My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Dog that can sew!?

18 years ago

My 5 year old Australian Cattle Dog (Blue heeler) has glaucoma and can only see shadows :( He likes to use his nose and paws to push stuff like the button on the VCR turning it off. I thought this kind of stuff would end. Here are some funny things I just got a Singer treadle sewing machine and he likes to push the treadle with his paw. Maybe when I have it working I can get him to do the treadle peddle work for me. I also had taught him how to go and hit the snooze alarm when we nap on the sofa and then come back. He can still do this. There is nothing wrong with his hearing (he still has selective hearing at times), sniffing and memory. I couldn't get my picture of him small enough for a post so below is a link to my photobucket with his picutre
