Kinda buggy

I have been spotting and squishing a number of these little bugs around the house this evening

Not entirely sure where all these bugs are coming from or what to make of this sudden invasion. I squish a bunch, and then a few minutes later I see another one crawling around on the wall. They look a lot like the bug Dan squished at the SMCCHS meetup last week. He said it was a Formosan termite and that they were swarming this time of year. It looks like a bunch of them swarmed into the house this weekend.

Except for my room and the bathroom, I haven’t noticed them anywhere else in the house yet. This will definitely require further investigation.

Meet Missy

Well, you’ve already met Missy.

I found out last night that Missy won’t be going back to her previous foster home, so she’ll be staying a little longer than planned. Not a huge deal, although a little unexpected.

She’s a really cute little dog, eager to please and likes to be around people. She’s young so she’s pretty active and likes to go exploring. She won’t wander too far away from you though. Once I start taking her out for a few walks, I’ll have a better idea of how clingy or not-clingy she is.

She seems to know a few basic commands, but could use some extra training. Definitely very food motivated, so training shouldn’t be difficult. She does seem to have a tendency to offer everything she knows in order to get the treat. I’ll see how much I can put into her little doggie head during her stay with me.

If you’re interested in meeting or adopting Missy, head on over to the Wild Heir Lab Rescue site and fill out an adoption form!

Missy in the house

I haven’t done any dog fostering since Sazy. I figured with school I just wasn’t going to have time to put into fostering anymore, so I had the foster people at WHLR put me on the emergency/short term foster list.

This weekend I’ve got Missy crashing with us while her foster parents are away for the long weekend. She’s a pretty sweet dog and Simba just can’t seem to get enough of playing with her. She loves to give kisses and having attention lavished on her.

Missy is an outgoing and friendly gal who is around 2.5 years old. She LOVES to play with people and other dogs. Missy is great at fetching her tennis ball and will bring it back, drop it at your feet and get ready for another throw! She is crate and house trained, gets along with most other dogs (she’s a bit too annoying for grumpy, older dogs or dominant females), loves children, and going for walks and rides in the car. Missy is a fun, playful, BUSY girl who will make any active, dog friendly family a perfect partner.

Charleston Eats: Shi Ki

Tucked away in the corner of a little strip mall on East Bay St is Shi Ki, home of what I think is some of the better sushi in the Charleston area and also the best udon noodle soup I’ve found in Charleston so far. It’s a place I’ve been going to pretty much since they opened.

Got there a little later than usual this evening. Shortly after we ordered, I heard one of the staff tell someone else that there was one Friday night dinner left.
