Happy 8th Birthday, Tessa! I cannot believe how 8 years, such a big chunk of time, could pass so quickly. May we be blessed with another 8. Thank you for being such a good companion and model, always ready to play and always willing to play along.
And just like that, it is done - we are in our new home. Dismantling and re-assembly of furniture went reasonably well. Everything fit, nothing got damages, nobody got hurt. Tessa feels right at home, and now has a fenced yard to enjoy.
