Stress!!!

What does this word mean, "Stress", that I keep hearing the roomies talk about a lot lately? From what I can tell it makes the roomies crazy, so I'm not sure I like it. I get stressed when I can't find my Kong....but what can they be stressed about? If stress is us finding out a couple of weeks ago that we are moving to DC 3 weeks sooner then we thought leaving us basically less then 1 month to plan (and say our goodbyes to the squirrels in the yard!)…..then I think I know what it is.  I heard something about the Tacoma house being vacant again in April and them almost having to evict someone again....could that be it? Roomie 1 is trying to find a job and home for us w/in 2 months and has only had 1 interview (and one person stand her up for a phone interview after she waited 30 mins for the call....not nice!)...could that be it? Roomie 2 had to drive the pretty red car in the garage to WA and had 2 days to do it in (and first had to take it to a shop to see if it could make the trip) and I heard something about him finding out w/3 days notice he needed to do this....could that be it? (btw...does that mean they have a car and a house in WA they pay for but don't use? Maybe that's stress?) I keep hearing something about how broke they are after doing something called taxes this year making the job hunt for roomie 1 even more important....could that be it?

I mean all of this happened in the last month which explains I guess the decrease in our walks since they seem to be pretty busy, and I keep hearing roomie one mention that all of this timing is awful.....is that why she's been so crazy lately and is eating her body weight in Doritos weekly? Is that what "stress" is? I don't know what stress is....but they sure don't seem to like it so I'm looking forward to stress going away b/c I really want to go play! I cuddle with them as much as possible b/c stress sure seems to have them down and I know I make them smile. Good thing they have each other (and JD and me!) b/c this stress stuff sure seems like no fun.

Well gotta go cuddle w/roomie 2 b/c he's busy grooming me and the sis to get us ready for our car ride across the USA!
