It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

What a busy week! So much going on - getting ready for the holidays, busy at work and lots of homework. Through it all, we started getting the house ready for Christmas. :)

Another Holiday Survived

We survived! It was a busy holiday weekend... Starting with getting Andre on antibiotics for a skin infection, then smoking our first turkey, on to a double turkey dinner, holiday shopping, putting up Christmas lights and finally decorating the Christmas tree!

The boys were with us through it all and are now enjoying an evening of rest and relaxation!

The coming weeks are going to be busy... but I look forward to enjoying time with my boys and our little family.

Our thanksgiving day pack...

My weekend of dogs!

The holiday season is upon us and today I was reminded how lucky we are. It all began with an introduction to a dog named Eddy...

While holiday shopping today, we stopped outside of PetSmart to look at some dogs for adoption from the Animal Rescue of the Rockies. Through all of the chaos and puppies, I saw a cute terrier on a man's lap. Could it possibly be? This dog looked just like our Andre! I couldn't resist and went over to meet this furry cutie. This is when I learned the story of Eddy. Eddy had just been brought to Colorado yesterday, the result of an animal hoarding rescue out of state. As we talked to the man, I couldn't stop looking into the alert, but sad eyes of this ten year old silky terrier. This dog captured my heart in just a minute. He looked just like Andre's scruffy brother. :)

So you are probably thinking I'm going to say we now have three dogs? We we don't. We are still happy with our Andre and Taylor, but today reminded me of how lucky we are to be loved by our boys.

Every dog deserves and safe and happy home... And every person should know the love of a dog. The power of love is an amazing thing! Eddy is not available for adoption yet, and from the look in the man's eyes... I believe he will not be adopted out until the perfect home comes along. Good luck Eddy!

So after coming home and giving my boys a hug (and a kiss on the nose)... I learned about another dog! This one is not furry and does not bark... so what did I eat? I ate my first chili dog! Yes, I ate a chili dog with Jim's homemade turkey chili and I have to admit I enjoyed it. :)

So after a busy day, I'm settling down to finish my laundry and start week five of my marketing management class. With the Thanksgiving season upon us, I take time to be thankful for all three of my amazing boys!

All We Are, Are Dogs in the Wind

What a fun weekend! I got my team paper done early, so got some much welcomed time with my boys! It has been windy all weekend, but we still got Andre and Taylor out for a rendezvous.

WOW... that took the energy right out of them! Taylor ran and played... and I carried Andre most of the way (the wind and leaves in the face was a bit too much). Must have been a workout, they both spent the evening on the blankets sleeping - what a life. Too cute!! :)

Quote of the Week

Wow, the weekend flew by! We survived the holiday week and are slowly coming down from our "leftover candy" high. :)

Taylor's leg continues to heal nicely... I'm guessing there will hardly be a scar. He on the other hand thinks its perfect and is jumping and running around. It's so nice to watch!

Earlier in the week, Jim and I were shopping and I saw a sign... My motto for the week: My goal in life is to be the person my dog thinks I am.
