School Starts September 7

Time for Back to School Shopping. 

Man, there are lots of shoes to pick from.

Yes  . . . I could eat those!

Happy 8th Birthday WInston!

I had a great birthday today.  I got great cards from the neighbors!

 . . . . and a brand new squeaky toy!

We are so blessed to celebrate 8 years together!!!

Read-Across-America

\We participated in Read-Across-America this week in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday. We all read our favorite books.  This is my favorite - Go Dog Go!  The best part is at the end when all the dogs party in tree. 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

We sure have a lot to be thankful for!  First, we had a gorgeous setting moon in the morning.

 

Smokin' Turkey

Cranberries

We spent most of the morning preparing food. I love this part. The smells are so good and the anticipation is great!

My very own turkey (It's really lamb but in a turkey shape)

Eating with the neighbors! I am under the table. Yanka wanted to make sure everyone had enough liquor to enjoy the day!

Our blessing to all of our four-legged and two-legged friends.

New Bed

It's pretty stressful picking out a new bed!  I've had my old one for a while now and I loved it, but my parents said that it was time for it to go.  I was not happy about it, but agreed to try to find a new one so we went shopping today.

Too Small!

How about that one up on on the top shelf?

Too Big! I like to snuggle in.

Just perfect!

A bounty of tomatoes

We have never had much luck growing tomatoes but this year . . . . what a crop!  Our new house faces south and they have flourished. Actually, they have taken over the back patio. I have less room to lay in the sun now. We are still harvesting in October although I am not allowed to eat any. Some people think that is what may have caused my recent gastro problems. I do eat anything on the ground so all is fair game.  Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful fall like we are!!

Bounty of the Sea

My Mom and Dad (mostly my Dad) have been fishing. Quite a bit of salmon have been caught so we are smoking this weekend. Unfortunately, I can't go out in the boat because I don't have a life jacket and certainly cannot swim!  I supervise the smoking instead. My papa has to go back to school next week. I've certainly enjoyed the summer with him!
