It's That Season.

Sunny is definitely one of us.  My husband and I are NOT fans of pumpkin spice but  got her a box of the Pumpkin fall treats at Trader Joe's, as the peanut butter ones are always a hit. 

The Pumpkin ones?  Not so much.

Sunny sings the song of her people. . .

BLECH!  Pumpkin Spice!

I Don't Know HOW it Happaned!

 

My Bed - it just exploded!

Someone went into their crate at the normal 3 o'clock "nap" time while I got dinner prepped and laundry in the basement moved to the dryer, to find her "blankie" was missing (being washed today).

She made her displeasure known.

I don't like this toy AT ALL!

PlayDate!

Sunny has had several playdates this week with the neighbor's golden retriever pup.  We have a fenced yard, so it's perfect (though Napeoleoin's family has a swimming pool).  If Napeleon was out walking when we were and saw Sunny he'd lay down and refuse to move until Sunny came over.  So, after lots of sniffs on walks and joyful barks through the fence when Napoleon passed by, we knew a formal friendship was in order.  

They've had great fun and Nap's Mom and I have enjoyed chatting while the dogs wear themselves out.  She's a teacher, and she gets off work about the same time I do so this has worked out well, and when they're done playing we have tired dogs so we can get dinner for the family put together in peace

Some photos from this week's playtime. 

This photo just makes me laugh - that's my husband on the ground laughing, the dogs about ran him over as Napoleon came in the gate.

INCOMING!

Time for some water while Mom and Mom finish talking.

One last photo shot with Sunny's Dad. 

Traveler Alert

Sunny D. here: If any of you ever flew on UnTIED airlines back in the 90's out of LAX and looked up in the cockpit and saw this??

AND lived to tell about it? Thank your lucky stars. 

YOUR CAPTAIN WAS MY MOM.

She just drove me to the Vet for my rabies booster. 

Holy Cow! People were honking and she was swearing (in Norwegian I think) and there were sudden applications of the brakes followed by her driving like MY GRANDMOTHER for 5 blocks. And apparently, she can't park unless there's some guy in shorts with lighted wands waving her into the parking spot (sure, you were looking for something closer to the door, Mom). I was going to ask the Flight Attendant to bring me an extra biscuit and a double Puppuccino when the cabin door FINALLY opened.

 I can't believe they let Mom fly JETS!  

She says she was just being extra careful because I was on board.  I think we're just lucky she changed careers after an extra 47,000 years of school and now just plays with an RC helicopter in the basement.  Dr. Mom is probably not a better driver than Captain Mom, but at least she has crime scene tape in the vehicle, just in case.

How to Get "Pupcake Face" - A Tutorial

Strawberry Lemonade Cupcake

Tea Towel from Marley's Monsters in Oregon (woman-owned company that makes eco-friendly household supplies - with pets I love the reuseable "unpaper" towels).

Smile brought to you by the thought of her own "pupcake"

Don't Forget to Recycle

My husband is out of town for work and Sunny was FULL of energy yesterday (think hummingbird on crack energy). I also had a VERY busy telework day.  With a yard full of toys guess what her new favorite is?  Yes, the Rubbermaid vanity trash can I use to take my water bottles and small boxes out to the recycling.  I had hosed it out to keep it clean and she spotted it and . . . . . . .

Kept her busy for an hour while I got a few pictures and got some last bits of work done on my laptop before supper.
