Yesterday I wrote about how amazing Dogtoberfest was for Shayne and how amazing she did. Today I'm talking about my favorite item from Dogtoberfest. I got the most amazing t-shirt EVER and I cannot stop raving about it. It's got such a fantastic message and one that I...

Well our busy weekend has finally come to a close and I am so exhausted from an amazing day on Saturday at Dogtoberfest that I have been utterly and completely useless today. I was functioning long enough to get to the grocery store but have since been useless. Our...

Yes, it is that time of year again when small children get high on candy and tween/teens terrorize the neighborhoods. Halloween used to be one of my favorite holidays of the year. I loved the revelry and the rabble rousing and the getting to dress up like fun...

The last few photos of the summer fun... And then the obligatory photo of Rio in a tree. I think it is a little sad that I could probably have an entire album of photos of Rio climbing trees... this one he got stuck in. Being stretched between the two branches he...
