Raising Addie helping us keep cool

So if you remember I told you that our friends over at Raising Addie had a how do you keep cool contest in celebration of their 500th post. Well...we received an email that we won! WHOO HOO!

We had to take a photo before opening it because we knew Frankie would just love the snowman paper

Bokeh, you want to help me open this thing?



Starr wanted to help to



It even came with a beautiful card that I had to check out



Here is video of us opening it up



Thank you again Addie, Hailey and Lucie, we love it and can't wait to make one.

Bokeh is 47 weeks

We are actually caught up. Bokeh really is 47 weeks old. Only a few more weeks of this series until he is a year old. This is his first photo without his "man parts". He is also shedding like crazy and blowing out that soft puppy coat. :(

Picnic With the Pups

Just realized that I don't think I told you about Picnic with the Pups. Wow...I am behind the times. This happened last month. It was held by CHA Animal Shelter and is always a lot of fun. We didn't get to stay as long as normal because you see mom had a really bad eye infection. She couldn't even open her eyes to the light until she went to the doctor and he gave her a cool sun shade. Mom says you know she loves us when she goes out in public for a dog event looking like she is about 80 years old. Sh...don't tell mom I showed you this picture.



Picture of all the booths and vendors before all the people arrived



There were a lot of things to do like listen to the band play, drink beer if you like that sort of thing, get your paw prints done (Starr and I had ours down last year, so it was Bokeh's turn this year)



He had pretty pink legs for a week



My training club was there



and the therapy dog club that I used to be part of



We also ran into our friend from the club, Mojo. This is one of the reasons we now have Bokeh. Dad fell in love with Mojo and wanted his very own blue merle Aussie.



See...now we have this



Dad and Bokeh entered the tricks contest. But they didn't win.



It was lots of fun



Today we are heading out to Xenia, Ohio for Doggie Dash and Splash. Tony Hoard is going to be there. He is the one that was on America's Got Talent and has Bokeh's Aunt, Elektra. Maybe we can try to get another photo of Bokeh and his famous aunt since we deleted the last photo we took.

Friday Flashback

I would like to see dad try this with Starr today. haha
