Dog Shaming

Riley. Homeboy.  Spazz. Napolean. Puppy Prince.

 

 

 

Isn't he just precious?!  This little boy was officially a year old on June 22!

and is still every bit a puppy.  He has eaten a grand total of 12 pairs of shoes.

[not due to bad parenting on my part, but bad babysitters mostly. I'm not even going to go there]

 

 

 

Yep. That happened.  He even ate half of the shoe lace.

 Some people will stop and take pictures of everything their dog destroys, but let's be real. 

 When I come home and see my stuff destroyed,

 all over the living room, the last thing I am going to do is whip out my stupid iPhone to document it. 

Up until recently he would only eat my shoes, not SamIam's, not J's, just mine.

My guess was that he was mad at me for leaving him locked inside. 

He wouldn't eat ones I didn't care about either.  No. He was going for the good stuff every time!

Boy knows what he wants and works hard to get it!  He would go upstairs bust into our closet and then pull out whichever leather delicacy looked satisfying.  He then would drag my shoes all the way back down the stairs to the living room before he would go to town on them up.

 

Riley's favorites: one wasn't good enough. He ate them both!

 

1. Minnetonka Mocs

2. Sam Edelman Gladiators

3. Chacos

4. Nike 6.0s

5. Converse

6. Curious George slippers

7. Jessica Simpson Black flats

 

 

I love my dog. I love my dog. I love my dog. 

 

 

Days are getting warmer...FINALLY!

 Man! Yesterday was rough!  That Tuesday was totally a Monday in disguise.  But hey! At least today is Humpity hump day! We are almost to another weekend!

How is that whenever you come back from a weekend vacation you wake up the next morning completely exhausted??  The whole point of the weekend away was to relax and you end up being completely wiped by the time you get home.  Does not make any sense.

Our entire slough at the lake now knows the names of both of my dogs because we were calling yelling at them all weekend. 

Riley learned how to swim!  AND he is an even better swimmer than Dakota! 

Proud Mommy moment!  I didn't even have to get in with him to teach him!  He followed Dakota down the boat ramp and all of a sudden he could no longer touch.  And awhat do ya know?! He was swimming! I thought for sure I was going to have to save him at least once, but nope!  Just a swimmin' like an otter!  I guess all of that running he does in the backyard has really built up his endurance because I had to force him to get out of the water.  He was swimming in circles all day and if he saw a duck he was after it!   He swims faster than the ducks too! The only reason he never caught one was because they would fly out of the water!  SamIam had to go and get him on the Seadoo from out in the middle of the slough at one point because he was after those ducks tails and would not turn back!



"Wait for me guys!"

Gotta get those ducks!



 

Those are some tired babies! 

 

  

 Before I went to the lake this past weekend I attended a going away party for a sweet friend.

She will be moving to South Africa for the next eight months to do mission work. 

You guys really should go check out her first post about her journey to get to the journey!

 

Her mom had the cutest cake made!
 There is a little plane flying from the US to South Africa.

Rach you are going to be amazing!!!
 

Funny Money

my FUNNY money

1. I went to Chikfila on Wednesday morning for some minis and a coffee.  I get my food and give the girl ^^ten dollar bill.  She goes to get the manager....say what??  The manager comes back gives me my money back and tells me to have a nice day.  Huh?  I try to give the girl my debit card and she tells me that my money looked funny and not to worry about it. Wail! Ok then!!  Free Chikfila for me!



Dakota                                        Riley

2.This picture pretty much sums up my dogs perfectly....they were both in the backyard together all day.  Dakota comes inside smiling all clean!  While Riley comes inside like a spazz, dirty as hell, and wiggling all over the place.  You can't really see in the picture because he was moving so much but he is wet and his fur is caked in mud.  To the tub we go!  I really don't understand how he manages to get so nasty while she stays so clean.  He is on his third bath this week.

I hate my father for dangling this in my face!  Check it out it sounds amazing!

4.  I can NOT wait until I am on lake time this weekend!  We are going to let Riley swim for the first time!  I am hoping he will be a natural and just follow Dakota.  He is such a pussy about riding in the car  that I to have to drug him just to get him to the lake. So sad.

Natural glitter!

 

 

Please get me here NOW!  

War Damn America!

 Happy Memorial Day! Remember to take a moment to honor those that gave their lives for us!

Hey boy hey!



 So while I was enjoying myself watching Chicago on Broadway...This badass followed me on Twitter!!  Life MADE! So lame I know. But he sent me direct messages too!  That makes us officially best friends!  Right?!?  He is the lead singer and slide guitarist from one of my favorite bands!  I have been educating people about his music for years so today I will share with you guys again!

PROOF! Frands!!

 

 

In honor of #backthatazzup Friday of course!

 

   Here's to hoping my office closes early today! So that I can welcome the weekend properly! 

  

  

 

 

Everyone loves a good Darty!

Dar-ty

Noun
A social gathering of friends during the daytime that typically involves drinking, eating, and ridiculousness.

It's even better if you darty for a good cause!  It is Autism Awareness Month and our favorite local brewery was hosting a Funky Fish Fry on Saturday to raise awareness and funds. 



Miss Fancy's Triple.  My fave!
 

Day drinking tends to lead to night drinking....without stopping to eat dinner.  Mistake.

 

The Lizzard.

 

Sunday Funday- Middy and I decided to make some moohla and go hang out at the race track for the Honda indy Grand Prix. It was so beautiful all day that it was totally worth the awkward sunburn I acquired only on my right arm.

 

 

WEAR SUNSCREEN FOLKS!

 

While I was out running "wild" all over town this weekend having a blasty blast with my girly firends my SAMiAM was at home trying to grow some grass in our poor pitiful back yard.  Riley and Dakota were very helpful.



I am linking up with Sami today! And for some reason the button is ginormous.
