A Pink Pixie Princess - Complete!

Well, now you have to post the Harry Potter one!

OMG he is so freaking adorable! I am biased too because I love Star Trek and my Chihuahua's (also 7) name is Spock! DH just called me at work and told me to come home because Miss Posey got out! We live in a VERY rural area and she could easily get lost in the woods. The same woods where my Hunter got into poison earlier this year and died. Jumped in my car and didn't even make it out of the parking lot before he called me back - tricked her back into the yard with a cookie, lol!

I totally hear you on not wanting to watch your team! I was totally stressed when the Giants were in the WS and I would watch critical moments peeking thru my fingers (like that would help??)!!

LOVE Dog-tor Spock!! So cute and while, yes, I agree that it will be hard to ever top Harry Potter, this one is pretty adorable too.

Yes, we are pleased with this year's portrait!!

Good training week again and so awesome that you are feeling great physically - stomach issues aside. So excited that you are heading off to WDW soon and this time with Mr. A along. You will have a fantastic trip. I'll be looking for those picture updates on Instagram and feeling incredibly jealous!

I am totally relieved to have had a few good runs this week! I SO need a vacation...it always seems to come at the perfect time. Just one of those days today...

Oh no!! How scary, especially after what happened to Hunter. I'm so glad your husband got her back!
But seriously...BEAGLES!!! I made the mistake of letting Archie off of the leash when we were outside once and he proceeded to just do laps around the house...he was having a grand old time. I thought Mr. A was going to kill me! I ended up luring him back using - you guessed it - food! Everyone around us has these really well-behaved labs that they let off of the leashes all the time and they'll just casually walk and stick with their owners, and we SO cannot do that with Archie!

I totally hear you on not wanting to watch your team! I was totally stressed when the Giants were in the WS and I would watch critical moments peeking thru my fingers (like that would help??)!!

Right??! I was sitting in the room the other night and during some big moment in one of the games I physically turned around so that my back was to the screen...I just could not look.

We were possibly going to meet up with Mr. A's parents to watch a game over the weekend and that fell through...it's probably a good thing because I'm not sure we'd be very fun to watch with. I pretty much just can't speak to anyone and Mr. A just shouts profanities at the TV a lot.

Harry Potter (Hairy Potter?) is too cute!

 

[Sleepless Knight]

True story: A few years ago I found a plush talking Dug from Pixar's Up at the Disney Store. So I bought it mostly because he SQUIRREL!

A few years later, I decided to buy a Chewbacca Halloween costume for pets for the sole purpose of having the plush Dug wear it. So don't feel remotely silly for dressing your dogs as Mr. Spock or Harry Potter. I mean I dressed a plush toy dog like Chewbacca.

Ha! I hadn't thought about that. I was calling him Puppy Potter (because I always call him "puppy" even though he's, you know, not a puppy anymore ) but you are way more clever with the Hairy Potter!

I am not exaggerating when I say that Mr. A and I look forward to the Halloween picture all year. Maybe Archie will be Chewy next year?!

Plus - I forgot to mention this - we give them a $10 donation for the picture and that money is donated to local animal rescues, so it's for a great cause!

Puppy is a state of mind - not an age.

(My dogs are almost 9 - still a puppy to me!)

Man I love dogs so much.

So scary and so thankful Posey is OK! Our beagle escaped a couple times and we have to grab food quick and yell "TREAT!!!" as loudly as possible. Long ago before I met my husband, his beagle escaped and did not survive so he keeps all of us vigilant. Today, we worked on her waiting at the threshold of an open door to wait for the "go" command with a squirrel standing on the front steps. She did well for a beagle, but it's just a back-up precaution in case someone accidentally leaves the door open.

Ariel, Harry Potter photo is crazy cute!!!! Can't believe he will pose for that - incredible! We tried a tutu on our beagle last year - she wiggled out of it and started eating it in less than 5 minutes!

I hear you on that World Series thing ... why does life keep trying to get in the way of sports?

Dog-tor Spock is super cute!!

4 miles on a day when you didn't want to get out is definitely a huge victory! I've had days like that ... sometimes you just have to take what you can get, even if it's not what you were planning to do. Some days it's just not your day.

Have an awesome time at Wine & Dine!! I'm looking forward to following along on Instagram!

 

[CherieFran]

OMG! This is fantastic!

Just going to drop this information here:
There was an SPG auction to throw out a ceremonial first pitch at Game 7. The guy who won is a friend of a friend of my brother's.
This guy's a huge Indians fan. I'm guessing he spent a lot of Starpoints on that.

Awesome! A Family friend of ours' brother is in the front office for the Indians and her godparents are the owners of the Indians. She should be at the game tonight.

@Ariel484 i am pulling for the Indians tonight. I think they can do it with Kluber on the mound.

Not here to rub anything in...just here to provide a virtual hug. I know last night probably sucked but at least you are at WDW! Being at WDW makes most everything better. And at least you still have Lebron.
I think I only have like 15 more minutes in me of being a "cubs fan" before my system utterly rejects it and my White Sox come calling me back to the fold. Hopefully they take me back.

 

[dis_or_dat]

Just popping in to say that Ink N Burn is selling their Holiday Tech extras right now! Like a dope, I misread the deadline, so I'm so excited to be able to buy the long sleeve finally! Hope you're enjoying WDW!!!

 

[roxymama]

Your Instagrams are so awesome! I'm a serial "liker" this morning.
Have a great half tomorrow

 

[roxymama]

CONGRATS!!!

 

[pixarmom]

Can't wait for the Wine and Dine report! Hope you enjoyed!!

I don't know how they (the employees at doggy day care) get him to do that. They must have good treats there!!

I hear you on that World Series thing ... why does life keep trying to get in the way of sports?

Honestly...I'm glad it's over. I'm SO glad we made it that far, but I'm relieved it's done. :faint

Dog-tor Spock is super cute!!

Thanks!! I think so, too!

Very true. I think those runs are super important - gotta build that mental toughness back up!

Have an awesome time at Wine & Dine!! I'm looking forward to following along on Instagram!

It's been a fun, exhausting weekend!! Thanks for following along.

OMG! This is fantastic!

I don't think that one will ever be topped!!

That's AWESOME!! Must've been the best moment of his life!

Ugh, thanks. I appreciate it! Kluber just wasn't Kluber, sigh.

Thanks! I was truly heartbroken. I'm sure for anyone else it was a great game to watch, but it was hard for us! Being at WDW did help until all of the Cubs fans descended on MK for the championship parade!

I think I only have like 15 more minutes in me of being a "cubs fan" before my system utterly rejects it and my White Sox come calling me back to the fold. Hopefully they take me back.

You gotta be you. I'm sure they will understand!!
