Tyson is adorable.

We're off to Disney today; I'll check in when I get back.

How old is Tyson? Puppy? How big is this dog gonna get?

My son was just going by the computer as I was looking at the pictures- Ben couldn't believe how cute he is!

Hope things start looking up for the rest of your week

Thanks! Tyson is a 4 month old boxer. I'm not sure how big he will get, but I'm guessing not much bigger than Isis (who is 70 pounds). He is really a sweet puppy.

Tyson is adorable! Phoenix would love me puppy-sitting, though my cats would never forgive me....

Thanks! Yeah- my cats were NOT happy at all, either!!

Thank you! Have an awesome trip!!! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!!

I added another meal to my itinerary...Wolfgang Puck Cafe. I plan to have lunch there on Friday the 11th. I just renewed my annual pass today & later, I'm going to see Lion King 3D. That's all the news on the Disney front.
I bought Isis a Halloween costume...

The last photo says it all. That was the first and last time Isis will let me put her in that costume.
I don't have much else to report. I plan to do a lot of cleaning this weekend. Oh- and after 2.5 weeks of eating healthy & busting my behind working out, I only lost 4 pounds.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm anxious to hear what you think of Wolfgang Puck Cafe. You know me...I've already started planning out our restaurants for next year's trip and that's on the list of "maybes". Isis looks so cute in the Halloween costume but, I can see from the last pictures, that it probably is the last time you'll get it on her.

Don't get discouraged on the weight loss. Hey, 4 pounds is 4 pounds.

 

[aprilisis]

Thanks! I am discouraged with the weight loss, but I am going to keep at it. At the very least- if I don't lose weight, at least I will be healthier if I keep working out 6 days a week!
The one thing that I plan to be better at this trip is taking food & menu photos. I didn't do it enough in May. So I promise that I will at least get photos of the Wolfgang Puck stuff.
I don't think Isis liked being Princess Leia. Last year I bought her a monkey costume & she would NOT let me put it on her. Maybe I will try again. If I'm not back on the boards, you will know what happened to me.

***Duh...sorry, Lisa- I meant to quote you!

I've been saying that I was going back to the treadmill and exercise bike every night once we got the wedding done. Well, the wedding is done and I haven't started back yet. I really need to because I'd like to drop the extra weight around my waist and get back into shape.

You are too funny. I am sure that Isis will not eat you up just 'cause you tried to put a costume on her.

 

[PhoenixStrength]

Don't be discouraged, 4 pounds in 2.5 weeks is actually good! The average person loses 1-2 pounds per week with diet and exercise, so you are doing exactly how you should. My average weight loss has been 1.25 lb per week for the 6 months. Doctors actually say anything over 2 lbs a week is bad for your body as it causes too many changes too fast for your body to adjust. Your liver can actually shut down if you lose weight too fast.

Isis looks adorable! I've never tried to dress Phoenix up, besides a Santa hat on Christmas for about 10 minutes for pictures. He would probably let me, but the sad look in his eyes would make me feel so bad I would take it off him. He has the puppy dog eyes down pat!

You are going to laugh at this one. If I DO get bit, I've had it coming for a LONG time:

And this is what I get for only TALKING about cutting her toenails...

Thanks! That is reassuring. It was just SO much easier when I was young. I should have kept up with things years ago. It's awful that weight goes on so quickly, but it takes forever to lose.

I don't feel as bad dressing Isis up because she growls at me. I SO want to see that photo of Phoenix in a Santa hat!!!

Poor Isis! I remember a couple of those pictures from before but am glad that you posted them again 'cause I needed a good laugh this morning.

 

[PhoenixStrength]

That is the exact look I get from Phoenix when I put the hat on him. Let me try to find the pictures I have

 

[PhoenixStrength]

Here are pictures of Phoenix with the Santa hat.

The first one, where he doesn't look mad yet.

Starting to get annoyed

Completely over it and won't even look at me anymore.

 

[natebenma]

Love the Halloween and Christmas dress up pictures of the dogs!

You have almost inspired me to try to put costumes on our gerbils, Ghost and Recon. Maybe do a red and brown nose for a Chip and Dale thing.

NOT!!!

39 days!!!

This weekend coming up, my friend from PA will be visiting me (my b-day is next week) & we will be going to Western Mass. John & I will also be going to Foxwoods. I'll try to remember to take some photos. Other than that, I have 36 days until WDW! I can't wait to go back. The gloomy weather we have been having has been bumming me out.

I know I am late to the party to post on this, but I am about to pee in my pants at these pictures. The fact that she lets you put all the different costumes on her, and actually seems to enjoy posing for the pictures, but then she looks like a vicious attack dog when you mention cutting her toenails............. .

Oh and On 35 more days

I love the picture of the dog in all the costumes...just too darn cute.

I've started my TR (although we don't fly home from Marco until tomorrow). It is linked here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2811447

Trust me- it is no easy feat getting those costumes on her! LOL Last year, I couldn't get the monkey costume on her.

Thanks! I followed the link over to your TR. I can't believe how many posts you have already!!! It's really awesome that you have so many readers.
I hope you had a safe flight home.

I'm having a terrible week at work. Plus- this one will make you laugh- I noticed today that something smelled weird in my purse. (Everyone is always telling me that my purse is WAY too big) When I got home, I started rifling through it. I took everything out (medications, wallet, checkbook, 2 cameras, make up bag, tons of little things) & reached into the bottom...what did I find???? A dill pickle spear rotting through the ziploc bag. Uhhh...nope...you didn't misread that. Oh, man, was it disgusting! I washed the lining & febreezed the heck out of it. It was SOOOOO nasty! I'm still wondering when AND why I put that in my purse! I just had to share that because it was so funny/weird!
