Oh, the looks on their faces! I'll have to send you a copy of the picture Ivy made for me of Leela (with embellishments).<br />I love the dinosaur dorm.

He did really well with zeb and zoe but they were both here before him. Now that they are both gone he is finally the alpha and runs all other dogs and such out of the house. It may be dominance but its probably dementia. He is very old and I dont want to stress him... Its good to know she lives in a cold climate though... Does she have a sweater... Im not on twitter...

Labs, I think are the most easy going, people oriented dogs. <br />I've never been a huge fan of baseball but we really got into it the year the Red Sox won the world series. Don't know why, but I really enjoyed watching those games. No doubt weekends are better attended but if I were going, I think I'd do the mid-week game. Kind a like going to a movie when there's a really small crowd - it feels more "homey" and personal:)GirlieOnTheEdgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226101556766074271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-4468479980377378412015-06-21T19:25:08.964-06:002015-06-21T19:25:08.964-06:00In short, no.

There were fans in the stands--particularly behind home plate--though it was far from packed. We went to a mid-week game. Weekend games are much better attended.

From the must-be-tone-deaf announcer trying to lead the crowd in a cheer, to the kids that get to run across the field between the 7th and 8th innings (as "Who Let the Dogs Out?" plays), to the home run bucket that gets passed around to "tip" the lucky batter, to the strange polka that has somehow become the rally song, there's just always something that makes me smile.

Eyore is my favorite too! Love his gloomy look on life, kind of like mine actually. ;-) <br />Wish I could say I love the look of Leela, but I can't. Hairless cats creep me out. Cuddling with a naked cat is just not the same as a big furry blob like my Dirk. Hope you had a wonderful day at the wedding and the Bride and Groom will have just as much joy together as you and John have! (and yes, my hubby really IS my other half too, couldn't live without him...)

Thankfully dogs are a lot less concerned about appearances!<br /><br />I do think the bedspreads are cute - even as I'm wondering how you managed to keep the colors so bright? Every comforter we've ever owned winds up looking faded and worn in short order. <br /><br />Is that an artichoke in flower? I'm from Canada, so I've never seen one growing.
