Welcome to the first round of "Love it...Keep it" where I'll chat about a few things I'm lovin' and keepin' this week. Why call it "Love it...Keep it" you ask?

State of the Blog

I feel like I've had a mental block about blogging lately, and it was really starting to wear on me. For about a month I have been thinking about changing things up a bit around here.

There are four separate areas in the park as well as a sand mountain and a lake! You could be there with other dogs and not ... Read More
New Year’s Eve
We had a few couples over to our house to celebrate New Year's Eve. It was nice to not have to brave the cold weather and crowds for once. And we all had so much fun! Me and Ali with our champagne. This was after a few Miami Vice cocktails that tasted really good, but were deadly..... The husband and Mo.....their faces crack me up. The food spread ... Read More
Pictures from Christmas
We had a great Christmas with my mom in town. Even though it was really cold and her flight home was delayed for 3 days she was still a great sport! We wish we could have her visit more often....(yes mom, that is the truth!) Me and my mom with Wrigley. Wrigley loves my mom. He was so excited to see her every morning and he didn't want her to ...
