H & H - Pillow

For Christmas my mom and dad got me a personalized pillow from Pottery Barn. They had it monogrammed after my two kiddos - H & H. Love it.

behold. the babysitter

we are just entering the winter season here in kansas. in fact i think the first day of winter may be today or tomorrow.  which means - we have about 2 - 3 months left of cold, icy, snowy weather and the occasional  random 60 degree day that is comes out of no where. my pups are missing the nice weather - i know they dream of going on walks when we get home from work. they follow me to my room where i change out of my work clothes, hoping that the workout clothes i put on really means they can go on a walk. i think winter literally takes over their mind and they get ants in their pants. they will wrestle with each other at night, run up and down the staircase practically ripping the carpet up. they chase the daylights out of each other.

but behold - the babysitter. the trick that calms the ants.

the fireplace. one flip of the switch and they are set.  there is no begging to throw the green ball across the living room. no bones being chewed.  just peace and relaxation. they cuddle, put their feet up and chill.

by no means would i trade them for anything.  i love hurley and harper and i would throw the green ball till my arm fell off. one of my dearest friends is a vet and she happened to come over for dinner tonight. and well i happened to ask her after dinner to examine their teeth...and look at their tails that are losing hair and ask her about dog food.  but hey - anything for my hurl and harp.  love you dr. weeks.

i literally die...for etsy

i had a rachel zoe moment last night. i was doing a bit of shopping on etsy and the husband and i came across pet apparel. i could not help myself. i died laughing and could not stop thinking about how cute hurley and harper would be if they had on the flower corsage collar or the yellow sweater with matching brown button. oh the stocking caps and neck warmers. the husband was totally against the flower corsage collar and the stocking caps...but he did say that we could get them sweaters this winter. i mean could it be any better that their models are boston terriers. oh i love.

You can check them out HeRe. I had to post some pics of my favorite from BeantownHandmade.

loving the sun.

the pups love when i work from home during the week because they get to lay around the house rather than be in their kennels. i will usually find them laying infront of the sliding glass window snoozing away in the sunshine. i found harper here this afternoon - sunbathing on the back step. love it. she must have rough life.

Harper & TV

My little Harper loves TV. There are times where she is so captivated by the it, I honestly think she can understand what is going on. The other night, Marley & Me was on and of course she was mesmerized by Marley. She would run up to the TV and sit in front of it. She gets so excited by the sounds and movements on the screen. I am sure you're thinking - duh Anne, it is a dog on the TV and he is nuts half the time. But look at her in the picture below. Jen Aniston and no Marley.  She is totally into it!

Look at those big ears!

Magic of the Season

The magic of the Christmas season is starting to make its presence at our home. The tree is decorated, the stockings are hung. The smell of cinnamon and fir trees surrounds us. Winter is finally here with roaring winds and cold temperatures. I love this time of year and I just can't get enough. 

Here are a few pics of the tree and new stockings. And yes, I purchased monogrammed stockings for the pups.



Gulpy

Our dogs are pretty spoiled. They get all the new treats and toys that they could ask for! Well really we are just reading their minds…they don’t actually ask for things. They’re not allowed in Petsmart because they would go nuts….

Well, The Fiancé got the bright idea to purchase this cool little accessory since we are avid dog walkers. It is so bad that Hurley knows the word WALK…and we have to spell it in normal conversation. Harper just runs upstairs...trying to avoid it at all costs. We walk almost every day and typically do longer walks on the weekend. We have found that during the hot summer months we HAVE to bring water for them. Duh-you think!! Typically we bring a Nalgene and pour it into our hands, but now we have this handy little gadget that you can find Here.
