Puppy Photo of the Week

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!  This has been a very eventful three-day weekend for the Milt dog, Jeff, and me. That's because Grand-Nan and Aunt Heather are here!  My mom flew in this past Wednesday evening (very late night due to engine difficulty and flight delay), and it has been lovely visiting with her.  The first two days both Jeff and I were at work, so she was at home with Milton.  She claimed that he "ignored" her, but I kind of doubt that.  Milton is always excited for somebody to toss him the ball.

We took Grand-Nan to the dog park, of course, and we went on numerous walks both around our neighborhood and the Katy Trail.  Friday night, Mom and I created cards and a lovely wreath with Jeff's cousin, Lily (www.handmadebylily.com).  The arrival of Heather brought pedicures (Jeff went too!), dinner at Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck (the immense glittering ball in the Dallas skyline), The Great Gatsby, and yet another trip to the dog park.  Now that our boy can swim, we just need to tell the world!  Milt loves all the attention.

I think we might just have to make these Memorial Day visits an annual event!  Now that we have a fully working barbecue, thanks to Pop, we are in business for all the summer holidays.  I hope all of you had an equally splendid holiday!

  1. We were downtown at the Fountain Place Plaza on Sunday and saw they lit up the ball all in sparkly red white and blue! So glad you had a wonderful Memorial weekend.

  2. Sounds like a great weekend for you all! The Hub and I spent the weekend at my sister's (like he had a choice) but as her dog is extremely alpha, our dogs stayed home with the kids. We actually left very early yesterday morning so that we could spend all afternoon playing and lovin' on the dogs when we got home.

    Love to see lots of video of The Milt swimming, Stanlee is NOT a graceful swimmer - I posted on youtube, just type in Queen Goob and you, too, can make fun of the way my dogs swims. ♥

    1. A true doggie parent - I love the holidays, but I love them the best when we get to spend them with the Milt!

      I just watched your swimming video - Stanlee thrashes about, just like Milt! "Graceful" really does not describe either of them too adequately but "fun" certainly does!
