We attended the B-52’s concert a week ago last Tuesday with 3000 of our closest friends. That’s how many people were there, but we only had 40 or so tickets as it was a company outing.
Here are a few of my favorite picks from the night:
Here’s a few pictures of the tired puppy on the way home from Camp Bow Wow in Lodo:
The part she likes least about going to Camp Bow Wow is that she has to wear her doggie seat belt in the car. Otherwise, she runs and plays the whole time she is there. Thanks Camp Bow Wow for taking such good care of our dog!
This morning Sara gave Tom his birthday present a little early as he leaves for Europe tomorrow and won’t be here for his b-day on the 22nd.
Don’t be jealous…if you want your very own Snuggie, log on and order one today!
Happy Birthday Tom. We’re going to miss you at the B52’s concert!
We’ve had some crazy weather over the last week. On the way to pick up Dakota from Doggie Day Care, I snapped the following picture:
And while on 225 driving home after work later that same day, I snapped this picture:
Yesterday morning on our way to work, we dropped Dakota off at Camp Bow Wow. After she was taken into the back, we got a short tour and then were off to work.
Camp Bow Wow has Web cams set up so that you can check on your dog during the day. Here are a few pictures that I grabbed:
There were multiple black dogs in there with her, but we could see her pink collar in most cases so we were able to keep tabs on her.
Notice what happens when all the dogs leave? Mike was afraid that she was too hyper, but when we picked her up at the end of the day they said that she did GREAT.
While driving home I snapped this picture of her in the back seat:
Mission accomplished! Here’s to hoping she sleeps most of the day before we take her back to Doggie Day Care tomorrow.
In preparation for the completion of our workout room in the basement, we purchased a elliptical today. We had been reviewing them online and in the stores over the last few months. A couple of weeks ago I was talking to Tom about the elliptical he purchased after New Years to see if he liked it. He said that he rarely if ever used
and it and wanted to know if we were interested in purchasing it.
So today we headed up to Arvada to check it out. Both Mike and I tested it out, although seeing as I’ll be the primary user, it was more about what I thought about it. It was smooth and extremely quiet, but it was smaller than I expected.
So, we know have an elliptical. It’s in our bedroom currently as the basement is stiil in the process of being finished. My plan is to use it 2-3 times a week. We’ll see how it goes, but seeing as I’m already exercising 3-4 times a week, this should cut down on my need to go to the gym to tackle my cardio.
Yes! And today there was one within 3 or 4 miles of the house. We were actually up in Arvada heading home from Dale and Tom’s house when Ryan called to let us know he was heading into the basement due to a tornado warning.
The storm also brought with it some nasty winds and hail, but what’s amazing is that Tom’s sister Rachel grabbed this video at her house which is less than two miles from where we live.
I’ve never seen a torando up close…and I don’t think I want to. Thanks Rachel for grabbing this video and thanks for posting it on your blog Tom!
In case you’re wondering…I didn’t hug them. Just took their picture!
On Monday Dakota is going in for an interview. We are hoping that she gets accepted to Doggie Day Care at Camp Bow Wow as our plan is to take her there on Monday’s and Wednesday’s so that that she can play with the other dogs and not cause so much havoc.
A few weeks ago, she got a hold of a box in the basement, here’s the result:
The good news is that we were planting pots that week, so we used the chewed up Styrofoam as filler in our pots.
Speaking of flower pots, twice last week we had incidences where she knocked over and broke pots OR she dug holes in the middle of the pot. I was able to save a majority of the flowers, but needless to say we don’t have any pots on the patio any longer. I take pictures of everything, but this one was just too much for both Mike and I to handle….so no pictures.
Dakota has also taken to chewing on the deck. Since we have a walkout basement, she likes to sit up high on the deck and look out at the neighborhood. I guess the posts must look appetizing as she’s decided to chew on one in her spare time. Although I talked to Brenda next door and her dogs did the same thing…so I don’t feel that bad.
So it’s off to Doggie Day Care for Dakota. We hope she makes friends and most of all - behaves!
On Tuesday as we were about to head into work, Mike noticed water dripping down from the top of the window on our staircase. He decided to work from home and see if he could repair it, while I headed into work.
I was at Tower and 1-70 when he called to say that he needed me to turn around and come home as our current ladder wasn’t tall enough to reach the top of the window and that he would like someone to hold the ladder to ensure that he didn’t fall off.
For those of you who haven’t visited our new house, it has a walkout basement, so the side of our yard is sloped and covered with rocks.
Here’s a look at the set-up:
I’m just glad he didn’t make me climb up there!
