Dogs can be acrobats, if they want to bad enough ;)

So, my boyfriend is on a cruise in the Carribbean, and what do I get? I get to watch his puppy all week! It's a good thing Sagan's so adorable, because he's a fair amount of work. His diet is very specific and kind of gross (raw chicken and ground beef), he sleeps in a crate at night, which I have to drag him into at bed time, and of course he has to be played with and walked at least a few times a day.

Anyway, he's been pretty happy in my back yard and has made friends with the dogs next door. They play with each other through a hole in the fence - it's SO cute. They want to play together so bad and Sagan is just beside himself, he doesn't know what to do with himself. We are thinking one day while I'm at work they will knock the fence down and make one huge play area for themselves :)

So today, Sagan wanted to play with the dogs next door SO bad that he literally climbed/jumped his way on top of my little shed by the fence. I seriously have NO idea how he got up there. I guess he was thinking he would jump back back down to the other side, but of course he was too scared. Thankfully my neighbors picked him up (all dirty and muddy) off of the shed and brought him over to their yard. The dogs played together for a while and had a ball!




Maybe will can enroll him in the circus or something :)

East Coast for the Holidays

I made my usual trip to the east coast for the holidays, but this year was a little different, in quite a few ways . . . .

We went to Ocean City this year to see my grandparents, which was different and wonderful. We were all together for lots of great memories, including lots of home cooked Italian meals!


All of us together


My mom, Mom-mom and me :)


Me and Pop-pop

Then we headed up to Forest Hill - first stop - gotta have them Maryland Blue Crabs!!! yum yum


I spent some quality time with Carrie and Rob and their adorable treasure Tyler - isn't he so cute!?! We played with choo choos and trucks, elmo and tools, it was so much fun!!!


Carrie has to be the cutest mom I have ever seen


Tyler was all grown up since last year, talking and giving kisses xxx


New this year, I went to Orlando to spend New Years with my brother. This was my first trip there, so he showed me all around. We went out to great sushi, a wine bar, and then some clubs on Saturday night.


Then we chilled on the beach at the lake house ALL day Sunday and it was awesome!


Monday night was New Year's Eve and we had an amazing dinner, then hit the club for the big crazy night. To top it all off and make it the best New Year's EVER - my boyfriend DROVE all the way out from California and met me in Florida for New Year's Eve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe that?!?! My friend said - he's CRAAAAZY in love! I hope I am so lucky, he's the most amazing man ;)

Here's to an extraordinary 2008!!!!
