Merry Christmas!

Stella started her Christmas vacation today at Downtown Dog Lounge. She couldn't wait to catch up with all of her friends. Free to check in on her via webcam:

Pat flew to Minneapolis this morning. I am on the red eye to Cleveland tonight.

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving 2009

Stella wasn't much help in the kitchen...

We literally used every single dish, bowl and glass!

My kitchen crew

K.C. wasn't much help in the kitchen either

Must have been all that turkey!

Always a Bridesmaid...

That's right... Stella is jealous! She showed her resentment by destroying all of my bridal magazines while I was at work yesterday. I know these feelings are directed at me, because she didn't touch Pat's "Modern Groom" or "SI Weddings." Okay Stella! We get the point. You're in the wedding party. Heads up K.C. You'll be escorting Stella down the aisle. She pulls a lot on the leash, so you might want to wear flats!

The Chase II

The tail is (still) a constant annoyance for Stella. This is apparently the best angle for chewing on it.


Or some new dog-yoga pose that she learned at daycare...

Thoughts?

HOV

High occupancy vehicle! Some days Pat, Stella and I get to spend our commutes together. Stella gets dropped off at Downtown Dog Lounge, where she gets spends all day sniffing, chasing and getting really dirty! Pat and I inhale our coffees as we fight traffic (and sometimes white caps) across the 520 floating bridge on our way to work in Bellevue. The pictures above are from the best part of our day - our drive home with a stinky but VERY tired pup!

Too Much Fun

I warned Stella about mixing...

Swan + Stella

We ALL loved having Lindsay in town. Stella was especially sad to see her go....
