Wordless Wednesday - It's Officially Pumpkin Season

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!

I'm sure you've already noticed, but I've been mia for the last week...we can all blame Domeek, who just started a new job! She's super busy right now (my alone time with her has severely been impacted too), but it will eventually calm down and we'll be back to our regular schedule soon!

This weekend was the official start to Pumpkin season in our house!!! We started off in Half Moon Bay...and then came home to decorate!

Dear Dog...no, not the costume!!!

Screw you Domeek!!! (This is my ticked off face)

I had a seriously pawesome time, except for the obligatory costume photo (which I have to retake because I wasn't being "cooperative")!!! 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!!!

PeeS: As you can probably tell, Domeek got her new iPhone in and found the magic "filter" button...this just means more photos of moi! In related news, we are now on Instagram, so don't forget to come and say "Hi"!!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Hehehe, with all these pawesome Christmas in July swaps that are going on in Blogville this week, I thought that I'd jump on the Holiday bandwagon too!! :-D

Soooooooooo, Domeek just booked our Holiday vacation...and it looks like...I'll be spending Christmas in...the...SNOW!!!

What the dog! I've never seen the snow, let alone been in it before, but for a whole week we'll be hanging out in a traditional cabin in Lake Tahoe!! :-) I can't wait! 

Take a look at the new abode!

It's one block away from the lake and only 2 and a half miles away from the Heavenly Ski Resort! :-) Could it get more pawesome, you ask? Yes!!!! Cousin Pippi is joining us, along with my second cousin Miss Snickerdoodle (seen below), and hopefully a pawesome Siberian Husky!!! Gasp! It's going to be a fantastically crazy Christmas!!!

You all just wish you were tagging along too! ;-)

Too bad it's still four months away...boo! But, we're already starting to make plans of the when's, where's, and what's! 

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!!! ;-)

Ok, have a great day everyone!!! Enjoy the sunshine (I'm off to dream of "snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes and silver white winters that melt into springs"!)

Patriotic Goose Style

Happy Friday Everyone!

Wowee, I'm so glad that everyone sounds like they survived all those horrible bangs and kabooms! Man, this might have been my second Fourth of July, but I sure don't remember all that noise! Dang!! ;-)

Last year Domeek made me a very cool looking patriotic vest to wear on the Fourth, however, it lacked in the actual usability factor (every time I pulled on my leash, it fell off and I went running...muahaha!). So this year we decided to play things a bit safe and easy. Domeek totally borrowed Sebastian's DIY idea and created a fantabulous tie!

Freckles the Dog

Check it out! ;-) It was so lightweight that I didn't even care that I was wearing an (gasp!) accessory!

Of course, this meant that I had to pose for the obligatory Holiday photo...urg, thank dog for the chicken treat or this would have never happened! ;-) Hehehe!

Freckles the Dog

Luckily we ventured off to Cousin Pippi's house for the annual BBQ...woohoo!!! There was soooo much food, sadly though I didn't get many people treats. Domeek brought some nummies from home, but it's just not the same! :-P

Freckles the Dog

Thankfully it was waaaay cooler near the Bay, so Pippi and I happily lounged in the garden for most of the afternoon! Ah, that's the life!

And, even though I easily wore a special outfit for the day, cousin Pippi did not want to...not one little bit!!!  Hehehe!

Freckles the Dog

Pippi says, "Heck No, Back off dudes!" ;-)

Freckles the Dog

Eventually, someone got a lei around her neck...but she took it off the second she got a chance!

Then, this happened! Boo!!

Freckles the Dog

Darn it! Oh well, I got more treats! ;-) Pippi just needs to train her peeps a bit better!

Freckles the Dog

Well I hope that you all have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Domeek just got a new pool for the backyard, so I'm sure the weird bathy thing will be in my future...hm...lucky me...

Bring Your Dog To Work Day!

Happy Monday Everyone! I hope that you all had a fantabulous weekend!!

Last Friday was "Bring Your Dog To Work Day" and by the look of all my Facebook and Twitter friends' status updates...lots of pups participated!! :-D Did any of you get to go hang out with your peeps at work?

Freckles the Dog
Going to work

We've participated for two years now...and it is sooooo much fun! :-D First we get coffee in the morning, then it's off to the work where I get to sniff, say "Hi" to lots of people, and enjoy a good naps! I personally think that humans complain far too much about "going to work!"...they have it way better than up pups! ;-)

Freckles teh Dog
Come on, Let's go

Freckles the Dog
Time for some paperwork

My desk for the day

Checking email

Freckles the Dog
Hm, nap time

PeeMail time

All in all, a wonderful and busy Friday!! :-D 

If you guys are interested in bringing your pups to work with you, I created a fun recommendation list last year, so make sure to check it out beforehand!

Have a great day everyone!!

OMD...June 7th Is A Magical Day!

TGIF Everyone!!! :-D

Well, I was perusing Facebook this morning, when I discovered that today...June 7th...is the happiest day on Earth!! Have you heard the news???

Freckles the Dog

Hecks Yeah!!!

Can you believe it? There's actually a day that is completely and utterly devoted to all things Doughnut!! :-D Que Delicioso!!!

So, now that you are all absolutely starving and salivating over the keyboard, how can you celebrate this fantastic day?!

As most of you know...it's probably not the best idea to shove an entire box of human doughnuts down your throat (whether you are a dog or, come to think of it, a human), but there are a couple of really great pup recipes and ideas on the market!

I was given a pup doughnut from Petco for my last birthday, it was fabulous, and relatively inexpensive at only $4.99 for the entire container!

But, if you want a treat that's a little healthier...or one that you actually know what the ingredients are, then I suggest taking a look at Dr. V and Brody's doughnut recipe! :-D

There's only 7 ingredients needed for this fantastic (and beautiful) recipe and I'm pretty sure that you have most of them in your pantries already! Brody gives them 2 GIANT paws up...so how can you say "No"?

Borrowed from Pawcurious Facebook page

I'm going to try and convince Domeek to make me and cousin Pippi some this weekend...better late than never! ;-)

Well, I'm going to relax at Starbucks for a bit and then hit the doggie park...try to stay out of all this crazy heat, especially if you live in California!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I hope that you all had a wonderful three day weekend!! :-D We decided to stay close to home and enjoyed a little well deserved R&R.

On Saturday, Domeek ventured off to a brand new farmer's market in the Sunnyvale area (little insider's tip, if you are in the Bay Area, definitely check this one out!), as usual, they didn't allow pups inside the gates so I stayed at home and slept in (win-win)!

Freckles the Dog

There were over 30 different certified organic vendors at the market along with a myriad of bakeries, florists, and food truck suppliers...all in all a wonderful start to the weekend! :-)

Freckles the Dog

All of these fresh vegetables cost just $20! Crazy!! ;-)

We also managed to visit the dog park on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. I'm not sure what was happening on Saturday, but there were a ton of different families picnicking in the park and almost everyone had a dog, so there were a whole new set of pups to play with! WooHoo! I particularly fell in love with a mixed poodle (or as his Pop's called him, a moodle (hehehe)!) who was about 2 years old and was visiting, not only our's, but a dog park in general for the first time! Domeek called him my magnet, cause he followed me wherever I went! ;-) I hope that he comes to play again!

Freckles the Dog

Then, this afternoon, Domeek and I went over to Aunty Nilla and Cousin Pippi's house for a BBQ!!!! Man, who doesn't love a great barbecue?! Yum!  :-D We had so much fun! We played, we fought, we went to the park...

Next time we go over to their house, Domeek says that she will have to video us playing together...apparently it's hilarious! Hm... ;-) Pippi literally threw me across the backyard today, I just turned around and ran straight back at her again..."Bring it Pippi!!!" Muahahaha!

Well, I hope that you all had a fantastic weekend, visited wonderful places, and ate lots of delicious things!!
