Thanksgiving Up North

We headed up north to Little Falls for Thanksgiving with our whole furry family in tow. Garfield sang Christmas carols the entire 2 hour drive home, at
least that's what I kept telling myself to keep my sanity.

The holiday weekend began with the introduction of our cats and dogs and Zach's new kitty Nel isn't she adorable! Olive really enjoyed playing with Nel all weekend even though at times Nel was not having it.















Our Thanksgiving marathon of eating began at my parents house it was Mike's birthday as well so we had some good conversation and great food. My mom as usual cooked up a storm :) The adventure continued onto Brett's family where we were warmly greeted by 5 dogs and 4 cats.

We attempted a group photo of all the animals, it was entertaining to say the least but we finally got it, and then we took one letting them all go at the same time.

Patty's table as usual looked beautiful. After dinner Brett and Zach actually started a campfire outside that was a Thanksgiving first :) The fire looked so nice paired with all of the Christmas lights outside.

We made an attempt to take a couple pictures outside, pretty good for being dark out.

Friday evening we went over and visited with my Dad, Mary and the girls. Their dog cookie snuggled up to Brett right away, what a cute little shaggy dog. It was a great Thanksgiving filled with delicious food, great gathering and all our furry friends!

Doggone Early Dog Walk to Benefit Home for Life® Animal Sanctuary

Oscar and I walked in the Doggone Early Dog Walk to Benefit Home for Life® Animal Sanctuary this past weekend. We had a blast! We missed Brett and Olive but they stayed home since Olive is not quite ready for such an event.

Oscar always finds the other wiener dogs--it's like he has radar or something. Oscar was quite a social butterfly by the end of the morning other people were introducing him for me :)

Our neighbor Melody joined us with their dog Spliff the Bernese Mountain Dog. He is such a happy dog, and we call our two dogs Peen & Ween, they are quite the dual. Spliff also has wiener dog radar he spots them out of a crowd of dogs too :)

A great start to a Sunday morning! We'll be back next year!
