Hitting the pavement

I'm thrilled that Mom is finally feeling better and we are back to running together! It's taken about seven weeks for a stupid foot strain to heal but it was worth the wait and we're happy to be running buddies again.

Here we are before we headed out yesterday...

And here is when Mom attacked me for a photo shoot. You might notice I wasn't so thrilled with the idea...

I think we both had a good time - we can't wait to get out there again soon. The fresh air pumping through your lungs, the sun setting on the horizon, the "happy rush" once you're done...nothing beats it.

We're linking up with Mrs. Stephanie T for our Little Bits of Happiness for the week :) So what's made you smile lately?

The many benefits of owning a dog

A little perusing on Pinterest led to the discovery of this bad boy...

Our favorite parts:

We try to offer extra cuddles when you're sad.

I definitely do! I run out to the patio whenever I hear my Mom or Dad's cars

Yeah yeah yeah but let's not rush that one...

Remember when I told you about this here?

Obviously. 

Have a great Monday everyone!

A Dream Come True

Oh my goodness we should totally do this!!! Pleeeeeeeeease???

Thanks to Dogster for the video tip!

Friday Fun: And the winner is...

Who will be watching the Academy Awards on Sunday?

 

  

 

 

 

 

The gowns, the jewels, the dogs! Do we think that Uggie, the famous Jack Russell from The Artist will make another appearance like at the Golden Globes? We can only hope!

Little bits of happiness

Today we're teaming up with Mrs. Stephanie T to share our "Little bits of happiness." These are the things making us smile lately...

 

 

 

Coronado by day // Coronado by night // Playtime on the beach // Adorable puppies available for adoption through Pit Bull Rescue San Diego // Amazing underwater images from Little Friends Photo

So, what makes you smile?

Coffee with a Canine

Just this week, Mom and I were lucky enough to be featured on Coffee with a Canine! If you haven't checked out this blog yet you should definitely cruise over there and give it a looksy. It was a perfect outlet for Mom to get to tell about how she adopted me, my goofy nicknames and share some adorable pictures of yours truly. Then again, which pictures of me are not adorable???

We loved our day at Cafe 1134, particularly the yummy snacks and very friendly crowd. We will definitely be back!

 

 Coronado is certainly a place to dream about. Someday we will be lucky enough to call it home but for now, we'll just enjoy the coffee shops and walks on the beach!

Blogger Meetup: So-Cal and So-Cool

Mom had a ton of fun at the So-Cal Blogger Meet-up on Saturday...for once I'll let her share pictures of herself and her friends ;) All photos are courtesy of Karina Irene Photography

Thanks to Roppongi for an amazing venue and spread

Quite the crowd! They had to cap the event at 60!

Pretty sure Mom demolished an entire plate of these.

 

...and these...

Fantastic giveaways, including this cute pair of earrings and a cupcake in a jar!

Room full of girls? Can't go wrong with candy.

Amazing print from Orange & Park that mom really wants. Hint hint.

Hey I know them!

Another pair of earrings?! Spoiled!

Adorable bracelets from Puravida. Mom loves that the little charm is a "P" as in that really long last name we inherited...

A final THANK YOU to the organizers, sponsors, and everyone who attended. What a fun way to spend a Saturday! Next time we include the dogs! Yes?

Superbowl Monday

I'm still nursing a pretty heavy hangover of table scraps from yesterday's big game but it was well worth it. The game was pretty good. The last five minutes were pretty great! And what did I tell you about the dog-filled commercials? I bet you didn't believe me either! We had plenty of good laughs at these ones, as I'm sure you will too. 

Volkswagen - The Dog Strikes Back

Skechers - French Bulldog

Doritos - Man's Best Friend

 

Our favorite was definitely Bud Light's "Here we go" ad with its ending note to "Help Rescue Dogs." Genius.

 Bud Light - Here We Go

Friday Fun: Weekend plans!

Guess where we will be tomorrow?

What's that, Mom? ... What do you mean I don't get to go??? It's my blog!!!

Fine, go on and have your fun without me. So not fair.

Giants or Patriots?

Ah, who cares? Once my Chargers were out of the race (which, I'll admit was pretty early in the season...) I stopped paying attention. However, I'm sure we'll be tuning in for the fantastic commercials. Any of the ones with dogs in them will certainly get my vote!

Have you seen (and heard) The Bark Side?

 

How about Subaru's The Beach?

Or Suzuki's Sled?

So what are you looking forward to this weekend? Time with friends? Maybe the fatty food? I'm in for all of it!
