I made special note of it because a number of recent years I've remembered, but forgotten on the actual day. Bad mama. I almost did it again this year. Oops. Pictures at the end of the post. He's gorgeous inside and out.
We got Gigi back yesterday. I got a call late morning and that was that. It was the right decision. Gigi was not happy and not herself. My girlfriend went with me to pick her up (we did a fun late lunch in the city). When we came through our neighborhood gates, Gigi got excited, jumping up and down. We both saw how happy she was to be home. The dogs even greeted each other with wagging tails and happy faces. Dog stroller on order! We're settling in for a longer ride with her. My heart is full that this little girl feels so safe with us. She's not a city mouse! Now we know.
I got an unexpected surprise yesterday from Belle's (the chihuahua now named Dora) mom and dad. Edible arrangement with the sweetest thank you note. It made my day!!
Today is Lift in the morning - leg day. Then some cooking - FINALLY. Yesterday's change of plans messed me up again in the cooking department. And some birthday celebrations. Not the lake visit I thought (since Gigi is back), but something fun ... TBD lol.
I need to get my butt in gear a bit. We're having a BIG cocktail party for hubby's management team next Saturday (can't remember if I mentioned it). I have tons of stuff to do - starting with menu planning. The good news is a lot can be done ahead - I just need to get started! We have a packed weekend and having Gigi back puts a bit of a hiccup in my ability to get stuff done. Lots of starts and stops for feedings, potty, etc. Plus, I hate to crate her too many times or for too long.
Hubby suggested catering some of it. I might check into that. A platter or two can make things a lot less hectic. But is it worth it? I'll have to do some looking. I hate to spend triple the amount for something I can do better.
Happy birthday Parker - this dog has stolen my heart! I LOVE him so much. I have hundreds of pictures of this boy. I grabbed a few random ones.
