Tammy's 30th!

It's been long over due, since Tammy's birthday was the 9th of this month. I've been so focused on organizing all of our doggie pics that I failed to remember to upload pics from a big celebration we got to join in on for one of my dearest friends I've known since I was probably 12.

Welcome to the 30 club!

Doggy Playdate

This weekend, we had a visitor while our contractor was coming to put in our new travertine floors. Out with the slate, in with the travertine! He brought Nikki, his 3lb pom to play with Skyybear....who is all 9lbs and then some. She looked like a beast compared to Nikki. Skyybear is not very social, so we are trying to socialize her more, but she ends up just growling at new dogs and being a terror to them. Not nice!

More pics to come of our new floor, a 30th birthday...but for now, just pics of more doggies.

Discovery Green Day

Back to Discovery Green for their grand opening!
If you haven't heard, there is a new park in the middle of Houston's downtown, right across from the George R Brown convention center. It's a 12 acre park that has a bunch of cool stuff. The dog run parks are smaller in comparison, but not too disappointing considering there wasn't one downtown before.

SkyyBear competed in her first costume contest...but we didn't really try too hard. Others just really went all out on their dogs. What torture! Maybe next time, mama will put a grass skirt, a coconut bikini, and make you hula for the judges. :-)

i am convinced that my dog is the prettiest dog out there....although she can be a handful at times. i challenge - whose dog isn't? they are like children.

To China they go!

So, Doug and "Chip" are leaving for China. No job, just the expectations to start a new life, learn a new language, and hope for the best. Rent in China is cheap and cost of living is slightly better there given their savings. We got to go to their dinner, one last hurrah before they boarded a plane today.
