poor dog tease

if your dog could talk.

this is a hilarious video that i just had to share. 

i wish this were real. 

i laughed so hard. 

you might have to watch it a few times, it's that funny.

now i'm going to go watch it again.

park happiness

georgia greenery.

i've been meaning to be one of those people

who wake up at 5:30 a.m. to take their dog for a 3 mile run.

no, really, they exist. weird, right?

well, i feel bad for lars. if i don't take him to the park, 

he doesn't get much exercise. 

in fact, he's lately resorted to chasing his tail for minutes on end.

i think he knows its the only way he can burn some energy.

but, until i'm one of those heroic oddly-early-rising people,

we go to the dog park. 

the greenery makes me so happy.

wouldn't it be nice...

happy weekend guests and suggestions of springtime. 

because of these happy faces.

Lars' best friend

the molly dog.

unfortunately for her, molly, my in-laws' dog, is staying with us this weekend. 

i say unfortunately, because she's a little high-strung, and

she really doesn't like Lars - 

he, on the other hand, thinks they're best friends. 

she is constantly trying to get away from him, and he is constantly following her around, 

trying to get her to play...

they are both clueless. 

i love this picture of her with her little hoodie on: 

she thinks she's a person.

nos chêrs amis.

dear friends, margaret, paul, baby luke & milo!

today was wonderful because we got to have some of my favorite people over for lunch.

they live way up in another state and i never get to see them, 

so it was very, very special. 

i only wish we could have spent more time together. 

Lars was really excited to meet their dog, Milo (although i don't think Milo felt the same way), 

and he enjoyed having baby Luke chase him around the living room...

it's one of his first interactions with a baby. he still doesn't know what to think of little people.

 10-month-old Luke was completely fearless:)

we had a yummy lunch and sweet conversation. 

i feel so happy. (and yet sad to see them go)

bad hair day, one of my favorite people and Luke's cute grumpy-tired-face

cute family. Milo is like a cat!

baby Luke

isn't their baby, Luke, the most precious baby you've seen?

i think he's pretty swell. i might want one just like him.
