International Thanksgiving

Some first pictures from last night's events!

grilling on the cedar planks.

Minnie and Baron. Minnie the stealth pooper. :(

The main course.
The table for 8.
Eating my pride and joy course - acorn squash soup in squash bowls. That was a lot of work.

The presentation.

Trip to Ohio

I went back to Ohio with Minnie to meet up with Eric and spend some time with the fam. It nicely coincided with Halloween so I brought alone Minnie's costume.

"I will get you back for this." You should see how creative my office got with this photo and captions.

What is it with dogs and their fascination with the other dog's toys?

Grandpa and pet therapy. :)

Lauren celebrated her 24th birthday. Enough candles on that cake?

Visited with Jody and Joey. At 3 months of age, he's very proudly holding his head up high.

Tango was VERY fascinated with his little friend. Minnie got a little testy after having a 70lb shadow for 3 days straight.

Sleeeeeeeeepy.

Minnie's New Trick

Eric teaches Minnie a new trick.

Minnie's 2nd Birthday!

Minnie celebrated her second birthday today at the office. She had quite a turnout for her celebration.

Human cupcakes for the humans.

The humans.
Doggie cupcake for the dog.

I swear it took over 30 minutes to work through the icing. She did find quite the surprise inside though - peanut butter.

Please let me eat....

The girls. Minnie is now completely wiped out from too much birthday.

Eric's 30th Birthday Party!

We had a celebration for Eric's 30th birthday at our house with Sharon, Simon and the furry kids.

The girls. It's blurry because they didn't stop playing for 4 hours. I can speak for the fact that Minnie is not moving today. A tired dog is a good dog. :)

Opening the birthday presents.

A kiss for the birthday boy.

German chocolate birthday cake. They didn't listen to me when I said simple, non colorful writing. Whatever.

Fire. Eric was not able to blow out all his candles. Booooo.

Eric and the newlyweds. Just back from their honeymoon in fact!

Traveling to the South

I can now say that I have been to Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri, all in the span of a week and a half. Rented a white caddy for half of it. This picture was taken on the last day...we look a little tired because we were. And sick. We toured 9 healthcare facilities, did 40 patient journeys, conducted 20 focus groups and drove over 800 miles. And then I needed to go to the doctor afterwards. Ironic.
