She's Had a Birthday!

Hooray! Cleo turned 1!

Our pudgy little puppy has grown into a pretty little lady.

She got a new collar, and a beautiful bow. Inspired by her best friend Dotti the Labrador!

The pooches on the porch.

Happy Birthday 'Cleo'patra! We love our pups!

Pooches!

Who would have ever guessed that dogs could have different personalities? Not me. These two dogs are night and day different.

Caesar is our little princess. He won't sit or lay anywhere if it's not on a pillow. He cleans himself all the time, he does not like to get dirty.

He is the nervous eater, the worrier and and whiner. One of his favorite things to do is lay his head next to you and whimper. He needs attention all the time.

That's why Cleo has been a lifesaver. She has been Caesar's distraction. We honestly bought our dog a dog. And it's been heavenly ever since.

Cleo is calm, self entertaining and agile. While Caesar prefers to be lifted into the truck, Cleo jumps right in.

While Caesar is cozy on his pillow, Cleo is content to rough it in the dirt. Silly pooches.

Guess Where We Are!?!

Yep, our home away from home... Wanna know what we (again I mean Drew) are doing?

We are giving this sad little lady a face lift! And it's going to be amazing...

We got so excited that we have already ripped off the iron posts and the plastic shutters on the windows. Ps, I always thought those were wood, they are not. We decided that we are going to blog the whole process to keep out loyal followers up to date. Prepare to have your mind blown.

As I write right now we, Caesar, Cleo and I are sitting outside of Home Depot waiting for Drew to pick up some drill bits. I guess I have just gotten so used to our dogs that I am always surprised when people walk passed the car and say how big they are.

Everyone comments.

I know they are big, but how do they tell from so far away?

Tonight we picked up some wood, glue and brackets to get started on the framing.

Drew got right to work ripping off the exterior of the portico.

And installing the 4X4s.

Below is a mock up of how the porch will look. Very well sketched by Drew.

We will keep you updated on the progress! Hopefully the weather holds out like my iPhone weather app promises.

Lap Dog

Now all Drew needs is a purse so he can take Caesar with him everywhere!

Last night I cried because I was worried if Caesar died, would he know we loved him. (Random I know.) And then I see things like this and I realize, Caesar is one of the most spoiled dogs ever! We sure love our first born!
