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!

Mice...

I was picking up a collar for Cleo at Petco, and these mice caught my eye. Mice creep me out but this little guy on the left was hilarious.

Little Mighty Mouse thrill seeker.

Portico Update

Drew put the finishing touches on the trim for the portico. And it looks better then I could have ever imagined!

He put a belly band on the bottom of the portico, and individually cut the shingles for a more authentic look.

As Drew was ripping off the aluminum siding, we found some very nice wood trim that was original to the portico. It worked perfect for the moulding around the shingles.

This is our test patch for the paint color for the house. We got the paint sample from one of the families I work for. It is the color of the house they used to live in! I think it will be just perfect!

Better After... Feature

My leather chair makeover was featured on this awesome blog, betterafter.blogspot.com. I love before and afters, and what's better then a blog dedicated to just that! Check out Lindsey's blog! It's super fun!

The Happy Couple...

This is what you get when you have a bored brother who is too good at what he does! Photoshop is terrifying!

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.
