Dog Park Fun

My mom called me around 5:00pm yesterday to let me know that Shirley (a friend of the family) called and was heading to the dog park with her dogs Tanky and Miley. My mom said that she was going to go too, and wanted to know if we (Delilah and I) wanted to meet her there. Of course, Delilah is always ready for some dog park fun, so we left and headed for the dog park!

Here are some pictures of our time at the dog park... the blonde (by the way is blonde spelled without an e at the end? I was always under the impression that it had an e, but blogger spellcheck doesn't quite think so...) dachshund that looks kind of like Delilah is her sister, Miley :)

Aaaaand... here's a pink and purple dog that we saw. LOL.

I don't think I'll be doing Lilah's fur like that anytime soon (rolls eyes).

After the dog park we went on a bike ride at the place that I mentioned before in here... it was absolutely beautiful, as always.

I rode 5.5 miles yesterday, and want to try and ride 25 miles by the end of the month. Now I was afraid to say that in here because 1.) It's really not that much and 2.) You're all going to know if I don't even ride that little bit!

But that's sort of the point... I need to say something and stick with it!!

This N' That

I hope that everyone had a great holiday weekend! It was amazing to have four days (and a half day last Wednesday) off! This is the most time off we've had in a year, and it was wonderful.

We went out and did some things that we haven't gotten to do in awhile, like go to the dog park with our puppy (it gets dark here at around 4:45PM... by the time we get home its too dark to go, and we have had other obligations for the past few weekends). We took her and also her brother, who my mom still has yet to find a home for...

Here are some pictures from the doggy park... they aren't very clear, because I had turned my flash off and it was around dusk (I didn't want to be that person taking pics of her dog at the park LOL!)

Delilah is on the left, "Big Boy" (He doesn't have an official name...) is the blurry one on the right.

Russ and "Big Boy"

Russ with some other dogs & owners... there was a basset hound puppy that was SO CUTE! His long ears were dragging on the ground they were so big!

Later that day we took the dogs back to my mom's and then headed to the mall. I NEED to get some of my shopping done! So far I have only finished shopping for ONE person, & not even a family member!

So tonight, I will be writing down each person and at least three things (so that I can have options) that I think they would like & where I might find these things... the only person who has told me something they would like is my mom, who has only told me some nightgowns and a throw for her couch. Which really, is a great start.

Russ and I have agreed not to get gifts for each other this year because we would like to just save our money for one of three things... 1. New Mattress 2. New Computer and 3. (at totally bottom of MY list, top of Russ') New TV. Personally, I am just fine with the TV we have, but you know how guys can be with those TVs!

I did at least find a few things for one of my friends at the mall this weekend... but that's about it. Getting Russ to go to the mall with me is like pulling teeth, and if I go without him he complains about being at home or being hungry, etc, etc.

So usually I just bribe him with things like...

Gelato... (this is him sad when all the gelato was gone)

Once again, I hope you all had a great weekend... back to the daily grind tomorrow!
