Dog days of Summer

Us and the dogs

Our dogs (featuring some guest dogs)

Guest dogs

Overheating is a real problem for dogs. I’m so glad we invested in a doggie pool, even if they don’t seem to appreciate it’s for their health.

Various guest and resident dogs in backyard and inside.

Backyard and house Updates

With my husband and my housemate’s help, I do love rearranging things in the home to have charming things to look at, even if most of it comes from a thrift store. When someone told me my house looked like a thrift store threw up, I was very flattered!

Las Vegas for Shando’s Birthday

From our hotel room and walking along the strip…

We stopped by the Venetian, so Shando got to see the FAKE Rialto bridge in Vegas a few months before seeing the real one in Venice!

We also went to Fremont Street (found a terrific vegetarian restaurant nearby called Vegnation).

Pink Panther Theme at the Bellagio

We got to see Christina Aguilera in concert, although ironically it was Celine Dion’s last weekend during her residency there.

Aquarium at Mandalay Bay

Hello from Vallejo, California!
