Happy Birthday!

My birthday was very special because of some very wonderful people!

My first surprise were these lovely chocolate covered strawberries from my BF Jill. They went perfectly with the lemon ricotta pancakes I made myself for breakfast! ;)

Next was a green tea frappachino from Starbucks. All because of a gift card from my hubby. 

Then I got a night out with my favorite guy. First stop was an IMAX movie of Allegiant and then off to dinner at one of our favorites, Tartine. 

I had a super delicious beet salad followed by a root vegetable pot pie. So delicious!!

Lucky to have some special time with this cute man. 

Then (yay) ice cream for dessert. I got TWO scoops of ice cream, toasted pistachio and salted caramel on a freshly made waffle cone. 

Then I got to celebrate my birthday with my family, home made spaghetti, chocolate cake, and more pistachio ice cream with Starbucks coffee. 

I think all my favorites were covered this birthday. Now on to my sugar detox...

Bennington is an Uncle!

Bennington's sister Blanch just had babies! She had six little ones 1-7-16. I couldn't resist asking the breeder for a few pictures. They are so stinking adorable!

Here's two of his nieces, precious little girls! Ears are just staring to flop!!!

One sweet little nephew. He has grey cheeks, just like Benning! 

Oh my gosh, then there's this little boy! He is SO little and sweet. 

Wonderful to hear his sister and babes are all happy and healthy!

Happy First Birthday Bennington!!

Happy 1st Birthday my sweet baby bunny. 

You are the sweetest heart, snuggly, smart, and spunky. 

I love you so much and really enjoy our nighttime playtime and snuggle time. 

Here my Benning is, eating his "cake," dried papaya! He also go to munch on some oat and sunflower treats. My baby likes his food! The way to a bun's heart is through his stomach. XO. 

Charley Got His Rally Excellent Title

We were very successful at the IX trials in Rally this year. Agility, well, that was a different story. Can't win every time.  ;o)

Charley did great and got his Rally Excellent Title! Good boy!!

Champagne and Diamonds Dinner

On Nov 14th, we went to my work's annual awards dinner.

I loved my outfit!  My skirt was made by my mom! :)

They decorated beautifully in silver, gold, and sparkles

And for the first year, the vegetarian meal was delicious and filling.  This is my puff pastry potato leek soup.

And I got this bonus from my work, a diamond ring!  J/K, it's not real, but they gave away a pair of $2000 diamond earrings.  I didn't win, but maybe next year!

Charley Got His Excellent Jumpers Title Today

What started out with a very long wait...

Turned into a wonderful day! 

Team Charley

We were at Charley's favorite turf, Countryside Agility in Erie, PA. 

We got a perfect score! Third place because of our time. I'm so proud. 

My baby with all his ribbons. On to Masters! :)

My New Ink

It's the constellation Pisces! Representing my zodiac sign and love for space! 

I know this is hard to believe, but it really didn't hurt healed completely in about a week.
