Homeboy loves his bench. Or at least he thinks it's his bench. I think he likes the extra height ;) I've been working on renovating said bench for a while, but it's just soooo hot outside- it makes the job very unmotivating. I still need to touch up the black paint in some places and paint a final varnish coat after that.... I'm done! Hooray to another project being *almost* finished. There are some more items that are in the works, but in the mean time I'll leave you with this:

My Dog, the Bully
November 4, 2010
This is Oso, my brother-in-law's pup. He lives with us and we love him. So, I guess that makes him my adopted dog? my nephew dog? or maybe just my dog too (watch it BIL, you may not get him back :P). He's old and sweet and follows me around. He loves being in the same room as either X or me.
This is Kingsley. He lives with us too. He is our first "together" pet, our child, our baby. He looks incredibly cute, but don't let his sleeping innocence deceive you. He's extremely stubborn, kind of loud, and mostly likes to be alone, except during thunderstorms when he FREAKS out. Then he wants to crawl in your lap, in which he does not fit.
Bed time routine around our house usually goes like this: I get ready for bed, round up the dogs and herd them to their respective dog beds, X leaves for the gym, I go to sleep. This evening, Oso was already curled up and comfy on Kingsley's bed. Kingsley was in our guest room, sleeping on top of the guest bed, which I think he's claimed as his own too. After much prodding, X finally convinced him to get up and come into our room.
Kingsley walked in our room, looked at Oso, and then proceeded to crawl in his bed on top of Oso.
And there he stayed. I'm sure Oso was thrilled.
"Uh, what just happened?"
I'm sure you can guess who won.

This weekend was one long birthday celebration for us. We took a short trip to Fredericksburg to visit my Oma (Grandmother) and Opa (Grandfather), whose 86th birthday was Sunday. My Oma made a wonderful meal and a delicious chocolate cake for dessert. Normally, I'm not a big fan of chocolate-anything, but this cake was not too chocolate-y and the icing was so, so, so good. My Oma makes her icing from scratch and had never bought icing from the store until once, earlier this year, I recently learned. It makes me wish I would/could cook and bake more from scratch.
The remaining part of the weekend was spent celebrating my husband's birthday (which was a milestone-3.0.). We had a wonderful night out with friends on Friday (at two of our favorite spots: Opal Divine's, followed by Little Woodrow's). On Saturday, we ran errands, cleaned house, and celebrated some more later that evening with my papa and in-laws. Of course we also watched the (UT) game, which left much to be desired, but at least we won :)
Oh, and there was one more birthday to be celebrated. The husband, X, shares a birthday with our hound, Kingsley. We actually didn't find this out until after we took him to the vet for the first time. Obviously, we were all meant to be together :D I managed to pick up some cheap party hats while I scrambled to finish preparations for X's birthday on Friday. After strapping one on the hound, I managed to snap a few, quick (and blurry) pictures* of him while enticing him with his birthday bone.
*Although I tried.... Sadly, X would not allow to take any pictures of the both of them with hats on, hehe.

A Modern House...
February 11, 2010
...for your pet.
While browsing for some indoor/outdoor dog houses for our dear basset hound Kingsley, I found these two that I fell in love with.
Hand-made and modern? Yes please- this one is available here. I love that it is versatile and blends into the decor naturally. Of course, Kingsley would need something a little larger, but I think it is definitly something that could be done (maybe by me? because I surely can't afford this one).
I love the roof planters on these two. Perfect for the season, no?
What would your "dream" pet house be?
