Season Greetings

I have been working on our Christmas card as well as my Thank you cards(since I have been nice this year). Here is what I have so far, expect to see them in your email/mail soon.
Interestingly, blogger has decided that the dachshund "Thank You" card needed a color change. The real file has an offwhite/cream background with the dachshund and antler outline in brown. The patten consist of gold, olive/avacado green, and a brick red. The stars are gold. I do like bloggers winter wonderland color scheme...gotta love computers!

Sometimes we take their intelligence for granted. <3 dogs!

We are having a Christmas gift exchange in our office so I have been trolling Thinkgeek.com in search of a gift for our network admin.(the name I drew). It was by chance that I came upon this: (how is it I always manage to find stuff I want when shopping for others...selfish selfish!)

I just love thinkgeek item descriptions:
Doggy Blackmail
"All day long you toil at your office. And all day long your dog(s) and/or cat(s) sit around awaiting your return, doing nothing but miss you. Or so you think. But how can you find out what your pet really does all day? It's easy, if you have a Pet's Eye View Digital Camera. Just clip it to their collar, and it will record snapshots of their day! You'll have a photo diary of your pet's travels and travails.
Set the timer to record a shot every 1, 5, or 15 minutes and the Pet's Eye View Digital Camera is good to go. At the end of the day, you can download the shots to your computer and see what your pet did all day. The camera is plug-and-play, so there's no software to load (it basically works like a thumb drive)! Who chewed up your slippers when you were at work? Now you have photographic evidence - it was your neighbor, Eric. Bad Eric - bad neighbor."

Spiders

I wish I had seen this prior to Halloween since our theme was spiders, it's pretty scary even in the daylight. The costume is so well done.

Travels

Lately I have been a little restless, maybe it's the cooler weather but I have been wanting to site see. Sometimes I wonder if anyone is content in the day-to-day grind. I watched "The Graduate" a couple of days ago and it also made me question my current "adult" status. With decision regarding law school and future career plans I have become overwhelmed and need an agenda free break. Zola is also a contributer to my wanders, she wakes up everyday with a roof over her head and only has to be herself in return. What a life! Maybe I will sell my house or my car, purchase on of these and make/sell things to afford gas. Just the 3 of us; me, joe and Zola on the open road/water!

"Marley and Me"

As I stated in the beginning, The book Marley and Me by John Grogan was the initial inspiration for this blog and I am very excited about it being made into a movie. The book was a bit emotional for me so I'm not sure if going to the theatre is a good idea or not, either way I can't wait to see it.

Autumn

The leaves are falling,temperature is dropping and Zola is a busy bee. The winter weather and the time change makes us blossom. We can finally breath and we feel recuperated when we wake up, it's the best time of the year! Running around the yard without getting winded and prancing around in the leaves can only lead to a fun filled winter.
