They grow up so fast.

Parker’s going to have his big boy surgery today.  You know the one…snip, snip. I dread seeing my little guy in pain and discomfort, but I also know it’s for his own good.  With so many pups in need of good homes, contributing to the problem of pet over-population is not something we care to […]

Something Old. Something New. Something DIY… + Cute!

The nesting bug has been coming in waves.

Donna - that bed is the cutest!! (but only second to Parker :) we bought ours from Costco and it’s not stylish at all. and that chair is TO DIE FOR. great decision on keeping it as is, but I’m sure having bought it for $50, it wouldn’t have hurt your pockets much to have it redone. awesome job!

August 17, 2012 - 3:14 am

Tiera - It’s looking great! I’m really loving the terrarium and the red chair :) And Parker is SUCH a cutie!

August 17, 2012 - 7:43 am

Amy - It’s looking awesome–those wire baskets under the table are too fabulous! And Parker–I’m sure he’s thankful we’re just blogging friends, as it keeps me from kissing his face! :)

mindy - Your living space has so many touches of you…it looks comfy but modern! Great score on the chair, too.

Tiffany B. - Looks great, it all works so well together. I just love parker and his bed. I always see those beds at home goods but I don’t think our dog would use it since he is a lap dog.

The Guilty Hyena - It’s been… so long! I’m glad to find some good downtime to catch up on your blog, I’ve been meaning to do this for many a moon’s ago. Congrats on becoming a proud DIY-er of a DELIGHTFUL finished living room. How perfect is Parkers bed, just the ideal doggie bed for your living room.

Introducing Parker!

We’ve wanted to bring a puppy into our home and lives for as long as we can remember.  We searched high and low and debated between breeds and breeders. But eventually decided to follow our hearts (with the encouragement of a few friends) and go the rescue adoption route. It wasn’t an easy one. We fell […]

Nadette@Eat, Read, Rant! - puppies are like babies, in that as a owner of an “adult” dog, looking at Parker’s cute little face makes me want another puppy! He’s sooooo cute, I just can’t handle it. You’re going to have so much fun watching him grow. Dogs are awesome, welcome to the club! <3
