A Birthday Weekend

As far as I\u2019m concerned, Luna had a wonderful birthday weekend.  She received some wonderful gifts from wonderful friends, she had a blast playing outside (off-leash) in the beautiful weather, and had a nice (and somewhat slobbery) visit with family.  More on this last part later!!

Here is Luna opening a gift from ever-reliable Augie and Ti

Clearly she is enjoying the pink tissue paper

\"\"

Hmm.. cookies?  And a furry stuffie?  What more could a girl ask for? (Although D wasn\u2019t so happy that the stuffie was a FLEA! \u2013 but it\u2019s not his birthday).

\"\"

Thank you boys - you sure made my day.

   Here is a video of Luna playing - or attempting to play - frisbee.  FYI- you might be redirected to YouTube to watch this video.

Happy Birthday Luna

Today is Luna’s second birthday (and while D has currently dashed out to our local pet store to purchase a gift) I would like to wish her a very Happy Birthday full of love and joy and tail wagging. We are thrilled to be able to celebrate it with you!

From ‘Luna the Domesticated Dog’ to ‘Lola the Downtown Debutante’

Today is my 31st birthday (gasp!) and like I mentioned in a previous post, we all celebrated my birthday last weekend, since D had a short-fused meeting out-of-town and would miss my actual \u2018big day\u2019.  I couldn't have a more thoughtful husband; once he found out he\u2019d be gone, he very quickly orchestrated an overnight getaway at our favorite hotel in Seattle, a fantastic (and wine-filled) four course dinner downtown, AND he gifted me two (yes that\u2019s right ladies - TWO) purses I had been drooling over.  The best part (okay, not really, but humor me\u2026) was that our favorite hotel (a Kimpton boutique) is pet-friendly (all shapes and sizes), and our little Luna was able to accompany us!

\"\"

When we checked into the hotel the concierge greeted us and asked for Luna's name, proudly announcing that all of the visiting dogs\u2019 names were displayed on the \u2018dog chalk board\u2019 in the lobby.  We grabbed all of our things and proceeded up to our wonderfully-appointed room, got \u2018prettied-up\u2019, settled our pooch princess in her travel crate, and headed back down for a cocktail before dinner. On our way past the front desk we paused at the dog chalk board to scan for our little girl\u2019s name\u2026 only to find it missing. We did, however, find a freshly-erased leg with the name LOLA scrawled out! LOLA?!?!? But how? Whaaa? Huh?!??  We each scratched our heads and glanced at one another trying to determine if we were going to say anything to the folks at the front desk. We decided, instead, to grab that cocktail first. I will admit that D came up with the title for this post while sipping a martini in the hotel\u2019s restaurant/bar, and we then mutually decided to let sleeping dogs (or, more precisely \u2013 sleeping chalk dogs \u2013 lie), and not correct the mistake.

Now please enjoy a few pictures of our evening!
