Balancing Spaniels

So, through the course of doing some heavy social marketing at work, I stumbled across a twitter account with the most awesome background image: a little spaniel balancing yogurt cups on her head with a spoon in her mouth balancing a golf ball. I immediately turned my attention to Google image search to discover [...]

Puppy Love 5K – Pumpkin Wins!

So Pumpkin pulled it off… she won the Puppy Love 5K! Most of the race there were a few runners ahead of us running without dogs, and on the last stretch, we caught up to the leader and used him to draft the head wind, but then I could hear some dog tags gaining [...]

Our 1st Anniversary

So, it’s been one year together (as a married couple), and to begin/continue the tradition, we went to Hawaii for the Hawaii Star Ball ballroom dance championships.  We left Pumpkin with Frank and Francoise (along with Newton and Kepler), and set off for a week of dancing, snorkeling, surfing, and swimming.
It was lots of fun! [...]

Happy 1st Birthday Pumpkin!

Today Pumpkin turns 1!!!  She’s been such a good girl this last year… she still has the enthusiasm of a puppy, especially when it comes to meeting other dogs.  She still gets the rips and runs around the walls of our living room, even though she just got back from a 45-minute walk.  And she [...]

Pumpkin got Coned!

Last week, Pumpkin was spayed, so I took a few pictures to capture the moment, since she’s never usually this idle. She gets her stitches out Friday, so this weekend it’ll probably be off to the dog park and then into the bath.  Our “Little Angel!”

1st Time to the Dog Park

So, since Pumpkin has had all our shots, we finally thought it was time to take her to the dog park. We’ve taken her so many places now: the mall, restaurants, stores, parks, etc., but we’ve never taken her to a full on dog park.
First, we had bagels nearby and she was already acting [...]

Little Baby Tooth

Our baby Pumpkin girl is getting bigger all the time, but last night she had something special happen: she lost her first baby tooth!  I was holding one of her chewie bones for her as she was chomping away, and I noticed what looked like a little piece of bone crumbs, which turned out to [...]

DivX Speedway

So to celebrate the official launch of DivX Connected, our group with go-cart racing at the Miramar Speedway.  It was soooooo awesome.  I had never done that before.  I ended up with the 3rd fasted lap of the day, and had a couple spinouts and crashes, too.  I posted pictures HERE, but not any of [...]
