Snow in San Diego

The other day there was a ton of snow on the hill we walk by everyday. You may be thinking ‘SNOW in San Diego ?' Well, it didn't actually snow. Once a year, the neighborhood brings snow so that kids can sled and play in it. We didn't go to that party, but we came the morning after.

I pranced about but the snow was way too cold for my princess poodle paws.

Annie, on the other paw, found one of the only patches of mud and decided to stand in it. She thought the cold mud felt nice.

And then there was Annie with her dirty paws matching the reindeer on her fab new sweater!

Cocker Meet-up Filming

Last weekend I joined Annie at the Cocker Meet-up. Even though she just likes to observe, she is always so popular. (they think she smells good - it must be a cocker thing.)

Anyway, this time Oliver came with a contraption on his back. As I looked closer, I saw that it was a camera - he was filming! 

 He then went over to my dog and immediately positioned himself for a close-up of Annie. (I told you she was popular!)

Then he started over to me, but I turned away. I certainly would want to be groomed first if I was to be in a movie!

Toy Soldiers

The Holiday season always makes me think of the Nutcracker. So I thought I would inspire Annie to get in the Holiday spirit by dressing up as toy soldiers. Then I shared with Annie the Nutcracker story about the toy soldier who turned into a prince. She wanted to know if I was a toy soldier before I turned into a princess.

Holiday Garb

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I took out our Holiday garb storage bin. I asked Annie to help me sort through it so we can plan our December photoshoots. As I was chatting I looked over and noticed Annie fell asleep. How can this not motivate her to be in the holiday spirit?

Eat a Red Apple Day

Today is National Eat a Red Apple Day. So I took the basket of red apples and prepared slices for me and Annie. Annie wanted to know why would she want to eat a red apple. I told her that there is a saying that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"because apples are extremely healthy.  She barked now she understood why Daddy ate so much apple pie during Thanksgiving weekend.

#GivingTuesday

Its time for Giving Tuesday. I saved up my birthday present money and took out my change jar to use for  charitable donation.  I suggested that Annie choose a bunch of toys that are in good condition to bring to the Helen Woodward Center. So she did. Then I told that she will feel so good giving toys to orphan dogs that are waiting for their forever homes. She barked "wait a minute! I thought they were just going to borrow them to play with?" I barked back " Annie! Its Giving Tuesday, not Lending Tuesday! "

Thanksgiving Traditions

Every year since I have been with my family, they have a very unique Thanksgiving feast. Stone Crabs shipped from Joes's Stone Crabs in Miami Beach. I just think they are so weird. So that was our Thanksgiving lunch feast. Then we broke tradition with tradition! .....

A Thanksgiving traditional dinner feast. This was much more to Annie and my liking. I hope this traditional dinner becomes another tradition. Hope you all had fab Thanksgiving feasts!
