Went for a walk with a dear friend of mine on Saturday- we gabbed in the sun for HOURS. You know when you get on a roll and you practically talk your jaw off? Fueled by caffeine, sun rays and estrogen I'm pretty sure were basically the Michael Jordan's of jabbering.
We came across these floating rocks*. The water was perfectly still despite being on the edge of the ocean. Cool, right?

This weekend was one of those mind-buzzing weekends. The kind where you walk into rooms, forgot why, walk out, have a flash of brilliance and remember, walk back into the room... and then promptly forget again and do something else entirely.
PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS DAYS LIKE THAT.
Since my brain wasn't working it was the PERFECT weekend to zone out and watch movies.

Mmmm. Cherry blossoms.
I took this picture last Friday while I was taking the dogs for a walk. I love it when a breeze starts to blow and the petals start to fall like snow.
Nice snow that doesn't need to be shoveled.

This is me and Dexter.

An important part of the holiday process: Devouring delectable books.
Have you read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time? You need to read this book. I read this fabulous skip-and-jump of a novel long before I was freakishly into dogs. It's not really about dogs anyway.

John and I went away for a couple of days. I'll write a more complete post about the Divine Days of Awww, but in the meantime: Oh. My. God. Heaven. We slept. We ate. We walked around.... we slept, we ate... and after all of that we looked around and sighed:

I didn't know Daddy, I don't know the Millan's, but I am sitting here bawling my eyes out because I can't imagine what they are going through right now. My heart truly goes out to them.

I went to Vancouver a couple weeks ago for a family emergency (everything is okay) and in order to get there I hung out on public transport for many-an-hour. Which meant I got to do cool things like people watch, chow down on a gooey chocolate bar for breakfast (you're allowed to do that when you're traveling, oh-yes-you-are-trust-me), and... wait for it...

Back in the day when my dogs were really, really bad, they gnawed on the remote control, notably the power button. Now the TV turns on at random times, like in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, which is a pain because the TV popping on throws me into confused, half-awake freak-outs:

This is an excerpt from the Fido & Wino Guest Blogger post on the Petfinder.com Blog.
As Valentine's Day approaches you could be thinking a couple of things. Maybe you're contentedly daydreaming about perforated paper bunny cards, too-hot cinnamon hearts and the various secret admirers you are sure to have doting on you this year.
Or perhaps you are thinking, "Ugh."

I took this photo last weekend; the last weekend of January 2010. I love how the brush looks like it's burnt and Kayloo and Mickey looked positively thrilled to be a part of it all.
Two years ago I didn't have dogs. I don't think I noticed things like rusty crimson cliffs and how beautiful a tree looks balancing beside a dilapidated old barn.
