Not another Hallmark holiday...

Yesterday I woke up to the most amazing discovery (thank you Banfield and Runner’s World facebook pages).  It was NATIONAL DOG DAY! A concept like this may sound petty to some, but let’s face it; it certainly beats those “Hallmark” card days, i.e. Sweetest Day, Bosses Day, etc. In fact, considering I’ve had some pretty crappy ineffective bosses and dismal boyfriends, honoring my four legged companion in comparison to the other appreciation days I mentioned makes this day that much more meaningful.  It felt great hanging with Alf the entire day since it was the weekend, and during my quick visit to Mecca Target today, I brought him home a new toy to celebrate. 

Here’s his new elephant. I bought this toy specifically for two important reasons. 1. It squeaks (this is mandatory when purchasing stuffed animal plush toys). 2. It has ropes. His first favorite game is fetch. The second is tug-o-war. Playing tug-o-war works best with ropes. Plus, he likes to chew on them.

Despite finding something with two things he enjoys, he still tore it apart within five minutes.

RIP Mr. Elephant.         

Back in the Wild Wild West

Well, it seems summer came and went with the blink of an eye. Despite a few ups and downs, I'd say its certainly one Alf and I will always remember. With fall approaching, it's back to good times in Arizona. Although I really hate leaving Alf for work during the week, I think he's happy to be back at home. Here he is clinging onto one of my cowboy boots. If this doesn't scream, "Hooray. We're back!" then I don't know what does...

What's even funnier? I even found my own Cowboy boot to cling to...imagine that!

So, Alf is back to business...making himself comfortable in all of his favorite spots...oh, and before I continue, let me just say, I have left the loser Blackberry world and have entered Iphone utopia. Hence, Instagram pics!!!

Okay, continuing with two of his all time favorite things...cuddling with soccer ball on the bed (well, giving it a bath), and enjoying a hearty little bone filled with goodies (peanut butter, cheese, etc.)

Attacking and playing with my shoes as soon as I get home from work..

And finally, doing what he does best...Ruling the Roost, and looking like a King while doing so...
