All Dogs Go To Heaven







I lost my dog, April, yesterday after having her for 12 years. She was the sweetest dog. She would never hurt anyone and I always trusted her around kids and strangers. She was so gentle and always let me hold her. She hated walks. It was the funniest and cutest thing to see her refuse to go on walks. She would plop down and refuse to move. We had to carry her at least half way on the walks if not more. She looked so cute when I would give her a bath- just like a baby seal! She sneezed and snorted when she was excited. We lovingly refered to her as hog-dog due to her snorts and chubby body (hard to imagine a dog could be over weight and still under five pounds!) She had two litters of puppies and I know that it took a toll on her little body. When she would fall asleep her tongue would hang out of her mouth. She had some problems with her teeth and had to have a few removed. She would sit on my lap and lay on her back and wait to have to her belly rubbed. She was the most loyal dog and I will miss her.

The Past Few Weeks...In Pictures

Its been a while since I last posted. I just want to do a quick post of my past few week in pictures. I went to my first Packers game with Dave on 8/28: It was my first time in the new stadium and it was really fun! It was Dave's first Packers game too so that was pretty special. The Packers beat the Cardinals but the Cards came back in the last quarter. It was a pre-season game, so we are hoping to get to see them play again in the winter during the regular season. I felt a little bit like a traitor cheering for Green Bay, considering I am an AZ girl through and through! I am okay with it only because I never cared at all about football until I met Dave. Baseball is a whole other story! I can't cheer for the Brewers... Whack, smack I love my Diamondbacks! We met up with Jenn and Nate at the Brewers/DBacks game last weekend. Jenn is a Brewers convert! I remember over two years ago when I drove up from Tucson just for the evening to go to the DBacks/Brewers game with Dave, Andy, and Jen. Back then it was both us gals root, root, rooting for the home team. ( :

We also went to California with Dave's friends for Labor Day weekend. We stayed at a hotel basically right on the beach with John E., John F., MK, Brock, Chris, and Eric. Eric lives less than 10 minutes from Huntington Beach! We stayed there the first night after a long drive and a quick stop at the Casino. The next day we stayed on the beach all day. Dave and the guys surfed and MK and I boogie boarded. I had a blast! I was surprised I didn't get burned to a crisp. John's friend Christ was not so lucky... apparently he was burned so bad he couldn't get out of bed the next day! Yikes! That night we went out to the bars where there were: snuggies, bar fights, and one drunk tank arrest. Ya... kinda crazy! The next day we just hung out on the beach again. Dave and I went to Ruby's for some delicious diner-style burgers and just went to bed early. Everyone else went to Laguna for the night. On the way back to AZ we stopped at the outlet malls for a few hours. It was a pretty quick trip, but overall glad I tagged along. I met up with Court last week for a walk to Pei Wei. It was nice to catch up again. Then last Sunday Dave and I went to the Casey Jones on Bell which a place for Packers fans. We met his friend from work and his wife there. It was pretty fun but sometimes football games seem so long! Its easier to go with people you're friends with so they won't be offended when you want to play games on your phone for a while. ( : Well that's been about it. Now I have the task of figuring out something good to get Dave for his bday... I already have an idea for his card!
