November 2012 – Pandaberry Trail

Happy Birthday to Our Little Penny!

That’s right, our girl turns 4 today. You can bet she is getting lots of extra snuggles, a nice walk, and a special dinner 🙂

Throwback Thursday

Over 20 years ago . . .

Little Casey and little Sharelly

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas . . .

Lots of pet sitting going on this time of year.

Boots and bright leaves make me happy.

Peppermint hot chocolate with my best bud.

Target practice in the backyard.

The tree got put up in the dining room this year.

Penny got a new winter coat.

What little things have made you smile lately?

This year we headed down to Carslbad to be with my grandpa for Thanksgiving. We had a great meal, met lots of new people, played bocce ball for the first time, and had a camp out in the living room with myself, Casey, Robby, and Kori all snuggled in sleeping bags.

Our wonderful friends Allie and Leslie took care of our crazy dogs and left us with festive and oh so yummy cupcakes. When we returned home, Casey and I celebrated again with some of his family. We even got to play with the new baby in the family 🙂 What a great holiday!

Presenting . . .

My new website! If you know anyone that needs a dog walker, pet sitting, wants a custom art piece of their pets, or needs any other pet related services in the Santa Barbara area, I’m your girl!

Thank you Casey for all your hard work helping me set this up.

You are the best!

Rainy Day Craft

Today Kori and I took Penny to the park (dressed in her new coat) and collected sticks to decorate a candle. This is how it turned out:

Derbs

Today we took Derby on a hike to socialize him. We went up the Romero Cyn. Trail and he had a great time. He even met Penny, Sadie, and Mandy 🙂

Meet Boston

This is a dog that you would want to clone. He is so well behaved, friendly, and the softest dog I have ever felt. I have been watching him this past week while his owners went back east. I hope they go on another trip soon so I can watch him again 🙂

Lee Vining Trip Day 5

That morning we said goodbye to Lee Vining and started our journey home. I had never been to Yosemite before, so we drove through on our way out.

Goldie did great winding through the mountains when she was fully loaded.

Half Dome!

Bridalveil Falls

After making our way out of Yosemite, we made one last stop at Casey’s beloved Del Taco before arriving safely back in SB. What a great trip!

Lee Vining Trip Day 4

We started the day with a visit from Casey’s great Uncle Augie. He plays golf all the time and showed off his new hole in one trophy. Can you believe he is 98?! Amazing! He seriously looks so much younger.

Uncle Augie and his trophy

Then Casey’s grandparents and I hopped in the truck and drove up a mountain ahead of Casey on his mountain bike. It was a very steep climb, but Casey powered up.
