A Weekend to Relax

I have been insanely busy at work lately so relaxing this weekend was welcomed.

Friday we had bear neutered so we took a low key weekend. We tried out a new vet. Dr. Larson is a mobile vet (http://peninsulamobilevet.com/). It is basically an entire vet clinic - on wheels! He came to the house and parked in the driveway (ok - ours is too steep. He parked the neighbors driveway, she referred us to him). It makes vet visits sooo convenient. I had to work on Saturday and Chris stayed home and watched the dog. Unless he has his cone on he has to be watched constantly to make sure he doesn't like his stitches. He put the cone on him in the evenings before bed. Are we bad dog parents if we think he looks absolutely ridiculous with that thing on??

 Post vet appointment - poor dog was still drugged up





Bear with his cone :(


Isn't that a pathetic looking dog??


We dusted off the Wii and had a friendly competition Saturday night (I think I lost though...)




Sunday we took it easy and celebrated our 6 month wedding anniversary! I know it's not a whole lot to celebrate but the secret is I had a coupon for a real nice seafood restaurant in Edmonds. We woke up early Sunday morning and took the dog on a long walk in the wonderful fall weather.We but the cone on the dog and stuck him in the kennel and we caught a late afternoon ferry over to Edmonds for a wonderful seafood brunch at Arnie's. The weather turned a bit windy so it was quite the boat ride over! It was a great to enjoy the afternoon and each other's company.

Us on the ferry! (notice I'm not smart enough to get the water in the background)





We had a very relaxing afternoon but came home to this...





How'd he get his cone off?!?!

Saturday evening Sears was having a big sale so I got Chris his Birthday/Christmas present a bit early. He's been stalking Sears for this toolbox just waiting for a good deal. He found a great deal so we trooped down there and picked it up! I guess there won't be anything under the tree for Chris this year ; )

Here he is playing with his new toy!


On deck for the weekend - drill for Chris and a wedding in Bellingham!

Congratulations to Bear on a successful orchiectomy. Now he can walk with extra spring in his step.

Also congrats on the Big .5! It hardly seems like it's been 6 months since the controlled chaos that was your wedding.

I couldn't remember my password and it wouldn't let me leave my comment. I had written a very nice comment. Now I will have to write whatever I can remember from that nice comment. I think it had something to do with red tool box and balls. Oh well.......

Maybe Logo taught Bear how to get his cone off as I remember Logo could get her muzzle off... Six months married how time flies as memories are still so fresh. Give bear a hug for us. Love you G&GBOOK
