Just Cricket: 7/15

No Willow this week since Cricket is the star.  Our clown dog thinks that all bubble packing needs to be destroyed.  No one believed us so I made this video to prove how he thinks an unpopped bubble is a horrible thing.

Enjoy!

Really Mom?  You have to take a close up of my nose?

I sleep how I want.

I was playing around with my "Nifty Fifty" lens and got some good shots of our dynamic duo.

I'm Getting Back into the Blogging Saddle

After a very very long hiatus to get some balance back into my life, I am back to blogging.  I was spending so much time on the computer that other parts of my life were suffering and I needed to get some things back on track.  All is good and Claiming Our Space is back in business.

We have been busy in the K & D household.  Lots of projects to reveal and crafts to show you.  But first, we have a new family member.  No it isn't a baby.  It is a second dog.  Meet Cricket.  He is a "foster fail" and we couldn't be happier.

Last summer, we decided that we would foster for the same rescue, Refurbished Pets of Southern Michigan, that our sweet Willow came from.  Alfalfa was our first foster (you will meet him in a couple of weeks, I am sure) and we while we were sad to see him go, he was never meant to be ours. 

Cricket was another story.  From the first day we had him, he just fit with our little family.  Someone inquired about adopting him after we had him for about 6 weeks and we panicked that he wouldn't be in our lives forever, so we decided to make him a permanent member of the family. 

Willow likes him (some days more than others).

He loves D, especially when they get to snuggle in the ugly blue recliner.

And he is laying under my desk right now with his head on my foot. 

So from now on Wednesday will be Willow & Cricket Wednesday. :)

Haven't yet worked out my posting schedule but I can tell you that we will be focusing on the house, the garden, food, exercise and nutrition and of course, the dogs.  D and I are on a weight loss journey to get back in shape for 2014.  Doing well so far but still have a ways to go. 

So stay tuned...

After an exciting, and busy, Christmas weekend, I think the best place to take a nap 

is laying on D. People make nice beds!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

It is hard work being a reindeer so I am resting up under the tree!

I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas!

I like to help Mom by laying on her craft supplies.  Felt makes a comfy place to rest.

Willow Wednesday

Mom, why do you always wave a treat over your head when you are holding the camera?
It is SO annoying.

Willow Wednesday

Mom, can't you see I am trying to hide?

Sunday afternoon naps in the sun are the best!

Sometimes when I am really tired, I tuck my feet under my chin. 

That way they work like a pillow!

I wanted to thank everyone that voted!

Happy Halloween!  

Instead of candy Mom is giving me carrots for a treat since horses LOVE carrots!

Willow Wednesday

Mom covers up my nose when she tucks me in to bed at night. I hate it when my snout gets cold.

Willow Wednesday

I am moping because Mom is taking my picture instead of playing with me 

and my squeaky bone. Sigh!

Willow Wednesday

Mom wanted to have me show off my Halloween costume. I am a horse if you can't tell. 

Don't I look fabulous (and fast)?

We got the jockey part of the costume at Party City and Mom made the bridle out of felt so it wouldn't be itchy for me.  

I think all the trick or treaters are going to love it!

This is my pouty look! We were watching ANTM reruns so I thought I would try to work it for the camera!  How did I do?

Mom says to remember 2 things...1. Don't forget to enter the giveaway for a $25 Visa gift card and 2.  The Fall Fun and Howling Halloween Linky Party starts on Friday morning.  Make sure to stop by Claiming Our Space or one of the lovely co-hosts to link up Fall or Halloween related projects, recipes or posts.
