Happy Weekend!

I had to share this sweet little shot I captured of my good buddy Waldo.  It's been awhile since I have posted any pics of him and this one is too cute not to pass along.  This weekend I will be laying low and cleaning house.  Perhaps grab some drinks with the girls tomorrow night and a dinner party Sunday night.  Gotta love friends, food and wine! 

Have a delightful weekend!!

It may take two or three tries but it should work :)

And as a thank you for voting, Waldo would like to share his skills with you all!

Waldo wuvs all the nice comments from Monday, and wanted to extend a little thank you to you all for voting!

Voting is open until May 27th, so if you have a moment and want to vote for him again, click here, click "Vote Now", select "W", click on "Waldo" and vote! The website is very frustrating and annoying, so if at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again! Thanks!

WHERE'S WALDO?

I would like to introduce ya'll to a very special man in my life. 

Mr. Waldo

Waldo is my three year old puggle who at times can be VERY, VERY, VERY mischievous (like the time he snuck into my suitcase and ate a pair of my hanky pankies which later had to be removed from his intestines and ended up being the most expensive pair of hanky pankies I have ever owned ringing in at a whopping $4500) he is truly the most lovable, sweetest little pup you have ever met!   

 He has been with me through thick and thin and always makes me laugh with his fantastic skills (high fives, walking, downward dog and saying "I Wuv You").  Which is why I am asking you all to please take a few seconds out of your day and click here to vote for Waldo.  If you would be so kind as to give him a perfect 10, it would be much appreciated it! 

I promise to get a video of Mr. Waldo thanking you all for your time and vote!

Happy Halloween From Waldo!

Holiday Cheer Part III

Waldo wanted to wish ya'll a very great weekend and happy holidays!

Pug + (fill in the blank) = Fun

So I know Halloween is over and I am TOTALLY ready to get into the coziness that is November, but I just had to share with you the best pumpkin I have ever seen.

This award winning pumpkin (Voted Most Creative)was designed by my co-worker Lisa. The pictures do not do it justice, but believe me when I say it was a piece of art! So much so that "Pugkin" was stolen from our office building. Here's hoping that "Pugkin" is returned safely home to his owner Lisa. (UPDATE: "Pugkin" is back home safe!)

And now for my absolute favorite Pug + (Beagle) = Puggle

Meet Waldo Emerson Cook. He is a 10 month old male Puggle and I am pretty much obsessed with him (but not in that crazy dog lady way...yet). I will definitely be sharing future stories about Mr. Waldo.

Happy November!
