New and Improved Karl!


Remember how I told you guys about how we spruced up karl a bit? Well I finally got around to taking some photos. I think he looks pretty good. For the last version of the living room check it out here. 


Why yes, that is the third rug we've had in the past two years. This one is sticking around, it's so soft and wonderful. The table was a vintage find from an antique fair. The Ikea tray we already had just so happens to fit perfectly on top. 

Look at how big Taco is getting (Depending on who you talk to, it's Taco or Spaghet. In real life, he answers to "kittens" more than anything. David never ended up sticking.)! I think the first time I posted about him was here.  He still has leg issues, but at this point it's looking like it will be a lifelong thing. There's a hunch that his cerebellum either isn't full developed, or it sustained some trauma early in life. He has a pretty awesome life, he scuttles around the house chasing Bowie, and eats EVERYTHING. 


I also picked up this tray the day I bought the chaise. It's nice to have a place to set the remotes and my coffee in the morning. Plus it's a great color. I need more blue in this room. I think the curtains are going to be a bit too dark for winter though. Might be time to do a little seasonal switch out. 

Winters are pretty depressing here in Cincinnati. We statistically have more overcast and rainy days than Seattle. A little color couldn't hurt in improving the mood round the house.

iPhone Photo Friday : Baking & Dogs


To be quite honest, baking and dog cuddles equals most of my free time this week. Also, I really have no problem with that.

Meet Bowie!

I feel like I’m twelve, and it’s three days away from Christmas. In my head , If I just sleep through the next three days, it’ll go super quick, right? I’m way excited. My dog doesn’t know it, but he’s excited too!

May I introduce Bowie. He’s basically brian’s and mine’s child. We baby him beyond belief. He eats expensive organic food, which nutritionally might be better than what we eat. He sleeps in the bed with us, and is kind of our everything. When we got him he was about four months old and much smaller. I think he was around 30 lbs. We rescued him from some dog illiterate family who didn’t understand why an Austrailian Shepard had crazy energy. They gave us all of his stuff, and tried to pawn the dog house where they would keep him on us. He had no toys, and his food was “econodog” for adult dogs” and smelled like it had gone bad long ago. We asked the vet if she thought he would get much bigger, and got a pretty firm no. He would “fill out”. Well 30 more pounds later, he’s a pretty big dog, that loves to run and herd.
We had some tough times with him. Our current apartment is around the 500 square foot mark, and for any dog, let alone a high energy shepard, that’s tough. Long walks and playing frisbee in the house have had to suffice.
The new house basically has a park for a backyard, a big private fenced in park.
My dog is going to lose it.
I keep trying to explain to him how awesome it will be, but it’s kind of like talking to marbles sometimes.
