This girl likes to swing.

Since we got the Labrador, she's pretty much taken over my backyard swing. When she was a baby, she liked to chew and dig on the cushions, so they got pretty thrashed.

Today, we finally found some decent replacement cushions at Target!

Here, we see Miss Kelsey enjoying the new merchandise.

Lake Hollywood Dog Park

This morning, we decided to take advantage of this ridiculously beautiful California day and buzz over to the Lake Hollywood Dog Park. This is a lovely little park, off the beaten path up in the hills where the iconic Hollywood sign sits. It's also just above a remarkably picturesque reservoir, thus the name, "Lake Hollywood".

Anyhoo, here are the pix. Some were taken with my fone cam, and some with Bri's Canon. I like the centerfold-quality shot he got of the dog with the sign in the background!

Kelsey Visits the Work Peeps!

Today, me and The Boy took Kelsey Ginger Boof (yes, that IS her real name) to CSUN to visit with my work peeps. It was GREAT to see my friends (even tho I've only been gone from work for like 3 days -- LOL). And of course, seeing Kelsey is ALWAYS a treat for all who behold her.

SHE. IS. PROSH.!

Thanks for tearing yourselves away from the office, Gang! xoxoxooxo

Pre-Mom's Day visit with Grandma

We went to Grandma's today to take her out to lunch for Mother's Day. After lunch, we enjoyed Grandma's pool! It was a lovely day!

Dinner was had at Wendy's in Monrovia, where we could sit outside with the puppeh.

Now, I shall make plans for MY Mother's Day tomorrow... Hmmm... What to do...

Suck It, CuteOverload!

Awwww, I'm just kiddin'. I ::heart:: C.O.

But I betcha they wouldn't have posted THIS little gem.

Twister with Miss Pupps

I think our puppeh might just be the cutest puppeh in the whole wide world.

Puppeh Park!

Here are some photographic highlights from today's trip to the puppeh park with Kels!

See that puddle? Kelsey *tewtally* laid down in that! Luckily, Dad is in the habit of bringing towels with us.

Laurel Canyon dog park

We've been getting kind of tired of our usual dog park, so we decided to try out a new one. There's one off Mulholland, near Laurel Canyon; seemed like that might be an interesting one to try.

First of all, it's quirky because of its location in the hills that separate Studio City and Hollywood. You know you're gonna get an interesting crowd, and we did. There was a fair amount of "industry chatter" going on around us, as well as interesting-looking dog owners. There was a guy there fingerpainting dog portraits, some of which were hung all around the park. This stuff alone made it feel more fun than our usual park in Reseda.

One interesting thing we noticed is that there was ALOT more dog poo in this park. I mean, stunningly so. It was downright gross in places. Not sure why this would be the case in Hollywood, and not in Reseda. We've heard the same is true in Runyon Canyon, which is also in the Hollywood Hills. (Undaunted, we'll try that one next.)

Still, Laurel Canyon park is a nice park, and we'll go back. There was even a little play area for kids!

Kelsey loves the new van!

There's lots of room for her 85 lb. body, and a big giant window for her puppeh noggin!
