The morning after

I had a lovely Independence Day that involved swimming, treats and a photo shoot. About the treats: I know that I shouldn’t be eating chocolate because of all the hysteria surrounding dogs and chocolate, but sometimes you’ve got to live a little. And it was a holiday. So I tried a nibble of my first brownie. WOW that was good.


Also, I’ve been vanity shopping again. This house is full of Labrador paraphernalia, and I understand that. It’s been all Labs, all the time, for more than 30 years. But I’m here now, and it’s time for Bedlington gear. While the family was at Chops for dinner last night, I hopped on the computer and found these great keepsake boxes that can have pictures of me, or pictures that look kind of like me. Thing is, I’m not sure if getting Mom one of these is the same as “shitting up the house.” So I left her credit card alone … for now.
