End of Summer

Without looking at the calender, you'd think it was still summer. Temperatures have been in the 80's, the sun is out and my dog doesn't need his coat. (This piece of clothing is necessary because he has fine hair and is small. I do not condone dressing up my animals as children.)
Sadly, I look at the calender and see that it is October. So, I must post my end of summer pictures.

Last Bees game!

This season went by so fast! This was my last week as a Honeybee this year. Go Bees!






Labor Day

We spent Labor Day enjoying a picnic at the Tibble Fork Reservoir with Brent's parents. It was a perfect day! Griz NEVER goes in the water, but he saw a duck and tried to go after it! We took a drive on the Alpine Scenic Loop to Cascade Springs. Water here flows out of the ground. There is a little path you can walk to see the springs.

Boldly going where no Griz has gone before.




Cascade Springs




Pay no attention to the outfit I am wearing. I was going for comfort.

Meet Grizbee

This is Grizbee.



His story began one Wednesday afternoon when he appeared on the noon show as the pet of the week. He was to be one of the hundreds and hundreds of cats and dogs at the Super Pet Adoption that weekend.



I sent a picture message and jokingly added, "I'm bringing him home". Little did I know I actually would.
I went Friday afternoon to get Griz (Animal services called him Mikey) and fought off half a dozen mom's and teenage boys to get him. I got their first so he was mine!

I put him in the car and drove home.

Griz is a really good dog. He is a 1 year old silky terrier mix. There are a couple of issues we're working on but he's well on his way to being a well-trained pooch... sort-of.



This isn't the first time I've brought home an animal (i.e. the rabbit) and sometimes I still can't believe we're dog owners. It's a really big commitment but how could you not love this face?





His first bath....



And first hair cut...

Our two kitties, Pep and Elle!
They're actually looking at the camera. Amazing.

New addition.....

Meet Olive! or Elle, for short. She's our new kitty! She was only eight weeks old when Brent brought her home. We have another cat, Pep, and the two get along famously. But they can be trouble... like when they knocked over the fish bowl a few days ago... I was not happy.
