Doggyride Friday

Daisy and I went out for a bike ride this morning. We explored the residential areas around our community. There were some cute quiet little neighborhoods. We even waved to all the elderly sitting out on their rockers as we passed by the assisted living home. (I couldnt help to notice that their rockers were pointing to the west just like the song says). There was also a beautiful neighborhood estates just across the way. Any cavaliers out there??

A successful pawty

Wow! What a turnout! What wonderful friends we have here in Chicago! Daisy had the time of her life playing with all of you today!

Thank you for all your generous gifts, treats (both human & dog). The presence of each of you was such a wonderful gift! We are so thankful!

Thanks for sending us off in style! In the coming week after we settle in some, we'll be posting pics from the Bon Voyage Meet-up & what not.

Keep in touch!

After a long couple days of packing, the movers finally came thursday... There's still carloads to skim through.. Ahhh. We got an invite from our red carpet friends Julia & Cookie to join them for the PAWS Benefit Beach Party held at North Ave Castaways. It was perfect timing and well worth the moving effort to take a few hours and party with the girls!

These dogs have class!

Daisy takes a break from packing to kick it with Stella at the park wednesday morning.

Moving Day

Today's Moving Day... The moving company will be picking up all our furniture and driving it south. Brandon's already in South Carolina working this week. Mom and I will drive down with Daisy after her Bon Voyage party.

It's been an exhausting week both physically and emotionally. The packing seems never-ending and the stacks of boxes are over-flowing. To keep things feeling homey, we've made open paths for Daisy. Spent any downtime keeping her company playing games like seek and find. Daisy's getting pretty good at it, too! I pick out a toy, show her, and have her sit and stay while I hide it. She's so cute the way she jumps out of the gate in search of Skunky, big purple bone, or sock monkey (etc.). Next trick to put all her toys away?? Hehe

We'll be staying in the "Hamptons" for the remainder of the weekend. Daisy loves it here aparents house' house. She really makes herself at home in the lazy boy chairs or the front porch furniture. She's the queen of the place!

We're looking forward to Sunday's party. It's bittersweet; excited to enjoy everyone's company, but bummed that we have to leave such a wonderful group of humans and cavaliers. We'll keep in touch though as we'll be home for holidays, etc. and Dausy will make new friends(and hopefully many more cavaliers) in SC.
