Weekend Wag: Fall Is in the Air

Hey readers, sorry I have been MIA for the last forever, I blame pregnancy :) What are you up to this beautiful weekend?  Today it feels like Fall, finally.  It is only like 70 degrees F outside which is such a treat from our consistent 90 degree weather.  I took Charlie for a long walk today, as I am thinking about doing a half marathon in October, which will make me about 25 weeks along and feeling quite round. So needless to say I need as much training as I can get.  Today wasn't earth shattering long but a nice 3.5 mile walk.

While walking I noticed the first signs of fall in my neighborhood

and giggled with excitement and ran home and decorated my house. I now have my homemade wheat wreath on the door (see how I made it here), pumpkins on the porch and table, and a creepy looking witch outside. A little premature some may say, yet I say nay.

So is it fall where you live?  Tell me your favorite thing to do with or without your pup in the fall. Maybe Charlie and I will have to go try it out.

Have a great weekend.

Funny Dog Halloween Costumes

Seriously?

Dog Halloween Pumpkins

My mother-in-law sent me these cute photos. I want to make a Charlie and Jack one. Aren't they cute?

Going to School via Scooter

(imagination this scooter red instead of green and you have my scooter. I have all the same nifty features, the windshield and the same cargo box.)

So I found out that I can park my scooter for free on campus if I park it at the bike lock. This is exciting news since a parking pass at school is

1. insanely expensive
2. Not helpful cause all the parking spaces are always taken and way far away from class

So I have been taking my Honda Metropolitan Scooter to school, about a 20 min ride, and yes, Charlie comes too and loves, loves, loves it.

He knows when we are going on the scooter cause when I pull out his dog carrier bag he follows me around the house until I put the bag down for him to get inside. Charlie just climbs on in and lays down--I don't have to force him inside.



I put this on my back, climb on the scooter, put my backpack between my legs and Zoom! off we go.


Yesterday we got caught in a torrential down pour to and from school, so that was a bit awesome.
Have a Great Weekend!

Back To School

I start up the Fall semester of Grad School today. I am taking 12 credits and working towards a degree in Arts Management and a certificate in PR and Marketing.

Charlie will be coming with me to school. I think he loves coming to school cause he just gets to lie there and sleep, but sometimes he gets bored and then he starts barking at me in class and then I get to take him outside and run him. On Mondays I will have 2 classes back to back from 4:30-10 so this will be interesting.

I think when I graduate, Charlie should wear a cap and gown too since he had to attend every class with me and he sat next to me during every homework assignment and comforted me during every test.

Here is Charlie enjoying class last year. Click on picture for full story.
