Celebrating New Year's Eve

Mark, LiLi & Jessica went with me to First Night in Saratoga......I think(not so sure it was the 17th one for me).

We began our night getting LiLi a bracelet to get in the venues & a treasure map.
We took her to get her face painted but she "declined"
We took a bus ride to the next venue

This guy was amazing making bubbles

One of the beautiful decorated windows
Of course we had to stop to get kettle korn.....yummo!

Next stop was to visit the alpacas

They are so cute
Mark bought himself a hat made of alpaca yarn....he wore it right away with the tag on & got caught up in the christmas lights.  That cute lady rescued him with her scissors.
By now LiLi was getting tired & not feeling good
She ended the night with a carousel ride.
Jessie & I went to a couple more venues one of which was this beautiful church where they had a "Sweet Adeline" group

We ended the night with most amazing fireworks

  1. I think Molly is part Alpaca. Looks like a lovely night and I hope LiLi is feeling better now.

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
