See, it really is a wonderful life!

Sorry I've been a bad blogger this month, but it's been busy around our house.  There are three birthdays in this month for our family so lots of singing, cake, and gifts have been passed around and mailed. Two of those birthdays are dog birthdays, one of those is our dog, Ryder. This year was a big year for him, he is out of the terrible two's...he turned three.  So in light of this hopeful change in his chewing habits (my couch to be exact) I made him a birthday cake, seen here:















It was super easy, and healthy for animals and possibly for humans too. He loved it, and we sang happy birthday like the goofy people we are while the dogs stared at us like we were nuts....maybe we are. Regardless, it was a good time had by all, mutt's included. Next year I'm thinking birthday hats are a must.

But all these pup-parties reminded me how lucky I am to have such an amazing family.  I have a wonderful husband who spoils me rotten (much to the chagrin of my father who happily passed me off to him, happy to be rid of the thing that put a dent in his wallet daily)and two amazing pups that are the most loving, affectionate dogs you could ask for, despite the few bad habits (my german shepherd, Midnight ate butter that I had left on the counter last week. It had been months since she did something bad, so I'm assuming she was keeping us on our toes; not letting us get too comfortable). Oh and yes, I have wonderful parents and brothers who would do anything for me at the drop of a hat. Yes I am spoiled and I know it (think of me singing that to the tune of "sexy and I know it"...not dancing around in the spandex animal print) and thats okay with me. I may not have the perfect job, the cleanest house, and the most well behaved mutts but all that doesn't matter when you have such a wonderful life. Everyday I look forward to coming home from work, being showered with love by my dogs. Everyday my husband comes home and me and the dogs shower him with love too. Sometimes, when hubby and I are slowdancing around the living room with dogs poking us and jumping on us wanting some love too, I feel like I'm in this amazing movie that is never going to end. You know, a romcom movie, but just the ending where everyone is undoubtedly the happiest they will ever be. That is my life. And I thank God for it on a daily basis.
