This place is lacking some adorable.

It’s an oldie, but a goodie. I miss my little, fluffy pup. She’s so big now!

Two weeks from today, I visit the Land of the Mouse. Two straight weeks of work and 3 days off (including weekends) and I get to take a break from Chicago, a break from my family and unfortunately, a break from my baby puppies. I can’t even lie, I’m really looking forward to it. A week of sun, roller coasters and Disney magic with my favorite boy and his family. I’m counting down the days until Tuesday because then he comes home from four days in Las Vegas with the boys. I miss him like crazy!

This weekend was lovely. I seen Sex and the City with Jenn. I thought it was good, I wasn’t to thrilled with Jennifer Hudson’s story line, I thought it was pretty cheesy and irrelevant. Saturday was a gorgeous day in Chicago and we hung out around Millennium Park and ate some ice cream. Strawberry, thank you very much! And yes, I’m aware I look like a chipmunk so shut up.

This week I will be treating myself to a haircut which is ridiculously overdue. Bangs are in. I made an appointment last week and will be sticking to it despite my hair anxiety. I just have to keep reminding myself how even more fabulous my hair will look once it is done.

I need to get some pre-Florida vacation shopping done before I leave too. Shorts? They are the devil. My thighs curse the day you were born. I hate hate hate shorts but I’m not trying to walk around in 100 degree weather wearing jeans. I guess I will have to make it up to myself by buying some Marc Jacobs sunglasses. Thighs can’t hate me if my face is in Marc Jacobs, right?

Since I know everyone was keeping track, I am on Season 6 Part One, Disc 3 of my Sex and the City bible.

Because I love her, you get an Edie picture too. I know she is all over this blog but she’s adorable and I can’t help it!

We have the plastic turtle in my yard. For what reason, I’m not too sure, it’s there though. This turtle is just one of the many, many things that makes Edie flip her shit. The lawnmower, a leaf, the parked car, a potted plant, you existing….the list goes on

All out war -

(Yes, the video is pixelated, I’m working on it. No, that hand does not belong to me, it’s my sister.)

Kimmy was a little wary of Edie today. I think she is jealous William was giving my pup some attention.

She’s obviously had enough puppy for the day!

Edie went to the dog park for the first time today. It was pretty chilly when we got there so not many pups were out. There was a black lab and a boxer there when got there and, of course, my sissy dog was scared. We played at the opposite end of the dog run because she was kind of overwhelmed. Hopefully next week will be nicer and we can make a trip to Wicker Park dog park.

Almost.

My little pup will be 5 months old next week. I can’t even believe it. It feels like I have had her forever! She’s getting huge. Last night, my sister and I had her out front in the grass and she was eating grass and gnawing on dandelions. Her legs are so short that you can barely tell she is standing up in the tall grass. She is still the other dog, Buttercup’s shadow and follows her closely. She tries herding us and my other dogs. I eventually would really like to get Edie into a agility class because I think she would have an blast. She  runs around the yard and driveway at full speed, dashing under and around the cars and stuff in yard. She’s pretty hilarious. When she gets excited, she tries to wag her tail but she doesn’t really have one, so it’s more of a butt wiggle. She loves boyfriend so much and freaks out when she sees him. We are going to take her to a dog park, hopefully, sometime this week. Also, we are going to try to have a play date with his beagle. I’m hoping they like each other! Enough rambling…on to the cute!

As you all know, I spoil my little corgi puppy rotten. I just can’t help it, she is adorable! She finally grew out of her first pink rhinestoned (YES, I am that girl) leash and collar a few weeks ago, so it was time to look for another. After trying not to buy out all of etsy’s leash and collars, I settled on this adorable one.

Some of you mentioned how stylish Edie’s leash was in the pictures I posted last weekend. It’s true, I might have the most fashionable pup in all of Chicago. Edie’s leash and collar (close up photo) are from 3POOCHYS on Etsy. It was made custom for my little pupperoo. They even sent me a little button hair tie covered in the same fabric so Edie and I can match! I see me buying more in the future because a pup has got to have variety!
