Day #143: A visitor

This weekend - Sarah and I puppy sat.  One our co-residents has a 6-9 month (i don't remember when she got the dog) old Yorkie.  It's name is Bailey and it's a boy.  I constantly call it "she" though because it's a puffy little dog that looks like a girl and has a girl name.
For the weekend we called it, Bob.

Bob had a wonderful girls weekend with us!

Introducing Bailey (or Bob)!

 Ride up to Mount Lemmon for a hike!

Adventure Bob on hike!

Will jump off this log onto the ground, but cries when he goes upstairs, because he won't walk down the steps.

Group photo.  Can you count all the dogs?  

Bob is hard to see in the middle.  Buster tuckered out first and got put in Mutt Mover.

All wieners were carried at one point in Mutt Mover or their mama's arms, but puppy Bob/Bailey made it the WHOLE hike.

Status post - hike!  

Hanging out with the big dogs!  

Sunning themselves in the morning.

Day #138: kick my butt yoga

I went to a power yoga class today. Umm...let's just say my knees shook for over half the class.

Day #137: sundress season

Day #136: decisions decisions

I went with the Junebug!

Day #135: Comfort

An old pair of jeans.
With holes and wear. Not from the manufacturer, but from me.
And now that darn hole at the knee my foot keeps getting caught in every time I step into them that it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Shh...don't tell my mom. She'll make me throw them away!

Day #134: cactus summer

It's starting to feel like summer.
It's amazing how after the winter the temperature gets to the mid 90s and it feels like its scorching hot. I always wonder (and by always I mean last year and this year - haha) how am
I going to survive summer?
Well - lots of sun dresses and not being outside much is one way. Another is I check the temp in Phoenix which is usually about 5 degrees warmer.
It was nearing 105 today! I walked the dogs to the mailbox in the heat and they did fine - or maybe that's why they were running so fast. ;)
So here's a close up of a cactus to make you think of summer.
