Mexican Bark-festa!

So Aunt Brittany came over and we tried out a new recipe! Actually two... now in the end we decided that the two would be better off separate (lots of bread... but we will get to that!) they where both AMAZING! Deff a repeat meal :)
So the meal was Southwest Chicken wrap and southwestern egg roll. We also tried out another first: shopping at the Piggly Wiggly. It was a fun experience, we liked it, but they didn't have a very big selection in Asian food... so we couldn't do the egg rolls with egg roll wraps, we compromised and rolled out cresent rolls.. this is why there was a lot of bread. But anywhos! So we got all the ingredients and went to town! It was fun cooking up a storm.
With the new house up and running we should be doing this a lot! We also started a new tradition... well not new but we are bringing back an old one. We sit on the porch before dinner, get a chance to get a good head scratch, catch up on the day, have refreshments. Our water is always cooold and good. The tall ones always have cans or classes or red or clear stuff. Whenever they drink it they go "ahhhh thats good". So strange these parents.  







 So finally it was all ready and it tasted great! We decided that the egg rolls might be nice as an appetizer and the wrap would be good all by its lonesome. What a great meal! Like we said, it will be repeated!
We are looking forward to a visit from our Gigi (thats our grandma). She comes in tomorrow to help mommy "decorate". In my opinion having the pictures on the floor is the BEST! We can see them better that way, and we like to put nose marks all over them. We think it adds a bit of character, don't you? Well thats all for now! Time to go and chase all these pesky squirrels and chipmunks that are invading our territory! CHARGE!
Catch you later!

Long time no bark!!

Ok..... so life has been CRAZY! We bought a HOUSE! You should see the back yard... ITS HUGE! So when the house was bought it wasn't exactly ready to rest our rumps... So we had to work extra hard to get things moving. Daddy is gone to Florida for work so we only worked on the weekends. We knocked out walls, replaced carpet, put in hardwoods and repainted EVERYTHING! Wish we could say mom and dad did it but really we all know.. without all our barking and sniffing nothing would get done. :)
So now we are alllll moved in! Our beds and bones are here and we are LOVING it. Things couldn't be better! We even had a play date with an old friend, Sadie. Mommy says she is going to start using her brand new kitchen and put it to good use... no more take out here! We will let you know how well she does... Well gotta get back to getting to know the neighbors! They are super loud but we enjoy the communication we have. Nothing beats a good bark fest! Catch you later!

Flop and trot

Well today mom tried a new recipe from Pinterest. It was supposed to be garlic and brown sugar glazed chicken and zucchini fries. Sounds scrumptious? Well... It was a bbbuuuussst! This food is NOT for the dogs... We wouldn't eat it! The only good thing is the zucchini was crispy, but using the flour to make it crispy changed the taste... We will stick with our dog food thank you very much.
On a better note our marathon training is going good! Mom is training is and we are training mom to have patience. We stop at every post, bush, flower... You get the picture. It all smells so good!!! But we set a goal and not only did we make it, we went even further! Ohhh yea we are good.
Catch you later!

Puppy love

Love is in the air! Mom and dad celebrated valentines... Whatever that is. All I know is mom brought home a ton of candy and she says candy will make us sick... Anyways. She did make a yummy desert. We couldn't have any but from the looks of it it had to be delicious. It was mini strawberry pies. So good and so yummy! The rest of the dinner was good to. Dad even made bruschetta! We tried to sneak a lick but we got caught... Next time!

Home at last

Well it's official!... Kind of. Mom and Dad say that there is still a lot of "paper work" left to do... whatever that is... All we know is when we are left home alone, we eat paper... But the official part is we found a home! WHOOP! Some man is going to inspect the home and make sure everything works tomorrow. We heard that we close in April but that does not mean we will be living there. A lot of work is going to be done to the house... new floors, knocking down a wall, building a deck! FUN! Then we move... and we HATE moving... all the boxes and packing and unpacking... what a back ace! We work so hard to! HA!
In other news mom told us she is running a 1/2 marathon! Thats a looong ways... to long for us... we get tired after only a mile... but we will all get in shape together! Always fun! She is actually running two marathons. First one is Sept. 1st in Virginia Beach. The next one is in November in Savannah! Cool stuff. I don't think we can run the race with her, but we will get her in shape for it anyways!
A new house and a first time 1/2 marathon! LOTS of new stuff coming our way! I think we can deal. We just go with the flow, as long as there are bones somewhere along the way :)

Let the Thunder Roll

Well today was a productive day. Although the storms kept us in all day we did hear that Mom and Dad might have found a home! They continue to tell us the yard is "As big as Texas". We have never been to Texas but I am assuming that means big! There is talk of a sun room, basement, and even a movie room! I think if this house works out we will be happy romping around. With all the thunder and lighting today it was nice when they came home and we all got to snuggle on the couch. When the big booms came we both hid under the blankets! SO LOUD! We will keep you posted on the new for the house.
Mom has been a Pintrist fanatic this week. I even think she is going to try out some new recipes! More to come on that too! YUM
Catch you later

For the Squirrels

This is my first time blogging and I wanted to share the "tails" of my two pups; Max and Aubie. Max came first when we where in college and Aubie followed a few months before we got married. The two where meant for each other and are like "Two Peas in a Pod". Max actually found Aubie and we couldn't resist adding Aubie to our family. They have been BFF ever since!

Max grew up in Auburn and Atlanta and Aubie was just the ATL city dog. After a year the pups where picked up and moved to good ol' B'ham! And this is where our adventure begins!!!

Well this place is better than the last itsy bitsy place we had before... Went from ATL to a single bedroom one bath apartment in B'ham. The move didn't make Mom and Dad to happy.... but we are all coping. NOW we are in a nice place! Good yard, nice sunny spot on the couch, but we hear the talk and the talk to we are moving... AGAIN!
That's all Mom and Dad talk about... house this house that. We even heard we where buying a house, guess that didn't work out. So back to square one... the search. They keep telling us that we are going to move into a better place. HUGE backyard and all the perks :) We will be the Kings of that castle too! Well to be continued tomorrow... maybe Mom and Dad will find our new dog house? We will see!
Catch you Later!
