I’m not sure if anyone would agree, but this felt like the longest week ever. I can’t even believe that a week ago today, I was headed to Cummings, GA to see my brother and his family. I got there around dinner time to see my four favorite people (and one cute dog-cousin) sitting on the porch waiting to welcome me into their home for a jam-packed weekend. We spent the next couple of days eating lots of good food, seeing animals at the zoo, having drawing contests, running up the road to get ice cream and also a visit to the local fish hatchery for a little fishing. I was so sad when Sunday came along and it was time to head back to the Carolinas. Good thing, I have another trip planned to head back in October for my nephew’s sixth birthday.
Here’s a few favorite pictures from my GA weekend. Enjoy and have a super weekend!

Thanks to everyone who entered the Yenithing contest. I asked my husband to pick a number and he said lucky number 7, which is Magda! Congrats Magda. Be on the look out for an email from me real soon.
Here’s a peek of what I got into this past weekend. Hope to post some more pictures from my Cummings, GA adventure later this week.

Last week, Project HALO headed to uptown Charlotte, NC at the Wachovia Center for their monthly adoption event. This was my first time shooting indoors in a corporate setting and it was great to see such a great turn out of available owners!
The best news from the day, one pup named Charlie, found a new home.
Here are a few other pictures from the event. Don’t forget to head over to Birkdale Village in Huntersville this weekend for another adoption event from 11:30am-1:30pm near the Starbucks.
Here’s Darla – or Dar Dar – she’s such a pretty girl with the cutest spots on her legs.
Here’s Vinnie – or Mini Vinnie! He’s such a sweet boy.

This was the fastest week ever. I think I blinked and poof, it’s Friday. So to finish off the week, I thought what would better than a contest? (Well, maybe a big tub of Ben and Jerry’s) My wonderful friend Julie is the creator of this awesome product called Yenithing. It’s a apron that covers you while bathing your pet or even your little ones. Trust me, if you are ever in a bathroom with a baby or dog in a tub full of water, you will get wet. They should put up a warning sign, like they do at amusement parks for the water rides.
So to celebrate Friday, I am giving away a Yenithing.
I really love this product and can’t imagine any home without one. For more information about this product, feel free to visit www.yenithing.com.
To enter the contest, leave a comment about how you plan to use the Yenithing should you win it, before noon EST on Wednesday August 19th. A winner will be randomly selected and announced next Friday. You can enter once for every time you post about this contest such as Twitter, Facebook or on your blog. Good luck and have a great weekend!

To get back into blogging on a regular basis and also to share a little of what goes on in my life, I thought I would share some of my favorite things. We could all use more good news or just fun pics, so here’s where you’ll find them.
This week I thought I would start out with my two favorite things, our dogs. I often refer to them as our mis-matched bookends, due to the size and personality they carry. We have a Yorkie and a Boxer. One is six and the other is three years old. One is 14 lbs. and the other is 63 lbs. One has a huge diva personality and the other is what we call the biggest love-bug ever. One is named after a movie star and the other an NBA team. They both love treats, belly rubs and sneaking into our bed in the middle of the night. They are also the best greeters when we come home at night. And last but not least, they both have nubs as tails that wag when they are happy.
To add, my other favorite thing is that it is FRIDAY! I love this day of the week, because that means the weekend is about to start. That means time to head to the dog park and also cuddle time on the couch. Hope you guys have a great weekend.

Last but not least is Precious. This black Lab mix loves adventure. Her pal is Roxy who has been featured on here before – they are totally BFF (best friends forever). She is such a character too. I found her a couple of times hanging out in one of the volunteer’s chairs. I love when big dogs think they are small pups.
More dogs and also some adoption stories coming soon!

Everyone flocks towards Punky. She is cute, she is little and she is FULL of energy. She lives up to being a puppy in every way possible. She is a beagle mix and you might remember seeing her head as a sneak peek a while back. Here are some more pictures of her from the adoption event.
Her little mouth is so a-dor-able!
I swear she is smiling in the one above – she is such a happy dog.
Just try and say no to that face – I double dog dare you.

There was lots of good news this week and I can’t seem to blog fast enough about all of it. Project HALO has adopted off dogs left and right. I can’t even begin to say how much that warms my heart, actually my soul. So please keep coming to events if you have room in your homes for a new furry friend or even volunteer your time. I promise that there is nothing like the feeling of giving back to helpless animals.
There is a Project HALO event today if you can join.
Time: 11:30am – 1:30pm, Location: Wachovia Atrium Street: 301 South Tryon Street, City/Town: Charlotte, NC
Here’s a pic of some of the wonderful volunteers with Project HALO from the last adoption event. Laura and her hubs not only volunteer their time at events, but they were also the foster parents for Nugget. Notice I said were the foster parents – Nugget is headed to a new home for a overnight trial – so cross those paws that it is a forever home for this great pup. Thanks to everyone at Project HALO for everything you do and your wonderful volunteers.
p.s. Special thanks goes out to Laura’s husband who makes Fluffy look so manly!
