I admit to having some issues regarding the whole aging thing. I think it is mostly because I enjoy life so much I'm not to crazy about the passing of time. I'm also not big on maturity, I may be 39 in body but I'm about 19 in my mind. I think I get sillier and less serious with each passing year, which isn't a bad thing. I was also lucky to have an absolutely fabulous birthday weekend. I had a delicious breakfast at Tops Diner Saturday morning
and then we went to the The New Brusnswick Kennel club dog show to see the Toy Group breeds. I wore my Mischief Made me 1950s style dog tee since it seemed appropriate for the show.
The pugs and poodles where shown in the afternoon so we missed them. Though we did see plenty of pugs in pens outside the breeder's RVs.
The best part was we got to see the Chihuahuas which is a breed I'm very interested in owning one day and the main reason I attend the show. The Chihuahua breeders and fanciers where lovely and let us attend their meeting, they where all members of the Central NJ Chihuahua club. They were so kind and gave us lots of information about the breed. The accepted show size is 6 lbs and under and the good breeders breed to get dogs in about the 3 to 6 lb range. So tiny, but some unscrupulous people try for much smaller, crazy! The main breeder we met also rescues large dogs and she recommended a dog 4 lbs or bigger for us when the time comes which I agree with. It was wonderful to see breeders who love their breed so much and are really working to better it. We also met the most adorable 4 month old puppy. I was completely in love.
On Sunday we mostly stayed home with the dogs and cat's and I got my birthday present. 49 vintage Star Trek novels John found on ebay! How awesome is that!
My favorite part was that someone named B.H. had owned some of the books and took notes and recorded ratings. He or she gave several books 10 ++ ratings so I guess they are good.
I also found these two 1970s school pictures in one of the books, perhaps one of them is the elusive B.H.?
Weasley is the first dog I got after starting blogging and it really reminds me of why I love blogging so much when I see the record of wonderful memories I have. I almost can't read his welcome home post on my old blog Urban Hounds because I get so emotional seeing it, and really emotional seeing him with Tubby and Norbert. Then I remember how incredibly lucky I am to share my life with these amazing creatures! I'm truly blessed. Five is certainly not old, but it's not exactly young either, and Weasley is now definitely a man pug!
Sadly the weather on Saturday and Sunday really didn't cooperate, cold, cold, cold! So we couldn't go on any outings. Instead Weasley enjoyed opening presents at home
He also got a cake. I wasn't too happy about the pink frosting but it was the only one they had. Weasley didn't seem to mind.
Five is off to a good start we are hoping Weasley has a fabulous year!
Where did the time go! Anyway, Mr. Tuvok had a great time opening presents on his 2nd birthday, as did his pug brothers who seemed to think it was there birthday too.
Since Tuvok's birthday is in November we gave him gifts with a Thanksgiving theme. The best was the beautiful sweater from Pug notes, Melissa did an amazing job again.
He also got a set of cute Thanksgiving bandannas
and a Tyler talking turkey from multipet.
Sadly, Tyler Turkey is already no more. He survived all of four hours before a post bath Weasley and Fry tore him to bits. Despite Tyler Turkeys unfortunate demise, Tuvok seemed to enjoy his birthday, though he didn't love the party collar he is wearing in these photos.
He loved the burger from White Castle for his birthday cake, but there are no photos because for the 2nd time my Samsung Galaxy 6 overheated for no reason and had to be wiped. I really don't like this phone but am stuck with it because of a contract. I just purchased a digital camera with wi-fi from Amazon for blog photos and I'm hoping that will work better and improve the photo quality on the blog, which I do think is lacking.
