Puppy's new outfits for the snow

Bojangles sleeping like a human with his body under the covers on his back and his head on the pillow! I took this photo at 4 am after I woke up. This is the norm. He is at our pillow or under the covers completely. What a funny dog!!

The preppy look

Lounging in his green jacket

His new hoodie!
The booties are a little big. We are going to return them for a smaller size. He does hate those so maybe I'll return those altogether.

Winter has come to Utah! :( We had our first snow storm this week unfortunately. Darn early winter. Anyway, one thing we remembered after it snowed, is that poor Bojangles doesn't have fur like most dogs. Yorkies have human hair. This is why they never shed. So to stay warm, Chris and I bought him his first reversable jacket, a hoodie, and some foot booties to keep his paws warm and protected from salty driveways. So we have outfitted him in some new grubs. He hasn't gotten used to the booties just yet. I am not sure he will. He doesn't seem to like them too much. But he loves his jacket. He prances around like a king.

U of U Game & Halloween gets spicy!!

On Saturday, we went to the U of U Game. Go Utes!! I had my first experience of tailgating in the official tailgating lot. It was nuts! So much fun. There was a smorgasbord of food and fun. Here are some photos of that:


The motorized cooler! They sell for around $500.
We had to test it out of course!

This year for Halloween, the theme was... be a rock star from any genre. My girlfriends decided to go as the Spice Girls! We went as far as ordering stuff off of Ebay, spray painting our hair, going to tattoo parlors, painting a shirt-literally, and buying a British flag. It was a blast! Here are a few photos. Hopefully you can tell who Posh, Scary, Baby, Sporty and Ginger are. Chris went as Garth Brooks. He makes a darn cute country singer!

I wish I could cut me out of this photo.

My new pilates reformer

Ahh what an amazing moment when you get something you have longed for for years!! I am so excited. I found a brand new pilates reformer listed in our online ads here in Utah for only $50. This is an incredible deal. Most new reformers can range in price from $300-$3000 plus you have to pay shipping. This is not a top of the line reformer but perfect for what I need. I haven't done pilates in years and so this gets me back into the swing of working out again. Oh how I love my new pilates reformer. They lady selling it was a real ditz and she had no clue what she was selling. I am grateful for this! I snagged it up instantaeously. I have dream boards with a pilates reformer on it dating back from 2006. Crazy how this happened now when I wasn't even thinking about it.... I love when little surprises like this happen!

Bojangles hygiene update

Taking care of Bojangles has become a daily and weekly activity that we find so amusing!! Bojangles is like most dogs, not a big fan of grooming. But we are determined to have him be one of those dogs that smells good and looks good. We give bi-weekly baths, daily grooming and gum/teeth rubbing. I can't say teeth brushing yet. He only licks the toothpaste and lets us put our finger only on his gums. Hopefully soon we will upgrade to brushing! But for now, here is Chris and Bojangles.

He doesn't mind brushing of his hair....

Getting comfortable with his paw on the table....

Bath time! This is my favorite because he gets so sad at first and then after he is done he turns so happy!!
He is quite good once he is in the tub with Chris!
This is hysterical.... Chris bought Bojangles a toy that is supposed to clean your dogs teeth while they play with it. You are supposed to add toothpaste in the middle. The only problem is.... Bojangles doesn't really play with toys. And especially this one! He suspects something is not right and he stays clear away.
Chris getting Bojangles to lick the toothpaste...

Bojangles assessing.....
And Bojangles ultimately deciding no he would not play with this new toy! Ahh we tried.

Our Saturday night

While most of our friends were out on the town, Chris and I enjoyed a night in with Bojangles, 2 rented movies and our new milkshake maker!! How did I enjoy life before this new kitchen gadget! Heaven! I was dancing around the kitchen all night. We made reeces shakes, oreo shakes, rocky road shakes, and rocky road plus cookie dough shakes (my fav!). I found my new gift that I want to give the world. I was seriously thinking whos bday is coming up, who's wedding gift do I need to buy... my mind was spinning in excitement. This evening was after Chris took Bojangles all day up North where he got to play all day with kids and other dogs. Needless to say, Bojangles was exhausted. He nestled up to three pillows and was out. I had to take a photo. He was so cute! And so on my side of the bed which has really made sleeping difficult since he takes up more room than Chris and I combined! Anyway, here are some photos of my new favorite kitchen gadget and Bojangles...

Mister Bojangles!

We have officially named our cute doggie Bojangles. We call him Mister Bojangles along with 2 other nicknames (Bolicious and Bowinkle). But the main name we use is Bojangles. He seems to respond to it and so I got his name tag done today. He is such a good dog!! He has some funny things about him. For one, he likes to sleep under the covers deep down in the bed. I get worried he doesn't get enough oxygen but Chris seems to think he is ok. He also buries his bones that we give him in our couch and behind couch pillows. I love to watch him try to be sneaky. When we get home from work, he greets us with a 7-10 minute hysterical dance. I should record it because we have never seen anything like it. He gets so excited! Way more than any other dog I have seen. We love it! He does this cute yelp that is so funny. A week into owning Bojangles and we don't know how life was like without him. We are so happy he is with us!!
