We had a great mini-vacation these past couple days.
I did a lot of shopping with my sister, which believe it or not is very unusual for me, because I typically don’t care for shopping. Somehow when I get together with my sister, the urge to shop overtakes me. Go figure.
Yesterday morning we got up and headed over to the local grocery store to pick up some food for the food pantry, after unpacking it, we headed to a local herb shop. I swear I could have spent half the day there. 🙂
We went back to the house for lunch only to find that all the dogs were stuck in the house because the guys were taking down trees. 🙁
After lunch we ran out to the local co-op. I was in a rush to get back to the house, so I could let the dogs out to run, but we were pleasantly surprised to find them all out and running about when we got home.

Delilah, Tyson, (a Bernese Mountain/Rottweiler/Pitbull mix,) he belongs to a friend of my sister and J.D. my sister’s Jack Russell.
There are some nice logging trails in the area and I wanted to take the dogs walking, but it’s hunting season and I forgot their vests. 🙁
So we walked around the property instead.
The dogs have had a great time, they spent a lot of time outdoors.
Delilah did especially well, for the most part she was off leash the entire weekend.
The weekend was extra special because today is my sister’s birthday and I got to wish her happy birthday in person.
Happy Birthday Laura, I enjoyed our time together this weekend.
What did you do? Anything special?

Wow, that is a lot of dogs – bet they all had a blast!
Looks like everyone had a great time! There isn’t much better than a few dogs and some big outdoor space to be off leash.
The dogs are ALL so gorgeous. I just want to say for the record that (YIKES!) Bandit is NOT a dog. I don’t care what anybody says. He’s a cute little bunny with a dog face. I wish I could lick him!
Hugs and cuddles,
Cupcake
What a fabulous time. Happy Birthday to your sister.
My dogs went with me while I did my Christmas shopping…on the internet.
What a fantastic dog pack!!! Sounds like you had a great time and I can tell by the photos that the dogs did! 🙂
Happy Birthday to your sister. Sounds like the dogs got enough exercise, (and with friends!). I’d love to have 11 acres to run our dogs.
Happy Birthday to your sis!!
Looks like all the dogs had a great time and you rock Delilah, such a good girl 🙂
Looks like you have had a really lovely weekend!
Happy Birthday to your sister! How nice that you got to celebrate it with her!
We mostly stayed home this weekend and did family stuff, it was fun!
Looks like your sister’s birthday was incidental to the dog day out! What a fine bunch of animals.
