Sharon Montrose is amazing at capturing the personality and joy of dogs. This is only a few of my favorites, check out her website for more!

I love how it looks like Raleigh is looking down at all of his dog friends…hehe

Raleigh the Model

Capturing your pet on film can be pretty difficult, especially when your pet is known as ‘The Crazy One’ and tends to think the camera is just another treat you are offering him.

Well on the day I was taking photos of the new room, stars aligned and I was able to capture some good shots of Raleigh.

Raleigh Turns One!!!

We don’t know the EXACT date, but based on getting him around 9 weeks old, we estimated Raleigh’s birthday to be May 15th. He blew out the candle on his doggie cupcake (with yogurt frosting) and got a new toy which is now known as his ‘Birthday Buddy’.

If you have a dog that rips through stuffed toys in 20 minutes, I highly recommend the “Go Dog” brand of toys. Yes, they are more expensive, but they have a chew guard technology that makes it a lot more difficult to rip open the seems, and provides hours of entertainment!

You can find where they are sold near you here.

We just love him so much!! Here’s to another great year!

They pull my heart strings

Our baby is all legs…and ears!

New Shoes from Target

As much as I hate to admit it, my little darling puppy has now ruined two pairs of shoes. The first were an ooold tan pair from Payless and now a wine-colored pair from Target. I decided to hit up Target to see if I could find some replacements (who doesn’t love an excuse for shoe shopping).

I purchased two pairs - a black wedge peep toe and a nude pump. I’m really happy with both, I will just have to keep them FAR away from you know who!

I think this wedge looks a little cuter in person, but really I bought it because it is practical. I know that for work, I tend to throw on comfortable shoes so I knew these would get a lot of use. But I think they’ll look cute with jeans too, for a little bit of height.

This pump is sold out online, so I was lucky to find my size at the store! I think it’s so cute!!

I also spotted these sandals in the store. They come in teal, yellow, purple, brown and black. The only size they had left was size 5. That was probably a good thing because I wanted a pair in every color!

Because it has been a while…

Since the last Raleigh post! This is one of my favorite pictures of him, he is so little here!! I can’t wait to take him back to the lake and watch him play in the water. Spring is just around the corner!

Things I Love

I’ve decided to devote the month of February to things I love! I fall more in love with this little guy every day, so I think he’s the perfect way to kick it off!
