This past weekend...

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

Before you read about the Valentine's events, let's quickly talk about the snow we had on Friday....it was beautiful, and you betcha---we let Tucker play in it! He of course, thought it was something you could pick up (like a leaf) with your mouth, run with it, and eat it!
It didn't bother him one bit!
Before the snow, Tucker and I "slaved" over a hot stove making Mike some muffins...we wanted to surprise him at work...you'll learn more about the muffin symbolism in a bit...
We kept it low-key this Valentine's Day...we went to Mike's sister's house for a family cookout and then came home to see our little boy. When we first got Tucker, I started calling him, "my little muffin." Why you might say? Well, I guess because I knew he was from English descent, and of course, there are English mufins...so he quickly became my little English muffin. So, now we call him Muffin...he answers to it just as he answers to his name.

Ever since I got my February issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray, I decided I wanted to make Tucker the Pooch Pupcakes for Valentine's...they're pet-friendly, and people-friendly too.
Both of my boys like them...they each got a clean-plate award!

I am pretty sure he is looking for more pupcakes...

My two boys...I love you both!

random smile for the day...

This afternoon, I did some cleaning while Tucker supervised (chased the broom, sniffed like crazy when I sprayed Scrubbing Bubbles, played in the piles I swept up)...needless to say, he had a great time and it did make me smile while cleaning...

I guess when hanging our coats I didn't even think twice about hanging his vest with our coats by the door...so, later when I went in the laundry room, I just smiled at this sight...it was too sweet to not take a picture...just more proof that he is treated like a human...

(sshhhh...don't tell him he's a dog!)
