Pet Blessing

Father Wilfredo Contreras of St. Martha’s Catholic Church blesses Coco, a mini dachshund owned by Erica Gutierrez Saturday, Oct. 3, 2015, at the church in Miami Shores, Fla., during a pet blessing ceremony in honor of St. Francis.

I went to a pet blessing this weekend. Met some wonderful people and Pixel finally got those angel wings of hers blessed. Though she thought hiding under my chair was a better option!

Dachshund Winterfest 2015

The Dachshund Winterfest is one of my favorite things to do every January. WeeGee loves to go see his Dachshund buddies since I normally make him hang out with the cocker crew. Here are a few photos from our day.

Sweet Julia

This is the lovely Julia, Pixel’s sister. Isn’t she just precious? Julia and her parents were very sweet to open their home to us when we went to Alabama for a memorial service. Thanks again for letting us stay. We had a wonderful time.
