Special Days...

The last couple of days have been busy and full of fun.

I did, however, neglect to wish my Mom a "public" Happy Birthday on Friday, but did get to spend a fun evening with her, Pops, Hubby and Bear, enjoying a very nice buffet dinner and some gambling at one of our favorite local casinos. (It would have only been better if one of us would have won a jackpot, but you can't have it all, right?)

Happy Birthday Mom!
Also on Friday, I took Jack for his first visit to the VA Hospital. You may remember that his first ever first visit was a little shaky, with his whining and constant looking for Hubby and Kona. This time we went by ourselves and met up with the visit captain, and another Love on a Leash member, and Jack was much better behaved. He whined very little (only when he thought I was spending too much time chatting with someone and he was ready to move on...) and seemed to be enjoying himself. I was happy with his behavior and will keep working at it with him. Although he's not the "natural" that Kona is, I believe he has good potential.

Yesterday we spent the entire day at the "Loews Coronado Surf Dog Competition" in nearby Imperial Beach. It was a blast, and I have a TON of pictures to post from the day, but for now I will leave you with a tease of things to come. This picture is of Jill and was taken by a photographer for the San Diego Union Tribune, K.C. Alfred. It's one of my favorites ever!

And last, but not least, Happy Father's Day! I hope all of the Dads out there have a wonderful day, full of whatever they want to do! We haven't quite decided what exactly we are going to do today, and we are leaving it up to Hubby's to decide. We started off with a great big family breakfast which we all thoroughly enjoyed, and Hubby, being the awesome guy that he is, decided that today was the only time he had to fix a little leak "issue" in our back bathroom, so...here it is Father's Day, and he is working on putting a new wax ring on our toilet. Yup, exactly what I'm sure every father wants to be doing today. Hubby is leaving for a business trip for a week, and didn't want to leave the "issue" unattended, so he's doing it today. What a guy!

It's been a tradition of ours in the past to spend the day at the Fair on Father's Day, but after our experience on Tuesday, I think we'll pass this year. We might go see a movie, AJ might take Hubby to hit a bucket of golf balls....who knows. Today, whatever Hubby wants, Hubby gets. We'll be spending the evening with my Pops and Mom too, of course. Having a good meal, and spending time together...sounds like the best plan to me. I hope you all enjoy your day!
