wooster needs a home.

growing up, my family always had a family dog ... a pet who was another member of the family. i never really, truly loved a puppy the way i love my sweet conor, though. since he came into my life, i have a new-found appreciation for these special members of society and the s.p.c.a has become more important to me. it is such a wonderful organization looking out for the well-being of animals. animals who rely on humans and can't always help themselves.

right now, wooster is looking for a home. he is such a sweet guy. can you be his happily ever after?

project 365: january 02, 2011.

i have never before attempted project 365. i follow several blogs who participate in the project, however, and decided to give it a shot {no pun intended} this year. i may not always share here, but i love this picture of mr. conor {even if his eyes are closing}.

conor's first portrait in 2011.

national dog day!

in honor of national dog day {today}, i wanted to share some all too cute finds for the puppy loves in your life.

i recently discovered martha stewart's pet line at petsmart. i. love. it. i already told travis i know exactly what conor is getting for christmas this year. my favorite is the red and blue combination. i will absolutely be getting the doggie bed and the red/blue leash and collar for him. i also really like the crocheted pet toys and the all too precious terry cloth bath robe!


happy national dog day to you and your puppy loves.

puppy love.

i took this picture directly from the brides of oklahoma, we love pets! post. i just had to pass these sweet faces on to you!


i wish i could take credit for this precious arrangement of puppy pals, but the credit goes to the brides of oklahoma and the talented photographers who took the pictures: from left to right, top: artworks tulsa photography, angela cornell photography; from left to right, bottom: chris humphrey photography, beautiful day images (middle and far right photo).

if you are anything like me, your puppy (or other pet) is more like family than a pet. my maltese, conor, is even more like my child than just a member of the family!

what about you? do you have pets? will you incorporate them in your wedding day? how do you plan to train them for the special day?
