A few weeks ago Chicklet and Frasier participated in a Happy Trails walk through Little Italy with One Tail at a Time. Even though it was a scorcher that day and neither pup could make it through the entire walk, it was fun nonetheless. And the best part? They may be featured on 190 North on July 15. Here are a few photos, courtesy of Bernadette from Pet Impressions:)

I’m happy to have a day off in the middle of the week and am looking forward to spending the day in the sun. Unfortunately our day had been planned around riding our bikes, complete with a new basket that Chicklet had just gotten used to riding around in. But this morning when we woke up, we discovered that our bikes had been stolen. Even though our bikes were locked up, the lock had been cut and discarded to the side. A hard lesson to learn: even if you lock it up, bikes belong inside. Funnily enough, I feel more upset about losing the basket because it was bought specifically for the purposes of taking Chicklet along on rides; in a way it was her basket and who steals something from a dog? Ah well, Happy Fourth of July!

Is anyone out there looking to add a pup to their home? I found out about this adorable girl named Honey who is looking for a new home, and based on what her current owners say about her, she sounds like a gem. If you’re interested feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll get you the contact info ASAP:)
:I am a charming and playful lab/shepherd mix with big floppy ears.
:I am 2 1/2 years old, spayed, micro-chipped and up to date with my shots and vaccinations (records available).
:My Mommy & Daddy are expecting a baby, and they can’t afford me anymore. They are very sad and want me to have a good home forever.
:I have a high energy level and love to play.
:I am better with older kids and a fenced yard where I can run.
:I am potty trained to go outside, know all basic commands and I graduated from PetSmart obedience class!
:I am very good at hide and seek (with bones and toys), and I am especially skilled at catching flies and spiders!
:I am very social and do well with other dogs. Cats may fear my curiosity!
:Outside I think I’m a hunting dog; inside I’m very playful and will curl up in your lap and go to sleep.
Please take me home. I can’t wait to be with you always!

This past weekend the temperatures were sweltering and Chicklet somehow managed to eat an entire muffin wrapper (she’s doing fine!), but it was filled with fun too. Josh and I finally managed to check out Holstein Park (for its 100-year celebration) and discovered a fantastic free pool. On Sunday we enjoyed the weather, complete with a 20-mile bike ride with my dad; good thing I pooped out near the end – it was so hard to wake up this morning:)
[can’t wait to try this pool out! it’s just a short bike ride away from the apartment.]
[there were more food trucks in one place than i’ve ever seen, all celebrating the 100-year celebration.]
[we made it back from our bike ride juuust in time!]
[and somehow it was back to this later in the evening.]
