happy monday musings

June 25, 2012

happy last Monday in June! Can you believe that?! The first *official* day of summer was a mere 5 days ago and already it feels like the season is flying by.

Speaking of summer, Lucy is not a fan.  She does not like the heat and she has allergies that make her very itchy. We’re working on getting her back to feeling 100% with some allergy meds and fish oil in her food every day to help her skin. But that still doesn’t help a dark dog feel cool in the heat! The only cure for that is getting rid some of that extra fuzz. Behold, the new lucy:

How was your weekend? Do anything fun?

blog awards

June 24, 2012

I don’t normally post on Sunday, but I’ve received two more blog awards recently, and I wanted to give a big thank you and shout out to the blogs who who nominated me.

           

BtweenBlinks gave me the One Lovely Blog Award and Thea Morris of Organized Living Essentials gave me the Illuminating Blogger Award. I honestly hadn’t checked out either of these blogs until they informed me of the awards, but both are definitely worth checking out!

I haven’t found too many new blogs since my link list from the Versatile Blogging Award / Leibster Award post, so if you’re jonesin’ for some more good reads, head over there and check out those links!

Enjoy the rest of your evening and I’ll be back soon with my typical Monday Musings!
