If there was ever any doubt...

The Queen rules this castle! Queen Lola, that is. Don't think a 3.5 lb. Maltipoo can reign over a 55 lb. Hound and a 160 lb. Dane??? Take a look at who gets the bone in the end - and to classical music, no less! Turn your volume up.

Try to ignore the poor quality of the video -
the cameraman is an amateur.

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Rot... A Problem This Time of Year!

My Mom and I were trying to figure out the best way to keep our newly carved pumpkins from rotting. Of course, when in doubt - google it! I found this site that posts science projects. Click here to find the best way to keep your pumpkins from rotting before Halloween! Unfortunately, for those of you that left yours in the rain, like me, we're already behind!

Happy Halloween - F2D STYLE

Mom came over this weekend to help us carve our pumpkins. We've decorated for Halloween - Frogs to Dogs style!

It's A Girl!

Our friends, Andrea and Nathan Rice, had a sweet baby girl last Thursday. Here's what everyone wants to know:

Jocelyn Laraine Rice

Born October 11, 2007

8 lbs 10 oz

21 1/2 inches long

I have known Andrea since we were babies, ourselves, making her my oldest friend! She was in my wedding as an Honor Attendent and most of the wedding party loved on Elisa, Andrea's first daughter, during the wedding weekend. Now, Andrea and Nathan live in rural Pennsylvania (Amish Town) leading not 1, but 2 Lutheran churches! Check out their blog anytime - Adventures in an Amish Paradise - under our favorite links (to the left)!

We are so happy for the Rice Family! We will pray Jocelyn stays healthy and starts counting PA sheep early in life!

Frogs to Dogs = Fun Times

When Andrew decided to leave his corporate job in June, we were both nervous, but incredibly excited about the prospect of him doing "his own thang" full time. Well, turns out, the timing couldn't have been any more perfect. Since June, the growth of Frogs to Dogs has been on an insane upswing. He's hired 2 new pet sitters - and even employed a couple close friends for part-time work. F2D has begun group training classes behind Kirkwood Feed & Seed. We are currently holding our second class and the third begins in late October. Private training continues to be in high demand, as well, since we employ the REAL dog whisperer, Zsolt!

The success of Andrew's business has been a lot of work, but a ton of fun. AND his newfound freedom (from Corporate America) has allowed for many more weekday lunches with his lovely wife! :-)
