Good evening from Northside.

And it was a very rainy night in Northside…

And on the way home, we saw our first Christmas carnage of the season

Poor Mack.

This morning we dropped Mack off our vet in College Hill…

He’s had a really bad ear infection. He had to be put under so they could clean his ears and while he was under they also surgically trimmed his nails. When we got home, he was really under the weather. I think was still feeling the effects of the anesthetic and the pain medicine. I carried him upstairs and laid him on his new dog bed but he moved and just laid in the middle of the floor for the rest of the night…

Hopefully, he’ll feel better and be back to his old self very soon. πŸ˜€πŸΎβ€οΈ

Our Boxing Day.

Today was Boxing Day. This morning we watched Arsenal draw with Bournemouth in Mikel Arteta’s first match in charge of my favorite club.

After the match, we walked down to Django Western Taco for lunch. I had one of Chef Josh’s amazing fried chicken tacos. We also shared Django’s amazing jerk chicken quesadilla with some Django chips and salsa. And when we were done with lunch, we shared Django’s Belgian chocolate bread pudding…

Everything was really good, as always. But the bread pudding was just incredible. I’ve had a love affair with bread pudding ever since my second hip surgery. We had never tried Django’s bread pudding before. Now I’ll get it every time we eat at Django. Or every time I feel the need some amazing bread pudding.

After we were done at Django, we walked down Hamilton Avenue to Higher Gravity. We hadn’t been to HG in a quick minute. But JJVE gave us a gift card that we thought we would put to use a little bit before the start of the new year while we were still on our holiday break…

The best beer we tried in our taster flight this afternoon was Founders French Toast B@stard Scotch Ale

It was a pretty amazing beer. Very tasty. We watched our Leicester City get thumped by Liverpool. And while we were at HG, we bought our tickets for Higher Gravity’s New Year’s Eve Beer Bash.

Later, the sky was really pretty when we were walking the dogs. It’s not every day you see beautiful night-time clouds…

When we got back from our walk, I put my scarf on Oscar and I think he really liked it because he wore it around until we went upstairs…

And when we got upstairs, we watched some of The Witcher on Netflix. It was a pretty good Boxing Day. πŸ˜€πŸ₯Šβ€οΈ

#TBT Pause for paws.

Milan had his spot on craved on the sofa. He would always crash out in that same exact spot with his pillow and his blankets. That was his spot…

He would lay in his spot on the sofa in the evening until it was time to get up to go lie on the bed for the night. And he had his spot on the bed too.

Always remembering all the good times with the bud dog. πŸ˜€πŸΎπŸ¦•β€οΈ

Happy Christmas Eve Eve!

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! We got up early this morning to get some Biggby Coffee

Genifer has been really liking their Peppermint Mocha Latte with almond milk and I’ve been all about the Cocoa Caramella hot chocolate with a shot of butterscotch. I also a big fan of Biggby’s sausage egg and cheese breakfast bagel sammich on an Asiago bagel. It’s really good stuff all the way around…

After Biggby, we went over to Rookwood Commons to do some last-minute shopping. We were mainly looking for some stuff for the dogs. But all I did was take photos of adorable stuff like these two characters…

How about caramel coffee flavoring in a penguin bottle wearing a winter hat?

Or a larger than life-sized plush penguin…

Oe a Triceratops sleeping bag…

I bought this sugar cookie ix because how cute is that little polar bear serving tray?

I like bears. After shopping, we had lunch at Rusty Bucket so I could get my Chicken Finger BLT. I really like Rusty Bucket and I love that chicken sammich. When we got home, we took the dogs on a walk and then we were pretty lazy…

It was a pretty good Christmas Eve Eve…

And it’s been a really good break so far. πŸ˜€πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸΎβ€οΈ

We take our ball seriously.

This afternoon it was pretty nice out for the beginning of December. And our mostly dirt backyard wasn’t very muddy. So we got to play ball out in our backyard. Mack just loves playing ball in the backyard. We would play ball in our backyard almost every day that it wasn’t raining all throughout the entire summer…

He loves chasing balls around in our backyard. He’s not so good at bringing the ball back to you but he’s pretty good at catching balls. But now that it’s almost winter and it gets dark so early. It’s hard to see the balls to toss them around in the backyard. So I got Mack these glow-in-the-dark balls so that we can play ball in the backyard when it starts to get dark outside…

We take our ball pretty seriously over here. πŸ˜€πŸΆπŸŽΎπŸΎβ€οΈ

Pause for paws.

It’s Advent Calendar season! We got the both of the dogs their own Advent calendars…

I doubt Oscar knows what Advent is, but I know he really likes any sort of treats…

I was going to take photos of him eating his first Advent treat but they were gone too fast. I don’t know that he even chewed them…

Oscar loves his treats. πŸ˜€πŸŽ„πŸΎβ€οΈ

Also, it’s crazy that it’s already December 1st.

Checking in on the OscarCams.

Oscar was sleeping on the sofa. We love seeing what Oscar is up to on the OscarCams. We were all pretty lazy for the rest of the day. πŸ˜€πŸΎπŸ“·β€οΈ

TBT Pause for paws.

I love when this photo of Milan pops up in my Timehop. It looks like an old-timey photo. And he looks like some sort of best friend apparition. Always remembering all the good times with the bud dog. πŸ˜€πŸΎπŸ¦•β€οΈ

Mack from one year ago.

Mack showed up in my Timehop this morning. He’s a pretty good dog. I like him.
And Timehop is pretty fun. πŸ˜€πŸ¦•πŸΎβ€οΈ
