Five by five.

The powers that be at Grey Midwest thought it would be fun for everyone on the GMW creative team to share a 5×5 presentation about what they’ve been doing at home during the pandemic quarantine when they aren’t working. A 5×5 is five slides in five minutes. Each slide is supposed to be about a different topic.

Five slides felt kinda restrictive so I made this little iMovie instead…

This was my first experience with iMovie. And I think it turned out pretty okay. ๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŽฅโค๏ธ

Pause for paws.

Oscar was just hanging out in the office with me this morning. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

Afternoon in our backyard.

It was so gorgeous outside this afternoon. The weather tablet in our office said it was an unseasonably warm 87ยบ outside…

Oscar’s groomer was deemed non-essential when the closed all the Ohio businesses. He’s gotten so shaggy over the six weeks. And you could tell lately he’s just been really warm and uncomfortable…

So this afternoon we tried to give Oscar a haircut…

I’ve cut my hair twice so far during the stay home. It’s turned out pretty nice both times.
I thought, “How hard could it be to cut Oscar’s hair?”

It turns out that cutting Oscar’s hair is a lot harder…

I didn’t do a very good job. At all…

Dang. Sorry, buddy. I have a new respect for the amazing job Lauren at VCA College Hill does with Oscar.

Later, we fired up the grill again…

Those burgers were just out of this world. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŒญโค๏ธ

UPDATE: Oscar’s groomer has started to take appointments again starting May 13th and he has an appointment for Friday, May 15th. So he won’t have to be uncomfortable for much longer and maybe she can even out the mess I made of his coat.

COVID-19 Carryout: Second Place.

We noticed on Instagramย that Second Place has started selling their delicious bourbon slushes to go. So you know we had to get a couple of slushies…

I think they repainted the building next to Second Place…

And The Littlefield was open for carry-out as well…

And we sat out in our backyard and enjoyed our slushes…

Hopefully this mess will start to look better very soon…

And Oscar hopes so too…

What a great way to send a Friday evening. Ugly or not, I love our backyard. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿก๐Ÿปโค๏ธ

Just hanging out again.

Oscar was hanging out with me in our office again this afternoon…

He loves sitting on the arm of the sofa and looking out the window…

He’s so dang cute. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

#TBT Pause for paws.

Milan used to love walking over to Fido Field in downtown Cincinnati. When it was walk time, he’d just sit and stare at you…

And then he’d walk with you through P&G Gardens down to Lytle Park and then start pulling until he got to Fido Field. And he would be so happy…

He loved going up by the fenceline…

He’d wait for cars to come around the corner of Gilbert and he’d race them down the fenceline. And he’d beat a lot of them. He was so fast…

Always remembering all the good times with the bud dog. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

Good evening from Northside.

Tonight was another Cincinnati social Front Porch Pours. The last time we were at the grocery, we got this bag of Malibu Rum Punch for tonight…

The dogs got to hang out with us on our front porch too…

When we were done with our drinks, we took the dogs for a walk around the block…

Good evening from Northside. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿน๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒ„โค๏ธ

Pause for paws.

Oscar was laying out in the sun all afternoon on our back patio. ๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŒžโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

Good afternoon from Northside.

It was in the mid 60s and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky this afternoon. It was just a really gorgeous afternoon in Northside…

It was so nice out during our walk around the block that Oscar laid down in the grass…

I hope there are many more days like this in our near future. ๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŒ„๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

Pause for paws.

During the day, Mack stays with me in the office. But I let Oscar roam around our second floor. He’ll hang out in the office for a bit. And then he’ll wander down the hall to our front bedroom and hang out in there. I’ll peek to see what he’s doing every now and then. Most of the time, he’s laying on his dog bed…

He’s so dang cute. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿพโค๏ธ
