I Hope You Don't Mind...

She may not be an angel, but she is that to me.

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Thanks to Bernie Taupin for the words and Elton John for the music...I couldn't have said it better if I tried.  

Here's to many more magical moments with the Red Dog...bring on Summer!

Tiki Top Open for Business!

As some of you know, our recent obsession with the Red Dog-inspired outdoor living space at our humble abode is taking shape.  To that end, we hosted two young human fans (niece and great-niece!) last night for the inaugural Tiki Top* Southern Appalachian Backyard Beach Bar/Beer Garden/Somewhat Vegetarian Grill Bonfire & Slumber Party.  Twigs were burned, marshmallows were roasted and fireflies were chased, and a few choice scenes were captured on digital:

Hey Shiva's Mom, nice touch with the candles!

Snoopy in the background, guarding his Tiki turf.

I couldn't replicate the awesomeness of this photo if I tried.

Looks inviting, no?

Debra and her juvenile photobomber.

The high price of sugar!

Maybe Romance Night at Tiki Top in the near future?

We promise to return our focus to Shiva and the fight against canine cancer soon, so please bear with us as we indulge this new bright spot in our lives.  Come over and sit a spell!
