The world's coolest paddleboarding dog.

While on vacation in Duck, NC, I seriously missed Banjo and Millie. They've never been to the beach and I wanted to bring them along, but our rental property didn't allow pets. So in their absence (don't worry, they were having fun at the grandparents') I got my fix by watching this amazing dog go paddleboarding. I know how much Banjo hates water, but I can't help but wonder if Millie would have tried it with me. The world may never know.

I think she hates me. But boy, does she rock the madras well.

Meet Rita & Rosie

This is Rita and Rosie. I got to watch them this weekend while their Mom and Dad were out of town. They're awesome dogs and I thought you should get to see their smiling faces too. How cute are they? Seriously.

All Smiles at Cape May Brewing Company

On vacation here in Cape May, and we are all smiles. That includes this beautiful little cocker spaniel named Lacy, who also seems to be enjoying the brewery as much as we are. I'm amazed how in a room full of people I always manage to find myself in the corner with a canine.

No, I absolutely was not snuggling this here hippo.

I must indeed have the luck of the Irish, because I'm not sure life gets much better than this.
