Hello everyone, I hope you had a great holiday weekend!
While thinking about this post, I swore that I would not make it all about my fur nephew, who I got to spend 4.25 glorious days with at my bro and SIL’s house, but seriously, I cannot promise that because he is the cutest-thing-in-the-entire-world-and-oh-my-gosh-I-love-him-so-much-more-now.
I may or may not have teared up when I got his Christmas card (written in his voice through my SIL.) Yes, a card from a dog made me tear up because it was so cute. Here’s what it said,
“Aunt Jess, I’m so happy to have you staying with me for these days. I have love checks for cashing and cuddling and making out to do. Love, your fur nephew, Steve.” (apparently he’s a reader of this blog!)
And now it’s time for some holiday fur love!
Steve wearing his antler hat – so festive
Steve playing hide and seek – apparently he got tired of Auntie Jess taking so many pictures of him
I promise to stop talking about him after this but the CUTEST thing he did this weekend (which is tough to narrow down), was Saturday night before bed, when I happened to open the door and see him standing outside of it. Once it was open enough, he walked in, sat down and licked my face when I leaned in to give him a few scratches. After the kisses, he walked out and went back in to my bro’s room. He just came over to give me kisses. OMG I COULD NOT HANDLE THE CUTENESS.
I may have also teared up when I got home to my own puppy-less apartment because I missed him (and my bro and SIL). Ugh, my heart strings are being pulled!
While I was not gushing on my fur nephew, I was also stuffing my face with delicious holiday treats. Yes, I just blogged about losing 12 pounds and then stuffed my face. But I had good reason, one being that my SIL made cake balls (similar to Bakerella’s infamous cake pops).
We had a mix of chocolate and funfetti with melted dark/white chocolate. Seriously, they made for an amazing breakfast, lunch and dinner. And then an unamazing tummy ache. Back to the gym I go!
How was your holiday weekend?
Movie review: I have one more to post this week! 127 Hours with hottie James Franco.
I want a dachshund so bad, but we already have two huskies and it just isn’t workable right now. So I am saving my money and waiting until the day when I can have one.
Just saw your post. Cake Pops pretty much made my entire NYE (and following few days)!
He IS adorable!
No one understands love for animals like pet owners (or pet aunts). I have a little bunny who I love so much that I think my life may depend on hers. Your fur nephew is adorable.
It took me a bit to figure out what SIL meant, but then I re-read the post and got it. I feel smart! Glad you had a good holiday time!
it’s all about the cake balls. I’m seeing them everywhere
I think Steve and Mia should go on a doggy date….they’d make a cute couple! :)
Dachshunds are the best with giving kisses! I get a make-out session every time I come home from my dog. ;) Steve is adorable!
I love fur babies… i talk about mine all the time, so I don’t mind hearing about your super cute fur nephew!
adorable! the pet card is the cutest thing ever! and those cake balls in funfetti. omg i need to make some of those! sounds like a great christmas :)
Ok, how have I never had cake on a stick before?
Pet Christmas cards are such a good idea. I might need to do that, except that I don’t even send cards from myself. BUT STILL!
Sounds like a wonderful holiday! Steve is such a cute little guy! I’ve never had cake pops but I keep hearing about their goodness. I may have to try them one of these days.
