Valentine's Day: Norma Jean Editon

I love Valentine's Day.  I just do.  It's a great excuse to show the people you love how much they mean to you... even your furry friends.

This past weekend I made a stop at The Barking Dog Bakery in OKC.  I wasn't planning to stop, but as I drove down May Avenue their cute Valentine's Day display caught my eye.  The doggy bakery offers homemade doggy treats, Birthday cakes (I'm thinking one is a must for Norma's 5th B-Day celebration in June.  Mark your calendars)  frozen yogurt and....  special Valentine's day treats for your pup.  It is a super cute little spot and I think Norma Jean really enjoys the cookies... I know Norma Jean really enjoys the cookies.

I am also thinking about splurging on a new collar for Norm, and I think Valentine's Day will be the perfect time to do so. I've had a hard time finding cute collars for big dogs, but came across these from My Mascot  and I think they are perfect. And preppy. And pretty.

Happy Valentine's Day to Man's Best Friend. XOXO

Norma Jean

Michael had to do two things when he met me: (1) Sweep me off my feet and make me fall madly in love with him and (2) Sweep Norma off her paws and make her fall madly in love with him.  Well, he accomplished both.  We love him and we think he is pretty great.



This is Norma Jean the day that I got her.  She is my 85 pound golden retriever who I love and adore.  It is pretty safe to say that before I met Michael she was the love of my life!  Now she is “our” dog and we are thankful for her unconditional love and puppy kisses every day.  Yes, I still refer to her as a puppy even though she is four years old and the size of a middle-schooler…
