Houston is getting a small taste of fall... Temps have been cool in the 60s in the morning and shooting up to high 80s in the afternoons. The coming of fall is such a tease. Do I wear long sleeves or short sleeves? Pants or shorts? I guess the correct answer is layers.
We have been enjoying plenty of fall activites and taking advantage of the weather when it is nice out. This past weekend we went to a pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin for carving. I can imagine what it must have looked like to Leila, rows upon rows of pumpkins almost as tall as she is. She loved it, and spent a lot of time carting the baby pumpkins around.
Afterwards we went to the dog park, which explains why she had an outfit change inbetween picking her pumpkin and carving it. Our final result is the best version of a "Happy Jack-o-lantern" we could find. She recognizes when things are "scary" now, so we are keeping everything as happy as can be. Her Mimi kindly brought her a stuffed scarecrow... only it has been banished once Leila deemed it "too scary" LOL. (It was not scary in the slightest, but who are we to argue?)
The dog park down here is amazing and we go as much as we can. Surprisingly, Shrek basically takes off on his own and makes sure each and every tree/fence post in sight is well, claimed. We worried he might have aggression issues, but we have never once had an incident. Our conclusion is that he is a good dog, he just does not like to be threatened while he is on his leash, nor does he like his manhood threatened, if you know what I mean.
Leila loves, LOVES the dog park. She loves to pet the dogs, and throw a ball or stick for them, and loves to see all of the different dogs. This past weekend we saw some dalmatians, which was especially exciting because we just watched the movie 101 Dalmatians (and one had a red collar, like Pongo.) I love to watch the Great Danes, because they are just so amazing to look at. We also saw some dog fights... bad pitties. Probably my least favorite breed. My old boss used to have one, and she had to drug it before having parties at her house. Hmm...
One good shot looking at the camera, thank you Leila!
Cheese!
Hmm, which one should I pick??
I really love this little one!
Actually, I love all these little ones...
Two seconds before they all fell down
Pushing them back to where they belong
The final choice, do they weigh the same? Possibly
Helping carve the pumpkin... Leila is holding a plastic play knife that won't cut anything
Look what we did
The final result, as happy as can be
Blast from the past... Leila's first pumpkin patch @ 2 1/2 months
Last year's pumpkin patch @ 14 months
And this year @ 26 months
