Trip to Chicago

Coca and I went to Chicago to celebrate Lula's and Jacki's birthdays. Here's a picture of Lula getting ready to eat her peanut butter cupcakes.



Here are the proud dog-parents:



Bella, Lucy, and Coca had a great time chewing on Lula's special birthday-girl outfit.



Susie and Keith made all of Lula's favorite foods. We enjoyed hotdogs, peanuts, biscuits, mango salad, and deviled eggs. They also sent us home with a doggie bag full of treats. Here's Coca curled up with her new favorite toy:




We stayed with the Lamont Grand-pup-parents' house after the dog party. My Mom is healing well after her surgery, in part because of my Dad's excellent care. My parents took care of Coca while I went to Jacki's 30th birthday party, and then Brad came out to the 'burbs for French Toast on Sunday.

Here's a picture of the other birthday girl Jacki, her husband Mark, and her Mom.



One of the highlights was playing beer-pong in Jacki's parents basement. It was just like junior high and high school, except with beer and almond champagne.

What is this almond champagne of which you speak? Sounds lovely!

We're enjoying the blog very much--keep it up!

I remember getting repeatly killed by you, LL, in ping-pong. I'm enjoying keeping up with you, Scott and Coca. Really like the black background! Keep warm!
