Nala Turned 7!
Last Friday (and Sunday) we celebrated Nala's 7th birthday! It is hard to believe that we have had her for that long already! She really hasn't seemed to age at all. She is still as playful as ever (when she wants to be)!
Luke was the garbage man!
So we did Nala's present on Friday night, but we didn't sing to her until Sunday...
I was not happy that Wally gave the whole zinger to Nala. That is a lot of chocolate and she is little...well, I was right! Later that day there was a nice 'ol pile of throw up for Wally to clean up!
Happy Birthday Nala Girl!!!

Happy Birthday Nala!
Today, April 15th, is Nala's 5th birthday! This date is better known to others as Tax Day, but as a CPA who doesn't do taxes, we would rather celebrate our dog's birthday :)
Just for fun, here is Nala's Story:
We got Nala in July (or maybe the end of June - I can't remember and don't feel like digging out the paperwork) of 2005. I was living in an apartment in Willowbrook at the time. Wally and I knew that the dog we picked out would be our dog and Wally was going to be moving to the 'burbs with me soon. So we started our dog search at a couple of shelters and gradually were looking. Then, when driving on Ogden Avenue one day, we saw a Happiness is Pets store with a sign that said "Puppies!". We pulled right in! We went in "just to look" of course, but there was this little black furball all curled up in the back of the cage. You couldn't see her face, but the sign said she was a peek-a-poo (pekingese/poodle mix). We had a peek-a-poo when I was little (Ginger) and though she was a little (ok maybe a lot) crabby in her old age, she was a good dog! So right away I wanted to see this one at the store. Another thing that grabbed our attention was that she was on SALE! When asked why, we were told that she was getting too big since she was born in April. Well as soon as the lady said that, I wanted her even more. So we got to play with her and hold her and she was just as sweet and furry as can be...she had this mane that made her look like a lion (hence the name Nala (from the Lion King), although it wasn't quite that easy for us to come up with a name we both agreed on). So we paid for her, went straight to PetSmart and brought her home. And so began the potty training and the fun of being a dog owner. She is our first baby and is definitely a big part of our family. She is the best sale item I ever bought :) (I have to say that I really can't believe that we got Nala at a pet store...you hear some bad things about them. We got very lucky, but I think in the future we will go a different route.)
So here are some pictures and video from Nala's 5th birthday!
Lukey helped Nala open her presents.
A new squeaky toy!
What else is in there???
Some treats!
Givin' Nala a sniff!
I tried to get Luke to say Happy Birthday...
And here is our crazy dog chasing the equally crazy neighbor's dog Buddy.
And some oldies but goodies!
Furry, always smiling Nala - we call this one her school picture :)

Easter Basket #1
Luke received lots of Easter baskets this past weekend, but the Easter Bunny made a special stop in Monee on Friday morning before we headed to LP for the weekend.
He loved his new chair!!!
Nala desperately needed a bath so we got that taken care of before hitting the road - Luke thought it was pretty weird and funny that Nala was in the bathtub and got her hair blowdried!
It was another gorgeous day so we headed outside for some backdoor fun and a little Easter egg hunt of our own.
He was loving going down the slide!
And hanging out in his house - look at that face LOL
