First off, I’d like to wish my husband Tim and dogger co-blogger Zeke a very happy birthday. Yes they were born on the same day. Easy to remember, hey? I love you guys to pieces and hope you both have an awesome day (and I hope you like the tickets I bought for the Hip Hop Broadway musical, because I could sense you wanted to go there).
Awwwww! Zeke was such a cute puppy! And Tim looks so rested before little James came along. #parentingishard
I sense a date night coming on tonight… *leaving to pick out something to wear*
Okay I’m back now.

Don’t forget to give the challengers a round of a-paws and take a bed home for yourself! Bid on the fetching pooch palaces which will be up for auction. 100% of the proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity.

There no restrictions for winning other than the winner must be in Edmonton on the days of the show.
