Weekend–But really I’m just excited for The Bachelorette

Because I went to the dentist Friday afternoon and had sore gums for the rest of the evening {blog post on that to come}, I thought it would be best to take it easy this weekend and just relax. That said, it wasn’t the most eventful of weekends. But, I do have a few pictures to share with you!

Never in my life did I ever think I’d wear Vans shoes after the 1990’s. But, they’re all the rage in Utah so I’m trying to jump on the fad bandwagon… but failing miserably. I think this is the second time I’ve ever worn them.

P.S. Is there anywhere good to thrift in the Salt Lake City area? Because everywhere I’ve gone has pretty much been a flop.

I’m sure you’d be very surprised {sarcasm} to read that a portion of my weekend was spent at The Humane Society. I know, I know. Look at this little guy named Ted. He’s a brown-haired cairn terrier and let me just tell you this… I LOVE cairn terriers! I’ve gone back and forth about if I got a little dog, what kind it would be. Pomeranian? Cairn terrier? Mini Australian Shepherd? In case this dog looks familiar, he probably reminds you of Toto from The Wizard of Oz. That’s because Toto was a cairn terrier! Look at that little face!! He is going to be a great “watch dog” for someone :) He loves to just be on the look-out!

I don’t know what it is about Rottweilers but I’ve always had a fascination with them. Okay, I think it might be because of the Carl books. Did anyone else read those growing up??

Carl was a sweet, little dog in the books. While I know life isn’t like what we read or see on TV, this Rottweiler/lab mix named Bubba was definitely a sweetie. He loved playing catch and The Humane Society claims he knows a lot of his commands. Hmm… maybe he was just a little rusty with “sit.”

The good news is that the number of dogs at The Humane Society has decreased these past couple weeks. In fact, I’ve never seen it so bare before! I’m hoping this means, not only is the number of adoptions going up, but the number of homeless pets is going down too!

Oh, and I also watched The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All {and could not get enough of the hilarious bloopers!} Which means… THE FINALE IS TONIGHT!! Who do you want Ashley to say “yes” to? I’m hoping for JP. While I wouldn’t be upset with Ben because it seems like she has a great connection with both of the guys, the love and camaraderie just really seems to be there between Ashley and JP :) We shall see!!

How was your weekend? How did you enjoy your last weekend of July? Scary, right??
