So Mom & Dad got to go up to Flagstaff, Winslow, Payson and we got to go to…. the kennel.
Ok they take good care of us, but there were thunderstorms on Wednesday night and I tore up my bed… I am all good now that we are home, but need a new outside bed.
Dad took some cool shots, see them at: LINK
I like this one:
Well sounds like Dad is making something in the Kitchen so I better go check that out! 
Mom & Dad are going to a Dia De Los Muertos event today (Dia De Los Muertos actually runs Oct 31 - Nov 2) while it sounds morbid, it actually isn’t as it is paying respect and tribute to those who are no longer here (for me in my Dog life.. I can think of our cats, Bix and Chelan).

So today Dad came home and tells us that Sur la Table called him and they have a COMPLIMENTARY PERSONALLY SIGNED book from Giada waiting for him.
This was very cool of them to step up and take care of Dad after the cluster “F” they had in regards to the ticket and the lack of shared information when he called. Dad says he will go to pick it up on Saturday.
So Dad didn’t get to meet Giada today and sign her new book for him….
…….since no one told him that he had to pre-buy a ticket.
(Oh and he called the Kierlan Commons Sur La Table location on Wed to clarify their signing process….)
for the signing today…
Dad told me that Mom & Dad were like # 75 in line when they arrived with their chairs @ 9am …
At 10am Mom held their spot in line and Dad went to get his book and when he asked about the ticket he heard mentioned in the crowd and the Sur la Table bitch behind the counter told him he HAD to have a ticket and they were … guess what…??
S O L D O U T ….
that’s right folks… Dad then told me that the ol’ shit hit the fan at Sur la Table to say the least as he chewed them out for not telling him when he called SPECIFICALLY to find out their process……

Then later Dad got an upset stomach (not related), then got “bit” by Rosendo’s new bird, and to top it off..
the damn Red Sox won’t go away… What a Saturday…
So Mom & Dad went to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phx and really said it was a nice day (but just a bit too windy), went they got home we of course got to go outside and it was much cooler than it has been since… March (maybe…?).
Dad of course took a ton of photos (SEE HERE) and Mom says he got some good ones.
I like this one … a Saguaro wood dog
Apparently Dad was just a little too out of it as he went the wrong direction with the ISO and is a bit UNHAPPY with most of the shots he got from last night latest storm as most of the lightning shots are “blown out”…. guess the lack of sleep from Thursday’s storm caught up with him…
Most were blown out like this:
But managed to get a couple decent ones:
Cool rain shadowing…
By using the Explorer, pulled the tree back towards how it was before… now with many stakings.. with storms expected this weekend… this may just be a temporary fix!
Setting up for the pull
Pulling set up
Getting closer (Thanks to Rex's help!)
Almost like it was...
Mom & Dad went to see Tropic Thunder and they report back that it is a VERY FUNNY movie, but not for the timid or children for sure!
Make sure you see this one as Dad said to give it 2 PAWS UP!!
So Nick & I had to go for baths today (we thought we smelled fine, BTW!) and it was not completely fun! I did OK and Dad seemed to be pleased that I attempted the best I could to be a good dog (I did shake ALL over him several times thou… HA HA HA!!)
Nick was not so happy about the bath and was rather difficult vs. the perfect little angel that I am … ;-P
NO PHOTOS WERE TAKEN, as Dad was (rightfully) afraid to bring it into the See Spot Clean Spa!
