2010 Iowa Football

November 27, 2010

According to Gus, the end of the 2010 Iowa Football season couldn’t come fast enough. The past 12 Saturdays were riddled with anxiety as we watched our beloved Hawkeyes play their 2010 season. Iowa started in the top 10, fell out of after a tough loss, bounced back into the top 10, only to fall […]

Word Whiz Wednesday #3: Husky

November 24, 2010

According to Gus, Husky is a trustworthy and loyal friend. Apparently, he also happens to make a fantastic pillow. Husky was technically the very first stuffed animal we received for Gus. Gus’s dad was given this stuffed animal from one of his elementary students. It was sort of an odd gift to receive, but we […]

Target’s Great Holiday Toy Sale

November 22, 2010

According to Gus, the best part about this Sunday’s Express News was a copy of Target‘s Great Holiday Toy Sale catalog. He’s already perused the catalog from Toys ‘R Us this year and moved on to Target. Aren’t those eyes the sweetest? His expression really looks like a little boy pleading for toys! The toys […]

Outrageous Fortune

November 19, 2010

According to Gus, the only way to finish a long walk at Stone Oak Park is with an Outrageous Fortune finish. For those unlucky souls who haven’t seen the 1987 classic, Outrageous Fortune, do yourself a favor and watch it. Rent it on On Demand, put it in your Netflix queue, find it online, do […]

Word Whiz Wednesday #2: Cobra

November 17, 2010

According to Gus, Cobra is one of his nearest and dearest friends. He also happens to be one of the first presents Gus received. Gus had only been home for a couple of days before he received his first package in the mail. His cousins from Oregon had shipped him all sorts of goodies. A […]

2010 Holiday Gift Ideas: Bad Dog

November 15, 2010

According to Gus, Uncommon Goods is a great site to find, well, uncommon goods. The Uncommon Goods catalog arrived in the mail recently and we quickly found a few dogger items we felt were blog-worthy. The simple illustrations and command clouds in these Bad Dog items are both cute and humorous. They remind us of Gus, who […]

Get Lick’d Pumpkin Dog Cookies

November 13, 2010

According to Gus, eating pumpkin cookies is way more fun than making them. While perusing a bunch of fabulous blogs, we came across Green Your Dogs, an eco-friendly dog blog. Right away, their recipe for DIY Organic Pumpkin Dog Cookies caught our eye. There are only 6 ingredients in this recipe, many items probably already in […]

Elmo

November 12, 2010

According to Gus, red furry monsters are a great way to begin the weekend. Remember when we mentioned how much Gus likes presents? We meant it. He doesn’t care if it’s a Yelp sweatband or a new dog toy, as long as it’s a “present”. We recently dined at Mama’s Cafe and noticed the toy machine […]

Word Whiz Wednesday #1: Go Do It

November 10, 2010

According to Gus, “go do it” is a phrase he’s very familiar with and hears several times a day. We thought it was fitting to kick-off Word Whiz Wednesday with one of the first phrases Gus mastered. In 2005, when we decided it was time to add a dogger to our little family of two, we were […]

Yelp Elite Event

November 8, 2010

According to Gus, he loves when his parents go to an event and bring him back a present. There are not many things Gus loves more than presents, and even the mere mention of the word sends him into a crazed frenzy. We know it’s unhealthy for him to get so anxious and excited, but […]
