Days 460 & 461: Promenade

Today was a rather perfect day as far as normal days go. (Especially since I woke up damn grumpy.) My mom and I took the dogs in to the promenade and Arlington Park during the late morning. We met the cutest kids who were out with their grandma for one of the boy's 7th birthdays. They loved the dogs and wanted to know if we could spend the day with them (since we clearly came with the dogs). And their grandma was wearing a 2008 Race for the Cure shirt! Then it was mother-daughter shoe shopping for new sneakers. (A 5k tends to murder your old walking shoes...) And to end the day, I got to make the house smell amazing by baking fresh dog biscuits.

Today, I am grateful for:
* gorgeous weather.
* new sneakers. (I've been doing dog walks and memory/awareness walks in my 8th grade basketball shoes. I'm so glad those can just be my Humane Society shoes.)
* Lauren's recommendation of a good dog biscuit cook book. The dogs love them, and I'm so glad I know they're safe for them.
* School Pride. Seriously. That show makes me smile and cry all at the same time.
* Em including me in her wedding planning. It really is an honor to have someone want my input on such a special day.
