<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"the wag", as we call it, is the woodford wag, a cross country 5K race and 2K dog walk. all proceeds benefit the homeless animals of the woodford humane society. there are prizes awarded for top finishers and canine contest winners.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">we are entering our third year, and it's a really fun event. each year more people participate, and it's nice seeing the same faces (both dogs and dog owners). the dog contests are so cute to watch. we have a dog logo look-alike where some dogs are pre-selected to enter by a committee member or entered by the owners who think the dog fancies our logo. then by audience applause, the winner is chosen. my favorite contest is the tail wagging contest. here, dogs show off their tail waggin' skills. of course, last year, i entered my bauer and his coiled sharpei/chow/shepherd tail. and also joined in was bentley and his fringed finger-like tail. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">mattie missed the entire thing. she was asleep on the sidelines.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">neither won, but that's okay. of course, i told them that they are winners in my book. plus, they had the cute outfits that their mama made (one of the benefits of being the committee's designer and logo creator).</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i had been wanting to try it for a while, and i had physical therapy today, so when i asked if she wanted to grab a quick bite before pt since she worked nearby, she mentioned sav's. mary kate's birthday was on sunday, so it was time to celebrate with food, of course, as that is the only way me and my crew celebrate. and like most twins, we had perfect timing. we ended up walking up the corner at the same time. eerie, i know.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">when things were great, he made it even better by shoving his happy grin face in yours. he was the eternal optimist, rarely in a pissy mood, although got a little shorter fused as he grew older. other than his neuroses, he was perfect. he loved to play. we have this purple ball that he used to pounce, jumping up more fast and furious than vin diesel, and slicker than jackie chan. he was this big fluffy thing with the skinniest q-tip legs. i used to say he was wearing white tube socks. he looked like cotton candy.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i miss the quiet, dead silent times with lex too. he was always focused on you with those most innocent eyes (one was blue). i think the only time he wouldn't really look at me was at the very end. i think about that day too. then kleenex pallet heartbreak sets in. and when you were sad, lex was the one who came up and just sat beside to comfort and soothe you.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">since lex has been on my mind, i've felt a need to be closer to my bauey. guess the comfort is that i feel a connection to lex when bauer and i are enjoying a peaceful moment. i know he misses lex more than any of us. lex was the one who welcomed him into our home and was an excellent helper in raising baby bauer. they were perfect playmates since toto was more of a loner, and mattie is a sleeper. i loved watching them run around and chase one another. it was a real circus.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">older bauer doesn't like to play much, and pretty much sits in "his room" (the sunroom) on his papasan. nowadays, i let him up as my cuddle bear when i'm on the chaise in the sunroom. i remember when he was just 8 pounds, and now he's close to 80. still has that puppy face though, and he still can't help falling asleep when he hears that certain cello cd that i played when i would leave for work when he was a puppy.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">yes, lex is in a better place with toto, and their other dog friends. but selfishly, i just wish he were here with me instead. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i love you lexy, and miss you so much.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">if you haven't heard of pinterest yet, <i>i</i> don't hate ya, but <i>you</i> may hate <i>me</i> after you check it out. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in fact, i take full responsibility for my buddy-buddy frehn lou's obsession to pinterest. i warned her when i introduced her to this fun site, but she didn't listen. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">as the name says, you basically are pinning your interests. pinterest is a virtual bulletin board of all of your internet musings. you create a profile and numerous custom boards that pins/links to the images you find on the Web. it's great, not only for putting your own ideas and looks together, but also for discovering never-thought-of-that/how-do-you-do-that crafts, or party planning decorating tips. i even found a quote on someone's board that may be my next tattoo! i simply adore the vast amount of marvelous photography and artwork others pin. after a while you may notice you are loving pins from the same pinner, so you can "follow" them. there are categories galore, so you are bound to find one for you!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> it's definitely visually overloading at times, but i just can't get enough. the only thing i found irritatingly time-consuming is that there isn't an easy way {or at least i haven't found it} to move multiple pinned items from one board to another all at once. i started out with just some basic boards, but found i wanted more specific ones. so i had to start moving things from one board to a new board...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">one at a time</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. would be nice to have a little checkbox by each pin so you can select as many as you want and either delete or move multiples all at once. i feel better that i've got everything more organized, even though it </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">was a quite a bit of a hassle. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but i still love you long time, pinterest. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>{mwah!}</i></span><br />
