Weekend in Reno

Last weekend we dropped Gracie off in Sacramento for a fabulous weekend with her cousin, Ginger (the yellow lab), and we continued on our way to Reno. We saw Daniel Tosh, a great comedian, at the Silver Legacy. He never disappoints. We also enjoyed the crazy Reno buffets and, of course, people watching. We just happen to be there the same weekend as a bowling convention so you can imagine all the interesting people we saw walking around!

Mmmm...Chinese stir fry (above), tacos and crab (below). You gotta love buffets!


Let's just say...most people we saw would not fit in here!

Gracie's Day at the Dog Park

We took Gracie to Point Isabel dog park on Sunday. This was our second time there. The week before the weather was great, probably in the high 80s and all the big dogs were playing fetch in the bay. What a sight! This time it was a little colder but we had fun walking around. Gracie loves to take in ALL the smells! She was so exhausted when we got home that she couldn't keep her eyes open.

Gracie's Amazing Weenie Race

Last weekend was Gracie's weenie race at Golden Gate Fields. We had a blast. Although, Gracie didn't quite make it out of the gate as planned. Unfortunately, the gate didn't open properly because the lady next to me was standing under the lever. The gate opened just enough for little Gracie to wedge her little weenie bod underneath. When she finally got out she got so confused and just ran around back to me. Oh well. We'll try again next year! It was still fun to see all those weenie dogs walking around.

I guess it's never good to be in the first heat. That's where they work out the kinks.

Gracie before her race. She's in the zone.













Keep an eye on the lady to my left.

Gracie sees Nate on the other end with her chewy stick and she's ready to go!

Still in the zone.

She's got her eye on the prize.

Check out the bar hitting the lady in the back! Gracie can't get out of the gate!

She's finally free!

Weenie dog chaos.

Enjoying the horse races.

Trip to Los Angeles

We spent last week in Los Angeles visiting Nate's family. We drove down with Gracie and she got to meet Nate's grandparents new dog (whose a little bigger than Gracie) and my friend, Michelle's, doggy (Lucy). We had a great time. It rained the first two days and then cleared up to the beautiful southern california weather.
