Friday Favorites | Duke and Trixie with a Dog Food Recipe.

Hey Hey Friday! I hope everyone had a great week and ready for a FUN weekend!! I am sharing all about Duke and Trixie today plus how I make their dog food! 


Friday Favorites

Hello Friday! We have had a good weekend! I finally feel like we are getting in our 'back to school' routine!! 

As usually on Friday's, I am going to share some of our FAVORITES with you!! 

Watching the Olympics has most definitely been a favorite around here!! 

It was awesome getting to watch the swim team bring home the GOLD! 


Golf started yesterday morning and I found my guys laying in bed watching it before work and school! Ben played against Bubba Watson in college, so its really cool getting to watch him in the Olympics!! 



Curling up with me on the couch after everyone has gone to bed and watching TV or reading is one of Duke's FAVORITE things to do!! Such a "ruff" life!


Spending Tuesday afternoons with this kid while Ella is at guitar lessons is a FAVORITE for sure!! This week we enjoyed our FAVORITE drinks!! 


I shared with you guys at the beginning of our summer break that we were "classroom sitting" Squeaky for the summer...well guess who is now a permeant resident!!

Leopard is my FAVORITE;) 
She has grown on me and I find myself talking to her in the mornings and at night when I turn her light on and off!! 
Am I the only one who talks to reptiles?? HAHA 


I worked on a few new goodies for my Etsy shop this week!! 
Trying to get a jump start on Fall/Halloween items!! 

Think this would work??


Loved this custom order! But could everyday be 'Wine Wednesday' HA


And I am just gearing up for football season around here! I can't sell these guys since the image is a registered trademark....but it doesn't stop me from having cute wine glasses for myself this football season!! :) This was my FAVORITE creation this week!! #godawgs


The PTO is sponsoring movie night tonight at Ella's school, so since I am the PTO president I went to Sam's yesterday to stock up on all the snacks and drinks to sell!! These events are a lot of hard work! but seeing the kids having fun and developing relationships outside of school is a FAVORITE for sure!! 



After Sam's I had a lunch date with one of my FAVORITE people, Talia!! It took forever to get our food, so we grabbed a quick selfie as we were walking to our cars so she wouldn't be late getting back to work.  Our eyes are half shut! HA but time and conversations with her will always be a FAVORITE!! 


When I checked the mail yesterday, I had HAPPY MAIL! A new Georgia headband from Angie over at Angecansew These nonslip headbands are my FAVORITE and it's my FAVORITE team!! You should check out her IG! 


If you have been reading my blog for a few months now then you know that my blogger friend Johannah and I started a recipe club a few months ago! Well look at this awesome new graphic that Johannah created for our recipe club!! It is about the cutest thing I have ever seen! I hope you will join us Wednesday, August 17th and share a FAVORITE recipe!! 



Hope you guys have had a great week and have big plans this weekend!!

Show and Tell Tuesday {Pets}

Today I am linking up with Andrea 


We are talking about Pets-{Past and Present}

Ben and I closed on our house August 15, 2003 and got our first dog August 18th, 2003~ Got married September 20th, 2003

Tazy Bramlett won the hearts of our whole family and many friends!! 
Tazy was a  loyal, kind, caring, lovable PUG you have ever met in your life! 
He loved us with all his heart! We had Tazy for 10.5 years and NOT one day goes by that I don't miss him! 

This is him the day we lost our "first child"

His knees were giving out. He was going to need a knee replacement, but it was the arthritis that covered his hips that the vet couldn't help:( 

He loved Arby's Big Montana's....So he got the whole sandwich this day!! 


It is still hard to look at this picture and not cry! 
He was 9 weeks old the day we got him!! 
We lost him March 24th, 2014:( 

Since I have tons of pictures of Tazy in my actual scrapbooks, I am going to focus this post on our current pup! 

About 6 months before we lost our sweet Tazy...this guy squirmed his way into our hearts! 

DUKE

I mean look at those EARS!! 
Duke is a long haired blue merle chihuahua! So he has one blue eye and one brown eye!! 

He was our neighbors dog...but he was no dumbie! He knew the "sucker" (aka: me) that lived next door would love on him, feed him "real" food, hold him, etc! So when they decided that they didn't want a dog anymore....guess who they asked?!?!?! ME! Duke became a "Bramlett" in September 2013

He has been my car pool buddy and side kick ever since! 


The day he lost his "man card" ;)



You can usually find him here
Curled up in my lap!!


You can see his 2 different color eyes in this picture!!


He enjoys chilling on the boat! 



A Boy and his dog! :)


He is even a good sport when his sister dresses him up in her baby doll clothes!! 


He has a really "ruff" life around here! 
So exhausted he can't even make it out of his bed!! HA


Like I said my carpool buddy!! 


He loves going on walks but he HATES his leash! 


He is my 8 lbs of LOVE and I wouldn't trade him for the world!! 


He loves staying with Granddaddy if we are going to be gone for long periods of time! Mike will send me pictures of him!! 

I mean...it's just awful to be Duke!! ....NOT



Here is the most recent picture of our rotten pup!

Saturday night on the way home from Grandma's! 


We love our sweet Duke! We can't wait to enjoy many more years with him! 
His Birthday is January 11th, 2013

I can't wait to see your pets! I am such a dog lover! 

xoxo, Heather
