Brutus Bone Broth Puppy Party

Good Morning my Peeps!!

We have a quick little blog post today about a delightful "new to us" product we got to sample.  When I say we, I mean the dogs we, not the people we.

I had a little email from Tryazon about this and thought, I know some pups that would enjoy that delightful treat and it just so happened to fall on a weekend that we would have our Granddog Penny in the house too!    Penny just celebrated her 10th birthday so it seemed only fitting that we have a little taste testing. 

Of course, Tryazon always sends lovely party packages so here's a little peek at what came for our little party. 

Of course they also shipped a big package of the Hip & Joint Beef Broth and the Skin & Coat Vegetable Broth.  Those were delivered directly from WalMart, so you can definitely pick up some goodies for your fur babies while you are picking up the human groceries.   I looked over the Brutus site prior to signing up for the party just to make sure the products looked like something I would give my dogs.  I appreciate that they offer chicken-less options as we've found both dogs are profoundly better when removing chicken from their diets.     

So here are the goodies all laid out and ready for the dogs to have some fun.

As you can see we got a cute little silicone tray that we can pour the broth into and freeze for some special summertime treats and in Texas, those are very much appreciated!   There was also a little recipe card to make a couple of different dog treats, some cups for the pups to test out the broth, some festive napkins and decorations along with some fun collar attachments that light up and blink.   Reggie will be getting one of those when he travels to the deer lease with the Hubster.   He loves going up to run and explore in the wide open.   Penny and Court often take walks in the evening so it'll be nice for them to have a little something extra that lights up for safety.   

 The pups (minus little Rouxby Sue because she's a wee too young for the broth yet, and she was taking her afternoon nap) lapped their broth right up.  Even Penny, who is bit of a picky eater and of course, Reggie, who'll eat anything and everything, sucked his down in a flash.  

Here's Court our resident dog whisperer getting the doggies to sit in order to get the pup cups of broth.

And here our the pups enjoying their little treats!

Penny got to take some home because we're all thrilled when we find something for our big girl that she enjoys.   

Then, as usual, we had to snap a pic of everyone with the pups, you know so Brutus and Tryazon are aware that we shared our goodies.

It was a fun addition to our holiday weekend and we'd like to thank Brutus Broth and Tryazon for giving the pups and extra special treat to enjoy.  

That's all for now, Merry EVERYTHING peeps!!

She's Baaackk!!

Hey Peeps!!

Did you think I forgot you?  Well, no way could I do that, I just get distracted.  You know, start a million things finish none.   Speaking of things not finished, you guessed it, the bathroom!  

Hence the reason you have not been updated as I'm pretty sure you're tired of seeing the pictures and wondering if they are actually any different.   

Anywho, much busyness is happening today and I know I'll have updated pics tonight so I figured I better catch you up.

Let's jump all the way back to June 4 where I last left you.   (Don't worry, I don't have 14 days of pics stored up)

Flooring started going in and we were definitely excited to see this start to happen.

By June 6 we looked like this.

But the shower looked like this

like only half of the hell portal was still open.

Technically, the hell portal would be on the floor not the ceiling but you catch my drift.  The creepy factor is still there but hey, you can't see into the attic any longer so that's progress!

The water closet is still missing the toilette but it has floors!

We left the house on Saturday the 7th while Francisco was working away and came home to find that he had the entire floor grouted. 

Floor inside the bathroom door area.

Close up of the tile and once again, I know the lighting is bad but it's a pretty good look at the tile. 

Long view of the bathroom

AND 

the portal has been sealed.

The pencil trim around the outside of the shower is installed.

The lower niche is tiled now

and the final trim out of the seat is complete.

We should let that man work alone more often, he got after it today!

Let's jump ahead to Wednesday the 11th and see what happened.

Leo started taping off because painting is about to commnece.

Protecting those new floors for sure.

Merebear and Court came in on Friday so the workers got a nice weekend off and we got to sleep in and just generally enjoy ourselves.   

For some reason I didn't take any pictures after they finished painting, probably because I was trying to clear up some of this 

and this

So poor Merebear could use her bathroom and sleep in her bed.

She very graciously used her bathroom as it was but we did get the entire bed cleaned off so she had a place to sleep.    Since no one worked over the weekend we just piled it all in our master bedroom and then moved it all back Sunday evening after Mere headed back home.  

Here is a pic of my closet and the infamous "boob" lights.  I cannot be the only one who calls them that because HELLOOOOO they look like boobs on the ceiling.  (I know, I know, now it's all you can see)

Hubster only had one in his closet and I have two so it REALLY looks like boobs!

Hubster already changed his out during lunch today with an LED fixture that's summoning the aliens it's so bright.   I'm getting some little rose gold crystal numbers later this evening, hence the reason I showed you this pic.   Also, now you too shall refer to these as boob lights.

And then yesterday after Leo left the house I realized he did this too.

He got the hardware installed on the cabinets. They are quite lovely and this my friends is how you find yourself realizing you are old because I was so tickled with the hardware and the soft close hinges on the cabinets that I was proclaiming to everyone to feel them at how good they feel in your hand when opening. Seriously, I used to be a fun person and now I'm overjoyed by cabinet handles.  Everything is painted too but I failed to take any pictures but I shall show you those tomorrow along with all the other little things that got completed today.

There you have it my friends, you are all caught up.

Francisco should be back today to grout the shower and the plumbers have been busy bees today as well. 

With a hopeful heart I tell you that we are allegedly going to wrap this party up this week! 

They have to come back next week and install our new front doors and then we'll bid our ever faithful contractors adieu until we are ready for another project.

I can't wait to see what they're doing down there today so I'll see you tomorrow with all the news that is the news!!

Peace, Love, and Boob Lights!
