The Million Dollar Dog: Halo Austin

Well, well, well. After I decided to redecorate the house with various items from Ikea and Target, Lois had another fence incident which ended up costing me a lot of money that I just don't have. This dog.

Here she is Tuesday afternoon after her little paw surgery. 7 stitches. Anaesthetics. Bandages. Antibiotics. Elizabethan Collar rental. The list (and the beat) goes on.

Look at her doped up eyes. She was like a stuffed animal, i had to pick her up and carry her around the house. I was not amused and from the look of it, neither was Lois.
Lois...
I feel like a pretty bad dog mom. This is the 2nd time that we have gone through this If this was a real child, she would have been taken away to the orphanage.

Dark and Lovely Ladies Night Out

The three M's were out on the prowl on Friday night. We started the evening with a delicious dinner at Touch. I had the lamb ravioli. YUM!
We then went to a few different bars, including my favorite bar Great Lakes Brewery. Unfortunately, being that we were in Cleveland, we were basically the only people out. Every place we went was pretty chilled out.

Then we decided that in order to make this ladies night complete, we needed to mix in some drag queens, techno music and cherry flavored vomit. So we went to the local gay bar and danced the night away with Ongina and her friends.

As usual, this was the end result. faces smushed too close together, obscene gestures, tongues wagging, eyes closed. we really are a class act.
