Gussied Up

Derby Day is normally a big deal for my family.  Fancy hats, mint juleps, a party or two… but not this year.  It overlapped with the Richmond Nascar race, so Mugsy, Sissy and I went over to visit with Sam and my sister.  I’ll share photos about playtime on Thursday, but here’s a shot of Sissy’s first mani-pedicure.  The Knight only did her front paws, but in time,  he’s going to teach her to be still long enough for all four!

I was sent off to find PURPLE polish for the event, so if your monitor isn’t showing a rather bright purple, then you’re missing the full impact.

I spent every spare moment of the weekend knitting, and the end is within sight on the Butterflies.  I can’t seem to add another photo right now (due to weirdness with the “add media” box), so you’ll just have to wait and see it when it’s finished later this week.

    Oh what pretty feet! How sad about the derby, no? I was crying - poor baby girl, only girl to run, finish second and that’s her prize? Hope you are well, I was thinking of you all weekend. g

    How cute! And the Knight painted them!! LOL! I can’t believe he went with purple instead of pink… although she is a girl after my heart wearing purple polish!

    Love those purple toesies!! I’d like to paint Jayda’s, but I can’t imagine her having any part of it, my little ADHD doggie!! Maybe I should try, she might surprise me!

    Okay…the Knight does realize that I have an all new thing to rib him about, right? hehehe Tell him that I suppose if he’d really like to give me a pedicure instead of going to Grave Digger’s musuem, I guess I can manage. SNOL

    Still sad about Eight Belles, but we’re all so excited about Big Brown! I won a whopping $58, LOL. I’m going to send the winnings + $2 down to the Preakness.

    How sweet! I can’t believe what a great job the Knight did on her toes. Sissy is certainly into all the latest fashions!
