Tubesocks & Birthday Toes!
At last, I can show off my stripey OTK tubesocks!
I’ve been enjoying this pair since last month, but decided not to let the cat out of the bag about them til they were here, just in case something didn’t work out with being able to get them in. But they are now here in three cool colors (Xilia is proudly wearing the other two in the post below, in case you didn’t already see it :)
Since we can do these in just about any combination we dream up it could really get crazy trying to keep them all straight, so we’ve decided to just have a few at a time, and change them out now and then, maybe every month, or every other month. So, if there is a combination you’d really love to see let us know, we just might add it in the future ~:)
I love how these fit me. I don’t always like the way tube socks fit around my feet, but these are truly comfy and stayed on my feet for hours of walking around (rather than hanging four inches past my toes after my first trip down the stairs). And, as you can see, Lola the birthday girl loves them too! she found them to be extra snuggle-able V..V ‘
Many thanks goes out tonight to the Berlin Inn on Powell & SE 12th street here in Portland. Not only do they allow dogs on their patio, they actually have a doggie menu!. I’d like their Warm Patio Pooch Menu to have at least one more healthier option, but the Chow Hound was pretty tasty (yup, I tried it myself) and spätzle with gravey once in awhile can’t hurt a girl, plus it had some milk bones mixed in! (I didn’t try those, Lola assured me they were tasty though!).

Every time I look at her birthday dish, I think of Cracker Jack…..

Happy Birthday to Lola :) I already yelled at my boyfriend (who lives in Portland) to take me to the Berlin Inn next time I’m in town :P

It has been one of my fav restaurants here for nearly all of the 10+ years I’ve lived here, actually since before I actually moved into Portland (having lived in Aloha & Damascas the first few years). So when I found out about the dog menu I was thrilled!!!

and just to assure everyone, we do not make a habit of feeding our girl “people food”, she was raised on Canidae and is now being gradually switched over to Innova Evo, both are about as good as food in a bag for dogs gets ~:)
