Our Lacey will be here in less than 10 weeks. And we are so excited and cannot wait to meet her! When Lacey gets here she will have a wonderful big furry sister. Our firstborn. Yes, I'm talking about our dog Gracie Bear. I actually got Gracie Bear about 6 months before Josh and I started dating. She's been with me through soo many things...good and bad. She's been a constant companion and is my baby girl. For those of you who have pets you will understand this love. She is a HUGE part of our family. We love to do things for her and take her places to have fun. Every year we always take her to the PetSmart HOWL-oween Costume party. Josh is always telling her she needs to earn her keep and work. So, we go to these types of events in hopes of winning gift cards. So far, she has done pretty well. The first year she came in 3rd place and last year she came in 2nd place for the costume party. She did win the Pet Birthday party best party hat. 2 years ago. So she has won gift cards which helps in purchasing food. This past weekend we took her again to the HOWL-oween party. This year we dressed her as a Home Depot employee. In the parade her Grandpa was her escort and wore a Home Depot hat so we had a great team. In the end, she won first place!!! Josh and I were such proud puppy parents! Josh took so many pictures. It was just a lot of fun.
