I just couldn't help myself

Slate came with a coach collar...yes, from the coach store, complete with a coach tag. Anyone who knows me knows that coach is not really my style. We left his coach collar on, until yesterday. I ran out and purchased a few plain collars and then ran over to the fabric store and bought some seasonal ribbons. Last night, I made Slate a "fall" collar (which he is wearing now) and a Christmas collar. I LOVE them. Since I've been in this diy mood for the past 6-8 months or so, I decided, why not make something personal for my pup?

The girls came into my room this morning and loved Slate's new flair! Alie cracks me up. She is Slate's unofficial interpreter. She loves to tell me when he's hungry, sleepy, sad or needs to play. The girls are really into helping in the morning and now that we have added some additional steps to our morning routine, they are even greater helpers. They both LOVE to push the button on the coffee grinder to grind my coffee beans. They argue over who is allowed to turn the coffee machine on. They love to feed Slate and Alie even helped me put the jug of milk away this morning. They are great helpers in the evening too. They both love to set the dinner table. Laney particularly likes to set out the napkins.

They crack me up...I love them!
