Seattle, Day 11

This is Lucy. Love, love, love this dog. Isn't she the cutest thing ever?

Slept in. Lounged with our friends' puppies, Lucy and Gibson. Got a little work done. Found a beautiful purple ruffly silk dress for the wedding I'm attending next week (and how fun to get to shop with my fabulously stylish friend!) Had Mexican food and margaritas at Mama's...yum. Viewed another epic slide show back at our friends' house (yesterday was our most recent vacation and their recent trip to Europe, today the vacation/wedding trip of mutual friends of ours).

We are having the best time...don't want it to end...

Missing Seattle: The Arboretum

My favorite way to escape the concrete of the city...

Seattle's arboretum is so beautiful in every season, and big enough to get a decent workout in if you loop trails together. It's like leaving the city entirely it's so thick and lush, and it smells so good.

I came here all the time with my first dog, Shaye, a great Dane/greyhound mix. And then with Dexter, my brother's boxer, when I lived here a few years ago. Sometimes I'd be babysitting my BFFs miniature schnauzer--the fabulous Miss Lucy--and she'd come along. She'd always get muddy and I'd have to give her a bath in the sink.

Mid-day mid-week the arboretum is all but deserted. Absolutely love it here.
