Cruel and fairly usual punishment

Considering we don't own a child yet, from time to time Tennille (and sometimes me) like to embarrass Kusaba. This stunt had all of his friend in the corner laughing at him.

The fact that the thermometer currently reads -7 should mean that dogs wouldn't want to go outside and run, unfortunately it doesn't mean that... AT ALL. So when we take Kusaba out for a run in these conditions he usually ends up stopping mid run and yelping while licking his paws. Tennille actually ended up carrying him home today (Ten, he is going to get beat up by the bully dogs, if ya don't let him start dealing with his own problems). Anyway here are the solutions we've tried.



First Tennille tried to improvise with some old mittens. When those flew off mid run she knew we would have to make a stop at Petsmart.




$15 dollars and one embarrassed dog later this is what we came up with

SUCCESS!

If any of you have been in suspense about how our chili booth did at the Novemberfest....we were pleasantly surprised! All the hard work is so worth it when someone says, "That is the BEST chili I have ever tasted!" Not to toot our own horn or anything, but it WAS the best chili we've ever made...haha.

Thanks for those of you who came and bought some chili....we definitely made enough to buy NEW couches for our house which was the goal we were shooting for. Also, thanks to my Aunt Margene for making our "chili" aprons. And just a sidenote: We are so glad THANKSGIVING week is over. Unlike everyone else in the world who gets to relax on Thanksgiving Day, we were working our little tails off. Next year, I've convinced my mom that we are eating Thanksgiving dinner at Golden Corral...
