{08nov2010: prizes}

As you may recall, Darwin won Augie and Ti's Halloween costume contest.   Well the prizes arrived the Friday before Halloween and boy were we surprised!

Such a big box!
Since it was dog day Friday in our office (as all Friday's are) Darwin was there and was so excited to see what was in the box.

Of course since we were celebrating Halloween in the office Darwin had to come in her winning costume.


Once she got in the box we could see it was filled with lots of fun things!


A stuffed spikey ball!

A super cute abominable snowman (which has since been destuffed)!

Look at all these goodies (the warthog has also been destuffed)!

They even sent a cute Halloween card with it all.

Thank you so much Augie and Ti!  Darwin loves all her new toys!!

Since we were celebrating Halloween, here's my last minute costume idea.

I was a crazy old cat lady.  I really should've dressed Darwin up as a cat.

And here's Darwin's bff Juneau who was also in the office (we usually only are allowed one dog in the office at a time, but our boss let us bring both dogs in since it was a party day).

Can anyone guess who they were dressed up as?

Oh and a lot of you asked about Darwin's last Wordless Wednesday post.  We're still (and I think always will be) treating her for her back problems she developed in February/March.  We go to see our holistic vet every 5 weeks or so for acupuncture and chiropractic treatments.  She says to get the energy flowing even more it's better to use electro-acupuncture so she hooks a few needles up to a little battery box.  It's like a mini set of jumper cables.  Darwin's got a lot better about relaxing when we go in for her appointments, while she won't sleep as some other dogs do, she does lay there and is pretty tolerant of it all.  Dr. Kelleher tries to leave the needles in as long as possible, usually 10-15 minutes, and she'll do the electro-acupuncture for at least 5-10 minutes.  It's amazing how it helps Darwin, and Darwin seems to know it too.
