Kobe...and Our Flat Tire :(

This past weekend was a scorcher here in Chicago. The neighborhood tour for One Tail at a Time was great, but the weather was so hot, that it made it nearly unbearable for us all to finish! Once the episode airs, I'll be sure to post it on our blog! :)

For Father's Day, we were all outside playing tennis and basketball, and Kobe sat and watched us all, but I could tell he was SO HOT, so we needed to get inside quick!

On our way up to my parent's home North of Chicago, we got a flat tire! I couldn't believe it happened, my first flat after driving for over 10 years. I guess that's kind of a good thing...

Nevertheless, Kobe thought it would be nice to try and help the mechanic fix the flat...

He tried to lend a paw...

But then decided it was way too hot to be doing anything! 

So, instead, he decided to go lay in the grass. Great alternative :)

NATO Summit...and Kobe!

Chicago hosted the NATO Summit this past weekend (Sun-Mon) and as Kobe and I went on a walk down Michigan Ave, we ran right into hundreds of people in Grant Park rallying and getting ready to go on a march towards McCormick Place.

I thought there would be more people coming down from everything I heard on the news, and my office building even closed for the day on Monday, but I really didn't see too many people.

There were cops EVERYWHERE we went, which was a good thing because it's better to have too much security, than not enough.

I took a picture of the protesters in Grant Park and a picture of Kobe (who was ready to fall over from the heat!) It was an interesting weekend seeing and hearing what everyone was protesting about. Something different, that's for sure!
