Rainy Friday Morning

Although I love rainy mornings here in Chicago, Kobe does NOT. He can't go outside & play with his friends in the park, and we definitely cannot go exploring around the city.

The look he gave me this morning when we came back in from a super short walk...

Pure disappointment. Sorry buddy.

However, we have some fun plans this weekend:
1.) Another fun playdate with a dog 3x his size
2.) Kobe's first birthday is on Sunday!!

Turn that frown upside down! We are going to have one fun weekend! : )

Lake Michigan

Kobe and I went for a walk on Lake Michigan a couple days ago, and he's been getting so lazy on our walks!

We'll be walking for about 30 minutes, then once he sees a patch of grass, he plops right down and refuses to get up and continue on our walk! It's actually really funny, but not helping me with my exercise ;)

It's fun to see all of the boats on and around the harbor. Certainly feels like summer is here. Even though it's about 60 degrees in Chicago today! :/

Memorial Day!

Our Memorial Day consisted of spending time with friends, and having Kobe make some new friends! Luckily the weather has been fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off our summer in the city!


We had a couple of our friends come by on Monday with their cock-a-poo, Sammi. They happened to get Sammi from the same breeder as Kobe, so I guess you can say they're cousins! Sammi is a 2 year old female cock-a-poo, and of course she was as sweet as can be!




They came over in the afternoon, and we went for a walk to Navy Pier where we planned to spend our day.
But not without making a quick stop for some frozen yogurt for the pups (as it was well over 90 degrees!) And they ate it right up as expected :)






On our walk to Navy Pier, we all tried to figure out what we wanted to do once we got there.  Sammi had been on a boat before, but Kobe hadn't, so we thought it'd be a fun idea to take a bout tour over Lake Michigan. Seadog Architectural tours are dog-friendly! It couldn't of worked out more perfect. We bought our tickets and waited in line to get on the boat:




I had to admit I was pretty nervous about having Kobe get on the boat because he had just drank a ton of water and finished his yogurt, so I was afraid he'd get sea sick. 

NOPE! Look at this little guy - as happy as can be!



Once we were done with the tour, mom and dad were pretty happy with the outcome :)



And so was our little guy:




Overall, our Memorial Day was perfect! Hope your day was great as well!
