*waves wildly* HAPPY NATIONAL STATIC ELECTRICITY DAY, EVERYONE!
Ahem. I hope you’re all doing well! What do you think of my new blog design? I gave everyone a bit of a sneak peek at the new look when I changed up my sidebar, but now everything has been changed and completely covered in glitter. It’s very sparkly, huh? XD You’ll need to go to my blog’s homepage to see the full design. I’d absolutely love to get your feedback/opinions on it, so please leave a comment below and tell me what you think! ❤
Alright, now on the other topic of this post. 😀 As many of you already know, I have a Lab named Maude who is undoubtedly the most adorable dog to ever live. (No, of course I’m not prejudiced, why would you think that?) I’ve posted about her before, but it’s been a while, and so I decided it was about time that she got a whole post just to herself. PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR EXTREME CUTENESS, GUYS.
Maude wants to tell you all that she’s glad you’re taking the time to read this post, and that she hopes you’re having a great day. She also wants to know if you have treats, by any chance?
Maude loves sticks of all shapes and sizes. Her pen is full of them and she loves to carry them around and chew them to pieces.
HA HA look at her face! XD
Whew, all that chewing must be hard work.
AWW SHE’S SMILING. I love this picture!!
She’s even cute when she yawns, guys! JUST LOOK AT THAT FACE. *melts*
Introducing Maude’s duck toy. I discovered it in her pen and we played a game of fetch, but I may have forgotten to throw it more than once because I was too busy taking photos. XD
Now for a few photos of Maude on the front porch! I put glasses on her a little while ago, and this morning I decided to see if she would wear a hat. 😛 Surprisingly, she didn’t mind the hats that much! She just sat there and looked unimpressed. XD
Here, you can see Maude displaying her self-control by not eating the delicious treat that’s sitting right next to her. I taught her this trick a while ago, and it’s amazing how long she’ll wait even when the treat is right in front of her!
The hat fell down over her eyes while I was taking pictures, and she just laid there and didn’t even try to move it. XD
Well, I hope you enjoyed that post! 🙂 It was a lot of fun to take and edit the photos of Maude – I just can’t get over how cute she is. XD
Have a fantastic week!
What do you think of my new blog design? DO YOU AGREE THAT MAUDE IS ADORABLE?
Your blog design is super pretty, and the dog is SUPER CUTE!!! 😄
