Yesterday was the company annual Holiday Party!!!  Here I am with my good friend Margo who lets me drink BEER!  mom does not let me do that she says Margo does not have to deal with me afterwards. Also in the picture is Rita who is so beautiful and nice.

There was PIZZA at the party!  It was from David’s PIZZA and they made the pizzas right there on site! It is a vehicle that looks like a fire truck!  Ha ha that is a funny idea!

Here I am with Jaime and Chris who are both super handsome and smart!

And this is me with Scott who is also very handsome and funny and works in Finance.

This is Jose who is really nice and very handsome and seems to be concerned that I might get too close to his BEER.  ha ha!

Here Carolyn is giving me a Kit Kat because I am a TIGER!

It was a great party!  There was Ben & Jerry’s ICE CREAM and a band playing music and mom won a prize which was a purple gift box!  with a gift card inside!

We went to see the holiday lights at Gaiser Conservatory in Manito Park!

They had a lot of cactus that looked awesome with the lights!

Our super duper neighbor Maggie gave us a wreath to hang on our door!!

Also this week we met Soren who came to our house to take care of some plumbing issues and fix some siding that was loose. Soren was super nice and handsome.  He fixed everything and best of all his shirt matches my bandana!

This weekend a market that we go to was having a CHEESE festival!

TIGERS love Cheese!  This picture shows how much!

Also this weekend we met Brian who is the best Salvation Army Bell Ringer ever!  He was super cheerful and friendly with everyone and is very handsome!

After that mom made me a new holiday bandana!  With a reindeer on it!!!

Today we went hiking at Turnbull and saw a WILD PORCUPINE!!!!  We were walking along and heard a scratching noise and looked around and the PORCUPINE was climbing a tree right near us!!  It is a little hard to see he is camoflazed   camoogfl   he blends in so well. I added an arrow so you can see where he is.

Here is a close up after he settled down. He curled up like a fuzzy ball!

Oh boy we had a great Thanksgiving!  First our awesome neighbor Lee brought over these terrific candy acorns and turtles that she made! Chocolate – yum yum!

Then we had dinner at our friend Susan’s (and her wife Julia’s) house! It was a feast!  Susan is an amazing cook and they have a beautiful house.

Here I am with Susan and Julia who are both totally gorgeous and smart and great fun.

This is Ieleen who was one of the other guests. She is a librarian I LOVE libraries!

Also this week we went to a soap-making class!  It was fantastic!

This is Sandy who teaches the class and has been making soap for more  than 25 years!  She taught us about the history of soap and shared some hilarious stories. She is super beautiful and did an excellent job with the class.  We made our own soap but it has to cure for three weeks. I can hardly wait! and I don’t even like baths.

OMG!!!!! Auntie Darcy got to meet Tony The TIGER!!!!  He is the biggest TIGER celebrity EVER!!!  OMG!  I wasn’t there but I managed to photoshop myself into the picture.  Auntie Darcy is the luckiest person EVER! 

Me and mom went to the Titanic exhibit at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture! We were not allowed to take photos but here I am with our entry pass. It is a replica of a boarding pass to the Titanic!  Mom got to be the Countess of Rothes who traveled first class. At the end of the exhibits are lists of everyone on board the ship and it shows who survived and who did not. Mom and the Countess made it. Most of the first class passengers survived but most of the crew and people travelling steerage did not.

The museum had all kinds for great things for kids and Tigers to do!

Also the most exciting thing happened last week!  David moved in to the office at work!  David is an engineer but has transferred to the IT department. He is super smart and funny and really handsome!  but not quite as handsome as me. 

At work to celebrate Veteran’s Day there was a giant crock pot pot luck party!  There were about 50 crock pots with everything from chili to venison to mac & cheese! Yum!!!

There were also tons of homemade desserts!  Mom said it’s a special occasion so we could have some sweets.  Mom said we can freeze them and have one once in a while but instead we ate them all up that afternoon!  It was awesome!!!

We got a gift at the party!  because mom is a veteran.  It is this super cool flashlight that turns into a mini lantern!  Me and Dixie like to play with it in the closet at home.

The snow is all gone!  There was just a little bit left in the back yard a few days ago.

This weekend we went for a long walk in the woods near our house and we found a whole bunch of interesting artsy posts with good advice.

OMG!!!  It started snowing at work on Friday!  Yayyyyyy!

Then on Saturday night it snowed a lot more!  We measured how much snow was on our back deck.  I cannot read the numbers very well but it was a lot! Over four inches!

This is a view from the deck.  We shoveled a lot of snow today.  Mom says we need to get used to it since it is supposed to be a snowy winter this year. Tigers LOVE the snow!

Also last week was Halloween!  Here are some of the trick-or-treaters who came to our door  I was not scared I am a TIGER!

Oh Boy!  We spent the whole weekend at WORK!  It was GREAT!  We did a big domain migration whatever that is here is a photo of me outside Migration Command Center!

This is Bruce who came from the corporate office to help!  He was super nice and handsome and extremely patient with mom who asked lots of silly questions.

Here I am with Nancy I love Nancy!  She is so smart and nice and gorgeous. Also we had Jordan from a consulting firm helping out. He was very funny and handsome and loves spicy food he ordered 5 stars for his Thai lunch one day!

We ate lots of restaurant food YAYYYY! As the least smart person on the team mom got to order and organize the food and go pick it up. I LOVE restaurants!

Autumn is here and look at the amazing colors of the Japanese Maple in our yard!

Here are pictures of leaves on trees in our street.  We’ve been raking leaves a lot!  

And it is going to be Halloween soon!  The neighbors are ready.

Yesterday Marcus who has been doing some landscaping for us came over and shoveled rocks all day! It was a huge pile of rocks!  Marcus is super nice and handsome but not quite as handsome as me. I wanted to help move rocks but mom had me help fix him a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and I only got a little bit of fur in it.
