i've been looking ALLLL over for a warriors jersey for aston online. no luck. we went to the game tho yesterday and guess what.... THEY HAD IT! guess who's a little warrior?!

Ast-on Davis :)
GOOOO WARRIORS!!

ordered some collars from the seller luckyfiona on etsy.com. i LOVE it! very sturdy and i love that she adds little charms to each collar! here's aston modeling his new stuff!


COLLAR 1

aston and his stash (missing: treat jar and red sweater)

bought this ulra cute boston terrier bag from KOHL's (50% off!) haha..... of course, i wouldn't wear it in public, lest I want to get curious looks from passersby. lol. but i'm a crazy boston lady and i just HAD to get it!!
oooh. wear the collar as a headband. BONUS! (yes we still have our christmas tree up lol)

just like last year, for aston's birthday party, we had to pray to the rain gods to hold off the rain... we were blessed again with no rain and we were able to celebrate aston's 2nd birthday with a few of his doggie friends!

We simply cannot believe that our little mon chi chi is now 2 years old! He's a MAN, baby! Aston's still as sweet as ever (and still a daddy's boy haha). We love him so so so much!! We just cannot imagine our life without him....

Happy Birthday, Aston! May we celebrate MANY MANY MANY more birthdays with you!

AGH!! I wish I knew how to work our new iMovie on our MacBook Pro, otherwise, I'd have a slideshow of his 2nd year. I'll have to learn and post it later ;)

His birthday celebration was pretty low key. When I got home from work, we had to bring him to his appointment at the vet. Since we moved, we decided to move to a vet closer to us. The vet saw that Aston's paws had hair loss and looked red. I told him about his history with allergies, but we went ahead and ok'ed a skin scraping to rule out demodex (again, for the 3rd time). Thankfully, his tests came back negative, but that just means that we'll have to figure out what he's allergic to and might have to see a veterinarian dermatologist. For now, he was given antihistamines and a topical spray to get rid of the itch. Our 2 year old boy weighed in at 19.3 lbs :)




THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WARM BIRTHDAY WISHES!! Here's to another fun-filled year!

can't believe our little furbaby is 2. such  big boy, but BIG on love :) We love you Aston! (Will be back later for a birthday recap)

we spent the weekend at my aunt's house (my mom's sister) and aston made a discovery:


Uh... Grandma O? Looks like you have a serious bug problem here!

took aston to the dog park so he could poop himself out when me and my cuzzo went for a walk in the evening. (i try to bring him, but it's also hard at the same time because he wants to stop and sniff everything or he keeps weaving in and out of our paths.) aston is such a ball hog that whenever another dog gets even close to him, he goes BALListic (*slaps knee*) it's been a while since he's been at the dog park, so i have to get him accustomed to being like a nice dog around others. sometimes tho, you never know with the owners. when aston plays "assertively" they see it as "aggresively". UGH.

anyway, since he stank after our visit to the dog park, he definitely needed a bath!

i was uploading some other pictures and i left him in the tub. this is what i came back to.

took a walk this morning and brought my trusty camera with me so i could take photos of aston at the super nearby park. enjoy!






thanks for looking!

oh boy. doing some cleaning of our bedroom for our move next week. found a boppy. aston found love. and of course, mommy made a photo op. (yes, i is sick) hehe


(please excuse the mess, we're in the process of moving!)





in another news, check out the current reigning ugliest dog.

so, i've noticed aston's tear stains are getting bad. eesh. i bought some tear stain remover, but man, i think he's gonna need more help. lol. gotta read into it to see how to make it go away.

check out this video of this boy as i'm preparing to wash  his face. he seriously just sits there like a little human. i swear, i forget that he's a dog sometimes. LOL

this year is DH's 2nd "paw-der's" day. some pics of the day.


he's never this kissy with mommy. lol

my mom went camping this weekend, which meant no furbaby-sitter for aston while we went to a wedding in sacramento. we decided to board him at the much talked about WAG HOTEL in San Francisco. basically, all that glitters isn't gold and we will not bring him back there again. the only reason why we did bring him there was because my mom was out camping and wag offers late pick up. the thing i was most disappointed was the fact that in the 12 hours he was there (12pm-12am), he only had one hour of play from 2:30-3:30. The rest of the time he was in his "room" where he had to urinate and defacate. "Business walks" were $15-25. crazy eh? we realized just how lucky we were to have my mom help sit when we're out.

some pictures of him in WAG:

aston stayed with his uncle vuitton (he's actually older than him, but uncle cuz he's my aunt's dog haha) while me and DH went to a party. Vuitton is notorious for marking around the house, so he spends a lot of time in his crate.

uncle, can you come out and play?

no time for extensive commentary, but wanted to share some pics of our little one.

waiting for daddy in the car.

the other day, while we were at home, i noticed that i hadn't seen or heard from aston in a while. i got up and went to look for him.

not sucking on his cow, elsie (where i saw him last - in the living room).

not in the bedroom or hallway.

went back to the living room. not in the dining area.

not in the patio with hubby.

checked again in the bedroom. looked under the bed. nothing.

asked hubby where he was. seriously? our place is not that big. the doors were locked. he HAD to be somwhere in this apt.

i checked the bedroom again. third time.

we dropped aston off to my mom's on April 30 because MIL is in ICU and we're at the hospital all day. i miss him dearly. this past saturday, my mom and aunt wanted to visit my MIL, so i picked them up and so I got to see Aston. i had him ride up with us, so i could spend time with him, since there's only 2 visitors at a time in the ICU. i took him on a walk and pretty much held him the whole time. it's so weird coming home and he's not here....

i took this pic when we were approaching the hospital. i said, "aston, where's your daddy?" and he shot up and started looking out the window, whimpering. what a sweetheart.
