Throw Back Thursday at Mt. Vernon

 In honor of Throw Back Thursday here are some photos from when we lived in DC and took Bianca to Mt. Vernon - the estate of George Washington. The estate is on the Potomac river and has live animals, orchards, gardens, museums, and all sorts of cool things to see. When Bianca was a puppy we took her to see it and had a mini photo shoot. She's still adorable. It's still one of our all time favorite places!

Secret Lab

The Knight Girls' Secret Lab 
aka: Home Office

 Gracie and I enter our office each morning at 6am, bright eyed and bushy tailed after a complete breakfast. Mmm...okay that might not be entirely truthful; sometimes we bring our breakfast to work with us. (And very occasionally we've been known to work from bed.)

Gracie spends the majority of her workday monitoring
 her girl human from under the desk. 

Working on her "Dream Board"

 Gracie: Warning that overtime might be approaching 

Perhaps the most important position Gracie holds is that of  CEA (Chief Executive Alarm).  She alerts for all important meetings. These include: play time, breakfast time, snack time, treat time, more bichon attention time,  "outside business meetings", and SO much more!

And we make this face a lot

This is what it looks like when we're having fun, and when we're overwhelmed, or frustrated, or really excited, or tired of Gracie's "alerts".

At the end of the day we love our job and our happy home office. Thanks for touring it with us!

The Quiet Game the Frenchton Way

We like to tease play with Bianca, but one game we particularly like is The Quiet Game the Frenchton Way. Bianca doesn't know the meaning of "playing quietly" and playing really brings out her spirit animal, The Pigeon. Sometimes we like to think she was a pigeon in another life and then graduated to "Dog" in this one. But you be the judge.

What's your pup's spirit animal? Tell us on our Instagram page!

Motor City

Buckle-up my friends we’re about to let you in on some super secret deal making information.

Today is short story 2 of 3 in our “Zoom Zoom” Follow-up mini series.

·      How deals are made in Motor City

We’ve been thrilled about creating this post since the day it actually happened!

You see, before Gracie had the plush life as an event dog she spent her days working at Alpine Body Shop in Ogden, Utah. If you can believe it, she was a shop dog in a family auto body repair business.

A trip to Michigan meant journeying to a Holy Car Mecca, and these Knight girls were fired up for the epic adventure to begin!! (Please excuse our over use of exclamation marks in this post. We’re just SO excited about cars!)

We got down to business right away… Aunt Kristen was in the market for a new Jeep. We KNEW we had to accompany her if she was to do this car buying thing correctly. Yippee!!! Things were about to get exciting!

Gracie recommends all canines accompany their humans on such trips. It's critical that you can personally sniff out important features, this includes: ample room for causing mayhem, space to store ALL your toys when you travel, dual climate control, four wheel drive (for adventuring obviously), a media package (we can’t be expected to miss Animal Planet or Ceasar Milan when travelling) , and most importantly the right seat height to window viewing ratio.

Once a car has been found that meets all the canine criteria then we close this deal.

 "How does one close a deal?" You ask...

Gracie taking charge

Aunt Kristen for the Win!

 PINKY PROMISES!!!                   
Take note, fur friends, pinky promises indicate a highly lucrative deal and are obviously more legally binding than any paper agreement! As an expert contract negotiator Gracie insists on finalizing all contracts in the most secure fashion.  My friends, never forget the pinky promise!

Are any of you fellow Gear-heads, aka: Car Enthusiasts?  We’d love to know who you are!

Beach Day!

Last week we had some of our favorite people visit us (Girl human's family) and we got to go to the beach! If you didn't already know, the Oregon coast is beautiful, not always warm, but beautiful. We went to Cannon Beach (it is in the movie Goonies) and a cute little town named Seaside. We had a lovely time running around like crazies and getting told how adorable we are by lots of strangers.

Our little family (and Bianca trying to get a taste of some ice cream haha)

There is also a little video on our Instagram, if you want a little more beach time!

Thanks for visiting and Happy Easter!
