Legally Blonde's Proceedings

Today is Lola's 9th birthday!  I can't believe it's been almost 9 years, since that tiny white pup with giant ears and paw came into my life.  Here's lots of Lola pics... I always take pics of her on the night before her birthday... Her "Goodbye Eight" photo... She had a good day I think.  She got new toys and bones, but most of all, she got plenty of attention...

(2) Bruno Mars at half time was so fun.   (3) My favorite commercial was... (4) Lola was less impressed with the game, but she greatly enjoyed the Puppy Bowl.  She was glued to the television. Movies I have not made my way to the theater to see any movies I need to see before the Oscars, so that's a big fail.  I am trying to see all nominated movies that are coming out on DVD (or Apple TV) between now and then.
