All of those names are just things we sometimes call Millie. You might be wondering why this is the second post of the week. I am so glad you asked, because I have an announcement. To Millie. A dog that can in no way, shape, or form, understand this at all. Because she can’t read. At all. and she can’t access a device containing the website to my blog. At all. So on with the announcement!
Dearest Millie, You will never be as young as you are today. It is your first birthday. 365 days ago, you entered this world. The End. That is as sappy as I am going to get.
Happy Birthday Millie! We all love you, you big fluffball!
I hope you like these photos! I made Millie’s birthday cake hat out of a cracker box, felt, hot glue, tape, and ribbon.
I know that this post is short, but it is really just a mini post to honor Millie on her special day.
I love you so much Millie! Happiest wishes for the year to come!
Don’t hate me. Starting off with a pun that makes you groan and say, “Come on, Grace, I am really not in the mood for an extremely cheesy pun that Dads laugh about because it falls into the category of Terrible Dad Joke Material. I came to your blog because I heard about your amazing posts and my Halloween costume this year is going to be you and you let me down because of a simple pun.”
To all of those people out there, I am sincerely sorry. (And if you are choosing me as a Halloween costume, I usually wear an old t-shirt and jeans.)
But we’re getting off topic. I started with the pun because my family and I have been doing some dog sitting lately. (I have not, I repeat, HAVE NOT been sitting on dogs.) Some of our closest family friends have an adorable dog named Bindi. I talked a bit about her in my vacation posts because my dog Millie stayed with Bindi and her family while we were in Manzanita. Millie had a blast with her and when Bindi stayed with us, Millie and Bindi were running around the house, snuggling, and barking at Scruffy 24/7. (I feel like I am making it seem like Scruffy was an innocent bystander who happened to get barked at a lot. If you think that is the case, you are dead wrong. For one thing, Scruffy barked at them more than they barked at Scruffy, and another thing, Scruffy hates almost everybody. I mean, he takes Millie’s stuff, eats Millie’s stuff, and generally does his best to irritate Millie. But back to the story. Bindi and Millie played all of the time. Before I show you the photos of Millie and BIndi, I want to show you some dog puns I thought you might like…
Now it’s time for some awesome pictures of Millie, Bindi, and Scruffy…
Bindi looks so sad!Bindi loves hanging out on my parents bed!Millie looks so snazzy in her Hello Kitty Hat!Bindi thought I said TREAT and automatically looked up to get something and I couldn’t resist taking a photo. Why hello Millie! You look like you need an appointment at a dog spa. (No offense.)Scruffy got really close to the camera when he tried to lick me and get me to take a picture of him at the same time. After seeing Bindi getting a lot of attention from the camera, Scruffy couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.
While we were watching a movie, Millie and Bindi decided that it was a great time to run around. I mean, isn’t 9:40 PM a great time to get your wiggles out? They started chasing each other and, well… Just watch the video.
I know that this post is supposed to be only about dogs but before I do Actor Of The Week, I want to recommend an AMAZING book. When I explain it a bit, it will sound really confusing and/or sad, but I really hope you try to read it. Allie Brosh wrote a book called Hyperbole and a Half. It’s about her life. From her funny childhood stories to her FANTASTIC dog tales to her frequent depressions. Allie Brosh explains her depression in a way that makes me feel like I am in her brain. The fun format and awesome drawing style really makes you fall in love with the book.
An interesting thing about this is that after Allie wrote this book she disappeared for seven years. It was as if she died. She wasn’t on social media, she wrote no books, and she made no contact with anyone. She completely disappeared off the face of the earth. Then suddenly she popped back on the radar and wrote a sequel to Hyperbole and a Half, called Solutions and Other Problems.
And now it’s time for…
Actor Of The Week! DRUMROLL PLEEEEEEASE…
John Mulaney!
He played Peter Porker/Spider Ham in Spiderman into the Spiderverse. Check out who Peter Porker is right here. He plays himself in a movie called John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch, and he plays numerous other characters in a bunch of other movies! Check out what else he is in right here! I really love John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch. It is funny, witty, and entertaining. It’s on Netflix and I recommend watching it now. Work and/or school can wait. This movie is worth it. This is one of my most favorite scenes in the Sack Lunch Bunch!
It is a bit weird at first, but trust me. it is SO worth it.
Wow, this is the 26th post! That is so awesome! If I had done one post per week from the very beginning (which I didn’t do), then I would have done this for exactly half of a year!
Anyway, let’s start with Pumpkins. On Saturday, Kim, Dad, Mom, Hazel, Doc, and I went to the Pumpkin Patch! It was Doc’s first time and he found and (tried to) lift so many pumpkins! He even got to choose his own!
This photo was taken on my front porch
The next subject is sugar. Not just sugar on its own. This sugar is mixed with a bit of flour, eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. That’s right. If you haven’t guessed already, we’re talking about chocolate cupcakes!
Kim baked them and while Doc was asleep, Hazel, Kim, and I decorated them! These are some photos!
The circled ones are the ones that I made! You can see how skilledtalentedgreat okay I am at cupcake decorating!I love all of the little candy eyes!
Anyway, I just thought they were kind of cute. Onto the next topic! One of my great friends, Margo, has the MOST ADORABLE KITTENS IN THE ENTIRE FREAKING WORLD!! MY BRAIN IS GOING TO EXPLODE WITH KITTEN CUTENESS!!!!!!! These are the pictures of Frankie and Siggy!
Aren’t they just the cutest things!!!!!!!
That was a very short topic but we both know that it was necessary.
Now for the moment you all have been waiting for! Actor Of The Week!!!!
She is amazing! She is in my favorite show called The Good Place. She co-stars as Janet, a robot/female/informational assistant/this makes so much more sense if you watch the show.
She really makes you believe that she is the character she plays and she is funny, silly, and smart. If any of you are curious and want to watch The Good Place (I don’t blame you, that’s a smart idea), then you can find it on Netflix.
Happy Almost Halloween!
Thanks for reading!

P.S. I know that this post is already pretty long, (scrolling up on this post really drains your energy), but I just thought that all of you should know what I am doing for Halloween! My family and I are going to stay in our house and watch Halloween-themed movies… But that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to do costumes. As you know, almost every year my family has made his or her own costumes and this year won’t be any different. I am going to be a costco sample person!
First of all, you NEED to see how adorable Doc is! He and Kim have been taking a bunch of Snapchat photos. I know I’ve shown you some before but these may be even better. And this time there are even a few Halloween-themed ones! Keep in mind that some a a bit creepy…
Wow! That topic was shorter than I expected. Anyway, He has been adorable. He likes playing A LOT with lego. He takes Lego into my room and has conversations with me about how they like to eat “GAH-goos” (crackers). He also talks about the superheroes in PJ Masks, his new favorite TV show.
PJ Masks is all the craze now. Jake and The Neverland Pirates is officially dead to Doc. PJ Masks are basically gods to him.
Keep in mind that these four characters smile in every episode, so burning in a pit is pretty cool to them. Well not cool because they are literally on fire, but you get what I mean.These are the new gods of TV. At least in Doc’s perspective.
After getting a bit off topic it is time to show you how amazing googly eyes truly are. I may have gotten a bit stir crazy and distracted so the outcome of all of that is…
I also figured out how awesome the paper eyebrows are…
So after that minorly embarrassing video, I want to talk about Millie. My friend India (you may remember her from a previous birthday post) and I really like going on walks. Last time we went for a walk, I brought Millie. She loved it and India and Millie really hit it off. Millie loved being in the spotlight and India and I agreed that the moment was too cute to pass up…
AdorableAdorableStill adorableAnd wouldn’t you know it, still completely adorable!
Millie smiled so much! I just love these photos. Thanks India!!!! But after realizing that there are A LOT of photos in this post I think we need to change it up a bit. And your in luck because Actor Of The Week is on its way!!!
The actor is…
Jim Carrey!!!
He is in fabulous movies like The Truman Show, Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, and The Grinch. You can check out all of the other movies he has been in right here!
My two favorite Jim Carrey movies are… The Truman Show
and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective!
Now before this post ends, I have to show you guys a hysterical video. Saturday Night Live did an amazing song ft. Megan Thee Stallion. I totally recommend it! It is super funny. I give you… Bottom of Your Face!
I hope all of you have a wonderful rest of the week!
