I know that poor Ruby looks pretty silly in that bikini! We were at our friend, Linda Marie's place on the 4th hanging out and relaxing at the pool and we were also doggie sitting for Christine who was on the beach in San Diego. She laughs at me since I like to buy cute little outfits for Ruby, so I couldn't help but dress her up and e-mail her a photo of what's going on while she's not here. Christine, I promise that when we get Lauren, I'll quit dressing Ruby! ;)We had a really nice and relaxing day lounging by the pool and eating great food. We had two bar-b-que smokers cranked up. Joe smoked some pork ribs...
and Linda made some bacon wrapped shrimp...
we also had sweet corn...
and potato salad with sour cream and bacon...
Oh, and don't forget the sangria with fresh strawberries, raspberries and peaches...
After dinner, Linda surprised us with these...
We released ladybugs in honor of Lauren. How sweet is that? I loved it. 
The little ladies quickly made themselves at home in Linda's garden. 
Linda, thank you SO much for this sweet gesture. It's really nice to know that our friends are also thinking of Lauren and looking forward to us bringing her home.

The food looks so good, especially those ribs and bacon-wrapped shrimp. I just finished lunch, but my mouth is watering. A Lean Cuisine and yogurt just don't compare. OMG, Ruby, that's just hysterical.
Donna,That comment under ANNA is from me. I was in her account this morning and forgot to log out. :) Everyone's blog that I commented on this morning was under her name! She's been getting comments thanking her for the comment she "supposedly" left! We've had a good laugh about it.
