Travel Photo Friday: Legoland and Star Wars goodness in San Diego

BackoffDarth.jpg

Another fun stop in San Diego was Legoland. I’m a Lego Geek and a Star Wars Geek. So the new section on Star Wars was especially fun for me.

My favorites were the Millennium Falcon in Tatooine:

And the Hoth Scene:

Puppy. Party. Two great words even better together

One of my dearest friends added to her family and had a party to celebrate.

Introducing: Ringo the Wonder Dog

Ringo

Can you believe the cuteness?
At first, there was all kinds of puppy frolicking

Excited to meet you

Puppy excitement

There was so much running around to greet everyone that I couldn’t get a clear picture.

love

And then things started to calm down a bit and Ringo began to show us what puppies do best.

all things must be sniffed

Like sniff.

about to chew

And sniff.

Chew

And chew.

Chew

And chew some more.

And get distracted.

ears!

Which gave me a chance to admire his ears. I love puppy ears.

sweetness

I had to give him a scritch.

Scritch

And Ringo did not mind one bit. No siree.

Love the ears

Look at those ears! I love puppy ears.

The secondary purpose to all this puppy madness was to help socialize little Ringo. My friend put a bowl of kibble out with instructions on hand feeding him.

Instructions

Seven years ago, I helped with their other puppy Tala. Tala is now a very well behaved and social lady.

Tala showing her skilz

This is Tala showing Ringo how to act properly.

Tala is being Very Good

Here is Tala being a Very. Good. Dog. She would like you to know that. See that table? That’s where the treats are and, if you are inclined, you could give Tala a treat. Tala would never beg. Ladies don’t beg. But she’ll stay there just in case you think she is being a Very. Good. Dog. And maybe you would like to give her a treat.

Ringo Snuggle

Ringo often got scooped up. This is Ringo and his Young Man. (Don’t you love his hair?)

Ringo Snuggle

The young man gets his hair from his mom who likes to snuggle with puppies as much as I do.

More Ringo Snuggle

There was lots of puppy snuggling going on.

Tuckered

And Ringo got a bit tuckered out.

puppy paw

Giving me a chance to check out his sweet puppy paws. I love puppy paws almost as much as puppy ears.

Tala is still being Very Good

Tala would like you to know that through all this madness, she is still being a Very. Good. Dog.

sweetness

I’m sure Ringo will be a Very. Good. Dog. Right now, I just want to snuggle wuggle his puppy sweetness.
