So Oshie had an exciting weekend. It kicked off with a trip to the groomer Saturday morning. He received the full treatment including a bath, haircut, nail trimming and anal gland expression. The last part is something I prefer to leave to the professionals. Not something I am interested in performing no matter how much I love my dog.

handsome golden retriever — Cell phone shot so forgive the quality. Looking handsome after his grooming!

The rest of the day was spent being lazy and watching movies as it was way too hot outside. Sunday morning we got up early and headed out on our weekend morning ritual of a car ride and a trip to either Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks for some coffee. This time we decided to go with Starbucks. Oshie loves going on rides and hanging his goofy face out the window and into the rushing wind but what he really enjoys about these weekend trips is getting a treat. As I have mentioned in the past, Starbucks will give you a cup of whipped cream for free and they call it the Puppuccino. I always feel stupid asking for one but Oshie loves it. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Enjoy this video of Oshie with his Puppuccino. (his stance kills me haha)

Oshie loves the weekend. He is always up early and bothers Nancy non-stop until we get up. He will lay on top of her and hit her with his paws or lick her face until she has had enough and gets out of bed. He does this because he knows that on the weekends we take him for a car ride to get coffee. He is so funny. Oshie paces around anxiously and whines as we get ready.

As soon as we open the door he bolts to the car and sits next to the back door ready to jump in. With the windows down we cruise to Starbucks and he hangs out the window taking in all the scents. As we order our drinks he waits impatiently and when we get to the pick-up window he hangs out his window and stares at the workers intently. We always get him a puppuccino which is a kids Starbucks cup filled with whipped cream. Starbucks is awesome and gives them out for free if you just ask. In typical Golden fashion it is usually gone before we even pull away. He loves his weekend trips for coffee and the Starbucks employees love seeing him.
