Keep On Keepin' On.

Photobucket
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Photobucket
And that means Littlest Pet Shop!  I am the Husky in the middle.

Photobucket
Helped with some moving last weekend.  Putting together Ikea furniture is always an adventure.

Photobucket
Somehow it all came together with only one missing part...

Photobucket
How does Princess like the move?  The look says it all...

Photobucket
Lot of work happening around Lollypop Farm.  

Photobucket
Goodbye lawn!

That's all.  Very, very busy and lots of crazy little details all over the place...

You Get the Idea...

One must always be aware of fuzzy kittens at the office...

Photobucket
And a farm full of cupcakes

Chance apparently likes to dress like a fireman because he doesn't like the rain

Photobucket
I've seen how he puts out fires.

Here's the new $855 million children's hospital I worked on for a couple of years when in Chicago.  With the move, Children's Memorial Hospital has become the Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.  This place will probably be the most fun hospital ever built and a tourist destination.  Check it out at: http://luriechildrens.org/

PS-Congrats to the Children's Memorial staff, volunteers, donors, and the countless people that made it possible for such an awesome place to exist.  I'm very proud to say I played a very minor role in something that will help generations of children attain a healthy adulthood.

In Memory of Memorial Day Weekend

Goodbye Sidewalk!  The construction begins at Lollypop Farm for the expansion and renovation of our facilities!

The animals don't seem to mind the construction

No more Acky Breaky Barn...

INVADER!  A fox moved into the emu area and had babies.  And, before you ask, they are not available for adoption.

Three Lakes Pavillion.  Looks like an old castle, but probably the porch of some old mansion.

Photobucket
Living in Rochester, you sometimes forget there's a Great Lake here

Photobucket
More Lake Ontario

Photobucket
Megan with the 80 lbs lap dog, Steeeeeeeeella!

Photobucket
Rocky just hanging out

Photobucket
And Gertie not quite sure what to do about the dogs that are more than 13 times her size

That's about it.  REALLY, REALLY, REEEEALLY busy these days.  Really...

"I went to the bar to get a drink and tried to order.  Then the guy started juggling!  Then he started running around the room.  I can't tell who works here and who's an actor.  THIS IS GREAT!!!"

It seems prohibition is over!

What a great night!  Awesome job Karen and Russ!!!  Your countless hours of work really paid off and everyone had a blast!  Great job to my team making sure everything went smoothly and our guests had fun!  To all the volunteers helping with silent auctions, live auctions, check in and check out, processing, etc.; I hope you had a good time because you made a lot of people happy that night!  As did all the staff of Sonnenberg, Philipson Group, all our sponsors!  Most of all, to our generous guests who have saved countless lives with their contributions!
