Happy Valentine’s Day – Doug and Victory!

Happy Valentine’s Day to my two loves — you both make my life so much sweeter!

It is our second Valentine’s Day with little Victory, and for Doug and I it is our eleventh Valentine’s Day together!  Wow, where has the time gone!  I can still remember our first Valentine’s Day together.  Unbeknownst to the other, we gave each other the same Valentine’s card and Doug wrote such a sweet note inside the card.  I have kept all my cards, post cards, cards from flowers, etc., from Doug — I like keeping these tangible cards, I guess I am sentimental that way.   Doug and Victory are shown below.  Victory is wearing her new Valentine’s bandanna.  Last year, we left her Valentine’s bandanna on her, and, well, she chewed it off!

For Valentine’s Day, we got Victory some fun chew toys, since she loves to chew and hoard her toys!  We also signed Victory up for another training class, which begins next week.  It will be good to get Victory out of the house more to attend her class, especially during the colder winter months!  We cannot wait for spring to arrive in order to have more opportunities for outings with warmer weather, which is about five weeks away, but who is counting!  Doug and I are going to go to celebrate Valentine’s Day tomorrow by going to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in Northern Virginia and then we will spend the evening together with Victory, likely watching a Netflix/On Demand marathon!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all!  I hope that you have a nice long weekend!
