Hey y’all, happy Friday! Can you believe there is a week until Halloween? This month has just flown by. The last few weeks you have heard me voice my irritations with the HOT weather in Texas, but I am happy to report things have been in the 80s and even 70s this week, plus rain! All good things 🙂 It was so hot the week before, I played around with my favorite pumpkin chai tea recipe and it was a nice treat to have while it was still hot! I plan on making it warm this weekend though…can’t wait!
One of my favorite things this week was watching this little vine (above) grow like crazy in the front yard! We planted some on the side yard, but somehow it started growing here too. It is starting to grow on the Cinderella pumpkin which is awesome. Hopefully it will last through November 🙂
We went to Target the other day and when we walked out, this HUGE beautiful leaf was just sitting there in the parking lot. We have no idea what tree it came from or anything, but I had to take it! It was literally as big as my leg.
Keeping it real with this picture…no make up, work clothes, blurry…but Ruger is such a happy boy in this picture! We had to rush him to the vet after he got hurt in the backyard. Somehow he got his big head stuck in the fence and panicked, so he was thrashing his head all around which was cutting up his face. Blood was gushing everywhere, so like a worried mother, I knew we had to take him to the vet. Luckily he didn’t need stitches, just some medicine and shots. He was so happy to be at the vet though, you wouldn’t even know he was hurt. He loves going to the vet… he thinks everyone is there to see him 😉 He is doing much better though!
More pics of Ruger this week because he is the cutest! We got him his own baby pumpkin to carve (haha), and he LOVED it. I have some really cute pics to share next week with this! Follow us on instagram for more too 🙂
You may have seen this on instagram, but I made some amazing donuts this week. I plan on putting them in my November newsletter, so make sure you sign up. Pumpkin Spice Latte donuts that are baked and so easy! I have an addiction to using my doughnut pan! I bough it years ago for my husband, but I think I have used it way more for myself lol. Check out my Strawberry ones and my blueberry muffin donuts too!
I can’t wait to share that recipe with you soon!
What are your plans for the weekend? It’s supposed to rain and be in the 70s, so I am super excited!

Love the pic of you and Ruger! Poor pup getting his head stuck! I would’ve totally freaked out if that happened to my pup. I’m not good in those situations. Glad he’s better now and now stitches were needed! Trish – tales from trish

I felt so bad for him! I got so concerned when I saw all the blood! Thanks Trish, have a great weekend!

Alanna @ Alanna & Company says
Glad Ruger is okay! I would definitely freak out too. I’m so glad Starla hasn’t gotten herself hurt or bleeding around me yet. I panic at things like that.
Alexis says
It’s so scary when our little babies get hurt!
Lynn says
Oh I am so glad your doggie is doing ok. They really are family. Glad to hear your temps are mellowing also. We are very dry here in Indiana and need rain. Hopefully soon. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.

Happy Friday! Hi from the red mountains of Utah! You look great in the pic w Ruger. Hope he’s recovering well. I know how scary it is when our fur babies get hurt. Hope you have a fab weekend!
Alexis says
That sounds beautiful!! Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!
Laura @ Life with Lolo says
So glad Ruger is ok after this fence incident! Gunner always loves going to the vet too, because everyone fawns over him and he loves the attention. You are the second person I’ve seen get a little pumpkin for their pup – I think I know what I’m doing this weekend!
Alexis says
I think that’s why Ruger likes it too! They are so silly! Yes, they love pumpkins! Your dog will have a blast!
Ashley @ The Wandering Weekenders says
I’m so glad that Ruger is ok! I didn’t realize that there was another dog out there that loved the vet as much as Dart, but it’s seriously the best thing ever that they love going there! I’m sure that you can relate, but no matter how bad they feel they’re still as happy as can be at the vet.
Alexis says
I know, it’s so sweet how they are always happy 🙂
Justine says
so glad your sweet pup is doing better! he is too cute 🙂

Olya @ The Siberian American says
Aww, poor Ruger! So glad he didn’t need stitches though. That photo of him with his pumpkin is adorable!
Alexis says
I’m so glad he didn’t either! Thank you! 🙂
Crystal says
Aww, glad your little (big!) guy is ok! Pet emergencies are the scariest! Most of my cats hate the vet, but I had one who looooved it, the whole “It is so nice of all of you to come here just to pay attention to me!” thing.
Alexis says
Lol that is so funny, but that is exactly how they act 🙂 I bet a cat being that way is even funnier to watch!
Esther says
Lovely post! Your dog is adorable, I’m so happy he’s doing better!

Love that to you cooler weather is 80’s and 70’s! Last weekend for us it was in the 30’s! Luckily, by mid-week it was beautiful and in the low 70’s. Glad to hear Ruger is okay! Poor thing. I have doughnut pans and rarely use them! I need to dust them off and bake something soon. Have a great weekend!
Alexis says
OMG the 30s!!!! I can’t imagine that so soon in the season! Have a great weekend!
Brittany says
