Dog Sitting

So my bro and his fam headed to Disney World for the week, and I am dog and house sitting. It's kinda weird. You never realize how stuck in habit you are until it totally changes. Funny thing I never realized...you can get used to petting a certain type of dog. :)

See, I am used to petting these two:

Riley on the left and Cody on the right

And I am petting this one for the week:

Lily in her Christmas outfit this last Christmas

So you can see...I'm used to petting dogs and doing long hand strokes and getting a tired arm. With Lily I barely move my hand and I've covered the whole puppy. hehe.

Wonder if it'll be hard to go back to petting big doggies again. :)

Yes, the white flowers are silk flowers. :) hehe.

Michael Buble Concert!

Ellen and I headed to the Michael Buble concert on 6-25-10 and it was a blast!

The opening act is a group called Naturally 7, they do acapella/vocal play music. They call it vocal play as there are some members that 'play instruments' with their voices. They are totally awesome! Didn't get any video of them but did get some pics. :)

Michael Buble I swear is a bit like an energizer bunny...he just keeps dancing and moving around while performing, it is so entertaining. :) His rules for concerts are he wants it to be a party! If you want to sing, sing along as loud as you can. If you want to get up and dance, get up and dance. And if you are standing up in front of people and they are complaining to you to sit down, turn around and tell them to "**** off!" After that the crowd burst out in applause. It was hilarious.

In the middle he was telling how since he was 11 he's known he wanted to be a singer. And you would think Frank Sinatra and such would have been his idols. But actually he idolized Michael Jackson:

And the thing that made him want to perform was watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off:

He then went to a stage in the back of the floor and performed there for a couple of songs. He apologized to the people who paid good money for the front row, but all these other people paid good money too. Hehe. :)

At the end of the night Ellen and I went and got Naturally 7's autographs and their cd. My voice was exhausted and but was an awesome night. Hope you enjoy glimpes into the show. Here was my favorite performance/song...and it was in the encore:
