Hunny Bunny- Weekend Challenge

Hi everyone!
Today I want to share with you a few photos that I have taken of my dog Hunny. If you are wondering why I spell her name like that instead of the proper way, then read on!
 
When I was little, we used to drive by this place called Hunny's Cafe, and I had a habit of trying to impress my mom by telling her that I could spell out words. One day, I told my mom that I could spell honey, and she waited for me to spell it. As we drove by Hunny's Cafe, I looked out the window and told her that honey was spelled "H-U-N-N-Y." It's been a running joke in my family ever since.
 
I wasn't even supposed to get Hunny. My sister wanted a puppy, so we went out looking for a black standard poodle. We found Emma a dog, but also unexpectedly found me one too! I like to think that Hunny chose me, because when the breeders put her in my lab, she put her little paws on my chest and sniffed my face, inspecting me. I felt like we immediately connected. I had thought that if I got this dog, I would name her Hunny, spelled just like that.
 
Hunny has been a part of my family for three years now. I got her when she was just a puppy, so she is three years old. As the years have gone on, I have gotten accustomed to her personality and the way that we work together. She's a bit stubborn, not very clingy (unless we have special circumstances), and kind of a pain to groom. But even with her imperfections, I love her- a lot. I call her by many nicknames, but one of my favorites is Hunny Bunny, because she used to hop around like a bunny! She's one of my best friends, and I think that she is a great dog, even though she can be less than obedient at times. 
 
As mentioned before in this post here, Hunny's favorite color is pink. So this picture is very much "her."
 
 
I think that she has the prettiest eyes, and the most adorable face, so these photos are going to feature some of her cutest facial expressions.



 
That's me in the last photo. Just taking a moment to close my eyes with my dog in my arms, that's all. ;)
 
Because it is Friday, it is time to issue a new weekend challenge! Your weekend challenge is to dress up in honor of your pet. It can be any pet that you have- a horse, a turtle, a lizard, or even a goldfish! Just find something to wear that is inspired by your pet. And if you don't have a pet, then wear something inspired by your favorite animal, or an animal that you wish was your pet. Send me a photo of you and your pet looking alike to uniquelyyou4ever@gmail.com
 
I hope to be receiving your photos soon!

Lucille's BBQ and Hiking

Hi everyone!
How was your day? I started mine early, which actually is starting to grow on me. I enjoy getting up in the morning and getting my school done early, so I can focus on the rest of my day. Today I went with my mom to visit my grandma, who we call Nanny. We started the day with Nanny at Lucille's BBQ. I absolutely love it at Lucille's- the entire atmosphere is so southern, and I'm completely charmed by it! Especially because some of the restaurant has a southern, vintage vibe to it. That is where we sat today. Take a look!
 

These are pictures of the outside porch areas. Too cute!
 


 
Lunch was pretty fabulous as well.
 
I love their peach tea- and you can have the waiter fill up a cup to-go! I love that!

 
Their biscuits and apple butter is something that I always look forward to at Lucille's.
 
 
The main course- a pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. Let's just say that I was in my happy place.
 
 
After our day with Nanny, the three of us (Emma, my mom, and I) went for a hike. We really enjoy getting out and seeing nature, and getting some much needed exercise. It's so cool to walk around in the outdoors and enjoy all of the scenery that God has created!
 
One of our resting spots.


 
Our dirty, tired feet!

 
So that was my adventure of the day! It may not seem very adventurous to you, or even to me, but it definitely beats sitting on a couch watching TV all day! Now I get to sit down for a bit and relax.
I'll talk to you soon!

Treasure Island- Weekend Challenge Complete!

Hi everyone!
The weekend is over, and Monday is back. But we can look forward to a new week full of new opportunities! I am looking forward to a fun week, even though I may not have anything in particular to look forward to.
 
So, did anyone complete the weekend challenge? I did start reading a book, but I haven't finished it yet.
 
 
I bought Treasure Island a couple of years ago, and I still haven't finished it! I'm not a fan of nautical books because they're fairly predictable- you know, sailing on the blue sea, some battles, and of course, a storm or two. I prefer more intricate stories, full of intrigue. I do like fun, fluffy books too, but I love a good adventure. I've tried reading this book twice, but failed to complete the book both times. But I'm vowing to finish it this time, even if it takes me an uncomfortably long time.
 
What are your favorite types of books to read?
