You've heard the term "Hunting Widow" before, right? When Chris goes hunting, I hear there "oh, I'm so sorry you're a Hunting Widow this weekend" at least a half-dozen times.
Thing is... this HW doesn't mind a bit. It gives me an excuse to spend a special weekend with Brielle. And we made it special, with snuggling in bed, playing games, loads of shopping, lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and a ReAL Salt Lake game.
Now, Brielle has never been to the Cheesecake Factory, so rather than have you imagine the joy she felt when looking at all the difference cheesecake options, I just took a picture.
It's a tough decision, even for me. She settled on a Lemon Raspberry, although the one with Caramel, Butterfinger and Peanut Butter Cups was a close runner up.
I think she likes it...
After our 4000 calorie lunch, we headed down to Alpine to visit with cousins and see how big the Dane puppy was growing. Just for kicks... this was Daisy the Dane back in August...
And this is Daisy now...
...complete with paws the size of... well, my own hand.
Yes, 3 months and probably 100 lbs of food will do this to a Great Dane. They'll grow. Fast. And large. Keep in mind that she's only about months old, and won't reach full growth until the age of 1 to 1 1/2.
The game was fantastic, putting ReAL in the Western Conference Playoffs, which means another game next Saturday. This time though, it won't be just us girls. The hunter has returned.
