I love my pets, that should be rather obvious to anyone who knows me. I don't think I'd ever survive without some by my side. Like humans I've always found it amazing how personalities differ with these creatures. Scared-y dogs and fearless cats. 

Something that has grabbed me of late was the death of my puppy-Ollie who is feature greatly in this blog and in these pictures. It's strange on some level I feel as if I should apologize for being so sad over his death, he was just a dog. But that's ridiculous. I've lived beside him for eleven years, his been a constant companion, a friend. He's sat with me as I've read, he's gone on great adventures with me, and he's been there every morning when I got home from work.  He was as real as any person I've known; and even if you've only read a few of my posts you should be able to recognize how much I loved him. So I shouldn't feel like I need to apologize for being heartbroken over losing my yellow puppy. 

I still have a couple outfits that I need to put up that has him parading beside me, it's a little strange, but then I'm so grateful that he was by my side so much that my camera caught many cute photos of him. That being said I've been having a hard time even editing them, which is one reason I've taken a little break from this outfit journal of mine. But now I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things. Also I think it's perfect to have a post about my puppy on Valentine's Day, last year he shared in my outfit as well. 
P.S. Here's a few adorable pictures of Ollie.

The title of this blog post sounds like it should be a children's story. If it was, a puppy, a cat, and a human would wander into an old deserted farm land and be sucked into a land of old where magic and disaster is. Maybe not too much of a children's story I suppose.

I might have gone a little overboard with the pictures, but when you have such a cute puppy that wants to be photographed, it's hard to say enough. I was feeling very forest-y this day, and so dressed in browns and greens to match. I think all my animals enjoyed the walk about the farm, though I should be more practical and leave the heels behind.

It is finally starting to warm up. Right now the sun is shining and it's nearing forty degrees outside. It was a great morning as I finally managed to get a run into my schedule. I love running because I love being outside, it is as simple as that. Now after that exhausting run, I'm going to take a lazy day and enjoy the sunshine.
