On Saturday morning, we checked out and said farewell before splitting up into separate cars for our drive home. Here's to a brand new year - love you all lots! ;) Ellen's morning out, for the win!

Hans, you are amazing! Happy birthday... ...for the big birthday cake surprise! Thanks for driving, Ellen. And for having for having such an accommodating lap. This is such a next level move to be casually driving around with two dogs on your lap. Hahah. Loading the crew back up. Ellen picked me up bright and early Thursday morning for a dog party hiking trip. FOUR DOG CAR PARTY. She arrived with Piper and The Dude and I rolled up with Maddy and Edie. Aww, Piper! Brought the pack back to mine to hang. Group portrait from our last day at The Turquoise Barn . Happy February 2015!

Later that evening, Jared & Ellen joined us... On Sunday night Ellen came back from her trip to St. Lucia and came over to our place to claim her nugget! On Sunday Ellen came over!

Later that evening, Matt and Ellen came over to welcome us back home! Yay! Such party professionals! Ellen and Piper! On Saturday morning, we met up with Ellen and Quinn! Ellen couch-crashed on Friday night! We awoke to the very first sunny, spring-like day of the year. Couch-crew awaiting our delivered Thai feast! Piper supervised the eating process. On Thursday night Ellen came over for a home cooked meal (and to drop Piper off with us for a few days!) ...after Maddy was finished kissing her face... And we stayed up late looking at photos on my computer. Ellen gets tired waiting two years for me to post photos on this site, so sometimes when she's over she likes to get a sneak peeks into what's coming down the line (eventually). Hahah. Admiring our dog collection with hot chocolate. Later that evening, Ellen came over for a hang. We fed her lots of home cooked food and then settled in for... We stuffed the dogs in bags... Double-stacked buddies. Haha. Oh yeah, free Bloody Marys too. Ellen , Piper and Mer. NO HANDFACE. In other news, Leigh discovered that Piper doesn't like HANDFACE one bit!

We love you! Check out how zonked out Piper is. Hahah. On Sunday night Ellen came over with Piper. Piper's tongue is too long to fit in her mouth so it always peeks out. On Saturday night Ellen came over! Happy September 2008! Ellen trying out the drink hat. Ellen was there with Piper (who looks like she's trying to nurse in this photo! Ew!) Happy Birthday, Ellen! We love you! Look at me totally off my mark! I was pulling my best tough guy face when everyone else had clearly decided (even Piper!) that it was a cute and cuddly moment. Check out Piper's tongue! As soon as we saw it sticking out in this photo, we decided to play our favorite Piper-game... Here's Ellen a couple minutes later after she'd gotten all settled in (Drink. Hair Pulled Back. Dog Unpacked). I love how Piper looks all cute and frisky in this photo... Then on Tuesday night, Ellen and Piper came over. Our official first guests in the new apt!

(This is my favorite photo of Ellen in the whole wide world!) Ellen and Piper. Piper wasn't very happy about the placement of her backstage pass... Piper the beleaguered pooch eventually found safe-haven in mom's lap. Piper Incognito. As "those two" got closer, we realized it was Ellen and Leigh and that we'd just been busted checking out our own friends! Ellen was there with Piper... Later that afternoon, Mer and I went to Tompkins Square to relax in the grass and read. We looked up from our books and saw two totally hot chicks crossing the park with tiny dogs. We were like "Whoa, check out those two." On Tuesday night I hung out with Ellen and Piper. That is all. And speaking of dogshit...the most exciting news of the night was that Ellen (seen here with John) had brought her new puppy, Piper, to Misshapes! Hahaha. Look at her lil' bat ears! Piper has expressive eyebrows and a tongue that's too long for her mouth so the tip is always peeking out. Here's me out on the street wishing Piper the puppy and Ellen a good night.
