In the Army Now...

I finally finished my first big project - a military jacket for Oakley to match Jeff's new ACUs.
Jeff even ordered a name plate to make it official. Oakley worked with Jeff at the recruiting office this week "in uniform" and was pretty proud of himself...well, he should be, he was promoted from 2nd Lt. to a 1-star general in a matter of a few hours...

Oakley is still a mama's boy though, he wanted to escape to the rest of the mall and go shopping...

This is Oakley...

Super funny story about his new boots. Jeff and I were in the Twin Cities before he had to head back to Benning and we stopped at a few of our favorite stores before he had to go. One of them, on Grand Avenue in St. Paul, had a whole selection of dog boots (which we have been searching for for a while!)...Jeff was determined to get a pair (quad??) and worked with the saleslady to find the perfect pair. Oakley finally got a set on and walked around the store in them for about 20 minutes...when I realized that the boots he was wearing were 90 DOLLARS!! Okay, I often don't even spend that on me...so for the dog?!?! We decided against them at the time and took them off. Poor O stood by the display and wouldn't budge...he WANTED those shoes! Poor thing...

After doing some searching online I found them on ebay, brand new for 40 bucks...
