A rare moment this weekend where ScoutDog was brave enough to venture out of the bathroom between firework blasts to peek out the window ... I captured a little father/puppy bonding this afternoon.

... In other news ... this weekend we took my parents up to Blackhawk for some belated-Father's Day celebrating with some fun at the Blackjack tables and slot machines. ... The boys didn't do so well ... It was all about lady luck this weekend.

During my first try at Blackjack, I had six blackjacks. Wicked cool beans. And then my mom took some spins at the $1 slots and won $50.

Pack your bags ... we're headin' to Vegas baby.
