Mal received an early Christmas present this year! Well, technically, he bought it for himself, but it’s quite the present!
Here’s his new 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i. Needless to say, he is so psyched!
Making it official!
I just have to say that we had a really wonderful experience at Colonial Chevrolet in Acton, MA. You never know how things are going to go at a car dealership. I always feel so skeptical of car salesmen. But, our sales guy, Dave Fillmore, treated us really well. He was honest and straightforward– and Mal got a great deal!
Mal traded in his beloved 1997 Jeep Wrangler. She was a great truck for all of those years. It was tough for him to say goodbye.
Before heading to the car dealership, we packed a couple of lunches to go: peanut butter and banana sandwiches on whole wheat bread.
A couple of pears.
And Starbucks! I had an eggnog misto. LOVE them! š
During our morning errands, we stopped at Maggie’s Dog House in Hingham to pick up Murphy’s “special” food. We have him on Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul, which is actually pretty tough to find in the Boston area. Luckily, Maggie’s carried it.
Check out the amazing cookie dog treats that were sold at Maggie! I couldn’t get over how adorable they were! Of course, Murphy got a couple for his Christmas stocking! š
The cookies looked so delicious, even I’d eat them!
We just decided to go out to dinner before a friend’s holiday party, so I need to get ready ASAP!
Enjoy the evening, bloggies!

I would eat those cookies, they all look really, REALLY good … especially the peanut butter cup ones š

Boutique dog treats always look so good! But then I remember they probably don’t taste thaaaat good š
Tina, you were literally a minute from my house! I live in downtown Hingham. I don’t know if you got the chance to meet Kim the owner, but she bakes all the dig treats.
Congrats on the new vehicle!
Hunni and I bought fancy dog cookies like that once and he was curious so he ate one too š He said they weren’t too bad actually.
What an exciting purchase!
Those dog treats definitely look good enough for humans. Maybe you wouldn’t know the difference… š

Murphs a lucky doggie. I love buying exciting treats like that for our little rat. Too bad they barely even chew them.
What an adorable pet shop! I’d love to spoil my Barkley there š
Also, that car is a great color! I had an ’04 Kia in “blueberry” that looked pretty similar…
Congrats on the new car! Always sad to say goodbye to a beautiful Jeep though. š

New cars are always so fun. I bet you got a great deal on the car-YIPPEE!
Oh my, the doggie cookies are incredible! I think I’d eat them, too! So cute š

those dog treats do look delicious – i’m often tempted to eat some whenever i’m in a pet store.
That is one gourmet dog bakery. Congrats on the new car – fun!
Yay for the new car, Subaru’s are great! What a cute dog store, I’ll have to search for one around here.
congrats on the new car!
I seriously just bought a Subaru (Outback) too! I love my car, it’s got a great warranty and it’s amazing in my winter snow. I hope you both/he likes it!
I had looked at the Imprezas, but fell in love with my Outback!
I love old school jeeps š They just seem so manly and rugged for some reason!
Presidente is a Dominican beer. My googling indicates that there are rumors it was recently sold to a Mexican company. In any event, I am Dominican and had it in DR-it tastes different here-something about the shipping time, heating temperature. It really is a good beer and Dominican Republic-it’s our signature drink:).
in Dominican Republic not and…
congrats on the car! I want a new one now too. š
Excitement! Glad you guys had a good experience at the dealer. I had to buy a new car this summer and it was terrifying! All those numbers being thrown at me! I didn’t know what was up! Glad I walked out with the car I wanted and a good interest rate though š And it’s the same pretty blue as Mal’s new car!
I traded in my Jeep Wrangler for a Subaru Impreza too!(That was a few years ago) I LOVE my Subaru , I bet Mal will too!
I love the new car… what kind of car do you drive?? Do you think that you will get a subaru aswell, when you NEED a new car??
Congratulations on the car! It’s so hard to find honest car salesmen these days. š
