Happy Holidays!!
December 24, 2009Happy Fall!
November 3, 2009I am often amazed at the rate that time seems to zoom by – how is it possible that I have not posted on my blog in over a month? I apologize for getting so wrapped up in the “busy”ness of life! Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year. There is just something about all of the beautiful colors and the cool, crisp air that makes me feel giddy! It’s also the time of year when Cali’s allergies finally start to settle down and we begin to see our nearly eleven year old dog start to act like a young pup again! She loves the cold weather and you can tell by the gleam in her eye and the bounce in her step. We both feel invigorated by the cooler weather! I hope you are enjoying your Fall!!
Happy Fall!!
“Best Bully Sticks” Rocks!
July 27, 2009Every Friday, Cali gets a bully stick as a treat. She knows exactly what day Friday is, and she starts getting excited early in the day. If we forget, she stands around staring at us until we remember! She’s a pretty patient girl, but she knows what is coming on Friday and she wants to make sure we don’t forget her. She hasn’t had a bully stick in a few weeks because we’ve been trying to get her allergies under control, but this week we decided that she deserved it- she has had a rough few weeks dealing with allergies, hot spots and a bladder infection!
I found Best Bully Sticks on Twitter . . . I don’t know if you have ever purchased bully sticks for your dog, but they can be a little on the expensive side! Best Bully Sticks sent us a free sample and Cali has been patiently waiting to try it out. As you can see – Cali seemed very happy with the sample and we can’t wait to get on-line and buy some more! If you have a dog that loves bully sticks – check them out!! Their website is adorable and easy to navigate and their prices are GREAT!!
Here she is showing off her bully stick . . .she likes to parade it around when she first gets it 
I just love the way she holds the bully stick between her paws . . she looks pretty happy doesn’t she?
Thank you Best Bully Sticks for the sample . . .Cali LOVED it!!
Meet Benny & Tucker!
July 12, 2009I am lucky enough to live next door to some really cool people, Pam & Bill and their two adorable dogs Tucker & Benny. I found out soon after we moved in that Pam works for Project Pooch a non profit dog adoption program that pairs incarcerated youths with homeless shelter dogs. The incarcerated youths learn to train their dogs (with the guidance of professionals), groom them, and prepare them for new adoptive homes. It’s such a wonderful program! For many of the dogs, this is their last chance and as you can imagine, it’s a wonderful opportunity for the youths to learn some valuable life skills. Check out their website and consider donating to this wonderful non-profit!!
Pam & Bills’ dog Benny was trained by one of the youths in the program. Benny is a beautiful boy with big, brown, soulful eyes and he is a sweet pea! Tucker is the big brother and seems pretty happy about sharing his home with Benny. I took these pictures when I was at their house for a BBQ for Pam’s birthday (I’m sneaky that way . . .I’ve been wanting to photograph the boys!!) Hope you enjoy them!
This is handsome Benny, patiently waiting for something yummy to fall from the sky! I love the way he curls his paw under.
This is his handsome, head tilting brother, Tucker (I love the tongue! He is doing his best “look how cute I am, don’t you want to feed me?” routine!)
Benny was a little annoyed by the lady with the camera and was playing camera shy! (that’s his dad, Bill in the background)
Tucker was a little more accomodating!
Nope, still playing hard to get.
Tucker got a little bored since no one was sharing
And finally, a shot of those beautiful eyes!! Thanks Benny & Tucker, for putting up with the crazy lady with the camera! And thanks Pam & Bill for having us over! Happy Birthday Pam!!
Lucy the mini-Aussie
June 23, 2009I have known Lucy since she was a puppy! She is adorable and SO LOVABLE, she can never get close enough to you!! I love her to death and I was lucky enough to see her over the Memorial Day holiday. My dog Cali is always happy to see Lucy, they are old friends 
Every summer, Lucy gets a “summer cut” and when I saw her a couple days ago, she was already sporting her new do! So, stay tuned for more pictures of Lucy – she looks totally different with short hair (even more adorable!)
Cali is ready to get the ball if she doesn’t! Look how patient she is!
She is a perfect little model! Just taking a little break!
C’mon, throw it!
Did I mention that Lucy likes to get as close as possible? I don’t think she was finished with her photo shoot!!
This is my favorite shot of her- such a cutie!
