precious cargo, handle with care

hubby was hauling building material from one end of the yard to the other and bailey thought it would be fun to go for a ride on the dollie.


how could we say no to this face? so, we grabbed a storage tub and off she went.


looks like she was enjoying it, right?

a little lower please

what's up with bailey? is she attempting a somersault?

"a little lower please."

nope, no somersaults here, just a good ol' butt scratching! she needs to put her head down for support, otherwise she'll topple over. BOL

"YES, that's the spot! ahhh."

winnie the pooh day

who doesn't love winnie the pooh? he was created by alan alexander "a.a." milne for his son, christopher robin, and was inspired by his son's own stuffed bear. 18 january was chosen to be winnie the pooh day, because that is the day a.a. milne was born!


winnie the pooh did not become part of the disney family until 1961.
♫ winnie the pooh, winnie the pooh
chubby, little cubby all stuffed with fluff.
he's winnie the pooh, winnie the pooh,
willy, nilly, silly old bear. ♫

flashback friday

i'm flashing back to 2 weeks ago (new years eve) when bailey was awaiting 2016 to arrive. i didn't get a chance to post this picture earlier but i thought it was so cute because it really looks like she is getting excited for the new year to arrive. you can see the anticipation in her eyes.
plus i just love her profile.

dress up your pet day

for bailey, every day is dress up your pet day. i know a lot of dogs don't like being dressed. aoife, for example, doesn't care for it and actually throws a tantrum when daughter #1 puts a shirt on her. she doesn't even like to put on her harness for her walk! luckily bailey doesn't mind at all and will wear anything i put on her.

product review: wellness petite dog treats

look bailey, a box from chewy with your name on it!

"what's inside?!? can we open it now?"

i chose the wellness petite treats because bailey has trouble eating larger treats. since these are made for small breed dogs, i thought they'd be easier for her to handle.

"duck, mango & coconut? sounds yummy!"

bailey was instantly intrigued by their scent. the package says "crunchy mini-bites." boy, they aren't kidding. she tried to chew one but, as usual, it was too hard for her. even i had trouble breaking it. i had to smash it with my coffee mug. once it was broken for her, she gobbled it up. she enjoyed it so much, i gave her another. and another! the package says there are over 150 treats per bag! i'll take their word for that.


"you know what? these taste gr-r-reat!"

quick facts:
only 3 calories per treat
grain-free
no meat-by products, corn, wheat, soy
contains flaxseed to promote a healthy, shiny coat
formulated to meet the unique needs of small breed dogs
product of canada


ingredient list:
duck, turkey meal, dried ground potatoes, tapioca flour, cane molasses, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), pea fiber, mango, flaxseed, coconut flakes, mixed tocopherols added to preserve freshness, rosemary extract.


btw: chewy.com provided us with the package of treats in exchange for our honest opinion of the product. the opinion stated in this review was written by me and was not copy supplied by wellness or chewy.

to delete or not to delete

that is the question i ask myself when i get a picture that i'm not totally in love with. as is the case with this picture. bailey was sitting next to a window and i liked how her profile looked, so i took her picture. this is the untouched, original photo. yuk!


it didn't turn out how i thought it would and i almost deleted it. then i started playing around with it in photoshop to try and fix it. i tried playing with the exposure, with the color, then i tried adding a filter and boo-yah. a photo that would have ended up "on the cutting room floor" ended up with an entire post dedicated to it's resurrection.

bee

it was so much fun having bee here for the holidays and i think she enjoyed her visit as well. she absolutely loved our sunny backyard. isn't she a cutie?


we have dog beds in every room of our house but where did she choose to cuddle up for a nap? on top of my new christmas pillow!


her favorite pastime was to sit on the chair and look out the window, which is something she can't do living on the 27th floor in a nyc apartment.
when daughter #2's stint in new york is over, i think bee would enjoy being a california dog.

3 beauties, sunbathing in the buff!

we had wonderful weather for the holidays and the doggies were enjoying every minute of it.


you know it's nice weather if bailey's not dressed! BOL


of course aoife was here, (with daughter #1 from san diego),


and bee came all the way from new york (with daughter #2)!


there was a little tension between the grand dogs, but nothing we couldn't handle. they had only met once before and that was a year ago, so it was understandable.
