flower power

don't you just love spring? there are bursts of color everywhere.

the past couple of days have been really windy and on yesterday's walk bailey found a piece of palm tree bark that had blown off of the tree. she was afraid to approach it at first but after she gathered her courage, she thought it was quite interesting.

5 years yesterday

yesterday hubby came home with a beautiful spring bouquet. why? because bailey unleashed had an anniversary. i've been blogging about little bailey for five years.

"cinco años? ay, chihuahua!"

yes, little bailey. i can hardly believe it myself!
thanks to all of our friends for allowing us into their computers, tablets & phones. we appreciate each and every one of you.

empty nest

this is the last picture i got of our little hummingbirds in their nest because yesterday they flew away. i can't believe how fast they grew. i could see them growing every day. it was only 2 weeks ago that i posted their birth announcement!

first to leave the nest, baby #1 flew to the beam of our patio roof and just sat there. momma came for a little bit and gave her lunch.

baby #2 flew straight out to our yard, hovered for a bit, then flew up and over our house. her sibling saw her leave and flew right after her.

i'm so glad i was able to watch them fly off but at the same time, i'm kinda sad to see them go. they had become part of our family. because their nest was in a chandelier and not in a tree, we would see them every day from our dining room. i sure am gonna miss them.

when momma bird came back her babies were gone. she went to the beam where baby #1 was sitting, but she was gone. then she went to the nest to look for baby #2, and she was gone too. she went back and forth, looking for her babies. it broke my heart. she came back a few more times looking for them and it was sad for me to watch each time.
good-bye little birdies. don't forget there is always a full feeder on my patio if you want a free meal.

can your dog tell time?

aoife can. she tells me when it's time for lunch, dinner and even when it's time for her bedtime snack! if you could make out the time on the cable box under the tv, you would see that it was 8:00 on the nose; the exact time of her bedtime snack. this is the look she gives me to get my attention. if i ignore her, she will become vocal.

product review: orijen free-run duck singles freeze-dried dog treats

"the nice man in the big truck brought me a box from chewy!"

"you gonna open this package or not!?"

"nom nom"

now that you know bailey's review, let me tell you mine. BOL
the treats we are reviewing this month, courtesy of chewy.com, are orijen free-run duck singles freeze-dried dog treats. they are single source treats that bailey loved. they are also freeze-dried, which make them easier for little mouths to chew.
according to the orijen website, their duck is raised cage-free, on natural grains and well water, in québec canada. if you are counting calories, each treat contains 7. bailey and i give this product our seal of approval.
check out their ingredient list: duck & duck liver. period.

of course these are treats and are not meant to take the place of your dog's meal. we use them as an evening snack and as a tempting treat during picture taking. they are also perfect to take along on walks as a tasty munchie.

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 orijen or chewy.

st. paddy's day 2016

they say everyone is irish on st. patrick's day. does that include a wee mexican chihuahua with an irish name?

nothing says irish more than a chihuahua in an aran sweater and a leprechaun hat. BOL

uh oh, the shenanigans have begun.

"kiss me, i'm irish-ish."

hand-me-down collar

i made a collar for bailey but the finished size was a bit larger than i had anticipated. no worries, it was a perfect fit for aoife!

national barbie day

can you believe barbie is 57 years old today? on this day, in 1959, she made her debut at the international toy fair in new york.

i don't know how these dolls survived but these are my original barbies from my childhood. on the left is my twist & turn barbie and on the right is skooter (barbie's little sister's best friend). i don't know where my other barbies ended up but i'm glad i at least have these two.

"happy birthday barbie!"
