looks like fall

the calendar says it’s fall and the yard says it’s fall, but i think mother nature forgot to turn the page on her calendar because the weather is still summer! hopefully she will notice the date and act accordingly.

AGAIN #WildlifeWednesday

what has this guy been up to lately? well...

he has found his way up to the bird feeder, AGAIN!

look how high off the ground it is! we were sure he couldn’t reach it here. we were wrong.

we saw him do it. first he jumped on the faucet, then he just climbed right up the wall (like a lizard) and onto the wall planter! who knew squirrels could climb a wall! i guess we have to move the feeder, AGAIN.

bailey’s terrible day

oh dear. yesterday was terrible for bailey. just look at the panic on her face! what in the world could have gotten bailey in such a tizzy?

a fly.

yes, a fly. she goes into a panic attack whenever a fly makes it’s way into our house. i kill them within moments but the damage is done. we tried everything to distract her and to help her shake this feeling but our efforts were in vain. she was like this for hours.

do you have a fur baby that goes into panic attacks? what causes them and what do you do to help them through it?

under the weather

i’ve been a little under the weather ever since i came back from new york, but bailey has been right by my side, or on top of me, all week. no matter how many times i scare her with my cough, she stays right with me. thanks bailey.

up in a tree #ThrowbackThursday

there are a lot of words i can use to describe bailey but adventurous is definitely not one of them. but back in 2011, she was fearless and thought nothing about being put up in a tree.

40 winks wednesday

yesterday as bailey was catching 40 winks, i noticed something very unusual. well, unusual for bailey. do you see it?

she was napping with her paws crossed, on 9/11. i know many dogs cross their paws regularly, my grand doggie does it all the time, but bailey doesn’t. for her to cross them yesterday, of all days, was beautiful.

until we meet again my friends-

9/11

i try to keep bailey’s blog as lighthearted and happy as i can but today i have no words, so i think i’ll just leave you with a little video i took on my visit to the 9/11 memorial back in 2013.

homegoods happy

bailey got homegoods happy this weekend.

we are trying to train her in the shopping cart. we padded it with her blankies and gave her tiny pieces of her favorite treat every time she sat down. she was a good girl and did very well.

camo on camo

i think bailey saw me gathering her shampoo and towel because she tucked herself under her camouflage afghan. she probably thinks i can’t see her because she is wearing a camouflage shirt. BOL

bailey’s conundrum

bailey was cozy under her afghan when i put her dinner down. oh no, she’s cold but she’s hungry. it’s a conundrum for sure.

no problemo. she just brought her blankie with her! BOL

chilling in my tree

this one’s getting ready to jump up to the bird feeder

they are usually up in the trees or walking on the wall but this guy came down to the lawn!

we even had a CAT visit!!! say what!?

bailey is usually pretty chill when it comes to squirrels around the yard but even she has had enough!

i hope you enjoyed seeing our backyard wildlife as much as i enjoyed sharing it with you.

peaceful morning

we had a very peaceful morning yesterday. hubby and i had coffee out on the patio, in the company of all the furry and feathered friends that kept coming and going. (look for pics tomorrow.)

bailey also enjoyed her morning.
