today is a double whammy
firstly, it's bailey's gotcha day!!!
3 years ago today bailey became a member of our family. who knew what a huge impact a 4# chihuahua would make on our lives. 3 years ago she was a homeless doggie roaming the streets of southern california and today she is a princess. can you imagine this little thing, alone, on the streets? she must have been so scared. well, she will never be scared or alone again. that is a promise we made to her 3 years ago and a promise we will keep forever.
secondly, it's thanksgiving!
a day to give thanks for the gifts that life has bestowed upon you.
a day to give thanks for your friends and family, near or far. whether your family walks on two legs or four, swims, flies or slithers, family is family.
and a day to give thanks for your blogging buddies!
we will be enjoying a quiet thanksgiving this year; just me, hubby and bailey. (no giant feast = no messy kitchen to clean up! yay.)

happy thanksgiving everyone!
and to our blogging friends outside of the us, happy thursday!

light my fire
with winter just around the corner and a chill in the air, it's time to crank on the heater and light the fireplace. though we don't care much for the colder weather, we do love to sit by the fire under a cozy blankie.

monday mischief? not really.
i don't have much mischief to report today. we hit a local coffee shop over the weekend and bailey was very well behaved. she sat calmly on daddy's lap while we enjoyed our coffee alfresco.
bailey loves to people watch.
waiting for a kiss from daddy.
imposter! her ears are too big and her snout is too long. doesn't she look different? BOL
when our coffee cups are empty, bailey is ready to go.

sunshine on my shoulders
the past couple of days have been very sunny and very hot. actually a bit too sunny and hot for my taste, but chihuahua bailey has been loving it. here she is, enjoying the setting sun on our back patio. she wants to spend every possible moment with mr sun before he has to say adios to another day.

dancing machine
she's a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine,
watch her get down, watch her get down,
as she do, do, do her thing,
right on the scene.

what's more exciting than a car ride?
bailey is a very patient passenger. when we put her into her car seat, she settles right in and gets cozy for her trip. she has no idea if it will be a 10 minute jaunt or an 8 hour trek but she knows when we put the car into park, we've arrived at our destination. she sits right up and is anxious to see where the journey has taken her. after we unbuckle her, she is ready to fly out of the car and into her adventure.
so, what's more exciting than a car ride? discovering the adventures that await beyond the car door.

pick me up?
this is a very common sight here at casa bailey. if she sees that i'm on my feet, she's happy to stay in her bed but the moment she sees me sit down, she is asking for lap. it doesn't matter how comfy she is in her bed, if i sit down, she wants lap.

{this moment} see beautiful
these are some random sites i saw while in new york visiting daughter #2. even though the first two are memorials, they are beautiful reminders of the beautiful lives that were taken too soon.
"imagine" the memorial to john lennon:
this was much larger than i expected it to be. i wish i could have gotten a full picture but there were too many tourists standing around, trying to get a picture.
one of the memorial pools:
wow. just, wow.
the freedom tower:
new york rebuilds and goes on.
"life underground":
there are lots of funny little statues scattered throughout the 14th street subway station. this sewer alligator was my favorite.
washington square arch:
modeled after the arc de triomphe in paris.
and most importantly, bailey:
even when she gets too close to the camera.

princess and the pea
bailey is convinced that she is a princess.
to test her claim, i hid a pea under this stack of beds. she tossed and turned but just couldn't get comfortable enough to fall asleep. maybe she really is a princess!

paso robles
after leaving aoife and daughter #1 in monterey, bobbing head chihuahua supervises our way home.
in 1955, at the junction of highways 41 & 46, james dean died in a terrible car crash. we passed the sign that marks the location of that crash in cholame. rip james dean :(
a couple of hours out of monterey, we passed through paso robles. we needed to stretch our legs, so we stopped at the downtown city park before the long trek back down to so cal. bailey found this statue next to a fire hydrant. BOL
i tried to research the statue but couldn't find any info about it in time for this post.
the only thing i know is what the plaque says:
"a man's best friend" by christopher bell 1998

red roof inn
this past weekend we drove up to monterey to deliver aoife back to daughter #1 {insert sad face} and to help her set up her new dog friendly apartment {insert happy face}. while up there, we stayed at the red roof inn. their website says they are pet friendly and [bonus] pets stay free! {insert big happy face!}
as we were walking to our room, i saw the worst kind of mischief.
check out the sign they have posted:
say what?!? i don't understand how a "pet friendly" hotel can post this sign. sooo, dogs can stay at the hotel, but they can't walk on the property? what kind of sense does that make? plus, there was no designated potty area. so, where do they expect the dogs to do their business? would they rather they relieve themselves in the rooms? of course we ignored their signs and so did the other guests that were there with their dogs. phooey on the red roof inn.
oh, and no, we won't be staying there next time we visit.
