no dog pooping

we always have poopie bags with us when we go for a walk, but i guess the people that walk in this neighborhood don't. what gave me the first clue? um, this sign i found by some mailboxes. BOL

while the sign may seem silly, leaving poop behind is no laughing matter. it's a health issue. plus it's just not nice to leave your dog's poop on someone's property. do right by your neighbors, and your community, and pick up your dog's poop.

fountain failure + patriotic pooch

me: hey bailey, wanna take a picture by the fountain?


"ya, not really"

me: BOL, it looks like you're drinking from the fountain! can you please turn towards the camera?


me: ok, now would you please open your eyes?

"heh heh heh"

me: if you look at the camera, with your eyes open, i'll give you a treat!


"like THIS?"

me: ok, i give up. i guess sometimes it's just best to leave well enough alone. BOL

hot, hotter, hottest

we've been having some really hot temperatures lately but yesterday was a doozy. we topped out at 102! in these extreme weather conditions, it is recommended that you take it easy, wear loose fitting clothing & drink lots of cool water.


obviously the same goes for doggies. keep them indoors and have plenty of fresh water available for them at all times. and of course, do not leave them in a parked car. if you have to go out, leave your dog at home.


until we meet again my friends, stay cool-

a day at the beach

northern san diego county was pounded with brush fires yesterday forcing thousands to be evacuated from their schools, homes and workplaces. since daughter #1 just moved down to carlsbad, this is not the news i want to hear about. the fires are so close to her, her place of employment was one of the locations that had to be evacuated! when we talked yesterday, she said that she went straight home, got aoife and hit the beach to stay out of harms way. she was able to sleep at her apartment last night but told me that she had an evacuation bag by her bed, just in case.

i pray for the firefighters that have to battle these fires; i pray for the people that have lost their homes; and i pray that everyone stay safe.


UPDATE 9.30am: reports are saying the carlsbad fire is now 60% contained.

buckle up for safety

every time bailey gets in the car, she gets buckled up in her car seat.


she loves her car seat and never whines to get out.


it's her cozy place that keeps her safe.

no pictures

have you ever gone somewhere and got so distracted that you forgot to photograph your experience there? ya, that was me yesterday. we spent the afternoon at historic olvera street, in los angeles and i only took one picture. i hadn't been there in years and it was so much fun to see that nothing had changed, that i totally forgot to take pictures. i realized this on our way to the car, so i snapped a quick one at the last minute. my bad.

ready for bailey's mischief?

"i don't wanna take a picture!"

{this moment} see beautiful: the flower fields

we spent this past weekend in carlsbad (which is about 30 minutes north of san diego). while we were driving around, we stumbled upon the flower fields it is over 50 acres of beautiful flowers.


unfortunately they were closed at the hour we were there but we were able to drive around the side, and by standing on our car, i was able to reach over the fence, to take these pictures to share with you.


flowers to the left of me...


flowers to the right.
(did i just put a song bug in you stealers wheel fans? lol)


bailey was a bit tired from all we did over the weekend, but she is never one to complain. as long as she's with us, she's happy.
