national coffee day

today is national coffee day!!! [like i need a special day to enjoy my coffee. ha! i am the coffeedog, afterall]. bailey felt she has been left out of this national celebration for far too long. she insisted on her own delicious beverage. well, i'm not gonna give her a cup of coffee but i will give her a homemade puppuccino!

you should have seen her marble eyes when she realized this cup was for her! they doubled in size. BOL

"salud amigos!"

deer hunting

what has got bailey huffing & puffing?

let me start by saying that no deer were harmed in the making of this post.
the other day, we went deer hunting. no, not to kill them. gawd no! we went to photograph them. hubby works in the neighborhood and regularly sees them, so he brought me and bailey to see if we can find some.

do you see what bailey sees? she's right by the front door.

how about now. is she still too far?

ok, how's this. bailey didn't bark at her but she did huff & puff.

we saw lots of does and their fawns and we even found a young buck! can you see his little fuzzy antlers?

here's a little video of him. bailey and hubby stayed in the car while i got out to get a quick video before he disappeared into the thicket.

happy anniversary to us!

yesterday, hubby and i celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary! [where has the time gone?] we all went out for an italian dinner at caffe allegro and splurged with drinks AND dessert! [we never do that].

"which one is mine?"

"i've heard my friend ruby talk about margaritas,
but i've never seen one before."

"it's all gone? and you didn't give me a taste?!? pfft."

let's go antiquing

hubby and i love to go antiquing. i think bailey enjoys it too. we try to make it as interesting as possible for her.

this old buggy was her perfect size!

it looks like she knows exactly where she's going, doesn't it?

there aren't many things that really grab bailey's attention like this chair did. she normally just minds her own business and will sniff something if we point it out to her.

this chair was a different story. i don't know what it smelled like but she just couldn't get enough of it.

a day of antiquing is hard work for a little chihuahua.

squeaky poop?

yep. you read that right. squeaky poop. did i mention it's a toy? my bad. BOL. this is one pile of poop that is ok for fido to play with. bailey can't squeak the two squeakers that are hidden inside, so she just uses it as a pillow. aoife, on the other hand paw, squeaks it nonstop!

{52 snapshots of life} #labor

for this week's photo challenge, we are doing things a little different.

i know the 52 snapshots of life is a photo challenge, but there is a song by lee brice, that pays homage to the blue collar workers of our country. the video shows truck drivers, factory workers, farmers... the working class that rarely get the respect they deserve. i think it's the perfect song to represent labor. i hope you enjoy it.

dog on a mission

"i am a dog on a mission. we need an old door. so where does one go for an old door you ask? habitat for humanity restore of course. they have lots to choose from. plus the money goes to a good cause."

"look at all those doors! but what are these sinks doing here?"

"looks like we should have come in our truck instead of our suv!
oh well, mission accomplished."

perfect is overrated

once upon a time, bailey knew how to sit up and beg like a pro, as you can see in this picture from 2011. look at that form. perfect.
then she had her accident and lost her balance. but...

we are working on that. she still has to hold on for balance and hubby needs to keep his hand on her backside for added support but that's ok. rome wasn't built in a day. i'm not sure if she'll ever regain her perfect balance but, well, i think perfect is overrated anyway.

aoife saw that we were giving treats just for sitting up, and being the show off that she is, she had to come and show bailey how it's done. yes aoife, i know you know how to sit up and beg. good girl.

1909 temecula

another road trip and bailey is asleep before we even hit the freeway!

"hi temecula! we're ba-aack."

we went to 1909 yesterday because guess what they have?
a dog menu!

after bailey & aoife perused their menu, they decided on the chicken breast with wild rice.

i forgot to take a picture of their meal before they attacked it but i managed to get this one before it was completely gone. the girls loved it and give this place 8 paws up.
thanks for thinking of your canine customers, 1909! see you next time we are in town.
