bailey & the lizard

oh my goodness, bailey's mischief making shenanigans were like none i've ever seen before when she came face to face ...
with a lizard!

i'm not sure if she wanted to play with it or devour it. i've never seen her so focused on something for so long. (she can be a little scatterbrained at times.) there wasn't much reaction from the lizard. i think the poor little guy just wanted to sleep because night was falling and the weather was cooling down.



later that night when she went out to do her "business" she remembered about the lizard and went to look for him in the sprinkler where he was hiding. of course he was long gone and probably sound asleep under a rock somewhere. she gave the yard a good once-over, and when she was satisfied that he was gone, she came back inside.

benny's hugs & kisses day

today is hugs & kisses day in celebration of benny's life. stinkin' cancer took him, just like it took my precious kibbles. but let's not be sad for those that have left us, let's rejoice for the time they were with us. (i say, as tears well up in my eyes.) come on everyone, it's time for a love fest.

toy support

i think bailey's head must be too heavy to hold up because she is using a toy to help support it! BOL

pawdicure

bailey's nails grow like weeds, so when she gets a pawdicure, she likes to sit like a little lady and show off her dainty little hands paws.

diy clothesline (supervised by bailey)

turning a house into a home is all in the details, inside and out. for example, our home does not have a clothesline, like my childhood home did. my yard is long and narrow so installing a typical clothesline would take yard space that i cannot spare. i started looking online for an idea that we could adapt to our yard and our style. this is what we ended up doing.

materials used:
- bicycle wheel
- nipple
- bushing
- coupling
- galvanized pipe
- umbrella base

the only real work was finding the right size nipple to fit into the wheel. from there it was just a matter of screwing the bushing, the coupling & the pipe together!

pop the pipe into your umbrella base and voila! instant clothesline.
since it's in an umbrella base, it's portable and you can move it to wherever the sun happens to be shining.

and there you have it. ok, so it's not big enough hold a quilt or bed sheets, but it will hold dish towels, unmentionables or as in our case, bailey's freshly laundered clothes. BOL

it's fun, quirky and a conversation piece all rolled up into one. i didn't lose yard space and i still got my clothesline. plus we saved an old bicycle wheel from ending up in the landfill. it's a win, win!
bailey gives this project her two paws up seal of approval.

lizards play hide & seek with aoife

aoife discovered a couple of lizards on the tree stump the other day. what ensued was quite entertaining. she never did catch one but it sure wasn't from lack of trying! maybe next time, eef!
