let's do this.

now that bailey is feeling a bit more like her old self, we can start to have a little more fun with our picture taking ... like sticking her in a home depot bucket. (she's such a good sport.)


of course when aoife sees me taking pictures of bailey, she wants in on the action (& the treats!). aoife is a perfect model, and she knows it. she also knows she will be rewarded for her ability to follow direction. do you hear that, bailey? aoife can follow direction. BOL

first in line

picture time = treat time at casa chihuahua, so when bailey heard the treat bag come out, she jumped in front of aoife to be first in line.

"me first! i'm still recuperating."

aoife is such a sweetie and so tolerant of little bailey's antics.

burn baby burn

every so often i like to write a post about a fun project that we've done around the house. like the clothesline project or our linen closet makeover. since i don't write a diy blog, i stick bailey in a couple of the pictures and it ends up here. BOL. also, this way my folks can see what we've been up to over here. this is such a post.

we have two fireplaces in our home: a decent one and an ugly one. this is about our ugly one. it is a small gas log burning fireplace. it was dingy, the single line of flame barely put out any heat, it was off center and i finally just got fed up with it. ok, time to update.

"let's go shopping!"

this is our sort of before picture. it had old lava rock on the bottom but i forgot to take the picture before hubby removed it.


hubby took out the log burner and replaced it with a glass burner.


we ordered some fire glass ...


... and bailey supervised as hubby poured it in the fireplace.


voila! just a few hours later, we have a brand new look to our old brick fireplace. the glass burner gives us more flames and more warmth than the log burner. we should have done this ages ago.

#chewy immortalizes my grand dog

packages are always so much fun to receive in the mail; especially unexpected ones. imagine our surprise, when we received a package from none other than chewy! i knew i wasn't expecting anything from them so i tore it open and what a surprise! a portrait of my grand dog, aoife! how adorable and how sweet.


"thanks chewy!!!"

product review: blue buffalo wilderness trail treats salmon wild bites

what has got bailey's attention?


salmon wild bites.


every time we go out, i always have a bag of treats in bailey's doggie bag. if she gets a little fidgety in the store, i can always calm her down with a little nibble or two. then when we get back to the car, she gets another nibble.


salmon wild bites are soft and easy for bailey to chew. she likes them so much, she didn't even wait for me to cut it up for her! when this package is gone, i'm definitely gonna buy more.

"mmm, salmony"

* 100% grain-free
* high in protein
* contains no gluten, corn, wheat, soy or by-product meals
* made in the USA


note: chewy.com provided us with the package of treats for our honest opinion of the product. the opinion stated in this review was written by me and was not copy supplied by blue buffalo or chewy.

bailey's super bowl sunday

went for a leisure stroll with aoife.


stopped in at augie's for a cup of coffee.


took a nap.


watched the halftime show.

♪♪ "california girls, we're undeniable,
fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock..." ♪♪

she was having a lovely day - until the seahawks lost the super bowl.
this is what she had to say about that:
