Pup Cake Recipe for Clint's 1st Birthday

We will forever be grateful to  Paws & Claws Pet Shelter  for making this guy's life possible!  

Camping with Clint

 

This handsome fella went on his first overnight visit to Lake Leatherwood in nearby Eureka Springs.

Clint's Daycare Routine

He's my puppy, so I think he's the best puppy.  Clint attends daycare one day each week.  At first, he was a scared snarly face, but now he's excited to see the other puppies.

Gifts for our Grand - Pets

If you've read my blog for long, you already know we adore our darling grandchildren.  Our family also includes four grand - pets that are pretty cool, too!  

Thrifty Finds

One man's trash...  ;-)

I recently got to spend a day with my Fabulous Aunt and had a wonderful time!  There will be a post about the view where we had lunch, but today, I wanted to show you my finds at a local Thrift Store we visited.  My photos were taken before the treasure was dusted.  OOPS!

Travels with Marci and Other Passengers

My full time job (besides blogging) has me on the road quite a bit these days, regularly buzzing around eight different counties here in Arkansas.  I am so very blessed to live in a beautiful area.  When something catches my eye, I snap a picture or two with my phone.  Let me begin by saying this is not a post about animals being left in hot cars.  These shots were taken on mild, overcast days.  Being a dog lover who is in and out of parking lots, of course I notice who might be in the car next to me.  'So many cute faces! 

These two were just looking around while the driver was inside.

A Hazy Day with Carter

Don't you love a fellow that is tall, dark and handsome?  ;-)  This is Carter.

A Morning Walk with Molli

This sweet girl is a such a great walking partner!

Tobi's Tough Life

This handsome fellow has been a member of our family since he was eight weeks old.

Labradors Adopted

 

We were super excited when we brought home our Labrador puppies.

Our little 9 pound Chihuahua mix has adopted them for her own.  It takes a special Chihuahua to be a Labrador momma!

 

In this series of photos, you can see Abigail is teaching them how to dig.  (They actually don't need any help in that department!)
 

Digging seems to be awfully exciting!  ;-)

Those Labrador Puppies...

 

Who do you suppose might have been digging in the garden

 

 

 

 

or napping in the sand box?

 



Six pack abs are SOOOOO over rated!  ;-)

 

I hope these silly little sweethearts have you smiling!

Our Back Yard This Week, Chihuahuas and Chickens

Few people believe me when I say our dogs and chickens share a back yard.  Look!  ;-)  This photo is proof! 



 What's been happening in your back yard?

Pet Photo Challenge

You might remember I accepted a Nature Photo Challenge from Mary at The Boondocks Blog on Facebook.  My nominees were absolutely showing off when they posted their pictures!  Here's the rundown if you enjoy photography.

That was so much fun, I began a Pet Photo Challenge on Facebook.  I committed to posting at least one pet photo (past or present) each day for 7 days and nominated a friend each day to do the same.  It was so sweet to see everyone's favorite pet pix!

Here are the ones I posted with a few explanations. 

 

This guy is Handsome Jac,

with our gorgeous daughter,

 

and adorable grandson.

 

 

He was such a good boy.

 

 

We lost Jac to old age a couple of years ago, but still miss him.  Can you tell his favorite ride was the rock crawler? 

 

This cutie is our neighbor's granddaughter holding Beatrix.

 

 

Baby Beatrix

 

  

Beatrix, old enough to lay eggs.

 

This little sweetheart is our granddaughter, Lydia, with Abigail begging for her attention.

They have so much fun together!

 

Our grandson is holding Kati while winking.  ;-)





Napping buddies.

 

Kati likes to sunbathe!  ;-)



Here's me with Ivan who is a total snuggle-bug.

 

 I'm so glad we have couches!

If you haven't already posted Pet Photos or Nature Photos, please know you are welcome to join the fun!  Just let me know so I can smile along with you!
