Flash back... two years ago today I came home!

Today's a busy day celebrating all my love with ma and pa!!!

First Driving Lesson

... fasten your seat belt... we're going for a ride!

I'm Back To My Modeling Career Today...

Well, I didn't work my 2nd job selling stuffed hotdogs at the drive-in today.  Instead, I modeled, and I made this thank you card for Romeo's mommy. She gives such adorable girly gifts... see the dainty pink Coach purse looped around my wrist? I wonder if mom would let me borrow it as a pretty treat bag... hmm... 

Happy Furry Friday to you!!!

Do You Want Fries With That?

My 2nd job (when I'm not modeling) pays the rent.

"Little Miss Sunshine" ~ Texture Tuesday's Movie Theme eDition

Texture Tuesday's challenge is any movie theme! FUN idea. Kim Klassen's "Golden" texture was added here.

And... about those two bright happy suitcases... they're packed with loving fun surprises for my special Stanley.

The Chew of Chews

Every dog needs a good chew every now and then. 

This Is A Yummy Chew for Somebody!

This yummy chew is for somebody very special whose birthday is coming up this month...shhh, don't tell!  It's one prezie of which I picked out special for him.  It has a great flavor that's hard for me to resist. So I know he'll like it.  If you haven't ever chewed an antler, it's the chew of chews!

I'm On The Green

Happy Furry Friday!

The First Gardenia Blossomed Today

A sweet surprise in my little garden... this lovely fragrant Gardenia just opened! 

The Conductor is Calling All Aboard!

Have you ever ridden a steam locomotive? This morning, I hopped on board Train No. 11 at Redwood Valley Railway in Tilden Park. The ride is fun and dogs are welcome!  The Chief Engineer for over 30 years, Ray Pimlott, even lent me a conductor's hat for my first locomotive ride, complete with tunnels, whistle blowing, and vista views along the way. Afterward, I played in Tilden Park and enjoyed a sun shiny day. 

Happy trails and tails to you all!

Texture Tuesday's "It's the Little Things" eDition

Happy Texture Tuesday!

As a mere one-year old pup, one of the birthday presents I received was a kit for raising butterflies. I raised six butterflies from June 24 through July 14, 2010.

Eagerly, I watched them grow everyday, from larva to butterflies. This little one we named Sparrow, and it was the first of the six butterflies to fly away.

Thank you very much, Kim Klassen, for the use of your beautiful texture, "Cream In My Coffee."

Thanks for all the visits, faves, and comments... I'm on Flickr's Frontpage!

Flying High Over the Water

At the beach yesterday, I flew on a mission and it was exhilarating!  I didn't know I had that extra gear in me!

I visited Bubba at the barn afterward, and he is feeling SO much better now.  Thanks for asking!  The medicines have healed his left eye and he's feeling great again.  I didn't see Harley, the Newfie, though, he wasn't around Sunday.  Today, is a gloomy Monday morning, no sunshine yet, but I'm having a play date with Romeo and Max.  

Have a good day!

A Happy 100th Birthday Weekend Tribute to Lucy!

Remembering I love Lucy! On August 6th, Lucy would have been 100 years old!

A Zoomie Joy Run at the Barn

Having just met puppy Harley, a big boy Newfie, I almost lost my wits!  He's only 9-months old and weighs 150 pounds!  And he wears a red bib to catch all his drool!  Is that cute!

Happy Furry Saturday!

Weekends were made for having fun!  Wishing you all a fun weekend.

your very vivilicious vivi

Me & Devereaux

Today, Devereaux and I hung out together and we got treats (as you can tell from the desperate look on my pleading face).  

Hope you have a fantastic day!  And thanks for all your visits!  We made EXPLORE three days in a row!  How exciting!

Texture Tuesday's Anything Goes Edition

Hi!!! Happy Texture Tuesday!

For Kim Klassen's "Anything Goes" edition today, http://www.kimklassencafe.com/thecafe/texture-tuesday-the-anything-goes-edition.html

I added two layers of her "Sweet Tart" to a picture from yesterday morning in the garden.

I also want to thank everyone for your compliments on my book.  I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the movie preview yesterday.  Some of you asked about getting pawdographed books.  I think that will be pawsible, IF Very Vivi gets printed by a book publisher (someday, hopefully). Then copies will be reasonably affordable and I'd be delighted to personally pawdograph copies for all of you.  While self-publishing is a fun and exciting project to do (and I recommend trying Blurb's SmartBook if you want to make a coffee table book), the only problem is it's expensive, especially once a book goes over 90-pages and top quality papers, linens, and the largest size book are ordered.  I'll let you know if a publisher takes it.

Enjoy your day!

with big smiles,

Vivi

You could wait until it's published, which will bring the cost down considerably.
