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

Do You Want Fries With That?

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

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!

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!

It's Secret! One Hint, One Guess! Can You Guess?

Hi friends!

Are you up for some fun with me? I'd love to show you something on the Dog Days of August, which is coming up next week! 

For now, it's been kept a little secret. Not many eyes have seen it or know it exists, so you'll have to make a guess in order to see it on August 1st.  Just follow your instinct...

here's the hint: to see it you have to turn pages

Can you guess what it is?  I hope so!  It shouldn't be too hard.

stay tuned...

xoxo,

Vivi

PS:  leave your guess in the comments, and you'll receive a private invitation on August 1st!

Has Any One Seen My Monkey?

I'm A Puppet To Your Desire

Quinn_Vivi_2.mov Watch on Posterous

"I am a puppet to your desire." That's it!  Those are the words of my musician/poet/artist friend, Chris Spheeris, http://chrisspheeris.com/about-chris, whose music and voice accompanies this short video. 

I do love to play, and playing with children is especially wonderful.  In this movie, I'm playing with a little girlfriend, Quinn, for the first time, and we're rolling on the floor having a vivilicious time together.  

Hope you're all having a good start to the new week!

all love, in your hands or paws,

Vivi

June Kick-Off!

Cream In My Coffee - For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday Challenge

This is a photo from last November, but reposted this time with an addition of two pretty textures by Kim Klassen. Her Texture Tuesday Challenge is a tea or coffee cup with an overlay of any of her textures.  I really do like the combination of her two textures, "Cream In My Coffee" and "Soft Shale."  They blend well together!

Play Time!

All are welcome to join!  Wishing you all a happy new week filled with fun and joy!

XOXO,

ViVi

Mr. Squirrel doesn't stop talking in my ear, he drives me nuts.

Do'n My ViVi Boogie

Ever Have That Feeling of Being Left Out?

This morning's playdate with Maddy and Romeo at my house was ok, but it seems true, two's company, three's a crowd.  Romeo only has eyes for Maddy and my little girlfriend gave into Romeo's advances and tactics. While they were busy roll'n and kiss'n, you know what, I had entertained myself doing my own boogie to my own tune.
