The Birthday Party Entourage

And so, the pawty begins!  Rusty Bear, Max and Romeo celebrated my birthday with me.  We had pupcakes, fun and games.  

The Party

Hi Everyone!

Thank you so very much for all your birthday wishes yesterday.  You are all so very sweet, and I did have a wonderful, very memorable day.  Here are a few pre-birthday pawty pix I want to share with you, before I got around to blowing out a candle, gobbling cookie cake with my friends, and opening prezzies in the middle of the living room.  I received amazing gifts, and especially the gift from my beaux, Stanley, that came as a big surprise.  I will show you all my birthday prezzies later though, so please stay tuned.  Quite a few more funny pawty pix are on the way.   Hope you're having a marvelous day.

XOXO,
ViVi

PS:  Being a teenager is just so exciting!

My Birthday Began With A Morning Visit to the Beach & A Big Surprise Greeting

Monday, June 20 2011

Today I am 2 years old!  

My day has been just wonderful, so far.  It began with a visit up the hill to watch the goats grazing. Then, I went for a morning visit to the beach, where I met a turtle who came out of the sea.  How exciting.  Then, I got taken to Pet Express for a free birthday bath - isn't that nice!  I've had several walks, and now some of my friends are here with me - Romeo and Max.  It also is Max's birthday today.  He turns seven years old today.  I think it's cool that he and I share the same birthdate.  

Anyway, there are lot's of prezzies sitting in the middle of the living room, and a big enormous birthday cookie... we're just waiting for the pawty to begin at 5pm!  One of the prezzies is from my handsome beaux, Mr. Stanley!  Stay tuned for some pawty pix later.

Kisses and smiles,
Miss ViVi

Going Back In Time for Father's Day - Daddy And Me When I Was 3-Months Old

2009-09-25-img_3374-70dpi800w-

I love my daddy so much!  

He is a horse whisperer and a dog whisperer.  He is a wonderful daddy.  And because Father's Day is only two more days away, I'm going down memory lane, remembering some of the tender moments we've shared together in our lives.  

This photo was taken on September 25th, 2009, when I was a 3-month old pup and I could be scooped up in daddy's arms. That's not possible now with my 76 pounds of body weight, so those moments being held in his arms are very precious.

Wishing everyone a Very Happy Furry Friday for Father's Day Weekend!!!

Love,
Vivi

The weather forecast here is perfect for the next week!  It's about time.  We've been waiting for the spring / summer to arrive.  This is a picture taken early in the morning in front of the Oakland Temple with the morning fog starting to burn off as the sun rises over the bay. 

Is everybody getting ready for Father's day this Sunday?  I am!!! Bubba and I are going to spend a long day together with our daddy.

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

"Where in the world is ViVi?"

This weekend, I'm having some fun jet setting, whilst enjoying a super quick visit in Paris for site-seeing, dining, and shopping.  It is, after all, my birthday month and sometimes a girl can dream.

Happy Sunday!

Light and Lovely Peonies for A Light and Bright Spring Weekend

2011-06-09_peonies_mg_8517-70d

Happy Furry Friday!  The pink peonies are remarkably ripe now with fragrance and beauty.  Spring is finally in the air, and with bright vibrance here in California this weekend. Love it!  I wish you all a glorious spring weekend, hopefully not too hot, not too cold, but just right.  Have fun and enjoy the spring air, and spring light sweet friends.

XOXO,
ViVi

Peonies from A Kind Gentleman

2011-06-08_peonies_mg_8385-70d

This magnificent magical pink peony bouquet came home yesterday as a special gift from a kind gentleman stranger at the front of the grocery checkout line.  When asked for his first name as I thanked him, he replied, "no names, instead, may the kindness spread beyond and never stop, I just met an old friend who I hadn't seen in many years."  The art of random acts of kindness are not lost.  And, after photographing the bouquet of 5 blossoms that came home with us with this beautiful blessing, I gave one peonie to Rusty Bear's ma and another peonie to Max's ma.  This morning Max's ma said, "Guess what happened to me last night... in the middle of the night I got a random phone call from an old friend of mine who I haven't spoken to in 17 years!"  

So the chain of magic goes on and on and on... link after link... person to person.  We thank you, whoever you are, dear nameless stranger, and maybe we'll meet again.

What's Really Going On Here?

Tuesday, June 07, 2011

It's Juicy!

2011-02-01-juicycouture-kk-72d

Happy Tuesday!  and Texture Tuesday at that.  

Sorry for a few days absence, but I've been snuggling with mom, cause she has been under the weather.  But what a nice surprise to to find out on my return that last Tuesday's Texture photo made Explore.  Thanks everybody!

Today's challenge is a picture with words.  I combined Kim Klassen's beautiful textures, "Yesteryear" and her latest one, "Subtly Yours."  Thanks Kim!  

Now, I've been dying to find out what's inside that box!  But, my pawents said I'll have to wait and see until June 20th to open it!

Have a great day everybody!

Love,
ViVi
