Saturday at the Beach

I don't mind that we didn't get to the exciting beach destination that was planned for today.  The weather was not cooperative, so we didn't drive out to Stinson Beach where the waves are huge.  But you know, to me, a beach is a beach no matter where it is. 

I did have a delightful spa visit after my visit to the tame beach along the bay, and now, I'm so soft and fluffy, but completely exhausted.   Modeling my new hair doo for you will just have to wait til tomorrow, as my head and eye lids are very heavy. 

Have a great Saturday night everyone!

See you tomorrow.

Ambrosia

It's Friday again, furry and all!  This gorgeous bouquet of heavenly scented Star Lilies, all in full open bloom, is for a peaceful Memorial Weekend.

My pawents are taking me tomorrow to a new beach I've never been to before where the waves are big and the beaches are wide.  Afterward, I'll be treated at a doggy spa, for it's that time again to get thoroughly groomed, trimmed, clipped, and cleaned! 

Wish you all a fantastic weekend!

XOXO,

Spring Rain, Spring Shine, I Love My New Umbrella in Springtime

Wednesday, May 25 2011

One of the reasons why spring is my favorite season of the year is this...  Today it rained and it shined.  Don't you love the combination of soft rain and warm sun?  It's magic -- the air smells so fresh and the sun rays open the water drops so everything is misty and sparkling at the same time.  I could just sense a Jeanie flying out of her bottle.  

So, I opened my new umbrella today!  It's a secret umbrella from Victoria.  Or, a Victoria's Secret umbrella.  So I'm dry and I'm cool.  And I'm relaxing under my pink umbrella in the rain and the sun, as this happy Jeanie flies all around laughing because spring is in the air. 

The second reason why spring is my favorite season of the year is because it's time to wear pink.  Pink, sweet and innocent, pretty and playful.

Tomorrow, I won't be here, but I'll be back Friday.  Until then... many wags.

with love,

Texture Tuesday - A Photo from YesterYear

This photo is from yesteryear, and it also has one layer of Kim Klassen's texture called 'Yesteryear' especially for her Texture Tuesday challenge today.   Some of you will recognize who the little white sleeping beauty is with her big wide eyes open!  Yes, that is Miss Penny.  This photo was taken during our winter holiday in 2009.  We went together to see the snow for the first time in our lives as pups at Lake Almanor.  It was one of the best vacations we two girls could ask for!  We got lots and lots of snow to play in, and we had a warm fireplace to snuggle up cozy together and stay warm.  Penny is still in our thoughts, and so very missed.  She's doing well, getting along happily with the cat and coming upon her second birthday year too soon.

Relaxing In The Countryside

A Country Goofball

Well, I've completed a weekend of silliness.  Today, in the countryside, I tossed pinecones and behaved like a total goofball. 

Goofy at the Beach

Having lot's of silliness this weekend.  Everything was going just great until I put on the breaks and all my skin went flying over my face.

My New Little Pal, Devereaux

Today, I was so excited to play outside with Devereaux. He weights 3 or 4 pounds, and is so tiny, I sometimes can't find him under my big feet. We will be watching him on Thursdays. So, over the next few months, we'll get to see him grow up!

Beautiful Weather and A Bathe After the Rains

I was supposed to have been bathed last Monday, but with all the rains for the last few days, we waited until today.  I got bathed this morning, as the sun started to come out again, and now I feel as fresh as a daisy in springtime.  The air is so clean too after the rains.  I had a lovely afternoon walk, but kept cool under the shade.  Hope you all had a great hump day (Wednesday!).

XOXO,

ViVi

Running In The Pretty Country Side

These are a few more landscape shots of the colorful scenery from Sunday's visit to the barn to see Bubba.  

Not much happened today, well, other than that loud fire alarms were going off all afternoon after a sprinkler burst open in a stairwell and flooded two floors below. Luckily we didn't get any damage.  It's raining in California for the next three days, so we're back to gloomy weather cold again until Thursday. 

Tomorrow, I'll be stopping in to visit your streams and catch up with you!  Hope you're having a good Monday to start your week.

Happy Furry Friday From Rusty, Romeo, Max and Very ViVi!

Today, I hosted a doggy day afternoon at my house.  This gang and I wish you a very happy Furry Friday and a good start to the weekend.  Sorry that Maddy is missing from this photo.  She was with her mom today taking care of last minute details before her big trip.  Tomorrow, Saturday, will be my very last day playing with Maddy before she goes away.  I will need a box of tissues.  It's not going to be easy for us to say good-bye and part ways.  So, tomorrow, we need to enjoy every moment to the very last drop.

Max, the white furry fluff ball in the forefront of this photo, is seven years old.  Poor boy has had diabetes for several years. Unfortunately, very recently, he has started getting cataracts in both his eyes.  But, his cute puppy spirit will keep him forever and ever young at heart. 

I wish there had been more time this week to visit you all, my sweet wonderful Flickr friends, but it's been a busy week with a few unexpected events to take care of. This weekend is going to be precious with Maddy going away.  But I'll come by soon, I promise.  I enjoy every one of your thoughtful words you leave on my photos, but I'm afraid catching up is going to be a bit hard for a few more days.

Wish you all a great weekend!  

with love,

ViVi
