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.

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!

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

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 

Yay, A Page-Turner Is Coming!

Hi sweet friends! 

You are all great barky genius!  You guessed! A Very Vivi book is coming.  I'm so excited to share it with you -- but first, THANK YOU for your super show of enthusiasm yesterday, and everyday. I love you all!!! Be assured, my big paws are hard at work now making a sneak movie preview of the book.  The target air date is Monday, August 1st.  Stay tuned! 

xoxo,

Vivi

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!
