First Driving Lesson

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

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!

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!
