Towhee Sighting

We always like to see new birds show up at our feeder. TC caught some footage of a cute little Towhee a few weeks ago. We really like his black, brown and white coloring:

Thanks for stopping by!

Tasty Tuesday

Mama said we forgot to mention yesterday that one of our most important goals of 2026 is to snack healthier.

(FYI, we didn't forget and we did NOT make this goal for us. Mama did!) Anyways...it has been mentioned that we need to stay in shape so we are in prime camping shape this year. PLUS, Mama said we could make healthy snacking taste good too! 

She wasn't wrong....

Mama has started giving us two levels of treats.

We get a piece of chicken jerky for being well behaved super models. I also get a piece of chicken jerky after I get my eye drop every night. 

Mama calls these treats our Good Girl cookies.

Then there are these little slices of doggie delights. We get these for coming in from outside the FIRST time we are called or doing a special trick. As you can tell, we come running as soon as we hear the package crinkling. Mama calls these "doggy crack"

Mama says these treats are made with just one ingredient,"dehydrated chicken". We are pretty sure there must be some other magical ingredient added because these are the best treats we have ever had!!!

We think snacking healthy isn't going to be that bad after all!

Hey Mama, you better go to Trader Joe's and stock up on some more jerky!!!!

Although we don't make resolutions, Rosy and Sunny have each set a goal for 2026...

 I, Sunny, am going to make an effort to snuggle with Mama more in 2026.

As for Rosy....

 More walkies, of course!

Do you have any goals for 2026??

Nature Friday 2025 Favorites

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Does anyone else get confused about this week of the year. I mean, Daddy stays home for a day, goes to work for a day, then stays home for two days....it's CRAZY! Anyway, for the first Nature Friday of 2026, we put together a few of our favorite nature pictures and videos of the year.

As you might expect, one of Mama's favorite nature moments was being able to listen the ocean back in January 2025 

Spring 2025 brought pretty pink hyacinths to our backyard.

Summer 2025 was our favorite season:

 It  brought mountain views....

Water lilies.....

and pretty butterflies!

The Autumn leaves were beautiful this year....

...and we couldn't end our 2025 Nature Favorites without the relaxing sound of the Sasebo Garden waterfall!

Thanks for joining us on our stroll through our 2025 Nature Friday favorites. Here’s to another year of wonder, wild moments, and the beauty waiting for us in 2026!

We hope all our friends get out and experience some nature this weekend.

As of 6:30pm USA MST Linky tools seems to be having an issue showing link images, the links are still working and hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

Happy New Year!!

HAPPY 2026!!!

We hope this year brings all our friends love, happiness and lots of treats.

We are so very thankful for everyone of you and look forward to following all of your 2026 adventures!

Thank you to Maxwell and Angel Brian for hosting the

Thankful Thursday Blog Hop

 

A Morning at the Fountain

Mama found a nice picture from last year of me with the fountain to celebrate all the nice relaxing videos we get of all kinds of birds stopping by to get wet their beaks, and dunk their feathers. On this last day of 2025, here is a nice relaxing video of a December morning at our fountain:

The fountain is one of the birds most favorite places to visit in our backyard and we always are so happy to see all types of birdies getting along together when they visit. 

With the colder weather arriving, we will be finding new and interesting places to view wildlife in our backyard as we give the fountain its annual Winter break.

I've taken ussies with the dinosaurs of Cabezon, California

Driven halfway across the US from the Northy North California coast to live the high desert of New Mexico.

Enjoyed sun puddles in the "Other Las Vegas" (the one in NM)

Enjoyed the town of Creede, CO..

Heard the train whistles in Chama, NM
