Rosy's Eight Thankfuls


Only 2 more sleeps until my 8th Birthday and I've been thinking of all the things I have to be thankful for over those 8 years....

Here are my top 8 thankfuls through the past 8 years 

1. I am thankful for the Angel Arty's gal Mabel, who's Mom helped me find my furr-ever home by telling my pawrents about a very cute dark Lhasa that was available in Utah.

2. My Pawrents. They take care of me plus they are very comfy to snuggle with in the big bed at night 

3. Greenies....really, do I need to say anything more?

4. I am thankful to have had the two bestest brothers a girl could have had. Angels Arty and Jakey were always up for a good game of bitey face or zoomies. I miss them every day.

5. My daily walkies. Rain or shine, either Mama or Daddy (or both) take me out to explore our neighborhood every day, even if it is just for 15 minutes.

6. Sunny, she has turned in to a pretty good little sister. We play together, chase bunnies together and now, we even lay on the couch to snuggle with the pawrents together!

7. Adventures. I am so thankful we have ArCe(and CeCe before her) and to be able to travel all around our state and the USA!

8. YOU! I am so thankful for each and every one of our Blogville and CatBlogosphere friends and appreciate your visits and the things I learn from visiting you!!

Only 2 more sleeps until my Birthday!!!

My Birthday Present to Rosy

 
Today, I had Mama make a special video just for Rosy! I thought it would be fun for her to have a movie of all favorite things to chase animals so she can bark at it watch it whenever she is stuck in the house.

Happy "3 more sleeps before your 8th birthday" Rosy!

Eight years of Travel


One of my (and Mama's) favorite things to do during my birthday week, is to look back at all the memories we've made over the years. Some of those best memories have been made during our many travels!!

I got used to traveling a a VERY early age. Here I am relaxing on my very first long car ride from Utah to my new home in Northy North California!


My next long car ride was along the California coast to visit friends in Monterey and, my favorite little California town, Carmel.

I was also lucky enough to do a long Mama and Me trip to Blog Paws in Kansas City. Even though I was pretty young, I still remember the beautiful sights and fun new friends I met.

Then there was the Mini BAR in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. Angels Jakey & Arty and I met up with Mabel, Murphy and Stanley (along with Styx and Tigris's humans). 


Angel Arty and I went on a LONG road trip with the pawrents in CeCe through California....

We visited Joshua Tree National Park....

....and even got to do some shopping on Palm Springs!

Of course, Sunny and I have been on LOTS of trips in CeCe and, more recently, in ArCe! From local trips to Angel Fire, New Mexico....

Trips to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado....

Here I am in Monument Valley (in Arizona)

...and I have even been to the Squirrel Grand Canyon!

I am so very blessed I am to have been so many places, and to have made so many happy memories. I love sharing them with you all and I can't wait to see where I get to go over the next eight years!!


Only 4 more sleeps until I turn 8!

Rosy Puppy Awws


Happy Birthday Week to ME!! It's hard to believe I will be 8 years old this Saturday. It seems like just yesterday I was just a little girl puppy.

Mama and I went down Memory Lane and found a few of my cutest puppy awwws. Here is the very first picture Mama snapped of me. I'm sitting on Daddy's lap right after they picked me up from my Bio Mom's house. 


Here is me snoozing on the ride from Utah to my new home in Northy North California.

Here I am being a silly girl. 
As you can see, I started being sassy at a VERY early age!
 BOL

Puppy pictures are fun to look at, but I am so very happy for all the fantabulous memories I have made between being a little puppy and becoming the beautiful grown up puppy I am now!


Only 5 sleeps left until I turn 8!

Dog Days of Summer at Sasebo Gardens

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Today, we are taking a look at what July looks like at the Sasebo Japanese Garden (located inside the ABQ Botanic Garden).

The dog days of summer have arrived and the temperatures are getting warm early. It was in the 80s earlier this week when Mama visited. 

The paths are pretty much all shaded, this really helps the temperatures feel cooler. You see, here in the high desert, we have a "dry heat".  One of the good things about this is that it is a bunch cooler in the shade (....but in the sun it is OMD HAWT)!

There were these pretty blue berries growing everywhere!

Mama says these blue berries aren't for eating, they are actually part of the Oregon Grape Holly family.

The waterfall sure is looking pretty.

Here is a video Mama took of the Sasebo Garden...again, she SAYS it's short, but you know Mama!

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)

Now, where was I....
Oh yes, the waterfall is surround by greenery, and Mama says there are ducks living near it too!

We have been getting some rain, so the creeks are flowing

Some of the paths are brimming with day lilies getting ready to bloom.

This beautiful Japanese Spiraea has the prettiest lacy pink blooms.

We'll wrap things up with this pretty scene showing just how green everything is right now!


Thank you for joining me for a July look at the Sasebo Japanese Garden, be sure to join me all next week to help celebrate my birthday! 

Only 8 more days left until I turn 8!!

We hope all our friends get out to see some nature this week!


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.

Thankful for Saturday's with Daddy

Saturdays are the only day of the week Daddy gets to sleep late. Usually Mama is up early to start our morning routine(outside, breakfast, etc). After I have eaten breakfast, I start my Saturday "wait for Daddy routine". 

First, I try to stare through the bedroom door to see if that wakes up Daddy. This is especially hard because the door is closed.


Next, I take a little nap to try and sneak into Daddy's dreams to wake
him up.



Then I usually get frustrated and see if Mama will just open the door so I can go in and wake him up....
This, unfortunately, never works.


FINALLY, I think hear Daddy moving around in the bedroom....

Any minute now.....

Daddy, is that you???

DADDY!!!!!! 
There is nothing like Daddy pets first thing in the morning!

Kingbird and Queen Sunny


This Summer, we are seeing a lot of little Western Kingbirds at the fountain.  Look at the footage TC captured of a few of them over the past few weeks:



These little guys are quiet at the fountain, but don't let that fool you. Rosy says they make nests in the neighbors trees and when she and the pawrents go for walks, they make a big squawky racket! Mama says she is making me an honorary "Queenbird" because I tend to get a bit squawky myself BOL!

Traveling Days


Even though we slept most of the time during our travels to and from Red River, we did over hear the pawrents talking about the pretty scenery.... 

There were mountains

...and the artsy town of Taos, NM.


Mama and Daddy are totally into the whole
"The journey should always be as fun as the destination" philosophy.


We're more of the....
"Get us there and home safely and quickly while we nap"
philisophy.


Mama made this video of our travels. She SAID she was going to keep it short, let's see how she did:

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)


We had a great time in Red River but, due to yucky work projects,  the pawrents think this may be the end of our camping season this year. You never know though, we have our fingers crossed that we may be able to go out in ArCe this Autumn when it gets a bit cooler. 

I, Rosy, will be back during my BIRTHDAY WEEK Nature Friday 
(next week) to tell you about one final fantabulous Red River hike I got to do with the pawrents.
