Thankful for the Sun and my Sunglasses


OH...Hi, you startled me.  It's so hard to see when the sun is so bright.
MAMA, would you please get my sunglasses?


Whew, much better, thanks Mama! 
I'm so thankful the weather has been so sunny here lately.

I'm also thankful for my sunglasses.....

....they help be see these beautiful apple blossoms better!

Backyard Wildlife Wednesday - When Harlan and Harlan Jr. Stop By

 
We can always tell when either Harlan or Harlan Jr. have been by the "birdy watering hole" because, instead of the usual loud and crowded bird feeders, they suddenly look like this:
**crickets**

Here are some clips TC caught of Harlan Jr. and Harlan earlier this month:

A Less Speak, More Peek Travel Tuesday



 Easter weekend we took ArCe about four hours south of our place to Elephant Butte, NM. It was a very laid back weekend filled with walkies and relaxing. Today, instead of explaining, we thought we would tell about our journey with pictures. So, without further adieu, here is a picture story of our weekend! 
(A special thank you to Yam-Aunty for inspiring our "less speak, more peek")










































We will show you more about our weekend on Nature Friday!

Final Nature Friday Feature with Sunny


Welcome to the wonderful Friday each month where Nature Friday comes together with YAM Aunty's FFF!!  Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the FFF fun!! 

 
Happy to Stroll
by Sunny

Five you say, may not be old
I am not weak, I'm very bold
But instead of running, I'd rather stroll.

Rosy and Daddy, they love to run
But if Mama and I would run
In minutes we'd be done.

We like to stay back and admire the view,
taking in the sun and being the few
strolling along, like tourists do.

So Rosy, you and Daddy can run, 
but if you're taking a poll
Don't worry about Mama and I
We're going to stroll.


This is Five
From the Pawrents:
Happy 5th Birthday to Sunny, our true Taurus:
  • -Committed to comfort and routine (Especially routine)
  • -Strong-willed and frank (and vocal about it!)
  • -Dependable and hardworking (always prefers having a job to do)
  • -Dedicated and stubborn (Understatement)
  • -Sensual (This always throws us for a loop. Sunny is the most snuggly lapdog we have ever had. No matter what her mood previously during the day, at 3:50pm and 8:10pm she wants to climb up on Mama's lap for belly rubs and snuggle time)



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 Thursday

 
On the last day before turning five, I have so many things to be thankful for and it was hard to choose just one. 

I decided for my fifth birthday, I would list my top five thankfuls:

5. Greenies....because you know, they are delicious nuggets of green goodness!

4. I am thankful for family adventures, something I might not have been thankful for a few years ago. I am thankful that I can be a part of family adventures without being real sick during the journey. 

3. I am thankful I am in less pain since I started getting my librela shots. Mama is trying to limit them to every six weeks. She says that even though they block pain, if I keep running and jumping, I could injure my knee and leg without even knowing.

2. I am thankful for Rosy! Having a patient loving sister is very important. When I become "activated" sometimes I don't know what I'm doing and I growl and charge Rosy. Rosy remains calm, that helps me remember where I am so I can settle down and "deactivate".

1. Mama and Daddy are number 1 on my thankful list this year. Daddy gives me cheese and greenies, and drives us to cool places in ArCe. Mama...well Mama feeds me dinner...puts up with my Sunny-tude and still loves me if I bite her toe-ies (I may have over reacted when she stepped on my paw). 
Anyways...I do know how lucky I am to have such pawsome pawrents!


Of course, I am also glad for every one in Blogville. It is pawsome to have such a
wonderful support system from all over the world!

The Trouble with Squirrels

 
As some of you might remember, unlike Rosy, I have had no problems with squirrels. This year, however, they have started to take over our backyard. This has upset Daddy, because they they have been trying to set up housekeeping under our sheds. 

Here is a video from TC showing squirrel cuteness...

As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE

I am torn....on the one hand, they are so cute...

BUT

If Daddy hates them, I think I may have to rethink things...

Sunny's Travels Tuesday


As I get ready to turn 5, I realize how lucky I am to have visited so many cool places!

I met donkeys in Utah when I was only 5 months old!

I got to play with bears on my 1st birthday...

I got to travel across country when we moved from California to New Mexico.

I've even seen horsies up in Northern New Mexico

From pretty mountain views in Creede...

...to the serene Rocky Mountains of Colorado!

I've talked to cows in Tucumcari

Visited beaches without oceans....

...and the world's biggest pistachio in Alamagordo, NM.

I've seen trains go by behind our campsite in Chama, NM...

...and climbed big(gish) lava mountains in Grants, NM

I've even sat by a campfire in Arizona!


I'm so happy to have been able to visit so many places.


I can't wait to see where we go in the next 5 years!!
