Happy Birthday Daddy!
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to the bestest Daddy in the whole world.
Happy Birthday to you!
As you might have guessed December is a busy month around here. Not only is it Christmas, both Mama AND Daddy have birthdays! Today, we are combining Nature Friday AND Daddy's birthday with a look back at all the fun we've had together!
Of course, the bestest times have been traveling in ArCe!
We've explored remote places like Ute Lake in Eastern New Mexico
We've been to cool natural landmarks like Monument Valley
....and let's not forget the Squirrelly Grand Canyon
Road tripping is always fun with Daddy. especially when we find pretty views (this is North Clear Creek Falls, near Creede, CO).
So join us today in wishing our most Pawtastic Daddy the bestest birthday a guy could have!
(and we're not just saying that because he is in charge of giving us greenies tonight ;-))
We hope all our friends enjoy a bit of Nature this weekend!
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 Christmas Decorations - Inside
This week I am going to give you a glimpse of the cute little ornaments we are thankful the pawrents picked up on our travels!
This ornament is from Carmel, our favorite town in California, by our good friend Laurie! It is our favorite line from the movie, Elf.
The pawrents picked up this beary cute ornament on our camping trip to Red River this year.
This Longhorn Snowman is from Red River too.
The pawrents say are going to try and remember to pick an ornament up from all the places we visit this year...From what we 've overheard the pawrents say, we will have a BUNCH of ornaments to show you next year!
Thank you for stopping by today and a big thank you to Max and Angel Brian for hosting Thankful Thursday every week. It gives us a chance to make sure we pause and think about all the little (and big) things we have to be thankful for every week!

Travel Tuesday - Pawrents Gone Wild
For Thanksgiving this year, while we stayed home with Nanny J, Mama and Daddy went someplace where Daddy could "relax and unwind". We thought maybe they went someplace where Daddy could take naps and eat treats all day...you know, like we do to relax.
But then I saw THESE pictures (on Mama's phone) of
them having WAY TOO MUCH fun !!!!
Those are awfully big smiles to have when you left your puppies so far away!
Big crowds and loud music isn't our idea of relaxing, Mama!!
That doesn't look like a store where you can buy souvenirs for us!
In case you haven't guessed by now, the pawrents took a trip to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. They did say there were lots of treats involved. For instance, they had dinner at the restaurant WAY up at the top of the tower in the picture above.
I bet it was yummy....
They visited the Mob Museum because Mama may be a bit obsessed with the organized crime past of Las Vegas.
They walked through a few casinos....
...and looked at all the beautiful architecture
...and of course, they stopped by the Conservatory at the Bellagio
(we'll have more on that later)
Although, we are happy they came back refreshed and happy, we can't wait to get back to "family vacations" in ArCe this Spring!
We are joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the
Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!

Sasebo Gardens, A Year of Beauty!
Early February, leftover leaves from 2024 and some ice covering the rocks.
March.
No more ice and the ducks are starting to enjoy the pond.
April brought budding trees
May has the waterfall looking ready for the warmer months
June and
Summer has arrived
July
The Summer months all look about the same at the Sasebo Garden Waterfall, lots of shady green. But there was a lot of color to be found in the garden, here is a little video of June-September colors at Sasebo:
August
September
October.
Things are cooling down and the trees are getting ready for their Autumn display
...and Mama's favorite month at Sasebo, November! The trees are dressed in beautiful reds, golds and oranges to celebrate a beautiful year!
December brings beautiful decorations and colors to Sasebo at night. Mama and Daddy went to enjoy the "River of Lights" last weekend. The downside of this is the park looks a bit "meh" during the day, so Mama hasn't visited yet. We'll have more on the pretty holiday light show, later in the month.
Thanks for tagging along as we visited the Botanic Garden all year. Sasebo sure looked beautiful in 2025 and I'm sure we'll see more of it in 2026. BUT, we are hoping Mama finds a place to visit monthly next year that includes US pups too!
We hope everyone gets a chance to get out and enjoy some nature this weekend!!
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 Howliday Decorations - Outside
This time of year, I am thankful for all the fun decorations. This week, I wanted to give a special thank you to Daddy who made the outside festive!
It's hard to get all out friends to stay upright in the windy desert, but Daddy always goes the extra mile to make sure they don't fly away and we, and the neighbors, are very thankful to him for that!
Thank you to Maxwell and Angel Brian for hosting the
Thankful Thursday Blog Hop
