Deer Me

by Rosy

We went for a hike, just Mama and Me

Along a cool lookout, to see what we could see

We heard there were elk, cougars and bears

Mama had warned me we had to beware!

The scenery was pretty, so lush and green

at first Mama missed, what I'd clearly seen

Down in the valley, instead of something to fear

Eating leaves from the bushes were two very cute deer!

Shush Mama, please, don't scare them away

she did as I asked, and there did we stay.

We watched as they carefully climbed the big hill

We watched and we watched and stood very still.

Finally, they were almost as far as we could see,

when I noticed the small deer looking at me.

I barely heard him speak...

 Is that you Rosy Dear,  Jakey and Arty Deer we be.....

A Halloween Stroll on Travel Tuesday

 

 Arty and I got to do some trick or treating around Carmel by the Sea on Halloween Day. 

We had such a good time strolling up and down the streets.

 

 

 

 We stopped at Carmel Dog Shop, where we picked out a new fleecy vest for Jakey and a couple of cute T-Shirts for Sunny!

 

 

 

 Then we strolled by the Cypress Inn, formerly owned by Angel Doris Day.

 

 

 Then we went looking for our most favorite treat place.....

 

 

Brad's Barkery! They have the BEST doggy donuts EVER!!

 

 

 They were definitely Angel Arty's favorite!!

 

 

Arty said he would eat his donut in the shop(that is THE Brad giving Arty his donut)!

 

  I love them too, but like to save mine to eat in private(mostly so I don't have to share!). 

 

Mama made a video of our fun day walking around Carmel.

 

 

You can also watch it HERE on YouTube.

 

 

 We had the best time strolling in Carmel, and I am so glad I got to spend this special time with Arty before he had to leave for the Rainbow Bridge.

 

 

 

We are joining Sandee at  Comedy Plus for the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!

 

Nature Friday - A Beach Adventure

 

 Hi friends,  a couple of weeks ago, Arty and I went to the Carmel area for the weekend in CeCe. Today, as a special honor to Arty, I thought you might like to tag along on a sunset walkie to Arty's Ocean!

 

 

Our RV Park was within walking distance to the beach. We walked past lots of boats.

 

 

 Mama says this is a Marina. It is where people and fishermen keep their boats.

 

 

 

After we passed the boats, we crossed the street, we walked a bit further....

 

 

 

...and found this pretty trail we followed to 

Arty's ocean!

 

 

 The skies were so very pretty...

 

 

 

 

 Our RV park is very close to those tall smoke stacks in the background!

 

 

 

 We got to the ocean, and sat down to watch the ocean...and after a few minutes Arty, the great whale spotter, saw a WHALE!!!

 

 

Do you see it Rosy?!

 

Mama made a video of our fun beach walkie. 

 Warning to Lee and Phod's Mama: This movie contains whale sightings

 

 

Feel free to watch it HERE on YouTube

 

 

 

 We sure are going to miss Arty, he taught us

 to always make the most of every day! 

 

Do you have a favorite memory of Arty? 

Please tell us in the comments.

 

 

 Thanks to all  our friends for the comforting words during this difficult time. We will be back to regular blogging next week.

A Life Well Lived - Arty 5/31/10 - 11/11/21

Dearest Rosy,

I'm sorry I had to leave without saying a proper goodbye.  The owies and itchies were just too much and I heard Angel Dory calling me to the beautiful land of no more pain. I sure have missed Dory,  it will be wonderful to see her again. Don't worry, Mama and Daddy were holding me, petting me and telling me how much they loved me as I left for the Rainbow Bridge.  I know they will be extra sad for awhile, so make sure you give them lots of  extra snuggles and kisses.

 

 

Take good care of Jakey and Sunny and show them how much fun CeCe can be. I know I am leaving before showing everyone our latest adventure. Don't let Mama skip telling everyone about it. We had a great time, and it was the best road trip finale a guy could ask for.

Tell Mabel I love her, we had so many great adventures together both virtually and in the furs! 

 

 

In fact, please let Blogville know how much I will miss them. It was such an honor to be the Mayor of such a fun and loving community. I am looking forward to having margaritas with Ruby and visiting Tucker's Everlasting Buffet! I can't wait to see to see Bilbo, Bailey, Hazel, Mango, Dexter, Sasha, Dennis, Trixie, Sugar, Declan, Lexi, Emma, Madi, Casey, Jessie, Whitley, Finley, Big Boy, Pocket, Foley and so many other Blogville Angels. Imagine the Thanksgiving pawty we'll be having! I am so lucky to have known you all and shared so many fun times with you all.

I know it's hard to say goodbye, but we will see each other again someday and I will always live furrever in your heart. I know you'll be a very good girl...and you'll be the bestest big sister ever!

 

Your loving brother,

Arty

Stormy Skies Over Joshua Tree NP

 

 Did you know that it storms in the desert??

That's right, during our visit to Joshua Tree NP, it went from blue skies....

 

 

 ...to dark and stormy skies!

 

 

 

 

The dark skies looked beautiful against the desert ground!

 

 

 The rains moved all around where we were!

 

 

 

 It was so cool watching the different cloud formations.

 

 

The sun came out, even when it was raining!!

 

 

 

 Even with all those stormy skies, we never got rained on!

 

A definite win, win situation!

 

 

Thanks for watching the skies with us today!

Join us next Tuesday when we wrap up our Joshua Tree adventure!

We hope you all get to see some interesting skies 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.

 

Travel Tuesday - Happy in the Twenty Nine Palms RV Park

 

 

 Today, we thought it would be nice to show you around the Twenty Nine Palms RV Park! We stayed here, in CeCe, while visiting the Joshua Tree NP and Palm Springs. We didn't count the Palm Trees, but we bet there were at least 29 of them!

 

 

 

It wasn't the nicest park we visited, but they did have some pretty sunsets! 

 

 

 We really think this was a great sign! 

Always have Pet Pride and make sure your humans pick up your poop!

 

 

 

 You could tell we were in the desert. There was LOTS of sand and not much grass. Luckily, both of us(Arty and Rosy) will do our business just about anywhere!

 

 

 

 They has a pretty mural on the electrical box. Of course, Mama insisted on a photo.

 

 

 

 

We spent most of our time out and about while we were at this park, but it was a nice place to come back and relax during the evenings!
