surgery on both her back luxating patellas, basically to secure her kneecaps and prevent any ACL problems in the future. It is a pretty routine surgery, but it does have its share of risks. Any POTP, prayers, good juju or positive thoughts, would be soooo appreciated!
Although the surgery is routine, Sunny will be recuperating for a total of 12 weeks.
On the other side of that 12 weeks, we are hoping she will be free from pain and a happier, less anxious pup. During that 12 weeks, well...if you have any extra POTP, you can send it my way!
Thank you in advance, we'll keep you updated on how the surgery goes!
We're celebrating Day 2 of my birthday week looking back over all the places I've gone in the past almost 5 years!
I don't mind traveling. I was never as comfy as Angel Arty was in the car but, once I'm settled in, I usually fall asleep and wake up when we get to where we're going. I chalk that up to going on my first road trip at only 3 months old when Mama and Daddy drove me home from Utah!
Mama and I made a road trip when I was about 8 months old to Kansas City, Missouri to attend BlogPaws 2018! What a fun time we had meeting new friends and learning lots. We are sad that our first conference was also the last BlogPaws conference.
Later the same year, Mama and I made a road trip to Texas! We followed Route 66 and stayed in fun hotels. Daddy joined us for the drive home and we stopped to see the aliens in Roswell, New Mexico! Who would have guessed, only a few years later, we would live only 3 hours away from those aliens!
Then we started RVing, and things got really fun!!
Being the Happiest Camper, I was lucky enough to visit Bryce Canyon twice, took a few trips down to Carmel and Monterey Bay...and explore from the mountains of Northern California to the Joshua Tree desert of Southern California!
Mama made a short-ish video of my travels through the years.
Howdy all, Fred the Flamingo and I are here today to celebrate Nature Friday with a look at some flowers we have blooming in our backyard!
First, Mama wanted me to thank you for all your thoughts during this ruff time, and apologize for missing Nature Friday last week. Thanks so much for your pawsitive thoughts and understanding.
Now, let's take a look at some flowers!
The Russian Sage is blooming a pretty purple
The hummingbirds really enjoy the Cedar Sage
The Blue Salvia is still blooming
The Prairie Coneflowers like to sway in the breeze
All these flowers sure do make us smile!
The Texas Yucca is blooming and is now growing these little seed pods! The pretty pale green looks pretty next to the pink flowers, don't you think?
I know we keep saying this, but Mama and I are amazed at the type of flowers blooming here in the high desert! We never thought we would see a giant hibiscus flower here in New Mexico!
There is a little pink Primrose patch right by the patio that surprised us when it started blooming!
This kniphofia also goes by the names "Red Hot Poker Plant" or "Torch Lily". We think it looks like a pretty sunset!
...and finally Mama's favorite, a deep red day lily!
Thanks for tagging along with Fred the Flamingo and me on this Flowery Nature Friday!
We hope everpawdy gets out to enjoy some flower fun this weekend!

Rosy's Birthday Month!! In honor of such a special month, I thought we would look at my favorite birdies to visit our backyard, the hummingbirds!
I love to watch them flit and fly from one feeder to the next! We have a few different kinds of hummingbirds,
but Mama is still up in the air on which on is which!
Sometimes they eat while they fly!
Just look at their little taloned feeties!
Mama has a few different feeders for them.
There is this one that has the nectar in the bottom of the feeder...
...and this one with the nectar stored in the top!
But we both love watching them find lunch in the flowers! Here is one looking for lunch in the Texas Yucca blooms!
Looks like he found a bit of pollen too!
That's a small look at our backyard hummers on parade!
We hope everyone's weekend goes hummingly!
From Mama: We will be on vacation for the next week or two while I travel to NJ to be with my sister upon the loss of her son.
We hope to have an update for you next Friday.
