Monday Herby Garden Mischief

The weather has been beautiful for the past couple of days, so Mama has been busy getting some nommies that grow in the ground planted.

Nommies...that grow in the ground??? Sounds like something that I, Dory, may have to check out!

Mama says this is Bay Sill. She will use it in salads and sauces and stuff

What's this stuff over here Mama...it smells like lemons!!

Mama says it is a lemony herb to help keep the skeeters off of the porch.

I think I need a closer look at this minty stuff.....

It appears that walking around in the new herb-y garden is frowned upon at our house....oops!!

Happy Monday!!

Almost Black and White Sunday

Arty and his yellow flowers

 

Happy Black and White Sunday

Thanks to Sugar and Nola for hosting!!

Sepia Saturday -Shore Version

We (well at least me, Arty) haven't been to my ocean lately...but Mama drives by it everyday to make sure it is still there....Here is a picture she took in between the rain showers this week.

Mama you can take a picture  of them

BUT you better not take any of my shell collection!

On a more serious note, in case you didn't know,  Sasha's Daddy had an operation yesterday. It looks like all is going to be ok, but he needs the Power of the Paw. If you haven't already, please stop by and let Sasha know you are thinking of her and her humans.

Happy Sepia Saturday!

Thanks to Ruckus for hosting 

another fun blog hop!

Flower Friday

 

Mama and her opposable thumbs is pushing her luck a bit and posting pictures

of FLOWERS on our bloggy...Isn't that why you have your OWN bloggy Mama??

She says that there used to be a Flower Friday during the spring and summer on all of our friends bloggies..PLUS there would be pictures of US in some of the pictures.....so we decided she could have our permission!

 

 Here is an ummmmmm Road A DumDum...It was raining so it is a little wet...

Here are blossoms on our Cherry tree in the back...Mama says that there will be CHERRIES on this tree, how cool is that?!!

Here is a silly purple flower.....

ARTY....BE NICE!!! That is a purple DAISY flower.....

Sorry about Arty, he doesn't appreciate flowers like me and Mama do!!! 

*Sigh.....some boys*

This is another RHODODENDRON

(NOT  Road A DumDum.....silly Arty!!)

This is one of Mama and my most favorite flowers...it is Jasmine!! Mama cuts stems of these beauties off to put is vases all around the house because it smells so very nommy!!!!

We will be having Flower Fridays from now until the end of summer! Please feel free to grab our Friday Flower Badge at the top of the post and join in if you want to! It's a good way to get your pawrents to take you for walks in the park or even just keep you company in the backyard!!

Thoughtful Thoughtless Thursday

Earlier this week, the co-host of Thoughtless Thursday Being Loved by a Husky, gave us the Sunshine Award!! Thanks so much you guys, that was very sweet and we are honored!!!

 
We took a big break from Bloggyland while we were moving. Since we have met so many new friends we thought we would follow SOME of the rules on this award and tell them 10 things about us!

1.  I, Dory, started blogging 5 years ago when it was just Bilbo and I in the house. One year later we gots Jakey and last year Mama had her first "foster failure". Her failure was really the family's gain and his name is Arty.

2.  We all moved to Northern California from Central Texas last year and WOW what a difference...there are NO Squirrels here!!!

 

3. Mama has her own bloggie now called Thru My Looking Glass, where she puts her artsy pictures (she takes a picture a day and posts it there)

 

 4. Bilbo loves his sweater vests. He got his very first sweater vest thanks to Frankie Furter during Jazzi's very first Christmas gift exchange. Since then we tend to call him Professor Bilbo. Click here to see the full post.

5. Jakey is addicted to stuffy squeakers and is thinking about joining SA (Squeakers Anonomys)

 

6. Arty is a den puppy, he loves to sleep in his room every night and goes to bed when Mama and Daddy are done watching their shows and turn off the TV!

 

7. Jakey and I are NOT den animals and have ummm persuaded  Mama and Daddy to let us sleep in the big bed with them.  
( Ok, so maybe persuaded means Jakey cried and cried until they let him in and I told them there was NO way Jakey was sleeping in the big bed with out me!)

 

8. Dory and I(Arty) enjoy modeling for Mama, mostly because lots of treats are involved BOL.

 

9. Jakey always instigates a game of zoomy bitey face after dinner.  It starts outside and ends up with us running around the coffee table inside. Boy is it FUN!!


  

10. Some of you asked about how Bilbo eats dinner  his way without us eating his food?? Well, Bilbo eats his dinner at night while Arty is in his room and we are sleeping....he's a pretty smart old dude!

We are also suppose to forward this on to ten of our friends, but rules were meant to be broken :-)

 Feel free to keep this award for yourself if you don't have it already.

Thanks again to Being Loved by a Husky for the cool award and thanks to them and Ruckus for hosting Thoughtless Thursday!

Wordless Wednesday - Arty's Garden

Toasty Tuesday

 

Brrrrrr.......It's still rainy and chilly here in Northwest California....

I told Mama to start a fire to keep us puppies toasty!!

We hope things are thawing out for all of you with WAY cold weather!
