Sepia Saturday - Weary Travelers

 Arty and I were so worn out after our first day of travel, that we fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillow...

Road Trips are hard work!!

Read more about our fun road trip next week!

We are joining Ruckus and Earl for Sepia Saturday

Flower Friday

Welcome to our First Official Flower Friday Blog Hop of 2016!!

Before we start looking at this weeks selection, Jakey wanted to make sure we said thank you to everyone who stopped by to wish him a Happy Birthday, we also got a very sweet birthday card from
another Birthday Boy and his sister. 

Thanks so much to Hailey and Phod for the pawsome card and we wanted to say....

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHOD!!!
Make sure you stop by to say Happy Birthday to  Phod his Mama is having a Comment-a-thon

Now...on to this week's flowers! This week we have some tree blooms 
and one flower that is found by the trees....

This is a Western Trillium Flower. Mama found this one on the ground under of a grove of Redwood Trees.

Here are cherry blooms from our very own cherry tree!!

 We were worried all the trees might be confused about what season it was, but an tons of sun after bunches of rain have all the trees remembering it's Spring, yay!!!

Mama wants to say this is some kind of lilac, because they smell so good, but she doesn't know for sure.

Mama found these on one of her country drives and they look kind of like our cherry tree flowers.

What do you think??  It could be some kind of apple blossom too (they grow wild around here)

Thanks for joining us for our First Flower Friday of 2016 and please join us for the Flower Friday Blog Hop by posting some of your flowers as the appear in your corner of the world,  and hopping aboard!!

Happy Birthday Jakey!!

Wordless Wednesday - Gardening

 We are joining  BlogPaws for Wordless Wednesday this week!

A Final Thumbs Up for Holistic Blend - #ChewyInfluencer

 We wanted to stop by and let you know our final thoughts on 

Holistic Blends Lamb and Rice All Life Stages Dog Food.

We have been trying is out  for the past 30 days or so as #ChewyInfluencers !  

If you missed our first two post click on the links below to catch up:

Second Post Here

 Mama loves it because it covers all "Life Stages".  We here at Dory's Backyard cover a range of ages from 3 to almost 14, so it really helps to have a food that all of us can eat!! We definitely recommend Holistic Blends All Life Stages to households with dogs in different age groups!

 We all like it because it is small and crunchy, just right for our little mouths! Not to mention the Lamb and Rice tastes totally DELISH!!!

 Even Bilbo likes it....which makes everydoggy (and pawrent)

happy!!!

Since we are all in agreement, we have asked Mama to keep this as our new kibble. She will schedule a new Chewy  Autoship as soon as she figures out how long it takes us to go through a whole bag of food.  We just love Chewy.com's Autoship program.  Mama has our kibble, Greenies and even our hip medicine autoshipped!! This way we never run out!  Read more about Chewy's Autoship Program over at Chewy.com

As you might have guessed already, we give Holistic Blends Lamb and Rice All Stages Dog Food 16 paws up and would definitely recommend this to our friends in Blogville!!

We are joining the Chewy.com Blogger Network Blog Hop on the 3rd Tuesday of March!! Thanks Sugar and Oz for hosting!

We were not compensated for this review. We received a 30 day supply of Holistic Blend Lamb and Rice All Life Stages Dog Food in exchange for our (and Mama's) honest opinions.

Monday Minders

 I can't believe it is the last week of March already!!

2016 sure is flying by!

Mama finally sent our pictures over to Hailey and Phod's for Phod's No Fooling 5th Birthday Bash, have you gotten your pictures in yet??

 We are going to help Phod celebrate by having our first Flower Friday Blog Hop this Friday!

 Mama bought me a new dress and hat especially for the occasion!

 Our Jakey is celebrating his 9th Barkday this Thursday! We are having a small celebration for him Thursday morning, before Arty and I leave on our "practice" road trip.  

Make sure to stop by and get a slice of Greenie cake!

 

 Arty and I hit the road on Thursday for our road trip!!

 Mama says we will be going over the mountains, then heading north, and then heading west until we see Arty's ocean!! It should be a very F-U-N ride and Arty and I have promised to be on our best behavior! 

 

Then Flower Friday will be here, ZOOM,  this week is going to FLY BY!!!  This year we will be having a Flower Friday Blog Hop, so make sure to show us your flowers (real or imaginary) and link on up!!

Happy Easter!

A Very Happy and Blessed Easter to all who celebrate!
