The raspberry you give your brother when he tries to pull off your
Beach Boy look!
Who do you think wears it better???

Michigan Nature Friday - Part 1
Rosy here on this first Nature Friday of August with the first of a three part series of the nature Mama saw when they visited Michigan last month.
This first part is made up of rest stop views along the ride to visit with Daddy's family.
Sometimes I think Mama is as obsessed with Midwestern farms as she is with lighthouses BOL.
Both Mama and Daddy were very impressed with the cleanliness and upkeep of Michigan Rest Areas. In fact, California could learn a BUNCH about rest stop upkeep from Michigan!
When I looked at the pictures of the Michigan rest area flowers on Mama's phone, for a minute I thought they were from Sequoia Gardens!
Just look how cheerful and pretty they are.
From the daisies...
...to the pink summer snapdragons...
...and purple snapdragons!
Mama's favorite was the Lantana.
Aren't the rainbow colors pretty???
We are glad you could join us today for some Michigan nature views. Next week I'll share Mama's
pictures from around the Lodge where she and Daddy(and Daddy's family) visited.
We hope your weekend is filled with beautiful views!!

Thankful for Patience - Training in Progress
This week our pack is thankful for the challenge of getting along.
Mama...why is HE out here???
Well Sunny, we want to show you Arty isn't as scary as you think he is!
I don't think he's scary Mama, I just don't like his face!
Well Rosy, we think it's time you and Arty spend more time getting to know each other.
Will there be cookies involved??
If you are nice and quiet and look at me when I ask, you can have lots of cookies!!
Mama, what is SHE doing out here??
Well Arty, you and Sunny need to start getting along better if we are going to be able to take family vacations. We are going to start with you both hanging out together outside...and then we'll move inside and see what happens.
I'll do my best to be patient Mama, as long as you keep those cookies coming!!
Cookies?? I might take on the challenge of being nice for cookies!!
From
Mama: Many of you already know Sunny and Arty do not get along. For
the most part they still live in different spaces, alternating times to
spend with "the pack". We have decided it's time to get Sunny and Arty
to a point where they can tolerate each other in a closer space. We know if we don't introduce them to the idea of living in a
smaller space together soon, we may never have peace or get to travel as a
full pack in CeCe. Our goal to slowly get them to share a space without constant barking or fear of violence.
We
know there is a chance one or the other may always need to be crated
and we know they will never be able to be left alone in the same space,
but we are determined and thankful for the challenge to be able to live
in a more peaceful pack situation.

The Pawrent's Travel Tuesday by Rosy
A few weeks ago, Mama and Daddy traveled without us for the first time in a LONG time! We missed them tons but it was nice to spend time with our nannies too.
Plus, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder right??
Anyway, I told Mama she could post her pictures here if she would let me share her journey with you all!
(Thanks to my good friend Xena for this idea!)
Mama thought it would be great flying again...but alas, there were a few delays and she and Daddy had to wear muzzles for the 14 hours they spent traveling each wa. Needless to say they don't think they'll be flying again for awhile....
Of course, I'm sure they would have had a better time in the airports if I would have been there.
They flew into Detroit, Michigan and took a nice car ride from the Airport to the Lodge where they were meeting Daddy's family.
I bet it would have been nicer in CeCe with me...
But anyway...
Along the way North, they stopped in Frankenmuth, a pretty German town and home of the famous Bronner's Christmas store where Mama has always wanted to visit.
Bronner's opened in 1945 and claims to be biggest Christmas store in the world!
Mama told me they had so many ornaments it would have taken days to see all of them!
The store wasn't all they had though, there were all kinds of outside decorations too.
They even have their very own Santa!
Arty
told me that my Angel Big Brother Bilbo's Best Gal, Angel Sasha used to
visit here all the time in the Winter back in "the day".
Hopefully we can take CeCe back here one day and visit when all the lights are lit
(and I can be there too!!).
Now Daddy, when are you going to retire can take us to Michigan in CeCe??
