Lately, Mama has gone a little cartoon crazy...
No, not watching silly cartoons on TV....
She has been making Sunny and I into cartoons!!
You have to admit it though, Rosy...
We do look pretty cute!

Flowers on Nature Friday(ABQ-BG Part 2)
Rosy here on this beautiful Nature Friday for Part 2 of Mama's trip to the Albuquerque Botanical Garden!
This week we're going to meander around the Mediterranean Conservatory and see some pretty flowers.
The bromeliad have us wishing for some tropical weather instead of the cool winds and snow flurries in the forecast this week.
The reds are so very dreamy....
...and the white bromeliad seem to glow in the sunlight
Hmmmm Mama, I don't think Cyclamen grows in just the Mediterranean but I do love the red flowers. Plus, look at the design on the leaves, very cool!
This is Aeschynanthus Radicans, also known as the Lipstick Plant. The maroon flowers do kinda look like one of Mama's lipstick tubes.
These flowers are warming me up already! Let's see what else Mama found.
Here we have a bloom from the Fan Aloe plan.
Of course, Mama loves the orange!
A pretty pink Forest Lily
You can count on Mama to almost always find an Orchid, they are her "lighthouse" of flowers!
Last, but certainly not least, Mama's(and mine too) favorite flower she saw on this particular day, the Peppermint Geranium.It was so delicate and small, yet check out the beautiful shades of pink and the bright orange of its stamen!
Thanks so much for joining us for this flowery edition of Nature Friday, we hope it helped warm those in chillier climates!
We hope you all get out and see some colorful nature this weekend!

Thankful Thursday - Sister Time
Today, we are thankful that we get to hang out and play together!
Right now, we have one to two hour playtimes together twice a day. Mama says we spend about half of it doing this...
....and this!
Here is a video the Mamarazzi prepared of us learning to play together again.
Mama and Daddy are so grateful we are getting along and playing again!! We even can eat in the same room now!
Next up....learning how to relax together and not get possessive of Mama and/or Daddy when they are on the couch in the family room reading or watching TeeVee....
Wish us luck!!!

Getting to Know You....Again
*sniff, sniff* You don't smell any different, Rosy
Did you have chicken for breakfast????
I don't know why every human made such a big deal....
Why don't we just pick up where we left off ?!
From the Pawrents: We were a bit worried it would be a long haul for Sunny and Rosy to get along. We are happy to announce, we were wrong. We started off a couple of weeks ago with both pups outside on long leashes for meet and greets. As you can tell, although Rosy was a bit wary, they got along just fine. Stay tuned Thursday to see how things are progressing...let's just say that, so far, we are a very Happy Family!
We are joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!

To Chapeau or Not to Chapeau
Mama, we look just fine...we don't need hats, right Rosy?
That's right Mama, these bandanas are just fine....
Les sigh...I suppose we could wear hats if you insist.
Speak for yourself Rosy!
What do you think?
Hats...or no hats?

Winter at the Botanical Garden(Part One)
From Mama and Daddy: Thank you so very much for all your kind words during the past week. It meant so much to have such a loving community of friends surrounding us as Jakey made his journey across the Rainbow Bridge.
Now...we hand things off to Rosy!
Happy Nature Friday efurrybody! Today, we are going to take a look and see what Winter is looking like at the Albuquerque Botanical Gardens!
Hmmmph! Pretty boring Mama!
There are no leafs on the trees and no flowers anywhere!
OK, so maybe there are some cool seed pods....
...and pretty red berries.
Wow, looks like we even have some yellow berries. Mama thinks they may be soap berries.
WAIT....IS THAT A BUNNY IN THE YARD???
Ooops, sorry...false alarm. It was just a rock.
After enjoying the morning sun, Mama went into a big solarium and saw some native plants.
Here is some prickly pear cactus growing upward!
Mama found an Agave succulent stuck in a corner...
Mama calls this a Donkey's Tail Cactus but, after looking it up, this type of succulent is also called sedum. This is weird, because there is also a flower called sedum...oh well.
Check out these cool brown fuzzies!
Mama found them on the top of this Golden Barrel Cactus!
After she visited the Native Plants solarium, Mama took a walk over to look at some actual flowers. You'll have to stay tuned next week to see them though!
Thanks for joining us for Nature Friday this week, I am off to see what Sunny is up to.
In the meantime, we hope everyone gets to enjoy some nature this weekend!
