Dogs In Hats

When you mix a hat with a dog you get really cute and funny results. So, I just could not resist having my dogs wear my cowgirl cap and photograph them. Lets say they were not the happiest dogs wearing it but they sure looked cute!

“Hey! I am Anna’s cowdog or would it be doggirl? I do not have a clue but I am sure styling this hat. “

“Excuse me. I cant see. Its all dark!”

“Yo, I am da dawg in da hood. Well, wait I mean dawg in the hat.”

“Take me out to the dog park. Take me to the people. Let me sniff the ground and get lots of love and maybe I will never come back” – Princess’ version of the song Take Me Out To The Ball Game.

“I am even cuter with this hat on. Now can I take it off?”

“My hat makes me tough. I should become a dog model.”

“I better get food after wearing this hat. Treat?”

This is how I spent my Thursday. Taking photos of my dogs in hats. It was fun and they kept their patience with me. Do not worry they got lots of love after. Hope everyone had a fun filled Thursday and smile because its Friday!

Princess Goes To School

It was more like Princess sneaks into school. So, yesterday I did not go to my technical school in the afternoon and two of my friends decided to spend time with me. The three of us walked to my house and of course Oliver and Lady were wary of them and barked but Princess was all friendly. Her face is so irresistable and loving. I decided I would walk back to school with them and take Princess to surprise my mom when she came to pick me up. When we got back to the school I thought it would be fun to sneak Princess in to meet my favorite counselor. Its Princess. My girl. The dog I always am talking about.

The challenge was how do I get this twenty five pound dog in the school without getting in trouble. So, I took my hoodie off and dressed her up in it. Princess looked like she was from da hood! It was cute and funny. She cooperated and just stayed still until i got in my counselors office. Princess has a lot of patience. Of course everyone there loved her. How can you not. She got smothered with love and she loved it. The best part was I told my mom to come to the counselors office so I could surprise her. First she thought it was someone else’s dog but then realized it was Princess. She was happy and confused about seeing Princess there.

I always wanted to bring Princess at least once into the school to meet my counselor since she loves animals. So, Princess and I accomplished that yesterday, If it was allowed I would bring Princess with me everyday and all day long but its not. She is my therapy dog. Helps me when I am down and is always there for me to hug and hold. I hope you all are staying snuggly warm in this cold weather and having a lovely fun weekend.

Christmas family Holidays

Christmas Eve Plus A Birthday

We just dont celebrate Christmas Eve today in my family. Today is also my Grandpas birthday. Even though he passed away a few years ago he is never forgotten. We may not be partying down here but I bet he is partying up in heaven. Telling his jokes to everyone and eating cake. My Grandpa was my father figure to me and he was the sweetest guy in the entire world. Happy Birthday Grampa. By the way, the photo above is my grandpa and I.

So, today I wrapped the three Christmas presents I got my mother. Took me a long time since I cant wrap. I forgot how to partially but I tried my best. Callie had fun getting in my way and playing with the wrapping paper. Silly cat. Anyways, I hope she will like the three gifts. I think she will. Its really the thought that counts. Cant show you the gifts yet but I will tomorrow. Keep patient. Santa will deliver them soon.

Yes, the dogs and the cat have gifts for Christmas too. They are part of the family so of course they are on the gift list. The dogs are lucky I did not find any cute clothes that I wanted for them this year. Hehe. This year the dogs are getting some treats and toys. For Callie’s first Christmas with us she is getting little toy mice to bat around. Sorry Callie no real mice allowed in my room.

I took these two photos of the dogs today. Well, I took a set but I thought I would just share two and these are the two favorites of mine. I was thinking how we needed some pack portrait. So, here are two Christmas portraits of my pack. Amazingly they all stayed still and cooperated. What do you think of them?

Before you know it Christmas will be here. So, I will wish everyone an early Christmas just in case you wont be around tomorrow. My grandma is coming over for Christmas, which will be nice. Its always great to have the family together. Hope everyone has a joyful Christmas and has fun. I will talk to you all soon and will post my Christmas day adventure tomorrow night. Ho Ho Ho! Merry Early Christmas.

Spirit of Christmas

The snow on the ground. The loads of people rushing around to gather their last few Christmas gifts. The smell of gingerbread and all the lights express the spirit of the holiday. I love Christmas and its not just because of the gifts. Its because the holiday brings everyone together. Seems to bring the love out of the people you usually dont see that much love from. Christmas is a time to be with family, friends and have a smile on your face.

I created this years Christmas card in photoshop. It was fun and I enjoyed making it. What do you think of it? Anyways, I hope everyone is excited for Christmas and is ready to get and give gifts to the ones you love and care about. Stay warm and full of Christmas spirit.

Snowy Sunday Romp

It snowed all day yesterday which gave us 3-5 inches of beautiful white snow to play in. Lets just say the dogs had a blast romping around, while I froze my tush off. Since the dogs felt like running and jumping through the snow I grabbed my camera and starting photographing the acttion…

There goes Oliver starting the playtime by getting lady to chase him. Look at that boy jump!

Lady is the least fond of snow so she just plays for a few minutes and then stands on the porch to watch. Doesnt she look cute in the christmas collar?

Oliver just kept jumping over that branch as if it was no difficulty. He would be so good at agility if he could keep focus for more than a second.

Oliver zooming by to see how fast he can go. Go Oliver go!

The opponent… Princess.

Oliver takes his jumping moves all over her. She stands strong.

Princess tries to bring Oliver to the ground. She fails.

Next, Oliver turns and slows down the Princess with his skilled moves.

Since Princess is middle aged the two opponents decided to take a quick break together before turning against each other.

Oliver stretching and showing off his cute Christmas shirt that says fleas navidad.

Look at that messy snowy face he has. Thats a face of fun.

Before going after Princess Oliver decided to see if Lady wants to join in…she refuses.

Now look at Princess’ face. She is showing off all the snow on her face. She wants to win the contest of most snow on face. You win girl!

Oliver trying to shove Princess out of the way because he thinks he has the better singing voice. I will let Lady decide on that one.

Oliver got what he wanted. He got Princess after him again. The challenge is back on.

Both standing strong. Who will take out who?

The race is on. Run!

A cropped version of the phoot above. You can see how serious Oliver is about winning. Making sure Princess wont pass him.

Ah, and Princess won the race! Dont worry Oliver there is always next time.

Yoda Princess romping around to celebrate.

Princess is hoping you all enjoyed the action and photos.

Stay tuned for the next challenge when the dogs decide to romp around again.

Peace.

Reflections

Hold On To Time

Running and jumping on the playground at my elementary school is a memory that seemed to happen just yesterday. I started out as a Kindergartner there and now I am senior in the high school. It makes me realize how time can go so fast and the memories that you keep. My favorite memory from being in the elementary school is the parent visit day in 5th grade. My mom came in my class and was sitting next to me when she said we are going to visit this dog up for adoption. I can still feel the big grin I made on my face that day and it is an unforgettable memory since the dog she told me about became part of my family and Mills will never be forgotten.

Time flies by and memories are made, but I am going to recommend trying to hold on to time as long as possible. Dont just let it pass. Endure it. Do something before you lose the time to make memories. Memories are important to have to make us alive and to share with friends and family. You might regret not using the time right in the past, but do everything you can now that will make good memories for you.

Playground Princess

It was freezing today but that did not stop Princess and I from going to the school playground near my house. I took my camera and camcorder, which means I got a few photos and video clips. There was no one there so we had it all to ourselves and got some important bonding time. Princess and I definitely need to go on more adventures together.

Chills of Winter

Cold, cloudy skies and the smell of winter means it will be here soon. Its coming in quickly and I am not ready for it. I do not wear real winter clothes. A t-shirt, a hoodie and jeans is what i mainly wear. That is probably why I get cold all the time but I do not like long sleeve shirts and heavy jackets. The best thing about winter is its great to snuggle up with a warm dog when you are chilly. Princess sleeps on the bed with me so whenever I wake up cold I just grab her and hold her in my arms. She is so warm and her fluffy hair is coming back too.

So, I am not a big fan of winter. I prefer the spring and summer but I can survive it. The cool air does feel nice at times. Just keep the snow away for a little longer. I am not ready to shovel quite yet. Maybe I will make a snow man this year if there is enough snow to. Before I go I have a question to ask. Do you like winter and why or why not? Hope you all had a lovely Wednesday and stayed warm and cozy. Make some hot chocolate and snuggle up in a nice blanket or with a warm dog. Peace.
