Glen Arbor Park

Just another day at the park..
Glen Arbor Park in Murrieta, CA
Essa enjoys visiting everyday to play with her friends.. running and romping and wrestling..and getting pretty tuckered out by the end of an hour!
We've met all kinds of dogs.. all different breeds.. all different personalities..and everyone gets along very well!
Socializing is soooo important at a young age..Im so glad we found this place..and so glad to have made new friends .. both four-legged and the two legged kind :)

oh that face...

i just can't get enough of this face...


need pics of your pets???
give me a shout!

and then there's THIS face.. lil Mz Penny..

who's battling the fight with Leukemia right now..and so the Pfatties ebay group have rallied and created a special auction to help raise money for the Leukemia - Alabama Chapter for Miss Penny..
I do hope you'll pass the word.. feel free to grab this banner and post it all over the web..and stop by the auction scheduled to start on Valentine's Day..

oooooo that face!!!!

Lil Miss Essa..

im so in love with this face

im head over heels over puppy breath!!

Hi..My name is Sandy..and it's been 2 days since my last whiff of Puppy Breath and Im going thru Withdrawals!!

Sara and her roommate just got a PUPPY! And we had the pleasure of meeting her..and playing with her..and lovin' on her :)

Meet "Skyy"

She's a 3 mos. old blue-nose pit..and has just melted my heart!!

She still even has puppy breath!!!!!! :)

I think Im in Love :)

I have to devise a plan to dognap her!!

or this!
It's Sara's Red Tail Boa..
she's very pretty :)

But this face.. look at it!!!
I just can't stop lookin at her and saying .."Awwwwwwww"

:)

Do you ever feel......

Ever get that feeling that you're always on the outside..looking in????

That 'life' just keeps piling up?? And that the slightest shift could send us all reeling??

Ever feel that there are so many twists and turns to life..its a wonder we ever make it thru?

Do you envy the song bird that gets to float along and sing a pretty tune?

Ever want to go down the road less traveled..but find yourself without any traction?

...Who let the Dogs Out...

Man..there's nothing greater than the light reflecting off the snow to capture some pretty shots! This is "Oscar"..my brother's dog who lives at my Mom and Dad's house. He's still a puppy.. (7 mos. old)..and is a HORSE! He jumps up on me..he's TALLER than me!! NOT FAIR!

Home at Last...

ahhhhhh...
pardon the sand spilling out from my jean cuffs..
and the windblown hairstyle..
and my laid-back attitude..
but I've just returned from a week at the beach..and will need some time to re-adjust to 'life' :)

I figured by making a slideshow...it might be easier to post instead of allllll of those pictures...


We had a great time..the cool weather..the ocean surf..even waking up to the pitter-patter of raindrops on our RV roof was just heaven to my ears :)
I hope I can get the sand outta my head and buckle back down to work here soon..
someone shake me..
shake me hard.
:)

Thank you to Natalie and Arlene for identifying this yucky, gross bug!! :)
Its a "Jerusalem Cricket' or potato bug...
now I can go back to hiding under my covers ...

ewww

tired of Tippy shots yet???

ok...so I don't have any babies to take pictures of here.. so poor Tippy and Honey have to be my poor subjects and put up with the clicking of my camera..

gotta love Paws...'specially lil pink ones :)


Tip thinks this is a total waste of his time..and is so bored with me..

Honey could care-less...she was happily content just snoozin' away the afternoon.. when I had to interrupt her beauty sleep..

Tim calls her 'the Meatloaf"..

look at that belly!! lord!! she should be a pot-bellied pig!

"Oh we're so bored with you..'

"What the deuce, woman??" (i can just hear Tippy in his best 'Stewie" voice)

and yum..my fav.. grilled asparagus..

tim spoils me :)

been playing...

... we went to Vail Lake last weekend..and had fun playing in the hills and wildflowers..

and also with our new 'toy'.. a Jeep!

Now we will be able to tow it behind the rv..and be able to go exploring on our little trips that we take! Im soooo excited! :)
There's been times on our trips we would have liked a car to get into town or to go exploring with..and sometimes those things are just too far to do on a bicycle. Well..we found a used Jeep at a local dealership here and just had to jump on it!
Now Tim will have something to play with and 'trick out'.. he can't wait to start pimpin' his ride! lol
This new toy brings back such great memories.... Tim used to have a 1949 Willies jeep when we were dating..and we used to have SOOOO much fun getting into trouble with that thing!!
I don't know how many farmers back-40's we've plowed thru..or some real deep mud pits that we had to be pulled outta..and rock piles we've climbed over..and even slammed it into a snowbank once (not on purpose)..and ended filling the back end of the poor jeep with a bunch of snow from hitting the bank!
ahhhhhhhh...the fun...
I think we'll take much better care of this one tho... and no snowbanks to run into lol

more charms available...

While the clouds were passing overhead..it was good to sit inside and put together more charms :)

I know..I know..I should be cleaning.. and getting things ready for our trip.. but I will most likely wait til the last minute to do that... I just hate passing up a good cloudy, misty day..it's the perfect time for doodling.. painting..creating...
