Happy 6th Birthday Mai-Li

.

Our little Mai-Li turned six years old today... my how quickly they grow up.  So she had a bath and got all purdied up and we took her along with Nano, Mia and Mandie out to Shannon's Irish Pub for brunch this morning.



Then we walked around the Farmer's Market, where everyone admired how wonderful she looked for her age, and mommy bought some flan for dessert tonight. Mai-Li will get a

Welcome to Wordless Wednesday.... You know that I have a billion photos of my fur-babies, so here is one of Lady Mia and Mai-Li, whom we lovingly refer to as "Sister Wives" because they both have children from the same male Yorkie (who unfortunately passed away last year).

Mommy and Me Monday ~ Like My New Hat??

Hosted by Krystyn at Really, Are You Serious?


Welcome to another edition to Mommy and Me Monday.....

Since I don't have any little ones in my house anymore, y'all know that I post photos of my fur-babies, well on this particular day, Mai-Li was trying to get my attention while I was working on the computer and I wasn't responding enough to her liking, so this is what she decided to do:

365 Project - January 10th: Mai-Li and her Online Boyfriend, Charlie

.


Mai-Li loves to sit on my lap and look for her friend, Charlie the Pug, in the computer as he "cleans" the inside of the screen for me. When I go to another website, Mai-Li tries to figure out where Charlie went by looking under, around and over the monitor... It really is too funny.  ENJOY:



Isn't she just a cutie?

WORDLESS
I know I'm a day late for Wordless Wednesday and I missed my photo for my 365Project yesterday, but I never got on the computer yesterday.  Heck, I didn't even get out of bed until 4:30p.m. because of a horrendous migraine - those of you who suffer from them know exactly what I mean and those of you who don't, be VERY grateful.  So.... here is my photo for Wordless Wednesday and

Doggie Photo Shoot

The other day, with lots of help from my ever supportive and patient husband Bill, I did a photo shoot with all the doggies after they had all had a bath. {This time I did their baths in shifts, three at a time, TeeHee}.  Here are the best ones out of about 30 photos.....



These are the three Yorkies that we are dog-sitting: Maila, Mai-Li, and Mumbo

These are our three doggies: Lady Mia,

What I've Been Dealing With For a Month.....

Ok, not quite ALL month, Nano and Lady Mia are both house broken, but the three dogs that we are dog sitting, not so much, and I am trying to teach them to go outside or at least on the puppy pads.  I am having some success, but they are still having some accidents around the house.  Poor Bill has washed the carpet four times already, he is such a great guy!  But each time they

How we Accomplish Bathtime at Our House

First you have to get everybody nekked, take out the girls bows and ponytails, and line them all up on the counter while the tub is filling with water.


Then you put all five of them in the tub and try to keep them in there.....

That generally doesn't work, so mommy ends up getting in the tub with them.


  Everyone gets scrubbed up and then conditioned with a special shampoo and conditioner

My Emails Have Disappeared... AGH!!!

I have NO idea what happened and I have no idea how to fix it, but I had fallen asleep around 5:30pm today {courtesy of some Yorkies waking me up at 2:15, 4:38 and 6:37 this morning} and woke up around 7:00 and started to make dinner.  Bill asked me what happened to all my emails, I must have been working really hard this afternoon.  When I asked him how many I had, he said 22, which I knew was

Fun with Five Yorkies

Do you know how hard it is to get 5 dogs to to look at a camera at the same time?


Mia and Mai-Li

Mia and MailaPlease, don't take our picture mommy, our hair is a mess!!

MailaWhy I'm finding it hard to get any work done.....

Those are just a few of the pictures I have taken of all these beautiful babies.  I'll be certain to share more later in the week.  Hope you

Where Do Five Yorkies Sleep?

Right with mommy, of course!


This can make for some really cramped quarters because Bill and I only have a queen size bed.  We are lucky that they all don't want to stay in the bed all night, but Maila (the littlest one) stays there all night.  The rest tend to get up and down all through the night - it can make for a very fitful evening.
But if you look at these faces, you can understand why

I Will Be Busy This Week

I hope you will forgive me if I don't post too often this week of fall behind on my visits to your blogs and returning emails (if you even get them at all).  You see, I will be really busy this week:


You all know the two on the left, Nano and Lady Mia, the three on the right are: Mumbo, Mai-Li, and Mila... they belong to a very good friend of mine who had a family emergency and had to go out of
