Wordless Wednesday: What Mommy? We're Trying to Sleep!

.





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 ~ Resting with Lady Mia

Hosted by Krystyn at Really, Are You Serious?

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


Each of the babies has been taking turns snuggling with me during my naps each day since I got out of the hospital. This day it was Lady Mia's turn. She is Nano's mama and the second doggie we adopted. She is really attached to Bill, but makes sure I am OK every day. Gotta love my puppies.

This is my little Lady Mia lying on the chair asking to have her belly rubbed... She and Nano are the ones who really love to have their bellies scratched, the other babies, not so much.

I Have a Favor to Ask of You.....

I have entered one of my doggies in a contest on Facebook for PetSmart.  Here is the photo that I have submitted of Lady Mia in her Halloween costume, if she wins, she will win a part in a PetSmart commercial.  Well, I think she is definitely cute enough, but I'm not the one judging, so I would really appreciate if you would go over to Facebook and vote for my baby.



Thank you so much for

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

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

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?

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

Mommy and Me Monday - July 19, 2010

 

It’s time again for Mommy and Me Monday started by Krystyn over at Really, Are You Serious?  Pop out from behind that camera and capture yourself in action with your kids. Check out the inaugural Mommy and Me Monday for more information.

As most of you know, Bill and I take the doggies on a walk every morning in our little town for about a mile and a half.  Because of my spinal problems and

Caught in the Rain

One day last week on our walk, we were just on our way home (about 1/2 mile from the house) and it started to rain.  We took shelter under one of "nature's umbrellas" - because I forgot to bring one of our own - a big beautiful tree.  This seemed to keep us mostly dry for about 10 minutes until it really started coming down and we started getting soaked.  We finally gave in and started walking

Nano and Mia Make a New Friend

On our walk the other day, we ran into a little creature that the babies had never seen before... a snail.




I've actually never seen a snail this close up outside it's shell, it is kind-of cute.

Until next time..... Lorie

Our Week in Random Photos

I thought I'd share with you what we've been up to lately through some random photographs that I've taken.

These are my favorite sandals that I wear every day...

Can you tell???? {Please ignore the desperately in need of a pedicure toes!}

This butterfly we ran into during one of our walks... I have never seen one like it before, nor have I seen one since. I love the green color and the fuzzy
