Self-Portrait Sunday ~~ Lying on the Floor

.






My friend Maria over at Maria's Space started this meme to get us out from BEHIND the camera and showcase our own lovely faces on our blogs.... We don't want to have a blog full of our family, friends and children and when we go back years later and wonder.... where the heck were we and what did we look like?


We took four of the dogs out for brunch this morning to celebrate Mai-Li's

Ten Most Common Pet Poisons

.

Poor Mumbo was sick the other day - he was so miserable, just look at him, isn't it so sad. I knew that he hadn't eaten any new food, so I went looking on some of my trusted sites on the internet to see if there was anything that he may have gotten into that could have made him sick.  While I couldn't find anything that may have made him sick, I figure maybe he just had a bug, and BTW, he is

Mommy and Me Monday: Mommy and Mumbo Watching TV

.

Hosted by Krystyn at Really, Are You Serious?  Welcome to another edition of Mommy & Me Monday.....

When I sit in my chair in the family room, at least 4 of our doggies sit with me on the chair (right now there are 5 with me because Nano is on the ottoman), either behind me on the back of the chair or on the arms.  Here is a picture of me and Mumbo as we are watching TV {of course my ever

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,

Studious Yorkie

This is Mumbo, the biggest of the Yorkies at our house right now.  He is 2 years old and is the one that watches over the little ones, he makes sure that they are all OK whenever he hears them bark, whine or make any kind of noise.  He is such a sweetie to me, he loves to cuddle with me and loves to have his belly scratched.  I was trying to read the other day during some down time while we were

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
