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.....

{Image Credit}
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?


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

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

Memory Rewind - Baby Nano

Link up your Memory Rewind on Maria's Space and bring out those pictures from a couple of years ago and journal about them.
This is Nano Bytes Shewbridge just a few days after we got him in June 2008... he was SO tiny and his hair was so short.  He was so afraid of everything, but loved to be held and cuddled, something he STILL loves to do. 
Now you all know why we have spoiled him as much as
