Maiden Rainbow: Sweet as a marshmallow with curly waves to boot

Dame Teddy Bears: Does ANYONE else get Mini Me Ernie McDoodle flashbacks or just me?!? I might be slightly obsessed and absolutely calling her Baby Ernie Teddy Bear

Duchess Blue Lagoon: Our waviest apricot girl who always can be found with her tail wagging

Mister Camo Boy: Our reddest curly boy with his little 'milk nose' who has been melting hearts since day one

Sir Blue Argyle:  Apricot, check! Curly, check! Pink Argyles fraternal twin? Also check hahaha. This guy is handsome and he KNOWS it

Fresh Picked Happiness

 I found a wild black raspberry bush starting on the sunnier side of our property and I have been slowly stalking it since I found it in the fall. 

May 28th (SEE STALKING)

We have a CHANCE

June 5th

June 6th

June 8th- RIP to this berry that was snorked by a bird... I hope the bird savored every bite!

June 13th

AND READY!!

Our backyard haul!!!

Moment of truth....

Hazel is the SWEETEST girl on this planet. She made sure everyone got a berry to try together

(And as the mom of two very berry fruit bats, it was my only bite, their joy is worth all the plant stalking in the world)

Our resident red raspberry monster trying a fresh black raspberry for the first time

That face says everything you need to know

And in case it didn't, the gigantic handful he tried to snatch right after should HAHA!

Fresh picked happiness

I love you both 

BERRY much

Until the next black raspberry bunch ripens...

We will be watching

And waiting with our colander at the ready!

Thank you for the fresh picked happiness Mother Nature!

Always,

Amelia

Confident Caturday

 Our little Devon Rex kittens are becoming more playful and adventurous by the day! As they continue to grow it is so fun to watch their confidence blossom too.

See that feather? I bet I could catch it 

POUNCE

You see that girls!?! Just keep...

Your eyes...

On the...

Feather! AHA!!! GOTCHA!

Woah! That was FAST

I can do it too!!!

And they played and played and played until they couldn't keep their eyes open another second longer. 

Oh little Devons, how we adore you!!

Keep that confidence coming!

Happy Caturday!

Always,

Amelia

Swing Time!

One of the many perks to also having a smaller dog like our Havanese is their never-ending lap sized love! YES Ernie McDoodle still thinks he's lap size, but 98lbs on your lap just isn't AS cozy as it could be. I frequently try to encourage Ernie to cuddle NEXT to me instead of directly ON me... but I digress.  

With their PAWfect compact size, our Havanese and I have developed a bit of a hilarious routine that I am absolutely obsessed with....

It's Swing O' Clock! 

Every day the Havanese watch me put Thatcher down for his nap, get Hazel ready to play outside, and when I go to grab the baby monitor, ALL tails are wagging. It is time to head outside.

And once another yard clean up from potty breaks is finished and the doggy zoomies have been released.... There is only one thing left to do

Swing time! 

I don't even have to call them over! They just wait like this as soon as they see me walk towards our big bench swing

Today was Kipper's turn to swing with me first

Lulu says she does NOT remember going first yesterday

10/10 would like to go next 

I would put them both on my lap at the same time, but Kipper REALLY likes to lounge during his turn

Another Swing O'Clock Success!

Swing Ready for the next snuggly pup!

May you always find Tail-Wagging Devotion in all that you do <3 

Always,

Amelia

Little Deer Daycare

 My neighbor and I have been so excited that a Mama deer had her little baby right between our houses! We have a nice set of shady trees and fluffy grass and she had them right there where we can see it from our windows!

Now every morning I have messages on my phone from my neighbor letting me know if our little fawn is out and about.

It's little deer daycare!

Mama drops baby off early in the morning, when my neighbor is awake, in a nice shady spot

Then as the morning progresses and my family gets up we get to say hello to the baby deer and see its beautiful brown hair with the whitest spots glitter in the sunshine. 

And just like clockwork, Mama deer comes back and picks up her baby and they go into our woods!

Hello little one! 

Welcome to Little Deer Daycare!

Always,

Amelia

Water "Dogs"

 If you remember in previous blogs, Hazel LOVES to play pretend and one of her biggest imaginative play 'topics' if you will, is "Mommy I am a Puppy Dog!". Being surrounded by Tail-Wagging Devotion Hazel is in fact a GREAT puppy dog. Hazel barks at cars driving up the driveway (sorry deliveries!) the Mailman (sorry really nice guy!), our neighbors (you guys are the best) and also has PAWfected the ARF of whining like a puppy when she needs something, is upset by something, is in trouble for something.... you get the picture. I would honestly think she would have stopped the whining puppy sounds by now as I TRAIN puppies for a living and thats basically white noise to me HAHAHA! But Alas, Hazel the puppy dog is going STRONG in our household...

When I was out watering our newly planted marigolds, Maverick the silly senior that he is, decided he wanted to play in the water spray from the hose and play catch the water with his mouth. When Hazel saw this the thoughts in her brain could be seen on her face and endless giggles and woofing ensued as "HAZEL PUPPY IS HOT TOO MAMA! ARF ARF ARF!" And she stepped into the water spray as well.

Buckle your seatbelts because this is about to be ADORABLE

Maverick barking, jumping, and prancing... Demanding to be misted

Pure happiness on a dog <3

Hazel puppy joining in the fun

"Look Mama! Hazel puppy is like Maverick!"

Honestly, she's not wrong! Hazel puppy IS just like Maverick!

"I'm playing in the water! ARF ARF!"

Alright Hazel puppy! Nellie is on 'Me Time Break', want to play her favorite water game?

Fetch the water sprays!

Make sure you find all the little droplets!

Good "doggies"!

"AGAIN MAMA AGAIN!"

And so we played

And splashed

Until all the plants...

Doggies...

And basically the entire yard...

Was watered in pure...

Happiness and

Water Dog Tail-Wagging Devotion!

May all your Water "Dogs" find a fun way to play today!

Always,

Amelia
