happy holidays













Happy Holidays! It has been quite a while since my last post. Luckily the celebration of Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances so here I go... blogging here has become so annoying with my photos refusing to download and the layout appearing all whacked out that I no longer want to do this blog. WTF blogger.com? I don't have 5 hours to spend on each post!! And still be unhappy with what ends up posted!! GRRRR. Today blogger.com just refuses to download my picture of our tree this year. We got an Oriental Spruce - alive so it can be planted in the front yard after the Holidays. It's lovely, it really is, trust me. But since you cannot see it, please enjoy my photos of Lottie and Minnow. I wish I could prove that I DO take photos of more than just dogs. I will be using Pinterest for my photos and ideas so find me there if you like. Perhaps I'll start posting again on Tumblr. Who knows.

To protect our Chrismas tree from Minnow's destructive ways, Mark built a nice wooden box around the pot it's planted in. Minnow loves to get into the dirt in a potted plant! I think she still managed to destroy about 8 ornaments but the tree itself survived - hooray!

Our annual holiday hot sauce was finally bottled on Christmas Eve and look out! This year Mark created two different sauces and both of them are HOT! The red one is brutal.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Here's to a creative and fun 2014 filled with puppies and home improvement projects and design ideas and love.

gathering of the hounds


greyhound cuteness overload!  these are some of the beautiful hounds that posed for me at the Great Lakes Greyhound of Indiana's event today.  (yes there was a teacup chihuahua hanging out amongst the hounds)  I enjoyed meeting all of these sweet dogs and hope to see them again sometime at future greyhound events.

dog photos


When I ask if I can take a photo of your dog, please say yes.  I'll be taking photos at a greyhound rescue event this weekend.  Can't wait!  The 4 dogs here were visiting the Hydrant in May when I happened to have my camera.  I hope to start taking lots of dog photos again on a daily basis.

more Aimee Wilder for Minnow


File this post under "I buy way too much stuff for my dogs".  Guilty as charged.  There was no way I could resist buying this Aimee Wilder Airedale Pattern harness... for $7.99!

harley


Harley's adoption story made the ASPCA blog back in February.  Since he and my friends live in NYC, I met him yesterday for the first time when they stopped by for a visit. What a sweet boy!  Harley couldn't have found a better home... it's tough to say who's luckier - Harley or his new family. I hope I get to see them again before they head back East.

smile!




look who's smiling on Desire to Inspire today...Minnow!


Desire to Inspire has been a part of my morning routine for a few years now.  It's one of the design blogs I must look at as I drink my coffee and seek doses of inspiration for the day.  Way back in 2010, Lottie was a pet on furniture too!  The story of how Desire to Inspire came to be is as awesome as the interiors they feature.

A Canadian and an Australian Trying to Inspire the World One Room at a Time


Kim and Jo have never met but there is a bond between them that is so strong that it can cross half the world and back again. You see Kim and Jo are interior design junkies. They go weak at the knees when they find that perfect room and they just have to share. It all started towards the end of 2006. They met on Flickr, shared images they had bookmarked and well that was that. Desire to Inspire was born.

Go spend some time in the land of Desire to Inspire now!  I guarantee you will want to clean your house, rearrange your furniture, or possibly take a photo of your pet today.  Go!

Koko & Irène




The seriousness in Koko's face and the wind swept hair remind me of Irène Jacob's famous shot from the Krzysztof Kieslowski film Red.
