THANK GOODNESS APRIL IS OVER!

Another hectic week and instead of venting how up and down this month has been... I am grateful for:

Buster "Scamp J" Pak
Nico loving Buster
RHONY
Celebration of many Aries
Bright Eyes
APaks Bday Celebration (coming up)
Eating @Wurstkuche for the first time (soooo YUMMMY)
Getting all my files organized in the server

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I am ready for MAY!

Here's a video that reminds me of Georgie:

GO GO GO!

Their favorite way to pass time is to run laps in the backyard. It's fun to see Nico maneuver around this lil guy!

It's a Boy!

Look who we brought home yesterday! The lil fuzzy rascal was rescued by Bichon FurKids and we were lucky to pass their application process and spotted Scamp out in an instinct. (Love at first sight?… Yes!) Anne's goal was to find a lil Bichon Mix since our very first dog in 1988 was a Bichon…

She passed away in 2003…so it feels right to have another lil Bichon. We did our research before to make sure Nico will have a perfect play pal. I really wanted her to become a big sis and we've learned that adopting a boy would help... And it seems like it worked. Nico's first reaction was to give him a BIG KISS!

Scamp seems a lil turned off there… I think he was shocked to meet such a large pup! But here they tried it again:

It's official... They are play pals for life! I want to thank Karen for rescuing him and teaching him all his lil tricks... Without a sound he listens with hand commands. SMART PUPPY right? I have also learned that Karen and her BFF Sarah have the cutest dog's accessory company. You can check it out here.

Big Sister Be Good

Nico my sunshine might be becoming a big sis! Of course there's excitement about bringing home a new pup but at the same time a lil worry-some on how she will react and if she will love him as she loved George. I recently came across some videos which made me melt in hoping there will be instant love between nico and a new brother like the Orangutan and the Hound or the one below (please watch till the end - its totally worth it):





OR the cuteness between Bizzy and Faye!

Mourning Doves

It's been awhile since my last post. To be honest it was hard to come back to this blog and I was juggling with the idea of not keeping it up... The thought of new posts slowly drowning out the past posts of Georgie made me sad. But as they say "time heals all wounds" I have a new perspective on this blog and thought it would be nice to keep it up for good Nico. As you all know she loves to take pictures and I love to share them.

This has been the state of our mind for couple weeks... We had a hard time adjusting to how the house seems a lil empty a lil quiet...

It took about a week for Nico to get back into routine. She sat by the back door waiting for George to come home. Truly reminds me of Haichiko. Nico, my family, and I truly thank everyone for their warm messages and support. Really THANK YOU! :-)

Couple of weeks ago while picking lemons off our tree... these two lil guys fell from the tree. It was a struggle to get them back into the nest. Lemon trees have really scary thorns. So we used this and placed it on top:

The mommy bird was thankful and here she is. She literally sat on top of them.

They learn to fly right away and this one got hurt (I believe a cat got him). We stuck him in this large bottle so he can heal. This sat ontop of their nest. It looked like it was going to storm that evening.

The next day we moved him out and put him in this basket.

Of course the mom approves. I think she loves her new home. I recently got bird seeds and placed a lil food bowl for them. They come back every couple hours. In total there are 4 of them. I did massive research to figure out that they were mourning doves and learned they have a tight family unit and loves to come back to their nest.
