June No More...

This month has been unbelievably hectic - I am hoping in July I would be able to catch my breath and blog at least once a week about my pups. Buster has so much personality its hard to catch in a photograph. I should have named him Speedy Gonzalez. One thing he loves to do is gather all his toys from the inside of the house to the back yard back to the house - into each room. Sometimes it feels like we have a lil toddler in the house. 

We have been going back and forth with Nico's food. Trying to find a healthy alternative to perhaps "diet" food. We notice she has been gaining some weight or maybe its just a reflection of me?!??? Not sure... but we notice on the packaging how food is categorize by age and Nico being 5+ says shes a senior?! :-( She still acts like a baby - no way shes a senior?!

Things Im obsessed with this month:

Peas, Tobasco, and yes a new Andy Warhol book (I know I know another Andy Warhol? I can start a Andy's Library!), Buster!

Things Im feeling guilty about:

Being obsessed with Buster - Nico has become my 2nd child where I sometimes feel like I neglect. Bad parenting I know... :-( But we still do our snuggle session and hour brushing (PROMISE)

Things Im day dreaming of:

Nom Nom Banh Mi, New home to be purchased, Furniture, Packing (well more like getting rid of things while in process of packing)

Things Im dreading:

Unpacking

This month has been full of celebrations and surprise news (exciting and sad). I realize theres no age or phase you come to realize this is it... life will always throw at you challenges and I guess this makes life - life. 

Nico: Things I'm totally over: Buster's Kisses. (Buster does his massive kissing attack to nico at least twice a day)

Play Time!

Sadly we didn't make it to the beach over the weekend but here they are playing over the weekend... And a must watch VIDEO that will make you go awwwww....

Happy for the 3-Day Weekend!

We are all looking forward to start off our 3-day weekend. One thing I learned about Buster that stands out from all my other pups is that this guy loves to SLEEP in. He won't even go on most morning walks with Nico!

For those who hasn't seen this... check this out!

Hope everyone has a cheerful weekend!

My lil lamb

Buster's haircut makes him look like a lil lamb. Especially with his shaved ears. For those who haven't gotten a chance to meet him yet he is not a typical small white dog. He's actually really tall with realllly lanky arms and legs. When he stands on his hind legs he comes up to my waist!

I have a bunch of videos and pics to sort through... Can't wait to share with you how Nico and Buster has become partners in crime or more like make out buddies. I have been slammed with life so haven't been able to blog. The picture of Nico above is how I want to spend my weekend that is coming up. But I am hoping this holiday weekend I will have time for a new movie. And hoping the dogs get to see the beach for the first time... with their future pals.

Nico got a GOLD STAR!

We decided to take the pups to the Petco Groomers over the weekend. The girl who took care of Nico didn't want to let go of her... She got a gold star!

We asked them to do brushing for excessive shedding... did not help :-( But shes a happy camper!

Unfortunately, Buster did not get a GOLD STAR...

But I can see why. His hair was matted all over including his ears. We told them to work their magic and he came back to us like this:

Sorry for the blurry picture. He would not sit still for a photo op!

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.
