Besties!

I'm starting to see Nico + George bonding more and more! They have their very own beds and these beds are like their territory and they never once traded spots. They have this strange silent agreement on their ownerships of their beds/space.

Here is ariel shot where Nico is slightly on George's bed. I thought it was too cute that shes sort-of sleeping on his arm.

Couple hours later they re-arranged them selves and they're side by side. I tried to take a quiet picture but Nico caught me!

I think they became best friends. Usually George would have growled and Nico would have howled back. They are truly becoming besties!!!

Monday Blues :-(

The first week of January flew by of course... And sometimes I put too much expectation on the beginning of the "New Year"! In my mind I feel like I can almost have a new start but I didn't have much time to prepare this cathartic moment of feeling the fresh newness of the year. It started out with a fun nye party, bridal shower, wedding, fun festive welcoming Jeffrey back home, and house hunting adventure... with so much going on I am feeling a tad bit in a funk that I can't seem to shake off. SO yesterday I decided to start a DETOX. I think it will help me clear my mind and at the same time get me back into shape.  So today I had: Scrammbled eggs, Brown Rice with Seaweed, Apple, Orange and for dinner I am planning to be a souper!

Fingers crossed that I get out of this funk and feel motivated about work and life in general. George and I  would rather just hide under the covers but we shall see...

*** Nico + George was featured again on DOGLR over the weekend***

It's been awhile...

Nico + George wishes everyone happy new year. Their new year resolution is to stop and smell the roses more often this year (for them grass?). It rained so much in LA over the holiday break it was hard for me to take the dogs out and photograph them. But here they are enjoying the sun and eating their daily dose of grass.

I was so thankful that New Year was on a Saturday so I felt like I had an extended weekend. Of course that didn't keep the anxieties away. I don't know why I always get this overwhelming feeling every new year. Its now the 3rd and things are ok. I need to take note and learn to smell the roses. ;-) I had/have a personal to-do list that was neglected for the past 2 weeks :-( I am hoping that this week I ease back into work flow and nothing too dramatic happens so I can slowly cross things off. Fingers crossed!

This morning I received an email that totally CHEERED ME UP! I submitted photos of the pups and they actually got posted on DOGLR. DOGLR is one of the cutest dog blogs I have seen. I can't help but visit this site once a day. It always puts a smile to my face and now I am glad Nico + George is part of it.

The day before the rain came...

This picture was taken last week on our early am walk. They sure are getting really antsy with this non-stop rain. (I personally love the rain). Nico panics at the idea of even having one rain drop on her. She makes a huge fuss and that puts me in paranoia-mode... Hoping/Praying please talk to me when you need to go outside to use the bathroom. I will walk out with you and make sure the umbrella is covering you. But even after pleading with her she will still pee indoors. Even on her bed and will lie in it. I think she believes that its my fault its raining and it's her way of punishing me? George on the other hand doesn't mind the rain. Georgie the angel dog! :-)

Check out their lil backpacks. Now I am hand free of carrying plastic bags. They carry their own. I want to get these stylish one next time!

Hachi / Hachiko

My friend recommended the movie Hachi: The Dog's Tale because of my Nico (Akita). I sort of knew what the movie was about but I had no idea I would be crying myself to sleep. The movie was so moving and incredible I hope everyone gets to see it. If you are a dog lover you can see a little bit of Hachi in every dog. Hachi was known for his loyalty towards his owner, a professor he found in 1924. They would have daily routine of meeting at the train station before heading home together. They had a full year together until one day while Hachi was waiting for him... The professor never showed up (he passed away).

Hachi waited and waited for the next 9 years at the station. People who took that commute all got to know him and would often bring him treats. The dog became so famous and loved by the country that they even made a statue of him and have an annual ceremony celebrating his loyalty.

You can read more about it here and how his story was told and lived on... Below is the movie trailor:

After watching this I couldn't help but snuggle with Nico. And the funny thing about Nico is when I first got her she always reminded me of a statue or a soldier because she will just sit and wait and wait and wait...and shes very still. I feel so lucky to have found her and have a little Hachi in my life!

Here's another great video about Hachiko!

It's that time again...

The Christmas Grinch

HO HO HO!!!

Ever since we adopted lil' Georgie-Pooh we always thought he looked like the Christmas Grinch. Do you see the resemblance? It's more obvious if you met him in person. I think its the eyes...

Of course you can't google Dr. Seuss without seeing Thing 1 & Thing 2. When I saw them I thought of Nico. Doesn't their big poofy hair remind you of Nico's tail?

And surprisingly she's light on her toes as well. I sometimes call her my ballerina. She loves to prance around and spin in circles. I need to catch that on my camera so you can see her in action!

In the spirit of Christmas... My friend created these holiday tags! You can read about it here and purchase them as well. The above video showcases her other designs. I love her website... I actually adore it! It's very inspiring! Go LOVEVSDEISGN! Nico is doing her cheer dance! WOOT WOOT!

Countdown to the New Year / New You!

My head is spinning that it's already December? 2011 is right around the corner... There is so much to reflect on and new goals to be set. I am thankful that I am able to take a week off end of the year just to do that!

I have been sick for what it seems like forever... But I am getting back to feeling like my ol'self! :-) This month has a lot of Birthday celebrations and I'm eager to see my friends again.

at night they have super powers...

Its been getting real cold at nights and Georgie is super sensitive... SOOOO we got him a new JACKET!!!

This picture with his tail up means hes happy! I think he's totally into the plaid.

The color red really pops on George! :-)

Now Nico looks really naked but stay tuned... She will get hers soon!

I love how their eyes glow in the dark! They seem so magical to me! haha

For things that glow and things that are red... this video was super inspiring! It's one of George's favvvvvv artist.

One more... I couldn't leave Usher out. Watch half way the red lasers are out of control!

Hope everyone has a HAPPY HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

BABY NICO!!!

Ok... Its not. But I am sure this is what she would look like as a baby. I can only dream that I had her since she was this little. Look at those ears and tail. SO CUTE... SO FUZZY!

Even though Nico is full grown she still acts like a big ol' baby. And her favorite thing in the world is her dolls. awwwww... she's a cutie pie. This doll was given by her uncle Mikey. It's her BFF.
