Around the World on Wednesday ~ Fred Goes to Thailand!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I am so excited to show you the photos Fred took and that were taken of him in Thailand this Fall!

He went with Mentor Series Treks and had a fabulous time exploring and capturing these images in Bancock, Chaing Mai and Chaing Rai.

These are just a few of the shots he captured!

You can enjoy more of his work anytime on his website:  

Fred Langer Photography

I am memorized by all of the faces, places and happenings he experienced in just a few days of exploring!

The people, animals, markets, farms and teas are not only a part of their rich culture, but a work of art in themselves!

Even the elephants paint gorgeous masterpieces right before your eyes! :)

I am so excited to be able to share these magical images with you today!

I cannot wait to see what trips and opportunities unfold for him in 2014!

We will have so much FUN exploring the world through his eyes and art.

What vacations and adventures do you and your families have planned for this year?

Please leave us a note and let us know!

We cannot wait to hear all about it!

R-Chee & I have a new Sweater Vest, Barkclava Dog Hat and Woofie Warmer design to share with you!

It is a...

Sock Monkey!

Our friends, Walter & Beluha in OH inspired the new design!

Their wonderful mom, Meloni asked for a custom order and had this wonderful combo floating in her head.

Their brother, Big Earl loves the new design and wanted to play with his new stuffed "toy" brother & sister in the snow! :)

How magical and FUN!

Friday Funnies ~ It is raining FOODables!

Happy Friday everyone!

It is me...

R-Chee!

Happy New Year to all of my friends out there!

I have missed you this past December!

My momma was so busy filling orders that she did not have time to help me write my posts!

Well... now I am back and I have another feathered family member!

Jimmie!

He is my new parakeet brother and I LOVE him!

He is a happy character who sings and dances all day long!

He and my parrotlet brother, Gilbert talk back and forth to each other but do not touch.

They are in separate cages across the room from each other and play outside of their cages at separate times.

I am not allowed to touch them directly either, but Jimmie loves to share with me!

Gilbert eats all of his fresh food, but baby Jimmie likes to feed me!

Momma took pictures and a little movie or you to see and enjoy!

Isn't he FUNNY?

He feeds me like this everyday!

He makes sure I get my extra dessert filled with fiber, grains, fruits and veggies!

Yummy!

What FUN things are you up to this weekend?

Please leave me a note and let me know!

I cannot wait to hear all about it!

Friday Funnies ~ Birdie Bliss ~ Facials on Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!

It is me....

R-Chee!

What a FUN week we have had here celebrating all of you!

Thank you so much for always sharing and playing with us!

You always teach me the most important things in life!

To practice what I learned this week...

I wanted to play & share joy with my bird brothers, Gilbert & Jimmie!

They sing to me all day so I thought they might enjoy a day at the spa!

I asked my mom what is her favorite thing to do when she gets a spa gift and she said it was to get a facial!

They are both relaxing and rejuvenating at the same time!

Perfect!

That is just what I wanted to do for Gilbert and Jimmie!

Since my little pug toes are not dainty enough to do such delicate work, I hired my mom to help me while I made these movies to honor the event!

Gilbert

Jimmie

Yipppeeee!

They are purring & smiling!

I did not know that little birds purrrrr & smile!

Momma said they do that only when they are truly happy inside and out!

Oh how wonderful!

Momma scratches my ears every day and hugs me so I know just how they feel!

It is so FUN to play and share my daily joy with them and you!

Thank you for always doing the same with me!

What FUN things do you have planned for the weekend?

Please leave us a note and let us know!

We cannot wait to hear all about it!
