My Owly Seasonal Greeting

I love making simple seasonal and holiday crafts this time of year.  Here's my Fall Owly wreath, which cost a whopping 14 bucks to make!

I LOVE owls!  This one had such a pretty Fall coloring, I had to build my wreath around him!

Are we gonna eat this yummy looking owl for Thanksgiving, mama?

No Smartypants, we're having Turkey on Thanksgiving like always!

Super Simple & Not Expensive!  I bought a plain grapevine wreath at the craft store and chose this rust colored owl as the focal point of my wreath.  I wired the owl onto the wreath and then added a few other items from the craft store sale bins, wiring them around the wreath using floral wiring.  I included a couple of  pine cones from my yard and it was done!  I love all the Fall color this wreath gives my door. 

So what are you having for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow; Owl or Turkey??  Leave us a comment!  Inquiring canine minds want to know.

Calling All Dog Fashionistas!

New stores open up in our town all the time, but this one's gone to the dogs, literally!  I was overjoyed when a new store opened up just for dogs, a luxury dog store no less!  I had seen the black bone-shaped "FETCH" sign go up a few months ago.  I could tell it was going to be something special and when they finally opened their doors, I was not disappointed! 

FETCH is a fabulous new luxury dog store that recently opened in Huntington, NY.

The first thing that caught my eye when I walked into the store was this beautiful flocked, dog silhouette wall paper along the back wall.  If you look closely, you can tell there's a hidden door along this wall - can you spot it?

Phoebe dances for a treat  from one of the owners.  She's wearing the beautiful pink sweater & black rhinestone collar I bought her there.

FETCH has a ton of dog apparel, even beautiful handmade XXL sized dog sweaters!

Look at all this great stuff!  Can I pick out a toy Ma?

Phoebe loves to shop for clothes and toys, so she was in her glory!

I bought this gorgeous Hartman & Rose luxury dog collar for Isis' 6th birthday last month.  I love the gold color against her fur!  We didn't have a birthday celebration for her because my husband was traveling but we'll have a belated celebration soon.

Hartman & Rose Italian leather collar.

The buckle on the Hartman & Rose collar is stylish and very sturdy.

No great dog store would be complete without a large assortment of goodies, including a bone shaped doggie birthday cake!

 And for the humans, I found these adorable slippers to show off my love of dogs. 

The best part about these paw print slippers it's what's written on the heel....

On the heel of the slippers it says "I Sleep With Dogs"  Can anyone out there relate??  Um... YES!  Add these to my Christmas List - CHECK!



I'm in Heaven, I don't wanna leave this place!  *SWOON*

NOTE: I was not compensated in any way for writing this post, I am only sharing our experience shopping in a fun new store.

Are there any luxury pet stores where you live?  What specialty purchases have you made for your pet?

HAPPY WORDLESS WEDNESDAY AND PAW SLAPS

Paw slaps to you from Phoebe!

 Happy Wordless Wednesday to my fellow pet loving friends, you are all Pawsome!

Black & White Sunday; Siberian Husky Zoomies

It's Black & White Sunday and I'm sharing photos of my high energy Husky!



I jumped up on this tree stump in the forest during our walk to get a better view!




I grabbed my Husky and took her for a one hour walk this morning.  Afterwards, I was exhausted but she was just getting started!



I've got the Zoomies!



What can I say, I'm a HUSKY!!  No use trying to tire me out, it won't work!

When does your dog get the zoomies?

Remembering Our Veterans With Deepest Gratitude

I spent today visiting my Dad's grave and reflecting on all those who have served in the U.S. military.  My Dad was a WWII Marine who received the Purple Heart after the battle at Tarawa in the Pacific in 1943, just days before his birthday.  

I am filled with gratitude for all those who are currently serving and who have served in the U.S. military to keep us safe and protect our freedom.

LET FREEDOM RING!!!!

Fall Is Still Flea & Tick Season

I've learned that Fall is still flea and tick season.  In fact, it can be prime season for fleas and ticks!  Although we use flea and tick preventative all year long as a precaution, I didn't really believe it was all that necessary.  How could there still be fleas and ticks when Summer is long gone and the nights are so chilly?  But then something happened that really drove it home for me.

Catching Fire! Fall Beauty

THE BEAUY OF THE FALL FOLIAGE FEELS TO ME LIKE I'M CATCHING FIRE!  IT'S BEAUTY LIGHTS UP THE LANDSCAPE IN BLAZING GLORY, MEZMORIZING US LIKE GAZING INTO A FIRE DOES, BUT IT'S FLEETING.  JUST A FEW WEEKS AND IT'S ALL GONE....

GET OUT AND CATCH SOME FIRE BEFORE IT ALL DISAPPEARS!
