Posted on November 10, 2021January 23, 2022 by Sandra

Halloween was definitely a little busier with houses handing out candy this year! We decided to dress James up in his pumpkin costume and walk around the neighborhood.

Posted on August 6, 2021August 6, 2021 by Sandra

I want to watch this moment over and over – this is by far one of my favorite Olympic moments in history! I love how Italy’s Tamberi jumps onto Qatar’s Barshim!

Wooden Poodle Decoration

Posted on November 11, 2020November 11, 2020 by Sandra

I use Facebook for mainly what Chris calls “Poodling” where I chat with other Poodle owners about food, beds, health and more. I was Poodling one day when I saw a post from Evi Green and these adorable wooden Poodle carvings! Evi’s husband Tom whittles the Poodles and Evi paints them. As soon as I…

Fall in Ohio

Posted on November 9, 2020November 9, 2020 by Sandra

I love the beauty in changing seasons. I love that one day a tree will look one way and the next day it can look completely different. I took a bunch of photos the other day here in Ohio – everywhere we go the colors are so beautiful! This house has a LOT of pumpkins:…

Apple Picking in Ohio

Posted on November 6, 2020November 9, 2020 by Sandra

We met up with my cousin Jeanette, her husband Hiram and her kids Leslie, Nathan and Melody to pick apples in Ohio. It was about this time last year when we stayed on an orchard in British Columbia, Canada. We learned so much about apples last year so we knew how to pick the best…

Baking Away My Election Stress

Posted on November 5, 2020November 5, 2020 by Sandra

I woke up Wednesday morning after election day and realized the US still didn’t have a winner for the presidential race. I had a feeling it was going to be a long day (or week?! or month?!) and I was going to need a project to keep my mind busy. I’ve been wanting to make…

Halloween 2020 – An Excuse to Wear a Funky Dress

Posted on November 4, 2020November 4, 2020 by Sandra

My rainbow leopard dress matches James’ Halloween hat perfectly! So I decided to tuck up and stitch the floor length dress to make it look more like a circus ringmaster. If only I had a cane and a top hat! Happy James: What do you think of my dress? I think it is fun and…

Happy Halloween 2020

Posted on November 3, 2020November 3, 2020 by Sandra

I wasn’t going to dress James up in a costume this year for Halloween since we knew kids really weren’t going to be trick-or-treating because of Covid. But I was at Target and I saw this cute sequined hat for dogs and I had to get it for James! He wore it for a few…

Ramen Soup at Home

Posted on October 28, 2020October 28, 2020 by Sandra

I stopped at JoAnn fabric the other day (I am making some new holiday bandanas for James) and I noticed people coming out of a big store next door. It looked like an Asian supermarket – like the one we liked in Orlando. I walked over there and sure enough – it was a really…

Vintage Photos with Poodles

Posted on September 16, 2020September 16, 2020 by Sandra

I fell down a rabbit hole of vintage Poodle photos this afternoon. I finally had to put my laptop away! So many of these vintage photos made me smile! This one is so cute because she has a Poodle handbag! I think she just said “I want another Poodle” ha:

Gummy Bears

Posted on September 14, 2020September 14, 2020 by Sandra

I love gummy bear candy! This is a fairly new thing. I’ve always been a chocolate fanatic, but in the last 5 years or so I now have a thing for gummy bears. Living in Austria and Germany probably pushed me to love them more since Haribo gummy bears originated in Germany and they are…

James gets Professionally Groomed – Finally!

Posted on September 10, 2020September 10, 2020 by Sandra

We all know this has been a weird year with Covid and business shutdowns. James was groomed in Atlanta back in January 2020 and then for non-Covid reasons, I decided to buy this Arco Cordless clipper kit on Amazon. I had been joining James on grooming visits since his groom in Nuremberg, Germany and I…

Charcoal Beauty Haul

Posted on August 28, 2020August 28, 2020 by Sandra

I decided to buy some charcoal beauty products and test them out. I am not sure that charcoal topically really cleanses as much as taking activated charcoal internally, but I still thought the idea was fun. My absolutely favorite item of the haul was the Briogio Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-exfoliating Scalp Scrub…

Summer 2020

Posted on August 25, 2020August 25, 2020 by Sandra

I can’t believe the summer is coming to an end. We were in Virginia for the 4th of July and we took some summer photos with James. I am not doing any therapy dog work with James because of Covid restrictions but I still dressed James up in a patriotic costume for the holiday (James…

James has a new puppy friend in the neighborhood and her name is Belle. Belle is a Samoyed and she is SO cute! Belle is absolutely enamored with James. She can spot James WAY down the trail and she will start barking! She has also figured out when we walk past her house (I think…

Pandemic Humor

Posted on May 5, 2020May 3, 2020 by Sandra

It seems like poor taste to joke about something that has really been awful this year. But in times of crises, I think we can cope with laughter. Anyone from Florida, or even the United States, would know there is not a ski resort in Florida. So that makes that meme above pretty funny. But…
