I wanted to share these cute new food dishes that my husband picked out for Breeze and Harley. We got them from Target for a $1.00 each.
They had double dishes before and what was the point? We never used one side of them. He was also concerned with them eating easier without having there whiskers involved.
Can you tell which one is Harley’s?
This video made me laugh with joy. The man in it was obviously touched by nature profoundly.
Breeze was touched by him.
She tried to find him in the monitor..
And then she looked behind The monitor for him several times..
I’ve been very busy trying to support my household and will keep this short just to share this book review with you. My heart ached as I read the facts. Please read the review and share, share, share. Every animal thanks you.
Whew…(I’m pulling at my shirt trying to get some ventilation).
It’s getting hot in Las Vegas! Last week we had lovely weather with spring lingering and only being in the 70’s or 80’s. This week we’ve skipped the introduction of summer and had 90 and 100’s. We haven’t had time to acclimate to the hot weather and are already hating summer. The news is warning us of heat exhaustion.
Did you know that heat exhaustion is the #1 killer of weather events?
I took some pictures a couple of weeks ago of my 1 rose and a orange flower that popped out of nowhere. This year was really weird. My lavender didn’t bloom and I only got 1 rose. The rose is gone, I’ve got a mysterious orange flower and a bachelor button flower that I planted a few weeks ago. Wish I had more.
Breeze, Ozzbourne and Harley are laying on the tile through out the house. We’ll be thinking about others and there wonderful weather.
I hope you are having a good summer.
I’m going to go sit in front of a fan with a glass of water.
Uh…I’m kinda scared about there teeth growing 5″ a year.
Harley has decided that two beds -in- 1 is much more comfortable.
Are you jealous?
Sometimes Ozzbourne is a very intelligent dog and then sometimes he’s not. I tried several attempts today to get him to look at me through the window in our back door. As you can see, my attempts failed.
Good Evening, this is Patricia and I’m here with Ozzbourne, my Black Labrador Retriever. I have been given permission to interview him, here on the couch.
Patricia: Do you know where you came from?
Ozzbourne: I don’t really remember. I do know it was a bad place.
Patricia: Do you remember the day you were adopted?
Ozzbourne: YES!You adopted me from a shelter that I lived in for a month. I think I was a birthday gift for the big man. I do know you wanted me to help with the time for Rufus and Titan to pass over the rainbow bridge.
Patricia: What do you think of your adoptive siblings?
Ozzbourne: I love my kitties. Breeze is queen of the house and I love how she brushes against me. I don’t have the relationship with her like she did with Rufus.
Harley, he’s funny and my buddy. He’s been eating out of my food dish since he was a kitten. I don’t mind sharing with him. We clean each others ears and we always have to be around the action.
My forever siblings; Rufus,Titan and Tabatha. I miss them and I know you and the big guy still cry over them from occasionally. I’m glad to assist in easing your pain.
Patricia: What are your favorite toys?
Ozzbourne: A big rope that I like to greet you with when you come home to take outside and play. I have a bear you gave me, a one armed monkey-I guess the big guy got tired of sewing one back on, a goofy dog and sometimes I like the tied socks to play tug-a-war.
Patricia: Do you have any duties as the only dog of the house?
Ozzbourne: I’m your personal greeter and a guard dog. My best guard dog trick is to intimidate. Hehe, some people are so afraid. They should be. Don’t you think?
Patricia: Yes, you use to scare me with your intimidating. I get it now.
Patricia:What do you think of your adoptive human parents?
Ozzbourne: You rescued me and I’m very grateful. I love smelling you hair, especially right after you shampooed it. Thanks for letting me rub my scent on it.
The big guy…-our play fighting is so much fun. It’s a guy thing. I really like the treats he gives me occasionally when I’m attentive.
Patricia: What is your favorite thing in the world to do?
Ozzbourne: I love going for walks, hikes and to the park where I can hunt for rabbits, cats, birds, chipmunks or whatever else moves.
Patricia: Well, thank you Ozzbourne, I don’t have anymore questions.
I have enjoyed interviewing you. You’re a very good dog. Would you like to add something?
Ozzbourne: Yes. Tell the readers to check out the interview you did with Breeze and to remember to adopt from there local animal shelter.
Last Sunday, my Husband and I took some friends on a road trip in the desert. We had a rare experience of seeing a desert Tortoise and admired it from a distance.
Desert Tortoise populations have declined by 90 percent since the 1980s and they are federally listed as a threatened species. It is unlawful to touch, harm, harass or collect a wild Desert Tortoise.
Desert Tortoise information and facts:

-Weigh 8-15 pounds

Please visit the Animal Ark website to enjoy the animals. I plan on making a donation to them and visiting on my next road trip to visit my family in Oregon.
Enjoy your animals and keep your eye open for a desert Tortoise.
