Hot air balloons are one of those things in my life that brings back the childhood sense of utopia to me. When I see a hot air balloon I’m left with the feelings of total awe, and light I’d feel as a small child in my Grandpa and Grammas yard, watching the hot air balloons [...]

Siberian puppy playdate!
Behind on photos… summertime means lots of sunny time to play, but not much time to blog!
A few weeks ago we took Roy Rogers for a puppy playdate with a couple Siberian puppies close to his age at Tovik Siberians. He had a BALL!
A true hunter-gatherer that Roy is…
Thanks to Auntie Amy’s curse [...]
There be magic in them woods… short Silver Falls hike
Last week I needed a Silver Falls hike, and Dea was restless, with energy I think only a 5 year old can produce. I’d hoped that hubby-guy could join us but he was booked with work. We waited until later in the afternoon to leave since we’d hoped Curt could come with us, [...]
The amazing, impromptu, rain-less Siberian shoot!
Yesterday Kelly of Tovik Siberians asked when I’d be free, and included in my schedule was later that afternoon. At that point weather was clear, beautiful, without a cloud in the sky. As the noon progressed it became obvious a storm was morning in. My family went into Costco for a few [...]
Congrats to Harvey! + Rose City Classic photos
Harvey, CH Mariel’s Harvest Moon won breed at Westminster yesterday, and did all Cardigan people proud in the group. This photo was taken last month, in Portland at Rose City Classic.
Someone reminded me I’d not yet posted photos I’d taken at RCC. It’s been a crazy last few weeks and they’ve been sitting [...]
Bring on the Belgians!
Some of my recent projects, Belgian Malinois pins for a custom order, and to re-up my inventory. As always, customs are available, and these pins are ready to mail out. Drop me a note if you’re interested in ordering!
Twinan Ultimate Strike
The year Harry P won his group 3 at crufts (2007), I was looking over photos of the dogs at Crufts in the breed ring, and spotted one telling a friend “I wish we had more dogs like this in the US”. He was stylish, with clean lines. He looked like a Welsh [...]
A roses circle of life: Breaking at the cracks
Rose hips cracking open to release seeds, remind me of life turning points, and cycles in lives. From one bloom, comes fading, cracking, then many more plants, and more blooms. So with this cycle through a lifespan, the beauty of life multiplies, and continues, past the loss, breaking down, and devastation. When [...]
Taking a break from the term paper from HELL to post puppy pictures….
I keep asking myself “Why did you decide to go back to school again?” Insanity I say. I have a term paper due on tuesday, that has me all frazzled, because no matter how hard I try, I can’t get my mind on the ACTUAL concept of the paper, and off the legal/solid [...]
My little mental health break….
Whoever the dumba** was who decided that going back to school full time, on an already full schedule, was a good idea, should be beat. Seriously. WTH was I thinking? I remember school being easy as pie. Haha! That’s funny… it was before I had a life, other than [...]
