I Like Thursday #93

Welcome to this week's list of likes... so many.... from garden centers to videos to dogs playing on a hot summer day... Let's get started.
 I liked the cloud's intense color and highlights on our sunset walk this week. It looks like a painting to me.
This statue for the garden made me happy this weekend

 I used to go to the garden center in MD just to see all the colors, so this weekend we checked out ones in Aurora and Parker.

Mr and Mrs gnome will welcome you in to share the beauty with me...

Now I know what to do with Milo's rock collection.
BTW, I had a miracle moment this week when Milo urped up a rock he swallowed on Friday night. We were visiting with our neighbor when he grabbed another rock. I tried to get it out of his mouth but he rolled over and swallowed it. We looked for it hoping he hadn't and waited a couple days watching for signs of distress. Then on a walk, out it came, thank God! What a blessing.

I've tried to stop him from picking them up, when I see it I pull them out of his mouth, but I just don't know short of electo-shock therapy how to stop him.

Back to the garden center... look at these cobra hoses.

Wild right?



Then there were the guardians...

and the peaceful

and all the flowers!!!

So dramatic! I could do patterns like this and people would say it wasn't realistic. Thanks Mother Nature... hope we can take care of all you've given us

beautiful pots too heavy to lift!

cool fish to swim through the flowers

Love the design of this modern, yet timeless pot.

Clay, rock, and artistic!




enormous blooms

 ski chair

 I liked learning to fold a towel into a sea turtle at a neighbor's house while our dogs played.

The 9 year old daughter was learning to do it so she could show her class in a demo.

She was highly distracted and having a hard time paying attention to the video so I had her teach me.

Mine is on the left, and the mom said she saw monkeys from folded towels too...
I liked sharing the moment with them while Milo played.


We also went to some neighborhood yard sales and met the most astounding people! From the man from Louisiana playing cajun music to the massage therapist I want to become friends with (when we were leaving I said I will need your number so we can become best friends and she said, but of course! And got her card, when I found out she was a therapist! ) to the two couples who moved in next to each other when the houses were built, to the woman who used to juggle at the Renaissance Festival.

We bought an entertainment center from a man who "adopted" a boy who's father was killed in the line of duty as a policeman, what heart.
Look at the antique sewing chair I found, but didn't purchase

sure hope that didn't go to goodwill. I suggested if she didn't sell it to send it to Smithsonian! Or to historical society in Arvada.

Milo's Moments
I like yard sales too.... I met lots of people and dogs, and ate more than a few chips dropped on the ground!

  I met this dog, staying over at her neighbors... it was hot and she was older but we laid around 

and tousled then just laid around together. 

It's nice to just be with friends even if you aren't doing a lot, right?  
Mama's friends are also writing "I  Like" posts, wanna see?

Milo's meanderings... I went to a fair, danced, and got a hat!

Hi, Milo here for my own post! Finally! I went to a street fair this weekend and took my pawrents.
It's called Parker days and it was pup-ular! Lots of people and dogs. This little boy decided to take me for a walk and I said...
Okey dokey!

How cute! I love kids and this was one good dog lovin' kid!
(LeeAnna: the mama said he has always loved dogs. He looked to be nearly 2 and much smaller than Milo and nothing mattered but the connection. Milo was gentle, the boy led him all around and Milo behaved much better for him than he does for me I'll say!) Isn't it great that size doesn't matter, these two recognized they were sympatico from the start!

That's a good thing!

Milo: Hey, Mama, this is my post!
Does this hat make me look fat?

I didn't ask for it, but the man came right out of the booth and tried it on me...

He said I'd get used to it

and I did. It did smush down my Naturally Curly Hair on top but it kept sun out of my eyes since my pawrents won't buy me sunglasses

It was a hit with the ladies for sure! I had so many compliments !

I took it off for the free Arf-er-Murray dance lessons in case someone wanted to twirl me...

Mama stayed with me while Daddy (back there in the hat) learned again how to swing dance. I thought he might need help so I started to sing (bark) along and tried to dance next to him...

Seemed like they were all playing since everyone put out happy scents and I wanted to play.
I ALWAYS want to play!
Mama held me back and petted me but what I wanted was to run along with those humans and bite at their butts! Now that would have been fun!

I Like Thursday #86

Welcome to this week's list of likes! Mad Tea party edition!
This party is going on outside our library. That will be my first like because ...
I Like our library

 It's large and modern... look at the magazine area... easy chairs, big fireplace

 I like the "bookends" next to the mantle. If you like, you go out the french doors to this area

sit in a rocker, and on a clear day, unlike this one with snow all day long, you see a magnificent view of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Take my word for it, it's taken my breath away a few times.
The library is the new town center with so many activities. I enjoyed the kid's drawings all around the sidewalks leading to the front door.

 Let the party continue with this fun wheel cover...

 Kind of makes me want to do a Halloween quilt... wonder if the martini leaks through when he drinks?? Party on Dude.
We've toured so many homes most look just alike but this one had some cool stuff...

Pretty lavender pillow

Pretty black shiny backsplash!

We don't know but it's an old house so we thought maybe a closed circuit tv monitor? Wonder if you can play pacman on it... lol

pretty entry table

pretty bird on a pretty screen

I must say, I wanted this screen. So beautiful with lots of movement and nice crossing swirls.
Very inspirational, no?

I liked the view from our walk this week. We went from 75F to all day snow

little snowballs, like styrofoam pellets

I like the new harness we are inflicting on our draft horse baby Milo

Milo: Finally they stopped yanking on my neck. Oh that never stopped me but I felt like they were being pretty bossy so I pulled even harder on the leash. This thing is kind of like a hug. 

LeeAnna: ahem, if you don't mind, it's still my turn

I also liked seeing this old hack of a truck in Aqua 

Cool, man!

Now it's your turn Milo
MILO: finally! Hi Y'all, BOL! I've got so many likes this week... most of all I likes the ladies. I've been collecting a harem around here. There's Jumble, and Blossom, and Carley, and this little number who is the youngest at about 6 months...Noelle

She's a doodle! I like that her Dad and my Mama and Daddy yakkity yakked while we played leaving us alone to have a good time. We both stuck around them, just so they didn't wander off but we mostly played "my teeth are bigger" don't you love that game? It's my favorite next to "grab and run" and "chase me"
I like that the dining room table shrunk so's I can see what's on offer up there now...

Heyyyyy have you been eating like that all this time? Where's your kibble bowl?

Apparently the pawrents are eating like kings on that thing.
Well now that I know that, you can bet I'll be right there touching their arms to remind them they have a hungry growing poodle who would like to be a gourmet. More cream cheese is always better.

I liked finding 5 balls in the park this week! So I tried them all out... chased each one... figured out the rolling to bounce ratio on each of them, weighed the colors against each other, tasted them all (results, they taste the same) (like humans have touched them) and chose two to take home.

I Made up a new game. Chase the ball, bring it back then roll over for your human to wrestle it outta your mouth. HA! AS if a mere human could win over the enormous poodle teeth! Mama cheated and tickled my feet causing me to drop it.

I got her back though. At home I'd go get the ball, and drop it on her foot while she was watching the talky talk tv. Heh heh
Poodles=sneaky
That's it for this paw-pisode, now SIT! STAY! and clickety click on the links mama puts in so's you can read other Paw-sitive blog post by her friends!
