Groomer bound



Silvieon4 to the Wendy:

"Don't fall for it. It is NOT a ride.  I heard momma talking to nonna in Italian and I know she said we are going to see Mr. Myke.  Yes, that Myke.  Our groomer!  Momma lies and I am not falling for the lie. It is not just a ride."

I got attitude because I got CHEWITUDE!


Duck Gizzards and Pork Livahhh [liver]


Go inside this magic box
which I adore. Love. Respect. 


The smells start coming out and the vigil begins.








Then suddenly it's time to open the box and take out DELISHHHHHH pork livah treats and duck gizzards chewies.  The yummiest of treats if you forget turkey jerky. Mhhhh I love turkey jerky.

Hey momma, how about making some rabbit chewies?

I am just saying. There are other things to try out .  I will taste them for you.

Welcome to tasty tuesday.

PS  Our treats have never been recalled!

NAIL polish?????



Momma was all gushy over falls colors of Nail polish last night.

Mh. Did I spell that right?  Should that read Nail Polish? And why did the Polish people start this trend?

Painted nails. I want no part of momma's excitement. She told me some hooomans paint their dog's nails.

Why? Stop the insanity!

There is no possible reason to do this, except YOUR vanity.

I watch momma get her nails done. HER body HER choice.

No offense to the Polish people, but they should focus on making more pierogi and Kielbasa and not on painting nails!

Uh? What do you mean Polish does not mean Polish from Poland???? Polish as in what? Polished? Painted? My woof, hoomans and their language. 

Well,  like Rosanne Rosannadanna said: NEVERMIND to the Polish.

BUT still NO TO PAINTED NAILS. Leave your dog's nails alone!

Happy dancing times two, a letter to Angel OLIVIA

Dearest Olivia,

Your crossing the Rainbow Bridge hit us all pretty hard. Your were a very elegant and sweet girl and your left your momma with a broken heart because she misses you so much. We all do. You have a big family here on earth and as you know, Tidewater Bichon Frise` Rescue is one of those families that sticks together like glue. We hurt, we love, we party, we care for each other. We prayed for you.

We have all been worried about your hoomans. We sent prayers for them. We tried to comfort them. In the end, our words could not really begin to heal their broken hearts.

I am pretty sure that you have been privy to all that has been going on and I must say, I think I see your influence on the events of the day. I am smiling.  I am proud of you.

You left your family overflowing with love for you. So much love that it could not be contained. At first your momma was sure she could never love another Bichon .. You know, hoomans can be soooo silly!

Then you went to work. And then your momma had an epiphany. . She had loved you so much that now all that love had no place to go. Such a waste! She had an empty lap. And an empty heart. And she needed to honor your memory. But how? Well, what do you do with an empty heart? You fill it! Were do you put all that love? Well if you are a rescue person as our TBFR family is,  you RESCUE! But...your momma had so much love to give that one Bichon was not going to be enough. You knew... Skipper and Mary Anne have been waiting for a forever family for a while.  Well, they are waiting NO MORE!





Tonight Skipper and Mary Anne go to bed in their new forever home and Angel Olivia, you will watch over them.

Olivia, Skipper and Mary Anne are now comforting your momma and daddy. They have promised to carry on your work and care for them as you would have.


You left such big paw prints in their hearts that it has taken two Bichons to try and fill them!

THANK YOU OLIVIA
you will always be in their hearts.


I told momma I hope she honors me in the same way!
much love
