We wish you a wonderful and relaxing weekend everyone! Hope to see you back here next week when Glenn will be sharing some stunning images of Sicily and more!

Baby Bear

Well, hello!

Good Morning!

Could you imagine this face greeting you every morning? I sure could, but then again I happen to have a bit of a soft spot for Frenchies. If Joe didn't think they looked like bat-dogs we could very well have ended up with an adorable Frenchie instead of our beloved Blue. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change Blue for the world, but Frenchies are pretty darn cute... even if they are part bat-dog.

Beautiful

If eyes are the windows to the soul, then this picture is the perfect example.

Well, hello!

Happy Monday everyone!

Wish

We wish you a merry holiday and a happy new year.

Squirrels

We hope ya'll had a wonderful and warm Thanksgiving yesterday. Like many of you, I had to sleep off the turkey-coma with a nap on the couch. Happily dreaming of when I might actually have room in my belly for a nice slice of pumpkin pie and apple cider.

For some reason squirrels remind me so much of this time of year. It seems like everyone starts to get cozy in their furry sweaters and enjoy the company of others a little more during the holidays. I came across the tattoo above this afternoon. I don't believe that I have ever seen a squirrel tattoo before and I must say it was well done indeed!

Monday Love

A teacup bunny is my Monday Love pick this week. All nestled in and snug as a little bunny should be. I hope you have a great week ahead!

Into the Wild

Another week has come and gone. To close this week I will leave you with the stunning photography of Nick Brandt. Working exclusively in Africa to capture touching moments in these creatures lives and bring awareness to how truly special they are. I hope you will find his work as touching as I do. Have a great weekend everyone!

New Tricks

Who ever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

We hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day weekend! I am currently working on some pictures of our new Farouche poster so make sure and check back tomorrow if you want to take a peek.

The Great Escape

On Friday we received an excited call from my Grandmother. Her voice always has a slightly higher pitched when there is something unusual going on. I find that completely adorable. My grandparents are farmers who still raise livestock and work a ten acre farm by themselves. This might not seem that out of the ordinary except that they are both well into their eighties and have no desire to stop any time soon. Grandpa says that he has always planned to live to be 106- I hope he makes it that far in as good of health as he's in now!

The story begins as the two of them were about to leave for a doctor's appointment Friday morning. On their way to the car they were surprisingly greeted by one of their rams strolling up the driveway. Quickly, Grandpa went to the pen to see how the ram had escaped. Unfortunately when he arrived, he realized that the situation was much worse than just one single ram finding his way out. The relentless wind and rain that had torn through the area the night before, had knocked over one of their trees destroying a large section of the sheep corral. Sheep were everywhere. Down the lane, in the vegetable garden, over in the neighbors orchard and some apparently had set off to find Little Bow Peep.

It would have been impossible for my grandparents to round up all fifty sheep and still make their doctor appointment. In desperation they asked a few of the neighboring farm workers if they would attempt to gather up any remaining sheep still wandering while they were gone. The workers agreed, and with little hesitation my grandparents hopped in the car and rushed off to their appointment. When the visit to the doctor's office was over, they quickly rushed back home fearing the worst. However, when they got back to the farm they found that everything had been mended. Not only did the workers round up all of the sheep, they also chopped up the fallen tree, stacked it into a neat pile and had completely mended the fence. Very surprised and thankful my Grandfather went to pay the workers for their trouble and to express how appreciative he was for their assistance.

Apparently he told one of the workers, "My wife is so happy she could kiss you!"

The workers laughed and politely refused the money. He tried to offer them produce and all the wood they had chopped. Everything he offered they politely declined. These workers make minimum wage, work grueling hours outdoors no matter the weather and still had the kindness to decline any form of compensation from my grandparents. When my Grandmother relayed the story on Friday evening, her last sentence was "Just when you wonder where all of the good folks have gone something like this happens. It would have taken us half a week to accomplish what they did in a few hours, I am so grateful."

I am so thankful for those workers and for their random acts of kindness. I hope you have a great week everyone!

The Great Flying Lucy

Meet Lucy, she is a pint size bundle of fur and personality. We have been watching her this last week for a friend. If you forget that your job is to pet her and throw the ball she'll sure let you know- her bark can be heard far and wide. Lucy loves to chew bones, take long walks in the park and has many, many sides to her character.

We call this the darling Lucy pose.

Here we have the silly Lucy.

And finally we have the charming Lucy. She may have forgotten to bring back the ball but she wins points for bringing you some flowers instead. Happy Friday everyone!
