I found Minnie's Canine Cousin....

Vivi Mouse!!

:0)

Our bulldog club had its Halloween Party Sunday & I wasn't sure what Vivian wanted to be so I put this together for her...

Awww...a bully after my own Disney heart!!
 

Happy early Halloween everyone!

Sadly...none of the items that may scream "Halloween Costume" were purchased for such...I honestly just had the ears, the dress (a recent $3 find at Petco) & my headband on hand...not sure why I'm telling you that, makes me look weird doesn't it?  :0)

Have no fear, the boys will be dressed up for the actual holiday!  Hmmm...what WILL they be?????? 

Weekend Recap

Ahhh...one guess at what I did this weekend??

If you guessed dog show, you're correct.  Love my after-show naps, especially when I have my nap buddies keeping me company.  Vivi & I had some early mornings to drive to Iowa this weekend & the drive was nice & uneventful.  We don't have anything more to report on the show though...so the highlight was this nap & some good breakfasts w/great bulldoggers!

This week it got colder again in MN.  Boo!  Yesterday morning it was 40 degrees as I was driving to Iowa...no good.  The week before it was in the mid-to-upper 80s...it was heavenly.  I took these photos last week...glad I did, the majority of the leaves are now at the compost site (thanks Steve!).  The tree was really pretty this year!

This weekend also brought out some tears.  Two good friends lost their doggies to the rainbow bridge.  My heart aches for them both & their losses remind me of how thankful I am for any time with my bullies & kitties and I will enjoy every second I have with them.

Hope you all had a great weekend & hug your bullies/doggies/kitties!!

Wordless Wednesday

...well almost...maybe someday I'll do a true Wordless Wednesday.

"Momma-seriously??"

Ok, a real update...

Ahhh my blog!  My friends!!  How ARE you??  Omg!  It's October!!  How did that happen!!??  I'm sorry I've been so sporadic in my posts!  This summer was crazy busy with showing Vivi--which I have posted are highlights--and the remodel of the bathroom...which again, I've posted.  Of course we did more than just that...we had to...let's see....what else did we do...take a look:

Vivi eyes my breakfast in a hotel near Milwaukee, WI.

Vivi takes time to work on her camouflaging.  She's getting good at it.

Vivi got taken on walks by baby Winnie...Vivi let her.

We drove through small towns & saw things like this.....

and lots of cornfields.

At home, we did fun things like playing with a frisbee disc.

 They also played with Daddy through the window!  He's silly that Steve.

Doc tested out the bedding around the house...

Steve & I went to Disney World.

 

When in Disney World, I met up with a friend of mine (Jen) & her bulldog Twister.  It was great to get a bulldog fix when in Disney World...one that wasn't made of Legos.  :0)

Lastly, I did a lot...and I mean a LOT of sewing this summer!!  Which of course I loved!!  Here are a few of the goodies I made!!!

 So yeah...I've been a bit busy!  :0)  So I hope this novel of a photo post gives you a good idea of why my posts have been so few & far between.  Things are slowing down a bit & we do still have a few shows in the next couple weeks before they really dry up for the season; so I'm guessing I'll have some stories or photos to share!

Until then.....thank you all for reading & I really do hope you're all doing well & had a great summer!!

Have  a great week everybully!!

What in the World???

So Momma decides to post a video that looks like me, but not one of ME?!  Hmpf....no fairs.

Well, here...I'll post one of me...

It's my version of the happy dance!!

At the end momma says, "Vivi really likes the new mirror."  No momma....I just like to dance & show everybully my scary bark!!  I don't care about your mirror for the bafroom.  Iz a bulldog!!

You See This Yet?

Love this! 

Please note, while this bulldog does have a striking resemblance to Vivi (what a handsome/beautiful bulldog he/she is...), she has yet to give kisses like this to our kitties!

An Update in Photos

I'm not quite sure where the last few weeks went but I can sum up some of the goings on this week in some photos...hold please...

Oh dear...it just makes me want to cry everytime I see it!!  THIS, my friends, is our remodeled bathroom...ignore the paint...that hasn't been done yet...but my gosh!!  The floor, the tub, the tile walls, the vanity (not shown)...even the toilet...love them all!!

The bullies seem to like it too!!

"Oh Mommas...I fink it's purty!"

"Oh Mommas I supervised & it wooks very good!"

Howie had an impromptu trip to see Dr Jim this weekend.  Alls good now, but didn't want to take any chances...it was his eye.  He did a great job at the vet's office that they gave him this stylin' bandanna!

"Oh Mommas...I finks I looks so cool!  Let's go to the store & show my coolness off!!"

I've been busy working on these beauties!!  Not quite done, but will be soon!  :0)

Lastly, I saw these at the mall this weekend & pretty sure I hit a time warp!
