Bunny Sunday

There's a new bun in town.  Meet Daisy!

I stopped at a garage sale yesterday morning on a whim...and came home with a bunny.  Seriously.  There sat Daisy, in the Arizona heat, in a very small cage with a FREE sign on it.  I snatched her up without a second thought.  Ugh, people.  :(

Her "owners" gave me the all too common story:  "We bought this bunny for our daughter 3 months ago and now she has lost interest.  We're gone all day at work and the bunny just sits in the cage with no attention."  Ugh again.

Little Miss Daisy is about 4 months old and weighs a mere 2.5 lbs. She is just as sweet as can be, loves attention and even likes to be held.  The other five buns aren't too sure about the newcomer, but I'm hoping they will come around eventually.  For now, she has her own place and is making herself very comfortable!

If anyone knows what her coloring is called, I'm curious.  She has somewhat of a calico coloring (brown/tan, grayish black) on her back and ears, but then the black spotting on her face.  No matter what it is, she is just adorable!

Happy Bunny Sunday :)

Thought I'd share one of my favorite pictures of Nutmeg and me lounging in the garden.  :)

I'm sure she thought she should be the one on the hammock! 

Happy relaxing Bunny Sunday everyone.

Rottweiler Wednesday

Summer has arrived here in the desert... triple digit temps all week.  Ugh!  Boots has been spending a lot of time in her pool.

We have been going out running together very early in the mornings to beat the heat (as in, 5:30 early) and this is what she does as soon as we get back:

Sometimes even join her :)

Happy Rottie Wednesday!

Happy Bunny Sunday to all the bunny dads out there!  You make the world a better place.  :)

Rottweiler Wednesday

Angel, the "original" rottweiler.  :)

Tomorrow will be 2 years since she left us.  Hard to believe it has been that long already...

She was a great bunny guardian and tolerated Nutmeg's bossy behavior.  Nutmeg would come up behind her and nip her in the butt and make her move!  And Angel would go find another place to lie down and relax.  They had an understanding. 

I like to think they are all hanging around together like this on the other side of the bridge...

She's buried out by her horses.  Every morning she would go outside first thing and walk down the fence line and make sure all of the horses were accounted for.  It was a job she took very seriously.  (I didn't notice until after I took this picture that Boots was in the background...it really looks like it could be Angel).

Yep, this is her butt!  A heart with wings.  How appropriate.

A very happy, young and healthy girl...this is how I will always remember her.

Happy Rottie Wednesday.

Rottweiler Wednesday

We took a little road trip to New Mexico over Memorial Weekend.  Of course, Boots went with us.  We stopped at a funky roadside stand/petting zoo going through the mountains.

Hey, look what I caught!

"Mom, I think you've been hanging around the horses a little too long."

Boots is such a happy girl.  Everywhere she goes, she makes new friends.  Yes, this is a baby camel!  And no, it didn't spit at us.  ;)

It's good to be Boots.  She has the best adventures.

Happy Rottie Wednesday!

Bunny Sunday

Bunny in a Basket...

With little Turbo, there is no lack of adorable pictures!  She is such a little poser.  ;)

Happy Bunny Sunday everyone!
