I have decided to return to the “normal” Weekly Video/Photo section of my blog.  As you likely know we lost Shadow about two months ago and I have been focusing this section on Shadow.  However, I have peace knowing I will continue to highlight favorite photographs including Shadow and Buster.  The plan will still be to still display a video or photo, usually highlighting an Adventure, while I might also sneak in some that are humorous, adorable, or just other fun dog moments.

If you have followed my blog from the beginning you will know that I adopted Shadow as a puppy, and about a year later adopted Buster as a puppy.  We had many wonderful years together before experiencing the devastating loss of Buster at just seven.  It took a long time for our hearts to heal, but almost a year later we welcomed little Wilma into our world.  We were recently devastated to loose Shadow on April 3, 2020.  It is so painful to know Shadow and Buster are both gone, but they will be in our hearts forever!

Today’s photograph is an absolutely precious photograph of Wilma and her Mother. This photograph was taken long before I knew Wilma. I adopted Wilma when she was 12 weeks old, when she was rescued from where she lived in Alabama. I really cannot get enough of the adorable tiny Wilma and the way this photograph captures the bond and nurturing care of her sweet Mama. On an amazing note, her Mother was adopted by someone that is on our facebook rescue page so we get to see what she is up to as well. So so thankful to have this special photograph.

So although I cannot take credit for taking it, I will forever treasure it!

Wilma and I want to wish all our family, friends and followers a Happy Easter! One of my fun ways to celebrate was of course a greeting with the Easter Bunny! Wilma was quite entertained with this meeting – which caused me quite the laugh. She was scared for about five seconds, and then relished the endless belly rubs and attention. I only captured one video, but of course I took endless photographs. It was a fun event! This was the second time Wilma has met the Easter bunny as two years ago Shadow and Wilma posed elegantly! The first round Wilma thought he was a big furry blanket, always my energetic entertainer. So of course I must include the photograph from the first visit, a special memory, and snapshot, in my heart.

I wanted to thank Quite Fetching Barkery and Pet Boutique in Grafton, Massachusetts! They not only host events like meetings with the Easter Bunny they also have amazing cakes, and a shop. Definitely check them out if you are a crazy dog mama like me!

Happy Easter from our to yours!

It has been one year since we lost our sweet Shadow. I had an amazing 12 years with him, he and Buster had an amazing 7 years together, and Wilma and Shadow had an amazing 3 years with him. He really took a piece of my heart with him when he passed. I feel peace looking at endless photographs and videos of him, our Adventures, and the simple times at home. I always hope that he and Buster and are enjoying themselves wrestling, and cuddling. Today I choose some of my endless favorites, and for those of you who did not see my collages from last year I figured I would put the link below so you can see more. I cannot believe it has been a year, but am so blessed that he had 12 wonderful years in this world, changing my life forever. Cheers to my special boy!

Today’s snapshop is a puppy photograph of Wilma, I would guess she is about six months. She is perfectly posing in one of our bright red chairs. It seems like she was just a puppy the other day, but now she is four! She really has come a long way! Here she is….

I have decided to return to posting new “Throwback Adventures” after taking time to re-post some of my favorites with Shadow.  This has been a therapeutic process for me to share.  We are devastated that both Shadow and Buster have both passed, but find peace knowing we can continue to remember them through our “Throwback Adventures”.  They were amazing boys and are forever in our hearts.

I have decided to make some changes to my Throwback section. This is partly because I have had the blog for about two and a half year and each week I have posted an Adventure from before I started the blog. This has become more challenging between finding old photographs, and identifying the location. Although I will still be adding some here and and there I thought I would also use the Throwback Adventure to share past Adventures I have posted. I have new followers, and of course not every follower has been able to view all blogs.

Today’s Throwback Adventure is from Greycourt State Park in Methuen, Massachusetts.  This Park is a recreation area that covers 24 acres atop the partially restored ruins of the Charles H. Tenney estate.  Shadow, Wilma, and I visited back in June 2018. I remember having trouble finding this park, but loving it when we finally arrived. It had so many unique details, and features. Definitely a fun place to add to our Adventures. Please see below for a summary video and click here to see the full original blog: June 23, 2018 – Greycourt State Park – Massachusetts

Today my special girl, Wilma Mae, turned four! I was excited to celebrate this day, a good excuse for a party!! Wilma started off spending the day at my parents, and continued the celebration later in the day with a party at my house! I bought her a ritzy birthday cake, my parents spoiled her with presents, and of course we had lots of play time and whip cream! Wilma absolutely loved having her Grandparents visit, playing ball and as expected her favorite presents were a series of balls. Here are endless photographs, and some videos of a very entertaining day. Happy Birthday to my sweet girl! We couldn’t love you more!

I wanted to thank Quite Fetching Barkery and Pet Boutique in Grafton, Massachusetts! They not only make original dog cakes, they have a fun store, and special dog events. Definitely check them out if you are a crazy dog mama like me! I also want to thank my generous parents who love and spoil Wilma and indulged me in this fun evening of celebration!

Starting of the day with Grandma and Grandpa!

What do I do now Mom?

Oh wait…this is tasty!

Time for some presents – almost too excited!

Whip Cream for dessert

Today’s photograph is a precious snapshot of my boys, Buster and Shadow. I love this peaceful scene, I am sure it was after one of our fabulous Adventures. Buster and Shadow were best buds and could often be found near one another. This photograph always makes me smile, and thought I would share it today. I will miss my boys forever!

PS – And yes, that’s one of their dog beds, next to the couch – they saved it for me (haha).

Today’s photograph is a backyard photograph of Shadow and Wilma saying “HI Mom”. I love this photograph, and miss this pair. So glad Wilma had three amazing years with our sweet Shadow. We sure do miss him! Are they not adorable?!

Today Wilma and I adventured to Starbucks for a taste of the dog-famous Puppuccino, after a local walk. I more recently had heard about this luxury whip cream treat for our furry friends and finally fit it into our schedule. I was excited for Wilma to taste this luscious treat. I of course found a Starbucks with a drive-thru and also ordered myself an expensive delicacy, a Pistachio Cream Frappuccino- not too bad! After ordering I decided to give Wilma her Puppuccino in the car of the parking lot as I figured it would be much better fluffy then melty. As expected she enjoyed her tasty whip cream and I was entertained by the process. A fun little moment to add to our day (This blog will not be rated).
