one is the loneliest number ...

 

"one is the loneliest number that you will ever do ..."

~three dog night~

Today is Sunday once again ... and Sunday would not be the same without Kathy's Song~ography linky party!  Each week Kathy has a "fun mash~up of photography and song" ... a visual song, if you will.

Today's song choice is "one is the loneliest number" by three dog night.

I missed last week's song~ography linky fun.  Tried as i might i just could not come up with a photo for Kermit's "it is not easy being green"  Oh well ... 

But i was determined not to let this week slip away.  

Three years ago we brought Jake into our family ... a mini goldendoodle.  It was love at first sight!  

But when he was about two years ... we decided that one was really a lonely number ... 
he needed a playmate ... a four legged companion.  

Soooooo ... enter Cody into our home.  At first i thought i had lost my marbles ... having to start all over with the sleepless nights, the house breaking, the training, the extra costs ...

But one really is a lonely number ... so much better with the number two!

until next time ...

just a side note ... i used my new favorite app ... brushstroke ... on both images. I love all its features and the dreamy effects i can create!!  Dare i say that i enjoy it more than Waterlogue?  gasp... 
I have so much more control over the outcome ... and anyone who know me knows that i love control ... giggle giggle.  
I am going to print these on a heavy linen/cotton cardstock ... tear the edges ... then a trip to my favorite framer and have him float them on a white mat and finish with a dark frame.  
I just love my two doddles!

just being lazy...

"dogs are our link to paradise.
they don't know evil or jealousy or discontent.
to sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden,
where doing nothing was not boring...it was PEACE..."

Today is Sunday once again...and time for Kathy's Song~ography linky party!  Each Sunday Kathy has a "fun mash~up of photography and song titles"... a visual song!

This week's song choice is "just gonna be lazy" by Bruno Mars...just perfect for this time of year.  Our winter here in the midwest just will not leave us!  

Picture this...snow falling, temperatures dropping, me in my cozy p.j.s, the fire place glowing, my doodles curled up against my feet while i read Brene Brown's book..."the gifts of imperfection"

Now that sure spells out L.A.Z.Y. to me!

You see, i love to hibernate...the older i get, the cold just reaches down to my bones and will not let go.  So this winter you will find me at home knitting, quilting, taking photography classes and of course blogging away just waiting for springtime and sunshine!  

If you have a few moments, click here to find all kinds of laziness!

"oh, today i don't feel like doing anything,

i just wanna lay in my bed..."

Until next time...

puppy love...

March 1st...and time for another photo~heart connection!

After looking over all the photos i took this past month, i have to say,

 this by far is my favorite love photo.

Can you tell which teddy is real? 

My doddlebug is right in the middle of all the stuffed animals.

He is only one year old and usually very active.

but that day he posed so well at our photo shoot!

Jake is our toy goldendoodle.  His mother is a mini goldendoodle and his father a toy poodle.  He is so lovable and has a super soft coat.  His best days are when he is at the ring training!  Right now we are teaching him to put his toys away!  I could not even get my kids to do this when they were young...-:) 

 He has been given a Canine Good Citizen award and now we are doing more obedience training.  Our goal is have him become a therapy dog.  But right now, he still has alittle too much puppy in him.

He has brought us so much joy!  We all love to snuggle and get

those wonderful puppy kisses. 

Jake has captured our heart for sure!

I am submitting my photo over at Kat~Eye Studio for her photo~heart connection. 

 Be sure to click here to see all the other wonderful photos.

Until next time...
