  1. muffin | georis garden greeter

    May 20, 2012 by heaven

    gooooood day my snifflings!  the daily sniff is on the road!!   after a week of sniffing the sage + sea scented air along the coast,   i landed a sweet comfy landing in carmel valley, ca.  be still my heart for the adorable pups i’ve met so far.

    for our first introductions allow me to present — ‘muffin’ — the cutest fluffy white bean with an adorable under-bite.    she and i locked eyes yesterday at happy hour as i loaded my napkin full of sausages.  her steely gaze and mega watt smile were hard to resist, and yeah.. i didn’t.

    she is the unofficial mascot of georis tasting rooms and gardens , and a failed foster pup.   failing being the best thing ever,  as she was too perfect and she was adopted by her foster mum.   :)

    as the servers cleared the tables and i eeeked out the last bit of sun in the corner of the garden, muffin started her ‘clean-up’ and i wandered over to say goodbye.

    – thank you miss muffin!  see you soon. –

    *sunny sniff out*

    'georis winery', 'georis tasting rooms and gardens', 'carmel valley ca'

    my eeked out sunny nook. perfection!

    i spy muffin the head of the clean-up crew

    'you have sompin for me?'

    'mmm.. i'm not sure, i don't know you very well'

     

    'oh wait... it smells delicious! yeah hey i think now that you mention it, we've met before right? at the sausage table?? :) '

    bye muffin! see you next time.

     


  2. los | a pup in wating

    April 4, 2012 by heaven

    he was waiting for his mum to finish shopping when i saw him in all his hooded splendor.  oh for the love… seriously?   i’m weak.

    i stopped for a cuddle, took a few pictures and waited with him to see if his mum would come out before i left.  lucky for me she did!

    i found out his name is los,  he is 11 yrs old, a rescue, probably a doxie chichi mix (ooo a chawinnie!),  his furr is bunny soft thanks to the fish oil his mum and dad give him, and he’s had nine lives.

    he’s been run over by a car, been so chubby that he had severe back issues and.. oh shoot.. i can’t remember now, but needless to say i think his ninth life is looking to be his best yet.

    so happy to have met you little dude. motor on!

  3. coco | cute beach girl

    July 19, 2011 by heaven

    ‘oh dear…it’s cute’ i’m pretty sure that’s what slipped out my lips. then i stopped for a photo and a snuffle.

    this is coco, she is a poodle-shih tzu-? (ummm…sorry.. my mind is a blank on the last bit.. but it’s something cute and fluffy…) she is two years old and loves loves loves her family.

    she looks so scared in these photos… but it’s just the camera she’s a’feared of. when the camera was down she was all love and cuddles.

    hope your day at the beach was rockin’ coco!

    *sniff out*

    lord help me.. that sandy little muzzle is almost too much!

    on her way to come see me... little shy one.

    'meanie... who said you could do that.. take my picture and everything.. huh?'


    'wait.. what? you have a treat??'

    'mmmm... can i have one?? thanks lady' : )


  4. foxy | tweed ride trottin’

    April 3, 2011 by heaven

    yesterday a last minute call to tweed was heard and i answered.  it was the annual Tweed Ride in Porland and with nothing planned for a Saturday mid afternoon…we headed down to see what we could see. sans bikes…but still a good time. {full blog post here.. lots o’tweed + vice}

    i expected a few more tweed flavored pups to be there…but foxy was the queen of this day.  she is a 3 year old chow mix and sweet like a button.  she was there with her mum and dad and ever so well behaved with so much going on.

    she just cruised around keeping an eye out for mum and dad.  should either one of them move from where they were standing she was immediately by their side, checking in…making sure all was ok before she trotted off again in search of a stick to chew or a treat to nibble.

    i can’t wait to hear how the ride went!   keep in touch foxy and let us all know.

    {more info on the tweed event .. here and full global schedule here.}

    *sniff out*

    oh foxy, giving it all up so easily... :)

     

    'you have a stick? treats??'

    getting luvs from the papa.

    doopa doo.. cruisin'

    nice smile foxy

    tall bikes, tweed and pups.. yes.. it's portland. :)


  5. seamus | ruler of the dogpark

    March 17, 2011 by heaven

    happy st. patrick’s day!! i’ve held off introducing you to seamus….cuz.. well.. his name is seamus! :)

    seamus is a scruff of a dog. with an adorable wiry coat, coal colored eyes and a sweet little licorice nose.

    being a typical wee lad…seamus struts and fluffs about the park as if he owns it. all challengers to this fact are quickly and swiftly dealt with.

    have a very happy st patrick’s day seamus!! see you round the park.

    *sniff out*

    i am a push over for tiny turned out legs.

    this didn't last long. but i like the little connection we all make here.

    'lady with the treats..you better give me mine first'

    'you have treats too?! yes, i can sit and be cute' {i think i gave him a handfull :) }

    seamus...dog park overlord. taking it all in. bye little dude!! have fun storming the castle.


  6. lola | coffee + boots

    March 4, 2011 by heaven

    I was just popping over to the store for some eggs.. wasn’t going to be gone long…wasn’t walking far.. aaahh.. take my camera??  don’t take my camera?? it’s heavy… it will be annoying to carry with  groceries.. but I always regret it when i  don’t.. argh…oh ok.

    well sweet nuggets of goodness, i’m glad i did!  look who i found! Lola!  Isn’t she perfect in every way?  She and her mum were waiting in line at sterling coffee roasters in nw portland, yes.. we love our coffee here in portland..  i HAD to stop and say hello.

    and for this… i was rewarded with ‘tiny corn row love’.   If you have experienced that, you know how cute it is,  tiny little nibbles all around my wrists.  ‘Can i keep her??!!’  : )  yah..ummm no.  mum would have none of that.

    Lola is just 2 years old…a mix of lab + unknown  {i thinking possibly shar pei? }  Her mum told me that she adopted her when she was just 8 wks old and looked like a tiny polar bear.. pure white with tiny coal black eyes.  yes,  i almost fainted.

    As we parted ways, i  got a bit more Lola love and that was that.  My day was made.

    Thanks lovely Lola…you are a doll.

    *sniff out*

    oh hello gorgeous one

    she had me at little heart shapped nose.

    goodbye love.. have a sweet day.


  7. summit | bestest smile award

    February 25, 2011 by heaven

    Summit is glorious!  I just want that to be known.  She loves humans. Smiles brilliantly. REEELLY enjoys a treat. And will eat tiny snowballs if you offer them.

    I met miss S outside of Trilogy Video where her mama, carrying a load of dry cleaning,  was tying her up so that she could head inside.

    As I couldn’t bear to leave her…I was still hanging with Summit when mama got back. *sheepy grin* ‘she’s too cute to leave’. Mom told me that she is a golden mix, rescued from the Salem Humane Society at just 11 weeks old. She has two brothers that friends of the family adopted and they are just as awesome.

    While we were chatting the tiny snowball snow got bigger and bigger… the cutest snow EVER! If you were in portland today you know. It wasn’t hail….it was teeny tiny snowballs. Oh my love for a tiny thing! sigh…

    Thanks Summit and mama for letting me spend some time. I Hope the day was fab with a side of delightfull

    *sniff out*

    best smiler

     

    if i perk my ears like this...can i have another treat?

     

    juuump!

     

    'ok, i'll be good.. i swear it... *pant*pant*pant..'

    I LOVE the sweepy marks her happy tail made. like sidewalk 'snow' angels

    *waaaag to the right....*

    'your welcome Summit...see you next time sweet girl'
