Camera Critters ~ Sweet Whiskey Sour


Hosted by Misty

I took these a few weeks ago when the weather was still warm and I was baking that day so had the door open (yeah I know we need a storm/screen door here still). My sweet little girl does NOT like to be relegated outside! She waits patiently, well sort of patiently for me to click my tongue which is her signal to come back inside.

Camera Critters~My 2 favorite Characters~AGAIN


My 2 favorite characters – AGAIN!!
Whiskey brings Gunner the toy to play with (she never learns).

He is vicious with her when it comes to toys, but he never hurts her.
He just rarely lets her win, he has the strength of a 300 pound man.

Proof in case the above and below photo.

At the end of the day it was okay since their big brother came to visit and they knew that meant it was okay to be on the couch with him – it’s the only time, so I don’t know if they were happier to see him or be on the couch LOL.

Gunner still won’t give up the toy f the moment!

Whiskey decided maybe the ottoman was okay too.
She was just being too cute so I let her stay.

Camera Critters~baby Whiskey

6 years ago this next week hubby gave me the 2nd best (I’d say 1st, but I reserve that for my engagement ring all those years ago) birthday present, our sweet little Whiskey. I had always, and I mean always wanted a golden retriever. So this little runt was my birthday present from hubby in 2002. She is real little lover and a definite fur child. She left the classification of dog the minute I held her.


She didn’t particularly like where her bed was located.


She’s happy with it here surrounded by her toys.

She thought she’d try the lazy girl’s way of playing.

This was her favorite hiding place when her big brother was in the house. It took them a while to warm up to each other.

Skywatch Friday blends into a Colorful Photo Hunt Saturday
and then Camera Critters Sunday via the Upper Peninsula State Fair.

The bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds made a wonderful backdrop for skywatch Friday.

You can’t get more colorful than the midway at a state fair for the Photo Hunt Saturday colorful theme!

Had to have a hand dipped locally made ice cream cone as the day got warm.

With all the new babies that were born at the fair, I couldn’t think of a better entry for Camera Critters Sunday.



This big old marine and the flags also made good back drops for more skywatch pictures.

This guy was HUGE – a real Foghorn Leghorn.

They had an awesome display of antiques. These kitchen antiques truly made me appreciate today’s modern conveniences as did these garage tools for hubby.

The kids dioramas were really wonderful.



These two nose to nose were sooooooooo adorable.
And I think this guy needs a little more fiber in his diet.


They had a great sense of humor too.



The petting zoo was a big hit with all the kids!

Camera Critters ~ Sady the beggar

Who can resist critters? Come join us and have some fun.

This is Sady. She’s 10 years old. Her momma must have met with an ill fate as I found her and her 2 sisters abandoned behind my garage in 1998. They were only a couple of weeks old. I raised the 3 of them with baby bottles and mush food. Sady grew on me and begged to stay. I found great homes for her sisters and she settled in to our household like she’d always been there. After all she’d been hand fed so she expected to continue to be!

Forgive our subfloor for showing, but we haven’t done these floors yet. Sady truly believes she’s entitled to people food and hubby indulges her every whim. He’s taught her to sit up for her treat.

Camera Critters ~ Gunner & Whiskey ~ Summer Fun

Gunner and Whiskey wanted to share their summer fun pictures.

Whiskey and her favorite toy.

Gunner doesn’t go anywhere without a toy and he is giving us his poor, pitiful me look.
Here he has his favorite soccer ball or at least what’s left of it.

Gun lives for his pool in the summer!

Watch out, that tongue is as strong and quick
as his tail that clears the coffee table in one swoop!
Eventually Whiskey just wants to go inside and call it a day!

Camera Critters ~ More Momma

I promise this will be my last “momma” post for awhile, but these were so cute and she is letting me get so close to take them! She’s still enjoying her meals at our place and still nursing her little one so I don’t mind doing the ‘cooking’. I know how truly blessed I am to have this at my front door AND am always in awe when I see the animals day after day.

Camera Critters – Thumper

My Friend Misty started this great meme.

A couple of years ago someone let a couple of
domestic bunnies run loose and we have
had a neighborhood full since.

Thumper chowing down in our neighbor’s yard on some fast growing grass from all our rain!
Now he’s headed over to the shade of a big tree in the park for a nap.
