Tilly Kitchen Watching Time: Fruit Roll-Up

Fruit Roll-Ups. Yes, they still make them. Yes, they are still delicious. No, Tilly, they do not have any meat in them. This is of no concern to the Tilly. This Fruit Roll-Up thing is happening in the kitchen, and so it must be watched.

Tilly Kitchen Watching Time: cereal

This evening, we feature cereal. Tilly will also silently watch you eat the cereal. Why do you deny her the delectable cereal?

@ 3 years, 6 months, Bailey luvs walks with Tilly

My two handsome guys:

Tilly and Bailey await treats:

Happy Bailey & Tilly on a beautiful, sunny day:

Just a photo to document the really beautiful day it was:

Two cuties:

The evening saw some running around in the park, where Tilly scored and dug into a small apple before we could stop her (of course I took a photo first):

Happy Tilly in the park, and on the walk:

Happy Bailey after the walk, where he reminds me of his brother Jay in this post:

@ 3 years, 6 months: hanging with Tilly weekend #2

Kind of a low-key weekend. Tilly likes hanging out by me when I'm at my desk. Sometimes she likes hanging out under the desk:

Usually she lies down on the floor nearby:

Tilly often stands up on me to get my attention, which is rather cute. She did this one of her first nights, which I interpreted as a request to get me to go to bed:

Sometimes she brings a ball with her and chews on it on my leg, which is the international gesture for please-play-fetch:

Saturday movie night and we could no longer resist letting the cuddle-sized friend up on the couch. To be fair, we then had to let up the less-cuddle-sized friend as well:

Sunday breakfast and I can't get them to look at me, because they're fixated on the other one who goes into the cafe and comes back with delicious things. He is The Food Bringer:

Tilly is focused on The Food Bringer's mocha:

Bailey thinks his odds are good with me:

Food is still Tilly's priority, but Bailey spots something better...

...a puppy (you can catch a glimpse of puppy rump in the top right corner here):

Eventually, a table-ful of food is too hard to resist:

Tilly guest blogging: Tilly Kitchen Watching Time

It's another episode of Tilly Kitchen Watching Time. Tonight, we feature tofu poppers in marinara sauce. I explained to her that there's not even any meat in it, but it doesn't matter; she's fixated:

@ 3 years, 6 months: Tilly the house guest

It's Tilly! (Here being tempted by a piece of cinnamon roll—purely for photography purposes.)

We'll actually be watching Tilly for 1–2 months for our friends who are on a round-the-world trip. We started off the first weekend with some al fresco breakfast. Here, Bailey and Tilly are fixated on a bacon-egg-cheese sandwich:

They're so engrossed, neither of them notices the second bacon-egg-cheese sandwich over here:

Sunday morning's walk took us to the nearby park. Tilly is a surprisingly strong puller:

She loves fetch, which is a nice change of pace, because Bailey often thinks fetch = keep-away. Today, she did a lot of fetching while Bailey did some laps around the park.

Tilly's tastiness-seeking nose occasionally reminds her that a tasty piece of dried chicken is on the sideboard. She whimpers at it, stares at it, and sometimes stands up like a circus dog to get a better whiff of it:

Buddies relaxing together:

@ 3 years, 5.5 months: Bailey wants some strawberry gelato

@ 3 years, 5 months: Bailey luvs fusion taco trucks

Husband had to work late today. I noticed the city was having one of its Thursday night summer events: they close down the main street, have a small farmer's market + various booths + kids activities, and on a side street near us, a few food trucks. One of the best things about these Thursday nights is that they allow dogs—all of the city's summer festivals, as well as the weekly farmer's market, do not.

I decided Bailey's walk tonight definitely needed to involve some food truck action. We ambled about in the crowds a bit, then he got to play with other dogs, and wait [not so patiently] while I got some food from the Asian fusion taco truck:

Two short rib, one pulled pork taco later, and I had a tasty dinner, and Bailey was rewarded with a couple nibbles.

@ 3 years, 3 months: Bailey luvs Mugsy

We're remodeling our place and Bailey loves our architect's dog, Mugsy:

Today, the architect came out to take solar measurements on our roof and brought Mugsy along. I happened to be home with a cold, so I woke up from a nap to a lot of barking, and my dog inexplicably fixated on the sliding glass doors in the back. Turns out there was a pug on the other side. There was much chasing in the yard, and for some reason, a lot of trying to get into the house:

@ 3 years, 3 months: Bailey is good company on a sick day

Husband moved the Bailey bed over to my side, because I'm home sick:

The view from the bed:

@ 3 years, .5 months: how to do the dishes

How to get dishes done:

1. find sunny spot in kitchen
2. lie down within sunny spot in kitchen
3. doze in sunny spot while someone does the dishes
4. if necessary, move if sunny spot moves

@ 3 years, .5 months: Bailey so alseep

@ 3 years, .5 months: Bailey luvs a sunny napping spot

Morning light + the office and kitchen windows = perfect napping spots:
