NYC and City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 381 ~ Colorful Birds

I went to NYC last week, to see little Alfie Coconut....


he is as cute as can be, I spent a lot of time at Dolce's apartment with Alfie while Dolce is at work, he sure is happy that I am there.

We stay at a hotel on the upper west side, just a few steps from The Dakota....


The Dakota Apartments is famous as the home of the John Lennon from 1973 to his murder outside the building in 1980.

I also went to the Strawberry Fields in Central Park, it was named after the Beatles' song Strawberry Fields Forever written by John Lennon.


This time we used a pet sitter for Papi recommended by our neighbor Bob. It didn't turn out well, it really DIDN"T!!!!!

My poor baby...


Well, Bob uses Joy, the pet sitter when he travels, which is not very often, he only has good things to say about Joy, so we didn't even hesitate, we called Joy a few days before our trip and she said OK right away, when she arrived, we told her that we don't wear shoes at home, so she did take off her shoes. And she also told us that she doesn't want to use our alarm system, well, she will be the one staying in our house for 4 days while we are gone, so we leave it to her. What she didn't know is that we have a pet cube, a pet camera where I used to see Papi while I am not at home with him, and for the kids when they want to see Papi too. It shocked me to death when the first thing I saw Wednesday morning, I saw Joy pushes Papi real hard when he stand up and watch her prepared her food, and then Papi was very scared..............


My heart was bleeding when I saw that, sop sop....

And that is no all, she wore her shoes around the house, and worst thing is, she invited different people to our house at least 4 different times. WHAT ON EARTH IS SHE THINKING?????? Not only she wore her shoes, all her friends walk on our clean carpet with their shoes on, Oh my, I was about to explode, we keep our house very clean, and then someone who supposed to pet sit and house sit (we didn't really need a house sitter), but this is what she does, she stay over when she pet sit.
She also lied to me that Papi eats well, I know my dog, and I watched from the video that Papi's bowl is full as she texted me and said:" Papi did very well, he finished all his food and I filled it up again, and then he ate it all up again" What a lier!
When we came home, we said nothing, we just pay her and hope she get out as soon as possible, everything just feels very different for both of us, we both feel that the house is very dirty, and that we were violated. Later, we found out that at least two of the people that came over was someone who stay two houses away, we have not talk to this couple because DH said when we first move to Vegas, he tried to say hello to them but they didn't response, and then 7 years went by, we don't really see them out of the house much, in fact, I don't even know how they look like. How would you feel that a neighbor that whom you have not really "met" or know, come into your house and have a house tour when you are not home, who invited them? who give them the right to come into our house knowing that we are not home? I just want to YELL OUT LOUD....... what is going on????????

SIGH...........

First thing we do the next morning is to change all our locks on the doors.
When you have someone at your house for a few days, and then found out that is one that cannot be trusted, and invited different people who you do not know to your house as if that is HER house, this is the least we can do!

.........

I better talk about happy things or I will explode!

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 366 ~ Frame it!

I get to spent a few days in New York with Dolce and Alfie Coconut, we went to the storage place to moved all her boxes and luggages back to the apartment, I went to get grocery for her, cook some meals and let her freeze them in the freezer so that would save her some cooking time once she starts work.



my last day in New York, Dolce and Alfie Coconut sent me off at Penn Station, where I took the Long Island Rail Road to Islip to meet up with DH and then fly home from there.


as soon as we touched down at McCarren Airport in Vegas at 11 PM, Thursday night, I continue the journey, drove 4 hours to Valencia to pick up my baby boy at Clare's apartment...


and then drove another 4 hours back to Vegas, it is amazing the things you are willing to do for your dog.


.......................................

This week at....



The theme is ....

FRAME IT!


these days I don't really craft much, probably just the one project per week for the challenge at City Crafter Challenge Blog....


I don't have a busy summer in terms of work, not teaching at summer camp this year, and teach only a few hours per week to my private students that's about it. I spent most of my time cleaning up and tidying up the house, and tomorrow we are having our bathroom remodeled, I am so not looking forward to that.


Don't forget to hop over to City Crafter to see all the beautiful work done by the team.

Our Beautiful World 182 ~ Beautiful

This is Miss Lila.....


Miss Lila has a BEAUTIFUL story....

 

Few years ago, she was made to breed puppies, and then abandon on the street.....


and then they met....

 Clare volunteer at the shelter and became the foster parent of Lila, at that point, Lila was to put away unless someone adopted her because she was rather aggressive and had medical condition......


after taking care of Lila for a month, Clare fall in love and decided to adopt her, so now Lila has become a princess....


last month, we celebrated Lila's adoption day, we do not know how old is she, but the guess is about 3-4 years old, we had a little doggie party, I made the princess tiara and the party hats....


bake the cake for Miss Lila....


and the pack had lots of fun




today, Miss Lila had overcome a lot of obstacle, with lots of love and care from Clare and Jared, Miss Lila has learn to trust people, she no longer bark aggressively at men and even willingly let the men in our house pat her. She learn how to play with other dog, especially Coconut (Alfie - that's what Dolce likes to call him)


do you have a BEAUTIFUL story to tell?
