Presleigh Belle

Generally, Presleigh finds my blog to be a complete waste of time. But when she heard about Debbidoo's Pet Linky Party, she insisted that I show case her pictures from the very beginning. The above pictures wes taken the day that I got her. She was 3 months old and so very shy. I was already in love with that sweet little fur ball.

I got her in the middle of football season so, of course, she had to have an Alabama cheerleading outfit. I'm sure that is how they won the National Championship.

This was Presleigh's first Christmas picture which was included in the Christmas cards.

This was an attempt to get a Christmas picture of both Presleigh and my Shih-tzu Zhoe. Presleigh was being camera shy. Maybe she was embarrassed of her Christmas pajamas.

This is one of my absolute favorite pictures of Presleigh. Look at that innocent little face. It is the wallpaper on my Macbook.

Thankfully she grew out of this phase. She used to insist on jumping on my stomach while I was doing crunches. I think that she thought she was helping.

She looks like such a girly girl with her pink butterfly bow and pink blanket. Looks can be deceiving because she is most definitely a tom boy. I used to fight her with the bows. I gave that up a long time ago.

Presleigh loves being on the bed with piles of blankets. Of course a bone just makes it that much better.

This is hilarious. We came in the room to find her dead asleep with all of her paws in the air and the boyfriend's visor around her waist.

It doesn't get much cuter than this. I love them both so much.

Presleigh was tired after getting a haircut.

Her hair gets a little crazy when she's been playing hard.

Valentine's Day 2011

I was actually trying to take a picture of the rug to sell on Craigslist but Presleigh thought it was all about her.

Sun bathing...

She is convinced that she should be a model.

Sleepy, sleepy girl. 

Now we are heading over to the Pet Party to check all of the other fur kids.

Happy Thursday!

Rainy days, that keep a very energetic yorkie stuck inside, seem to keep me from finishing projects. I'm hoping for sunshine tomorrow so that I can take Presleigh to the park for a run. After trips to the park, she comes home, eats her lunch, and is out for hours. Yes, she is just like a human child.

On the rare occasion that she is not right in the middle of what I am doing, I can usually find Presleigh in her car seat giving me this "I'm soooo bored" look. Part of the problem probably comes from the fact that she has a leopard car seat in the first place and that it also serves as her booster seat at the table. She can be a handful at times but I love the little fur ball with all my heart.

More Thrifty Finds

Just wanted to show off my goodies from my last trip to the thrift store...

Every time I go to the thrift store I pick up a stack of books, take them home, rip the covers off, and find them a special place. This group of books ended up by the fireplace, in the basket I found for $1.48. These book bundles are sold in stores like Pottery Barn and cost $39 for 4 books! Mine average about a dime each.

Here is another example of how I have been using my thrift store book finds for decorating. I found the horse book ends there too. I just love the contrasting colors and sizes of the books.

I spotted this wooden chess board for $0.79 and thought it would be a great addition to the shelves in the entertainment center.

Last, I found this empty spool for $0.99. I think it used to have some sort of cable wrapped around it. I plan to decorate it with chunky rope wrapped around the spool. Now, for where I am going to put it, I have no idea.

No, Presleigh was not a thrift store find, but I thought this picture was just too cute not to post :)
