Cesar’s right-hand-“man,” Daddy

Cesar’s right-hand-“man,” Daddy

Cesar Millan announced that his longtime friend and partner, Daddy the pit bull passed away Friday after at the ripe age of 16.

Daddy stood as champion for calm-submissive pit bulls everywhere, and was instrumental in helping to repair their image as violent, savage, uncontrollable beasts.

RIP Daddy.

The Lion in the Closet. Brave Heart Lion Urn

Brave Heart Lion Keepsake Urn

This sculpture by one of the Urn Garden artists keeps coming around, and there’s always a wild story to go with it.  The latest is a client who was involved with a Las Vegas animal rescue operation back in the ’80’s. She handled exotics.

Big cats and monkeys.

Funny thing, this story had a familiar ring to it.

Turns out, she had the ashes of a lioness that had been in the closet all these years. She stumbled on to our Brave Heart lion keepsake urn while shopping for a different style cremation urn for another sad occasion.

One look and she knew she had to deal with the lion in the closet. She’s only has half the ashes.  This urn is designed for keepsake size portions and won’t accommodate all of her ashes.  But she has a plan.

Bark at the Moon

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Back in June, while trying to get ideas for Father’s Day, I ordered the Wolf T-shirt for my man. So he could feel the magic.

The only problem? I received a child’s size small.

Luckily, I have a man in my life that can wear it and he looks magical in it. However, shirts a little snug across his rippling chest.

Calling All Angels: Adenhart Memorial

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Angel’s fans have rallied to honor the memory of Nick Adenhart, the rookie who was killed by a drunk driver earlier this year, on April 9, just hours after he pitched at Anaheim Stadium.

Fans have placed caps, homemade signs, personal messages and stuffed Rally Monkeys to honor Adenhart at the stadium and the “touching” memorial is still in place.

Build Me Up Buttercup

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Snowdrops and daffodils are strong and beautiful.  They survive  harsh weather conditions, neglect, and continue to multiply.

City planners and developers love the Bradford Pear tree and it’s always an early bloomer.

The Bradford Pear has a distinct odor. Lately? I’ve been smelling a strong cat pee odor.  Turns out?  It’s the Bradford Pear trees!

Forsythia brings the explosion of early spring color. My neighbor sculpts and manicures his bush, trying to keep it contained. Personally, I think it looks better on the wild side, like fireworks.
