A Big Shout Out to Rare Bird Emporium for bringing treats to the Hospital (EWCH) during our difficult surge with Covid Patients!
It was very thoughtful, and supportive, and appreciated by all of Us! Thank You for showing the love!
So excited to share that we dropped off a bunch of new products at Rare Bird Emporium yesterday! This is the cutest shop šŸ˜ Everything displayed there is so darling - I can’t wait to see what they do with ours! If you’re in Murphy, NC - go check them out and grab some coffee. You won’t be disappointed šŸ’™šŸ¾
I'm 5 today! Or as Mom would say, I'm now a real handful.

Mom and Dad celebrated my birthday by taking me to get a puppuccino at our favorite coffee shop. The owners of Rare Bird Emporium made sure I got an extra helping of whipped cream, and they came out to the car to wish me a happy birthday.

It's so great to be loved.
I hope all my furry friends had a safe and pleasant Fourth of July weekend.

Since there’s still quite a bit to do on the house, our only ā€œfunā€ were the daily runs to for more supplies and our stops at Rare Bird Emporium for my puppuccino. I did get to meet a lot more new friends, especially Saturday, as everyone seemed to be in town that day.

Murphy was filled with tourists and visitors as it celebrated on the Third. One of the main roads in town was blocked off for an extended farmers market/crafts fair. There were people everywhere. I’m surprised they all found parking, but I think a lot of them had to hike a bit from their cars. At least it was a beautiful day, with temps in the upper 70s – my favorite ride weather.

Murphy and a few other towns had fireworks on the Third, while several other towns and private parties shot them off on the Fourth. We got to watch them all from the comfort of our living room. I had to bark a few times to give Mom and Dad a noise warning. I don’t think they truly appreciate my warnings, but, hey, it’s for their own good.
My friend (and illustrator) Carol Karow is a wonderful artist with an eye for the unique!
A graduate of Ringling School of Arts in Sarasota, FL, her portraitures are so lifelike, they look like a photograph! But she can also see the whimsy in everyday objects.
You can find several pieces of the her work at Wild Bird Emporium in Murphy, NC.
