Sunshine!
I almost tripped over your silly soccer ball when I came home today!
Ooooo! This looks promising!
It’s soft – I think I can make this work – if only I could get to…
…that soft stuff inside. Bingo!
Success! Perfect for feathering my nest!
I told you to put your toys away!

Interesting choice of nest material. I wonder if ‘eau d’chien’ (all assuming my French is correct and ‘chien’ is dog) is the perfume of choice for birdie interiors this year? 😉
I think you are correct. Soccer Ball Fluff – the softest stuff. I think it’s even hypo allergenic 😉
Love him! Labradoodles and Golden Doodles are a lot of fun. A handful and a half until they mature, but pure love 🙂
I got Sunshine when he was just a bit over 2 years old. He’s the sweetest dog I’ve ever known. So gentle, but a bit of an airhead at times. He plays like a poodle, but has that sweetness of the golden. His only fault is that he believes he is a tiny dog. He tries to hide in very small spaces, and he often gets stuck. 😊
So sweet! ❤

That face just melts your heart:) Love the birdie helping itself to some nesting material! Happy Weekend
He is a sweety – I’m getting him a new toy tomorrow. Hopefully he will keep it safely away from the birds.
Ha! Too funny. I think that’s why so many of the birds nests around me are funny colors also.
Hey – if it’s there it’s fair game!
Love it when a plan comes together.
LOL! Sunshine is adorable. And so nice to share. Our girls would so be chasing the bird!
You know, Sunshine is a Goldendoodle, so he should have some interest in birds – zilch. One terrier notices if they fly really close, but otherwise they all ignore the birds. I feel bad because Sunshine has had that toy for about 5 years – it was the first toy I got for him and he typically puts it on a rug in the front room. He’s very attached to it.
Sugar had a “pig” she was attached to….she loved it til there was only an ear left. 😉
Sunshine has several ducks that are in various states of wholeness. He is very careful and doesn’t destroy them. The girls take out the stuffing to aggravate him. He has kept this silly soccer ball away from the girls for years now.
Well I hope there is “some” stuffing left! If not, I’ll keep an eye out for another soccer ball for him!
It’s still got some stuffing, although it doesn’t seem to matter to him. I should get him a new one at Petco tomorrow – he’s due 🙂
But he may not want a “new” one? 😉 LMK on that one!
Geat pics. Is that a siamese in the background chowing down?
Nah – that’s a Jack Russell Terrier. She would be so upset to be confused with a cat 🙂 That’s what a shallow depth of field gets you though 🙂
Aww what a cute story… I always love the commentary that accompanies the photos. 🙂
Thanks – just being silly. That bird was so intent on getting into that toy – Sunshine has had it for years and just started taking it outside.
Is it one of Sunshine’s fave toys?
Yes – it is his very favorite. I was shocked to see it out in the yard.
He’s going to be so sad! Does he know yet??
I think he was pretty oblivious last night. It’s had a good run, I need to get him a new one. He’s such a goofball – he likes to take a toy out to nap with on the grass. That one never leaves the house.
Sounds like he has a delightful personality! Wish I had a toy to sleep with!
Wait that could be mis-interpreted… 😉
😱 LOL – he does have a wonderful sweet disposition.
Great pics! How do you resist kissing that vanilla nose on your puppy?
He’s pretty hard to resist 🙂
Oh what a face! Sunshine is a sweetheart – I had lots of cool bird sightings today – a red headed woodpecker, red brested grosbeak, baltimore oriole – most excited about the woodpecker – pretty rare to see.
Sunshine is a mess – he needs a haircut! I have had oranges out for a week hoping to spot an oriole – lucky you! I adore woodpeckers – such amazing birds.
LOL! Sharing and caring, that’s what it’s called 😉
Well – Sunshine is pretty generous. 🙂
