Tiffy the Yorkie Barks About the Wonderful Organic Hair Care Products from Yorkie Splash and Shine!

Nov9

I love my new hair products!

I want to share with my blogging buddies the new organic hair products I had the opportunity to try.  Lately, I had been wondering if I could achieve the same fresh and shiny look that I get at the canine salon at home.  Well, fortunately for me a company called  Yorkie Splash & Shine sent me a message asking if I would be interested in trying their products.  Of course I wanted too!  And since Mom wasn’t home at the time, I answered the email myself and then waited patiently for my samples to arrive in the mail.

Dear Yorkie Splash & Shine I would love to try your products.
Tiffy the Yorkie

I was so excited the day my package arrived in the mail!   I couldn’t wait to try it all!  I jumped right into the sink, curlers and all!  ”Let’s get started mom!!”

First, we opened the shampoo, it smelled sweet and heavenly.

Come on Mom!! I can’t wait any longer!!

Next, I had to get wet.  Now, I’m not a big fan of getting wet, but it was necessary just the same.  Then we applied the conditioner to make my hair silky, smooth and shiny.  A quick rinse and I was out of the sink.

Time for a rinse.

When I got out of the sink, my hair was sprayed with the Yorkie Sheen Detangler/Finishing spray.  What we noticed right away was how this product made it so easy to comb through my hair.

I had never used a detangler before and this one worked very well :)  Looks like it’s time to dry off.

Time for the detangle r and finishing spray!!

On to the blowdrying.  This is how I am able to achieve that “fluffy puppy” windblown look that is “all the rage” with us dogs right now. :)

Time to blow dry…

Check out the results.  Presenting the sweet smelling, shiny and perfectly coiffed “Tiffy the Yorkie”……. Voila!

I just love my shiny, sweet smelling coat! I feel like one of those runway Yorkies I see on T.V.

I really enjoyed having the opportunity to sample the wonderful hair products from Yorkie Splash & Shine.  I absolutely love my shiny, sweet smelling coat.  I really enjoyed using the detangler/finishing spray because it made it very easy for mom to comb through my hair. These wonderful, all natural, organic products are not just for Yorkies and are available at their website.  Check it out.

Tiffy, your hair smells great. What have you been using?

Tiffy the Yorkie’s Update After Hurricane Sandy

Nov7

Wow! That was some wind!!

We are recovering in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  This was without a doubt a very scary and powerful storm.  Many in our area are still without power and some have lost their homes completely with the hardest areas hit being by the shoreline.  It has been days  but finally our power has been restored!  Hurray!  I’m happy to report that my house stayed intact and any tree that did come down was far away from the house.  You might be wondering where I’ve been since last week.  Well, our power was out for many days so I spent my time playing poker, making candles from melted wax and eating take out pizza.  We were fortunate to have a gas stove which could be lit manually and hot water.  Many in our area experienced much worse and some are still without power.  Here are photos of some of the downed trees, some of them are quite large.

Check out the size of that root ball!

Another tree down…

This fence will have to be fixed.

Trees in the neighborhood.

One thing that I did learn through this experience is that we were not prepared enough for this.  While we had things such as water, batteries, flashlights and candles, we could have used a generator, emergency radio and a supplemental heating system (wood burning preferably).  We will definitely be taking a trip to our local camping store and stocking up our supplies for any future events.

Tiffy the Yorkie Prepares for Hurricane Sandy the “Frankenstorm”

Oct29

Wow! This is one big storm!!

I was watching the news and they are predicting the arrival of Hurricane Sandy today.  As you can see, this dog is prepared.  I have all my essentials present and accounted for:  my remote, a comfy spot in bed and my favorite tennis ball to calm my nerves.  Fortunately for me, Mom took me outside very early this morning so I wouldn’t be blown away like Toto in the Wizard of OZ.  You may be wondering how this Hurricane Hound will be spending the next couple of days.

I think I will follow my 4B plan.  What is my 4B plan?? My Bake, Bark, Book, Ball plan of course. :)

Bake my favorite home made biscuits.

Bark at all the things blowing by in the wind. From inside the house of course :)

Books – Finally I can catch up on all my reading!

Ball, you didn’t think I would leave this one out :)

I have enough to keep me busy for the next couple of days, I hope the storm passes quickly.  Have a great day and stay safe.

Tiffy the Yorkie goes to School

Oct18

back from break

It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to blog and I’m happy to be back.  You may be wondering what I’ve been up to lately.  Well, as you can tell from the photo above, I endured a recent trip to the groomers.  And although I find the coiffing job to be “tre chic”, I concur with my friend Daisy, and could live without the pink bow. :)  Most of the time, Mom keeps my hair nice and trimmed, but at times it does get out of control, as is demonstrated in the photo below.

Time to visit the salon!!

Besides my glamour day excursion, I have been helping mom hit the books.  She has decided to go back to college and of course, I am there supporting the effort.  Here I am hitting the books too…  I think I read somewhere that if you lay on the books the information can be transferred much more efficiently.

This college stuff isn’t so hard.

I also decided that since I was going to give 100% of my support in this education effort, I might as well do the whole “college experience”.  What does this involve for a small dog you might wonder??

Doing an “all nighter” to study for exams!! I made sure to order pizza flavored dog biscuits.

Sleeping in on the weekend.

And partying of course..

Well, I guess it’s back to the books for me.

Tiffy the Yorkie Dreams of Cooking in the Kitchen!!!

Aug13

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I have found myself feeling a little bored this summer….  The other day, however,  I had the strangest experience.  It’s been so hot and humid lately that this dog finds herself in pursuit of some cool shade and relaxing activities.  So you can imagine how excited I was to find an unoccupied lounge chair in the shade and  when I leaped up to find a cozy spot I found a curious looking book.   A cookbook, with seafood recipes. I have seen my humans reading books in the shade so I figured it might be fun for me to do the same.  I decided to open it up and check out some of the recipes.

Hmmm. Shrimp!!

I think I could make that!!

While perusing the book, I came across the most delicious looking shrimp recipe!  However, I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand…

I don’t have all the ingredients. Perhaps a trip to the store is in order.

That’s okay..  I’ll just hop in the car and take a quick drive to the store.  What??  You didn’t know that I can drive???

Let’s see… How do you put this thing in reverse anyway???

What??? Okay, dogs get road rage too :)

After a quick trip to the store, I gathered my ingredients in a great big pot on the stove.  Then I waited patiently…

How long is this going to take anyway.

Finally!  The shrimp paella is done!  Of course, I will be given a large portion of the bounty!!  You can imagine how surprised I was when I went to my dog bowl only to discover it was filled with seafood flavored kibble.  SEAFOOD FLAVORED KIBBLE!!!!  WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PAELLA??

Hey!! Wait a minute!!! This isn’t shrimp paella!!! This is seafood flavored dog food!!

Let me retrace my steps.  I remember walking across the yard, spying the unoccupied lounge chair in the shade and curling up with an interesting cook book….  Hmmmm….  Could I have fallen asleep?  Maybe I really can’t drive to the store or read books??  Maybe I can’t even cook!!  Oh no!!  Could this whole drama have played out in my mind’s eye.  A sweet dream in a cool spot on a summer’s day?  I guess its true!!  But what to do now???  I certainly don’t want to eat this dry, “seafood flavored” kibble.  I know.  I’ll go back to bed and try to pick up my dream where it left off.

Shrimp dreams :)
