Charlie is so handsome and smart...Gosh, he looks so much like my last Golaith...Golaith was my first Chihuahua that I ever owned...He has been gone for a long time now...but I still miss him so much ...He startes me to raise chihuahuas....and ih what fun that was....My last little chihuahua was Miranda...She was all of 2 lbs....and the love of my life...Golaith was her daddy...I miss my chihuahuas...But I now have a Yorkshire terrier named Hadessa (Desi) for short...and now the love of life ...Thank you for sharing your life and Charlie with us ...I truly enjoy your content...Much love...Until next time....🥰🐾🐾🫂🐾🐾🥰
Aw, your babies all have the best names! And it's just so true that we never ever forget them when they're gone. They all have such different and unique little personalities : )❤❤❤
I feel like if we were neighbors, we'd be such good friends haha! I agree with the woodstove saga... a warm fire is so wonderful, but, it's hard work! Always enjoy whatever you share - thank you. Have a wonderful weekend!
I share your gratitude that a month after solstice the days are noticeably longer. The polar vortex made January seem 2 months long already. That Charlie is an athlete for sure!
I've been on hibernation mode too Kate these past few months. Today in GA, its unseasonably warm at 72 degrees, hot, muggy, humid, stormy, it's very tornado soup-ish. Keeping our eyes peeled to the skies. Last week it was like 20 degrees with windchillof 10 degree. Unreal wacky weather. I've enjoyed the days getting ever so slightly brighter at 5pm. Charlie did great with his hoops😁💕
Yes that wee stretch in the day is a major help. It's been a long winter with everything thrown at us. I thought the roof was going to take flight during storm Isha. Blessings from Ireland ❤
So much fun to see Charlie enjoying learning new tricks. He obviously loves to work and to learn and he’s such a quick learner. Enjoyed watching you thrift and find the beautiful new Free People sweater. Your trip to the greenhouse has inspired me to want to go as well. Are used to have a large number of houseplants, and now I have none. Seeing all the varieties in the greenhouse has made me want to go and explore. I’m particularly interested in researching the care of staghorn ferns and perhaps getting a few. I’ve always been fascinated by their shape. Ferns are my favorite plants and for outdoors hostas rule in my garden. Thank you again for a brief picture into your life. You bring great joy to so many of us. Be well..
I hope you find some beautiful ferns!! I just love them, too ... but always kill them when they're indoors. But they're my favorite thing to spot in the woods. Hope you find a little greenhouse retreat to visit sometime soon : )❤❤❤
Charlie is so adorable. It shows how much you love him. I am looking to adopt a dog but all the ones I found they are big. I want a little guy....stay warm...MUCH LOVE....MINDY
Dear Kate and Charlie.. This was really enjoyable. Can't believe you find Free People items in your thrift shop, and that sweater is gorgeous. So was the outfit you wore to the nursery. Great job Charlie with your training 🐾💜 I'm a desert dweller and cactus here are abundant. Just don't over water her ! Stay warm and as always I send love and blessings 🌵💜🌵
Wintering! Thank you, Kate for another warm reminder that this is the season of slow, nurturing, creative time. The still shot of Charlie, on the sofa in winters light, is really beautiful. I love the art you are creating from that nourishing sweet potato meal to the vibrant painting. This was such a great reminder to tend to our seeds. You released this vlog on the full moon. I'm inspired by you to do some creative caretaking and maybe let go a howl or two at the wild wolf moon! Winter's peace and prosperity to you and Charlie!
I love watching you and Charlie. I lost my chihuahua, Jacob, last year. He was 14 and he lived an amazing life. The two of you fill my heart with such joy, ❤ Thank you for sharing your beautiful relationship. He is becoming quite the showman☺️ I look forward to your next post.
Aw, little Jacob. What a sweet name for a chi. I'm sure you have so many beautiful memories of your time with him. They're just the best little dogs!❤❤❤
Charlie is a smart little boy! We are building a tiny cottage for our retirement. Our main source of heat will be a wood stove, but we’ll have a small propane furnace for backup.
Awe, it wasn't long before I was cheering for Charlie jumping through the hoop. I caught myself all caught up in it as if I was there, lol. Yay for Charlie!!!♥️
Hello kindred spirits (both you, and Charley). I look forward to every new video and it never disappoints. The imagery always speaks to my soul. I'm a highly sensitive person who loves solitude, and nature ... And the timbre of your voice is perfect for the story telling. Plus, who wouldn't love seeing little Charley make friends with the training hoops?! It is so important to have a pet you bond with - both your lives are enriched. I look forward to seeing the progress by Spring. Meanwhile, there is Beauty in winter ... and books to read wrapped up in a blanket on the couch with Charley on long quiet nights .... Be well, and stay warm!
I enjoyed the visit.....your precious dog, sweater shopping with twinkle lights, and the new little plant. And what a cool orange dress! But the snow and cold weather has turned me off for now with the many problems here in Memphis. TN where I live. Our water lines broke under ground causing low water pressure, many without water, and all having to boil water for three minutes to drink and wash dishes for almost a week. And we could not wash clothes or take a bath. Then, there was too much use of power so we could not cook or use major appliances. Wow! Wish I had a log burner or a working fireplace. I guess many had the same weather related problems. So glad it is over for this round. Still winter is sure to bring more extremes. For a week now it has been warm with rain, rain, rain, with dark skies. Good to see you and looking forward to next time with hopes of high hoop jumps!! Big grin!!
🤍❄️🤍 I’m so loving our winter as well , I live in northwestern Nevada and we do get lots of special surprises with our weather ❄️ thank you for your sweet videos they always always touch my heart 🤍
I live in a small (50 square metre) very old(200 yrs old) stone house, i bought 8yrs ago here in the mountains in central Europe with no central heating, thank God, as i hate it, with only a wood stove, my trusty Ms Goldie😂. I love it and actually it's healthier as we need to be uncomfortable, especially regarding heat, plus it's better to sleep in a cool room, just check the sleep podcast...when it gets into -7 Celsius, i sleep in front of the wood stove with a mountain of blanket, hot water bottle and my two cats😊. Every time i visit a friend who has a central heating, i feel suffocated. Not only no central heating but i don't have a car or electricity, not even solar panels, just this old mobile phone with a limited access to internet..i charge it at a friend's house...😂❤❤
I love that you treated yourself to a new plant. Bringing a new living thing into the home in the winter is good for the soul. Loved Charlie's new tricks! Thank you
Charlie, you’re so smart and doing great with your tricks❤. I have a six pound affenpinscher who is also very smart and loves being challenged with tricks and treats. Love your thrifting trips! Hello from upstate New York 👋
Hi, just wanted to drop a comment and let you know the hubby and I just came back from spending the day at Smith College Botanical Gardens. We go to different green houses and indoor gardens throughout the winter. Magic Wings is one of the other winter escapes we enjoy. We are so thankful for such places that help us get through the bleak season. Also, we visited Goodwill yesterday and I found some great deals on some cozy never worn brand name sweaters! We are on the other side of the Hudson in the Northwest hills /Berkshires on the Mass border. Love chillin with you and Charlie! Hugs to you both! CaT 🌺🌻🌼🌷🏵🌸
Ah, you're in such a lovely area!!!! I just love it over there!!!! I'll have to look up the gardens you mentioned ... I'm always looking for winter day trips!!!!!!!!!! Hope you're having a lovely week!❤❤❤
I believe your little Charlie is a natural! Keep challenging him. Now, since turn about is fair play, I think Charlie should lead you through some adult hulahoops for some chocolate LOL. I'm expecting a video of this , you know! How wonderful you scored at the thrift shop. Nothing makes you feel better than that. Girrrrl, I got 4 beautiful tops (one very peasant-like) at our local Community Aid store today for just under $20. I am so happy with my purchase and so glad I took your advice. Just like you said, there were a LOT of new tops mixed in amongst the used ones. Thank you for sharing that little waterfall...it was wonderful!
I'm 65 and love ur channel I have always been a country girl. 7 years ago I lived in a old home 100 years old as my now home is. The town had 300 people I. It which was just fine for me. I lived in the heart of the town which I loved. We had a thrift store and I always went in shopping. I think if u do more thrift store and how to decorate. Boho is so in rite now. Or wait a minute has it ever been out. Love ur videos. Kay
It’s so much fun to visit with you two, but it’s over so fast!😊 Charlie is doing so great at hoops, wow. Those lights were def calling you. Stay warm guys!
As the owner of a wood stove I understand totally! I used a propane heater this year and life has been so much easier. But I'm still gonna have that wood stove going for *ambiance* lol Jane says "Hi Charlie"
What a delightful person you are ❤. I love your channel.. you are delightful and so authentic. Such a beautiful young lady. I am 76 and live in Helena Mt. The winter is my least favorite but we do get lots of sun with the so cold temps.
Thank you for such kind words❤❤❤ I'm glad you've got lots of sunshine ... but I know that prolonged cold can be a challenge too. Spring will feel good this year: )❤❤❤
Hi Lady! Your videos always make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. It leaves my heart smiling and full. Of course, Charlie always contributes! Sending you both love and blessings!
I have been enjoying watching your life in the cottage with the adorable Charlie boy. That’s the same name as my little man who is almost 16. You seem so talented and resilient. Best wishes from Australia 😊
That plate you picked up in the thrift store was what I had in the 70's! What a blast from the past! I bought 3 sets at the time as we had a lot of family & friends. I love your painting. Your passion for fabric & clothes patterns shines through it. Charlie's very smart and you're a great trainer! Have fun!
Hi Kate & Charlie. Having a dog as your companion just so fulfilling. I love the way Charlie adores you and wants to just make you happy. He is so smart and quick! I would be lost without my lil female shih Tzu, Monet! She is so eager to please me and sleeps by my side every night I call her my lil shadow cause she is always close by. I am so glad you and Charlie have that special baby and trust. The scenery there is just so beautiful. I especially enjoy the streams with the water rolling over the rocks. So peaceful. I hope you have a great week. Vivian & Monet 🐶🐾 from Texas.
Hi kate your little boy is such a charming boy to watch, l love watching you 2 it makes my day an , Your channel is so inspiring so happy to see 👀 you put up a new video, thank you always, Enjoy your week 😊 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a delightful episode Kate. Charlie was the 🌟 in this one. It was nice to see that you do not peel yams for roasting. The skin is perfectly edible and earthy, much like a russet potato skin is. Your cottage home is so cozy. Those hanging orange slices still look pretty. They last a long time. It's great that the days are getting longer but now all my outdoor light timers need adjusting. Always something... ❤
Thank you for another wonderful video. You have such a beautiful, sweet smile:) I have a little chi mix who also loves her hoops. Charlie is a smart little guy. He has the sweetest face too. You will do fine with the cactus. Just let it dry out really, really well and provide lots of good light. I learned after losing a few from overwatering. (I used to water them when watering my other plants, thinking my cactus was dry enough, but that does't work! Let it get bone dry and then still don't water. Then after a few days of that, you can water:)
This video inspired me to take off my uncomfortable jean shorts (as I have gained some weight since last summer) and put on a colorful and roomy dress I picked up from the thrift store last week. We should feel beautiful and comfortable at any age and any size.
I love your channel, you & charlie so much! I am so proud of him. He is the sweetest lil fella! My chiweenie has those same 'watery' beautiful brown eyes. Love it!
When Charlie makes your heart so happy….You are also making his little heart happy too…He loves to hang out with his Mommy….Hope you 2 have a lovely weekend that is soon upon us💕🐾💕
What a great video. This was nice to see after an extra challenging workday. Charlie continues to be the best, most adorable boy! How great would it be to have someone say to you, "good girl", whenever you did something? Haha, I'd love it! It's good to feel accomplished, even with the simple things.
Charlie’s progress is amazing! What fun for him and you and us! I hear you about the wood-burning stove. I lived for four years with that as my only heat source. Though I used to just joke that chopping wood heated me up as well. It’s good to be able to build a fire, but I admit the mess of ashes was challenging. There are a lot of wonderful, wood-burning fire boxes out there though, so if I had my ideal home, it would be solar powered with a little airtight fireplace as well. I feel like I am happier when I get to stare into a fire.
Great job Charlie you and mom are doing just great. Love your greenery, I have plants all over the place. Your wardrobe is beautiful, see you next time.
Oh my god Charlie is so smart ❤ Zoey could never do that! I cannot even get her to walk on a leash. It so funny how much a little plant can raise your spirits in the winter time especially. 🌵Thank you for sharing time with us Kate, it always lifts my spirits ❤
Dogs are so funny ... Charlie will jump through hoops, but trying to get him to take walks in town has been a 2 year effort ... and we've barely gotten anywhere!!!! They're each so different!! But I'm learning that's part of the fun : ) Hope you and Zoey are having a great week!❤❤❤
Charlie is smart!! He is gonna get fat😅 if he eats a treat everytime...just kidding.I hear you about lazy winters.So beautiful up there,but grey is a sad afterwhile..💒Oh boy thrifting..
Looking for inspiration I found you. I started from the beginning of your story. You are such an inspiration with all your green plants, boho dresses and the boho cottage. I love boho dresses and Free People are one of my favourite brands. Since I am living in Norway I can not order the catalogue from them. Looking forward to see more from you and Charlie 💕Wish you both beautiful days. Best wishes from Marianne
What a delight as always to watch. I kept your video for a relaxing cup of tea. Very much needed after a weird nothing went right day, but still interesting. The heating thing. My goodness yes. I have bought myself a mini medieval 'manor' (read tiny house) and it has no heating. Luckily though it does have thick walls. The very real advantage of medieval. They retain the heat of even a tiny portable radiator amazingly!
It has been a particularly gray winter where I'm at as well, it's been a struggle and I always appreciate when something genuinely makes me smile and warms my heart. Watching your little Charlie do his tricks and learn to jump through hoops really warmed my heart and made me smile, so thank-you for sharing!
What a cozy, relaxing video. I love your winter cottage and that sweater was such a find. I love the pink and black dress you had on. How beautiful. And as for Mr. Charlie... I am so proud of you little one. Talk about a quick learner! Have a lovely evening. Blessings - Judith 🎤🎭
I love all your videos but this one was especially adorable 🥰 It brought back memories of my daughter training our yellow lab, Ben. My dad and daughter made a whole set up with pvc pipe. Treats ready and the training began. Ben did great because he also loved food lol. But sometimes he decided not to go through the hoop but simply around it. Just because he was a clown. Charlie is so special 😀 Cheers , Janina
Thank you for your lovely videos. You are so inspiring. I love all the things you love and you help me to accept myself . I find you give motivation to do therapeutic, calming activities and embrace the beauty around you. Bless you.
Very lovely video as always. I live in a very ugly place in Texas so I really appreciate seeing places with something different to see. It may seem dismal to you, but we have few trees and nothing but oilfield yuckiness here.
I love the relationship you have with Charlie. He’s such a cutie and loves you so much
Thank you : ) I love that little guy!!!!❤❤❤
Please don't ever stop making videos! Your soul is beautiful! Your videos always make me feel so at peace.
Charlie is so intelligent. His response to your voice is amazing. He is such a great little companion....
He is such a good buddy : ) ❤❤❤
Charlie...a wise little soul. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kate, you not only have found peace here on earth, but within as well!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I loved the picture you were painting!! It was so colorful and I loved all the tiny flowers! Charlie is such a smart little boy. He’s just so cute!!🤗
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Charlie is so handsome and smart...Gosh, he looks so much like my last Golaith...Golaith was my first Chihuahua that I ever owned...He has been gone for a long time now...but I still miss him so much ...He startes me to raise chihuahuas....and ih what fun that was....My last little chihuahua was Miranda...She was all of 2 lbs....and the love of my life...Golaith was her daddy...I miss my chihuahuas...But I now have a Yorkshire terrier named Hadessa (Desi) for short...and now the love of life ...Thank you for sharing your life and Charlie with us ...I truly enjoy your content...Much love...Until next time....🥰🐾🐾🫂🐾🐾🥰
Aw, your babies all have the best names! And it's just so true that we never ever forget them when they're gone. They all have such different and unique little personalities : )❤❤❤
Good boy Charlie xo
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I enjoyed watching Charlie
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had a woodstove for 30 years. I miss it so much. But it wasnt my primary heat source. People forget how much work a wood stove requires.
I really had no idea how much work it was until I tried! But as they say, live and learn : ) have a lovely week!❤❤❤
A little tip about cactus. Don’t water in winter and plenty of drainage. If you repot use only cactus soil. 🌵
I've always cheaped out and not bought cactus soil. So thank you for that tip ... I need to try it!❤❤❤
I feel like if we were neighbors, we'd be such good friends haha! I agree with the woodstove saga... a warm fire is so wonderful, but, it's hard work! Always enjoy whatever you share - thank you. Have a wonderful weekend!
Aw, I'm sure we would be! And maybe we could hire someone to light our fires and keep them running!!!!!❤❤❤
😂
I share your gratitude that a month after solstice the days are noticeably longer. The polar vortex made January seem 2 months long already. That Charlie is an athlete for sure!
Hooooooray for longer days!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Your little Charlie is adorable. Look how well trained he is! Adorable, home as well. ❤
Thank you!!!!❤❤❤
I've been on hibernation mode too Kate these past few months. Today in GA, its unseasonably warm at 72 degrees, hot, muggy, humid, stormy, it's very tornado soup-ish. Keeping our eyes peeled to the skies. Last week it was like 20 degrees with windchillof 10 degree. Unreal wacky weather. I've enjoyed the days getting ever so slightly brighter at 5pm. Charlie did great with his hoops😁💕
@Anye76 I'm watching from St Marys, GA.
@@maureenabray7660 hey there fellow 🍑you're way south GA practically to Florida. I'm just under an hour south of Atlanta 😀
Yes that wee stretch in the day is a major help. It's been a long winter with everything thrown at us. I thought the roof was going to take flight during storm Isha. Blessings from Ireland ❤
Oh wow ... what a crazy shift in the weather!!!! Stay warm! Or cool, lol ... depending!! ❤❤❤
So much fun to see Charlie enjoying learning new tricks. He obviously loves to work and to learn and he’s such a quick learner.

You made me want to go to a greenhouse on this wet and cold day! 🪴 💚
I hope you get to a greenhouse soon : ) ❤❤❤
Charlie is so adorable. It shows how much you love him. I am looking to adopt a dog but all the ones I found they are big. I want a little guy....stay warm...MUCH LOVE....MINDY

Ugh, I always overwater! I'm going to try and succeed this time : ) Hope you're having a wonderful week!!!❤❤❤
Magnifique! Je ne rate aucune de vos vidéos car je les adore, elles m'apportent la paix. Bisous de France Kate
Aw, merci beaucoup!!!!!!!!! Bisous!!!!!!!❤❤❤
God Bless You & Charlie❤ 🐾
You bring so much joy to me!! And I will be forever grateful for your company💕
Great video! Thank you for sharing all this joy and peace. Hugs!
Thank you for being here!❤❤❤
❤ little Charlie! He is such a smart doggie.
He'll do anything for a treat : ) ❤❤❤
Kate, i love your channel. We are kindred spirits 🌻
❤❤❤❤❤
Wintering! Thank you, Kate for another warm reminder that this is the season of slow, nurturing, creative time. The still shot of Charlie, on the sofa in winters light, is really beautiful. I love the art you are creating from that nourishing sweet potato meal to the vibrant painting. This was such a great reminder to tend to our seeds. You released this vlog on the full moon. I'm inspired by you to do some creative caretaking and maybe let go a howl or two at the wild wolf moon! Winter's peace and prosperity to you and Charlie!
Well said!
Yes ... time for us to be slow, nurturing, and creative ... I love how you put that : ) ❤❤❤
I love watching you and Charlie. I lost my chihuahua, Jacob, last year. He was 14 and he lived an amazing life. The two of you fill my heart with such joy, ❤ Thank you for sharing your beautiful relationship. He is becoming quite the showman☺️ I look forward to your next post.
Aw, little Jacob. What a sweet name for a chi. I'm sure you have so many beautiful memories of your time with him. They're just the best little dogs!❤❤❤
Charlie is a smart little boy! We are building a tiny cottage for our retirement. Our main source of heat will be a wood stove, but we’ll have a small propane furnace for backup.
Sounds awesome to have the backup!!!!! I miss it now that I don't have it!❤❤❤
Awe, it wasn't long before I was cheering for Charlie jumping through the hoop. I caught myself all caught up in it as if I was there, lol. Yay for Charlie!!!♥️
Thanks for cheering him on!!!!❤❤❤

Kate, it must take a lit of time for you to answer all the comments. I truly think that is so nice of you to do that. So thanks!
Beautiful rocks on the water. It's raining here!!!. I like, c n u & charlie. How cute & smart he is!!!.❤❤❤

Good to have heat! Don't water your new plant...they like to be dry. Good luck with it.
Thank you! I have to remember to NOT water ... but then eventually TO water, lol! Have a lovely week!❤❤❤
I love that you treated yourself to a new plant. Bringing a new living thing into the home in the winter is good for the soul. Loved Charlie's new tricks! Thank you
Plants just make us happy!!!!!!!❤❤❤
I definitely get that calling… love the painting and Charlie of course!
You and Charlie are the perfect little family. I can't believe how quickly Charlie took to that hoop jumping. He is smart. Such a fun video!
I've learned I can get him to do anything for treats, lol!!!!!❤❤❤
Charlie, you’re so smart and doing great with your tricks❤. I have a six pound affenpinscher who is also very smart and loves being challenged with tricks and treats. Love your thrifting trips! Hello from upstate New York 👋

He's a great lover of treats : ) : ) ❤❤❤
My husband and I of 41 years had a spat and this really cheered me up! Thank you!!
Aw no! I hope it's a lighter week this week : )❤❤❤
That plate you picked up in the thrift store was what I had in the 70's! What a blast from the past! I bought 3 sets at the time as we had a lot of family & friends. I love your painting. Your passion for fabric & clothes patterns shines through it. Charlie's very smart and you're a great trainer! Have fun!
Ha! Maybe it was yours!!!!! I love that about thrift stores!❤❤❤
Awe Charlie is so smart. ❤y'all are so amazing❤
Thank you : ) ❤❤❤
Hi Kate & Charlie. Having a dog as your companion just so fulfilling. I love the way Charlie adores you and wants to just make you happy. He is so smart and quick! I would be lost without my lil female shih Tzu, Monet! She is so eager to please me and sleeps by my side every night I call her my lil shadow cause she is always close by. I am so glad you and Charlie have that special baby and trust. The scenery there is just so beautiful. I especially enjoy the streams with the water rolling over the rocks. So peaceful. I hope you have a great week. Vivian & Monet 🐶🐾 from Texas.
I'm so glad you and Monet have each other!!! It's so good having a best fur buddy : )❤❤❤
I love your cottage...it is so cozy and homey...you are living the dream really...so peaceful..you and Charlie are so cute together....best buddies..❤
Thankyou : ) Hope you're having a great week!❤❤❤
Plant therapy is healing during the winter. Orchids, anthuriums, ferns, iris's, sun patients, and bromeliads.
Yeeeeees!❤❤❤
Hi kate your little boy is such a charming boy to watch, l love watching you 2 it makes my day an , Your channel is so inspiring so happy to see 👀 you put up a new video, thank you always, Enjoy your week 😊 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!!! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos!!!!!❤❤❤
What a delightful episode Kate. Charlie was the 🌟 in this one. It was nice to see that you do not peel yams for roasting. The skin is perfectly edible and earthy, much like a russet potato skin is. Your cottage home is so cozy. Those hanging orange slices still look pretty. They last a long time. It's great that the days are getting longer but now all my outdoor light timers need adjusting. Always something... ❤
I love the skins!!!! : ) And haha, yes, it really is always something!!!! Hope you have a great week!❤❤❤
Thrift store and plant store visits keep me sane in the winter months.
Better than therapy!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you for another wonderful video. You have such a beautiful, sweet smile:) I have a little chi mix who also loves her hoops. Charlie is a smart little guy. He has the sweetest face too. You will do fine with the cactus. Just let it dry out really, really well and provide lots of good light. I learned after losing a few from overwatering. (I used to water them when watering my other plants, thinking my cactus was dry enough, but that does't work! Let it get bone dry and then still don't water. Then after a few days of that, you can water:)
Thank you! Yes, I think that's where I've always gone wrong! So I have to remember to NOT water. Have a lovely week!❤❤❤
So enjoyed this video; thank you so much for letting us see Charlie up close!!
Thank you for watching!❤❤❤
This video inspired me to take off my uncomfortable jean shorts (as I have gained some weight since last summer) and put on a colorful and roomy dress I picked up from the thrift store last week. We should feel beautiful and comfortable at any age and any size.
You are so inspiring and I love you watching you and Charlie and your little cottage 😊❤
Thankyou : ) I appreciate you being here and watching so much!❤❤❤
I love your channel, you & charlie so much! I am so proud of him. He is the sweetest lil fella! My chiweenie has those same 'watery' beautiful brown eyes. Love it!
Thank you : ) : ) : )❤❤❤
When Charlie makes your heart so happy….You are also making his little heart happy too…He loves to hang out with his Mommy….Hope you 2 have a lovely weekend that is soon upon us💕🐾💕
Treats make him happy ... he makes me happy ... lol, so we're both winning over here : ) : ) Hope you're having a wonderful week!❤❤❤
Your little dog is adorable ❤
Thank you!!!!!!!❤❤❤
What a great video. This was nice to see after an extra challenging workday. Charlie continues to be the best, most adorable boy! How great would it be to have someone say to you, "good girl", whenever you did something? Haha, I'd love it! It's good to feel accomplished, even with the simple things.
Haha, we should tell ourselves that!!!! ❤❤❤
I could use a little Charlie today. ❤
Aw, I wish he could visit! But I have to confess ... he tends to nibble people's fingers when he first meets them, lol!!!❤❤❤
Dearest Kate, thinking of you and Charlie, keep warm my friend, until next time, stay safe 🐾
You, too, my friend!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Charlie’s progress is amazing! What fun for him and you and us! I hear you about the wood-burning stove. I lived for four years with that as my only heat source. Though I used to just joke that chopping wood heated me up as well. It’s good to be able to build a fire, but I admit the mess of ashes was challenging. There are a lot of wonderful, wood-burning fire boxes out there though, so if I had my ideal home, it would be solar powered with a little airtight fireplace as well. I feel like I am happier when I get to stare into a fire.
My dear sweet grandmother grew cactus out in her yard. She planted them in an old whitewashed tire✨
Oh, fun!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Great job Charlie you and mom are doing just great. Love your greenery, I have plants all over the place. Your wardrobe is beautiful, see you next time.
Thank you!!!!! I appreciate all your kind words!!!!! Big hugs!❤❤❤
What a treat🥰💞💖🙏🫂☕🫖🥧🕯📓🖋♾warm hugs coming your way☯🌷🌱🌿🍀🐿🪶🦄
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my god Charlie is so smart ❤ Zoey could never do that! I cannot even get her to walk on a leash. It so funny how much a little plant can raise your spirits in the winter time especially. 🌵Thank you for sharing time with us Kate, it always lifts my spirits ❤
Dogs are so funny ... Charlie will jump through hoops, but trying to get him to take walks in town has been a 2 year effort ... and we've barely gotten anywhere!!!! They're each so different!! But I'm learning that's part of the fun : ) Hope you and Zoey are having a great week!❤❤❤
A Christmas Cactus would be perfect in your cottage.
Yay Charlie! Good job! 👏👏👏
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your vlogs are so peaceful. I could just imagine how fresh the air is there. You have beautiful soul. Stay wild moon child
Hope you're having a lovely week : ) ❤❤❤
Charlie is smart!! He is gonna get fat😅 if he eats a treat everytime...just kidding.I hear you about lazy winters.So beautiful up there,but grey is a sad afterwhile..💒Oh boy thrifting..
He's such a piggy! I usually train with him using little bits of carrot ... and thankfully, he loves it!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Looking for inspiration I found you. I started from the beginning of your story. You are such an inspiration with all your green plants, boho dresses and the boho cottage. I love boho dresses and Free People are one of my favourite brands. Since I am living in Norway I can not order the catalogue from them. Looking forward to see more from you and Charlie 💕Wish you both beautiful days. Best wishes from Marianne
You 2 crazy kids are the cutest!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Charlie is so cute and smart. I love your little cactus too.
Thank you for sharing... such a sweet video.
What a delight as always to watch. I kept your video for a relaxing cup of tea. Very much needed after a weird nothing went right day, but still interesting. The heating thing. My goodness yes. I have bought myself a mini medieval 'manor' (read tiny house) and it has no heating. Luckily though it does have thick walls. The very real advantage of medieval. They retain the heat of even a tiny portable radiator amazingly!
Ooh ... that's awesome! When the walls retain heat like that, it's such a help!!!!!!! Hope you're having a wonderful week!❤❤❤
He's so clever!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Charlie is adorable 🩵🩵🩵
Charlie is AMAZING❤
Thank you : ) ❤❤❤
Wow Charlie's a genius how smart ❤ beautiful video 😊
Thank you : ) : ) ❤❤❤
It has been a particularly gray winter where I'm at as well, it's been a struggle and I always appreciate when something genuinely makes me smile and warms my heart. Watching your little Charlie do his tricks and learn to jump through hoops really warmed my heart and made me smile, so thank-you for sharing!
When the gray days settle in, it can be such a struggle! We'll keep on moving forward ... sunny days will be back!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Enjoyed this film emesly. Felt rested afterwards.
@retagorman4351 I feel so peaceful watching Kate and Charlie and the beautiful little boho cottage. Boho is my favorite, too.
Aw, well, that makes me so so happy!❤❤❤
What a cozy, relaxing video. I love your winter cottage and that sweater was such a find. I love the pink and black dress you had on. How beautiful. And as for Mr. Charlie... I am so proud of you little one. Talk about a quick learner! Have a lovely evening. Blessings - Judith 🎤🎭
Thank you, Judith! Hope you're having the loveliest of weeks!❤❤❤
I love all your videos but this one was especially adorable 🥰 It brought back memories of my daughter training our yellow lab, Ben. My dad and daughter made a whole set up with pvc pipe. Treats ready and the training began. Ben did great because he also loved food lol. But sometimes he decided not to go through the hoop but simply around it. Just because he was a clown. Charlie is so special 😀 Cheers , Janina
Aw, those are such sweet memories! Labs are so stinking smart ... I can imagine training them to be really rewarding : )Sending hugs!❤❤❤
Thank you for your lovely videos. You are so inspiring. I love all the things you love and you help me to accept myself . I find you give motivation to do therapeutic, calming activities and embrace the beauty around you. Bless you.
Thankyou so much for being here and watching : ) Hope you're having a lovely week!❤❤❤
Your videos are so joyful, thank you!
Thank you!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Very lovely video as always. I live in a very ugly place in Texas so I really appreciate seeing places with something different to see. It may seem dismal to you, but we have few trees and nothing but oilfield yuckiness here.
I've never been to Texas except for an airport layover! One day : )Hope you're having a wonderful week!!!!!❤❤❤
You two are just so cute together.
Charlie is absolutely adorable and so smart! Love this video.
Thank you : ) ❤❤❤
OMG, I just adore Charlie! You two are a perfect match!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
