As a 58 year old grandma/ cancer survivor I finally understand that happiness and sadness...that ebb and flow, is absolutely normal and experienced by every person. We can never eliminate sadness, nor should we chase after joy. All we can do is accept them both with grace. And when we have a smile, be grateful for it. :-)
If you think about what it would really feel like to be a chihuahua, of course they’re anxious! They are in constant jeopardy of being stepped on! If they just sat and relaxed like a Labrador, they would almost certainly be injured. They have to be constantly wary. That’s why they like to be held. He feels safe with you and in the cottage, where he knows what to expect. He is just 100% precious.
I hope all is well at the Little Boho Cottage! Haven't seen a video from you for a couple of weeks and I'm a little worried. Looking forward to breathing a sigh of relief when your new video comes out! Thinking of you with positive thoughts!
You cannot chase joy. Joy is within. It is up to us to find it in a friend , in a flower, in a pet, in a good meal, in a hug, in a kind word. We must realize now... today... that we are enough ... and we have enough! Live this moment, this time , exactly where you are. The rest will come according to the universe. Life is ups and down, hills and valleys , joys and sorrows. If you are alive... you have experienced all of these at one time or another. You can't fight Mother Nature, and you can't fight Father Time. Just breathe.
Love your hourly gratitude. I wake every morning thanking the Lord Jesus for dying for my sins daily. He is the answer and the comfort and peace in this difficult world. Nature is beautiful, everything God made is beautiful! 🙏🏻
We moved to my hometown and brought our 2 adopted black cats with us. After living here for a few years, we found 2 abandoned kittens living under our gazebo and eating bugs to survive. I managed to "trap" them in the gazebo and we went and got replacement mothers milk and a super large tote and kitten food etc. to keep them safe and kept them in our gazebo for a couple of days until we could arrange a place to keep them in our home. When we found out they would likely be separated by adoption, we opted to give them a home with us. Once we did all of the preliminary separation etc., we brought them into the house from the enclosed add on. BTW, the gazebo was also enclosed so they were very safe there. Anyhow, one of our black cats did not appreciate either of the kittens and was a problem cat for months, no matter what we did. Finally, time and growth of the kittens changed things a bit and there was slightly less aggression of the black cat towards the now bigger kittens. They still have their moments, because out little black cat has no concept of size, and both of the kittens are almost twice her size, and she is still the aggressor at times. Charlie may just have a different disposition and his personality matches because of his DNA being what it is. They aren't always trainable and why do we think we have to mold them into something that may seem unnatural to them? I love Charlie and as you said, his little quirks. It's who he is and as long as you are there to interfere should things get out of control or to reassure if he is afraid, that's what's most important. I have a tendency to shanghai peoples comment sections. I apologize. I just didn't want you to stress over this and Charlie is learning so many tricks he may want to run away and join the circus.
Hahaha ... he would be great in the circus : ) I can picture him with an elephant!!! And thank you for sharing your kitty story! It's so true ... sometimes we have to let them be who they are : ) I'm glad your fur babies have come to get along now (mostly) : ) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
I'm most grateful today for tuning in to you! I have been busy around my little tiny house getting ready for MY NEW BABY! She's a 7 yr. old rescue cat from the Humane Society, and she will be all mine in 3 days. So I've shopped for her & cat proofed my home as much as I can for her to feel free & easy for her to inspect all areas of this small home. To say I am grateful for meeting her & the love she is going to get from me, is over the moon right now!! Thank you so much for being YOU, as always, I so enjoy watching you & Charlie on your adventures. See you soon & be well. Cheryl
Awwwwwww.... congratulations on your new fur baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure she's going to love her new home and mama!!!!❤❤❤
I have 3 cats. One was given to me and the other two just showed up and asked for a home. Who can say "No"? I didn't want 3 cats but now that I have them, I wouldn't change a thing. I just love them so much.
You should had got a little dog, they are so much more loving, Cats are sneaky, jump on your kitchen Cabinets, climb Curtains, everyone i know that have cats say they do get into things , I love all animals, but I love Little toy poodles they are so Loving, I have had 5 , and are worth all the money they cost me, good luck with the cat, 🐈
Please don’t criticize cats for their playfulness. Just love them and appreciate them as they are. Cats are so wonderful, as are all animals. There isn’t a single creature that I would ever complain about for just being themselves. Their happiness is far more important to me than curtains or furniture!

Hi Kate. I've been enjoying your channel very much. I'm 70 now, going on to 71, if God allows. I have had anxiety all my life and my daughter suffers with it too. My son has some mental illness also. I think life is hard work and can really put us on the edge at times. I think surrounding yourself with nature and things you love is the best thing for you. Yes I do go up and down all the time, but I take off to the thrift shop to see if I can find something for home, to make me happy. I live in a over 50s village, but now I have decided to make a change and go to my daughters apartment which she is renting to a guy at the moment. It's next to a beach. I will have to sell my home here first. But even though I am 70 I've decided I'm going to get a change of scenery and enjoy renewing myself once more. Can't wait to get started. Life is wonderful but also it's very scary, I know, but remember it's only you who can make you happy. Just keep enjoying the ride my love and you will be happy. Don't worry about everything because it takes you away from all the nice things in life. God bless. Xx
It's true ... though I have to say he's the most anxious chi I've ever had!! But I'll keep working with him because he's my baby : ) Hope you have a great weekend! ❤❤❤
Chihuahuas are standoffs bread, they are leary of strangers. I've got 2, and they really don't want any part of strangers..they are attached to us, like your pup..gwen
Finally getting a full weekend of sun❤ here in western Washington!! Heading up to spend Saturday with my daughter(Snohomish to Sedro Wooly)..I take the back road all the way..its only about 1 1/2 hour drive. The road winds through woods..farms..several beautiful lakes. I call this drive therapy. I laugh..sing and cry(also talk to myself) I'm a verbal processor 😊 my Cheweenie is a nervous dog. Don't know what I would do without her. ❤
I have a paralyzed Jackrussell mix, Snoopy on wheels on fb....he is so anxious... he had a very uncertain life before I rescued him from a shelter... he has a wheelchair he loves to use outside, on sidewalks and such, but when we go in a store he is terrified..he used to enjoy his stroller,but now I think cushing disease has heightened the stress in his body, a shoulder sling is really where he wants to be close to me...but he about 14 pounds and its not comfortable for me... and I have fragile arteries from FMD and can't put alot of strain on my neck, if he was small like Charlie I would carry him all the time haha.. Snoopy is a old guy and I just go with the flow when it comes to him, ...Im transforming my bedroom /craftroom to boho..thanks for the inspiration...Your place is great...
Girl you are reading my mind. Happiness is now, even when we are sick, grieving, lonely...whatever. we just have to lean into the little moments and you are so good at reminding us all of just that. THANK YOU ❤
Every time Charlie's little face comes into the camera my whole face lights up!! I have been sick most of the winter. I am desperate for warm sunny spring days to be out on the dirt. ❤
In my neck of the woods, the dogwood trees and the Bradford pear trees are in glorious bloom yesterday it was an amazing 75° and 100% sunny! I am also grateful for my healthy body at 67 years of age…😊
I have 8 chihuahuas and breed and show. Charlie is just fine. The breed likes their own pack and their own territory, that dog trainer does not know the breed. You don't buy a plough horse and expect it to be a racehorse. Honestly, he is a little gem. Having another Chihuahua might bring him out a little more but like us they are different. He is adorable and if he is happier away from town why make him miserable? I have a stunning girl here who i bought to show, she hated it. I took her to training and although interested she wouldn't show. Now she stays home and is happy. That is the main thing. 😊
Thank you : ) I appreciate all that insight! I actually think he would be a fabulous little agility competitor ... except that he would be terrified of the arena and the strangers there, lol. He gets so terrified in new experiences that he can't calm down enough to do regular things like sniff and find a place to go pee even if he has to go pee. And he freaks out and bites when he's overwhelmed. He'll even bite me. So, I just hope to help him calm down enough to not be so stressed. He's my first chi to be this way ... so I just want to learn the best way to make him happy. One day if I can afford a second, I think he'll love a little friend. He'd love to be the boss of someone ; ) Hope you and the pack have a lovely weekend!!!!!!!❤❤❤
I live in Albany, Oregon. We have had beautiful Spring type weather which has prompted me to think about what I hope for the summer. I ordered a new dress, got my new sandals, so I am off to a good start for me. However, Winter weather is returning for a last shout out starting Wednesday, so it will be back to warmer clothing and eating soup (we love soup when it's cold) for a few more weeks at least. Sending you healing prayers and Hugs...BTW, you are an inspiration.
I just loved what your mom said about Charlie being a teeny tiny little guy with big feelings. Also, If you have pets you get this - that dogs and cats are people in little fuzzy suits! Full of love and their own quirks and personalities, just like us. Have a lovely weekend. Blessings - Judith 🎤🎭
I cannot remember how I found your channel but am so very grateful that I did. You have a beautiful soul and the world needs more people like you. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Chihuahuas are a totally different breed, & sounds like you may have had one that was more social, thats unusual, they are scared, & Charlie sounds like a typical chihuahua, so enjoy, plus smart. I love what you said in the very beginning, can we ever be happy? Key is take today & be happy! It's a mind~set, you are on the right path!❤
My last little one thought she was a golden retriever! And the ones I had growing up also were fearless. But Charlie is teaching me patience as I just want to make sure he's happy : ) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!!!❤❤❤
I am grateful for your videos. Charlie's little wiggle walk...the cutest! A few things on my Spring bucket list: make a wildflower bed, make 2 new garden gates from branches I've been "hoarding", paint my chicken barn, paint my house and trim, get serious again about my soap business, get back on my exercise routine...Thank you for the inspiration.
I agree with 'the trap' many of us have fallen into...times are very challenging right now...I had to pray for a revelation to get me out of my rut and ended up on a whim inviting a friend to go visit my sister in another province, 2000 miles away for a month! Love your grandparents lamp - very pretty...perfect for reading...Loved your scenes by the water...the wind makes me feel alive...Charlie is a sweetheart and doing really well with his agility training..you two make a great team...sending you strength to get through the physical challenges you are facing...hugggs and God Bless from Canada's west coast!🥰
Dear Kate and little Charlie, it's always a more mindful day for me when I watch your videos. Your words cause me to take a step back and appreciate everything in my life. I certainly agree about the' traps ' surrounding us, but listening to you and others with the same mindset draws me back to my own reality. You certainly are wise for your years and from the comments you'll see all of us love you for it 💚🐾💚. P.S. love that lamp !
I've been making your banana bread but instead of oil I have been using unsweetened applesauce. My family has really been enjoying it!! Kisses to Charilie
Oh I loved the shot of Charlie looking out the window! And you doing your “grateful list” every hour. 💐 I am grateful for you and your sharing of videos. I’m in hot overcrowded Florida, and you have such lovely views.
Your videos always seem to show up at the most perfect times for me! My current house is SOOOO not perfect for me. It's very noisy here, and I feel compelled to escape all the time. Just this morning I was trying to remember all the things I'm grateful for....so I didn't start screaming LOL. I've had ongoing health challenges, too, so I completely understand your frustration. You just want to get on with your life! Not sure if this would help you, but my sister started taking B12, and it has greatly diminished her anxiety! You know, when you think about how tiny Charlie is, is it any wonder he gets so scared??? I mean, the entire world is HUGE to him. Maybe you should let him look at himself in a magnifying mirror, so he thinks he's bigger. Teehee. I saw a butterfly today! Yes.....a BUTTERFLY! I was so excited! I bet it was a Morning Cloak, the ones that winter underneath tree bark and then reappear in the Spring. I like your grandparents' light! I think the old hanging lights are really cool. The memories associated with it are the best part of all! 😍
Awwwww ... spotting the first butterfly of the season is the best feeling!!!!!!! It means spring has definitely sprung! yay!!!!!!! And you are so right ... the word is a huge place compared to such a tiny little doggie! I hope that you have a wonderful weekend ... and maybe even spot a few more butterflies!❤❤❤
Hi Kate, I'm so excited seeing a video up. I could watch your video's every day for hours they are so peaceful and relaxing. Loves, have a great evening 🩷
Oh …. That lamp is everything and because it was your Grandparents….it is priceless! Absolutely love it! Charlie is such a good boy … he loves training with you, being with you and he loves his friends…your Mom is right! He is a big guy in a little body!♥️
There are heaps of us out here that are so grateful for your channel. Take all our gratefuls, Kate, you may keep them and you'll never need to look for your own ever again😊
I planted about 80 iris bulbs this past Monday. On Tuesday morning I literally couldn’t get up from the toilet 😂😂😂 I’ll be grateful for the bulbs to start popping 😊😊 Just laugh ❤
I just love that beautiful lamp Kate. I am struggling currently as well. Mental health and anxiety can be so debilitating. I use my journal to help. I am wishing you so much peace and comfort my friend. I think of you often ❤ Thanks for your comforting video. Zoey is sending Charlie hugs ❤
Tiny dogs are always like this!nervous and insecure everything is so enormous around! You have to accept it or......take another dog to keep Charlie a company ❤
For your gratitude list, think of all the many parts of your body and everything they do for you day after day. Thank your toes for all they do to help you balance and walk, and work up from there. It’s fun, and appropriate, to appreciate every single part of our marvelous, miraculous bodies. PS. The lamp is gorgeous. Nothing like a good reading lamp! 👍
I'm great full for beautiful people like you and little Charlie ❤❤❤❤ I start my day with a affirmation card from one of my many decks then I meditate for a half hour I enjoy your videos very much kate I send you and Charlie much love and big hugs stay well my beautiful friend ❤❤❤❤
The light added more ambience to your home. It makes one want to curl up and relax. I understand Charlie's reluctance of going into stores since I'm a bit of an introvert as well. He loves you so much. Have a peaceful and relaxed weekend!❤
Hello lovely Boho Gal.....I so enjoy your beautiful videos and beautiful soft voice. I believe if we are honest....we are ALL on a journey to inner peace and self acceptance. There are 'bumps' along the journey but we find our way and as the storms of life...a rainbow follows. I love your sweet cottage and cozy atmosphere and especially little Charlie! Your honesty and self discovery is so inspirational. Keep going!
I found myself happy in the moment to have the leisure this snowy Friday evening to watch your beautiful video! You have done amazing work with Charlie’s agility training!
I've been so excited to find out that several of my trees made it through the winter. I thought my lemon tree, and a Rose of Sharon were dead, but they both have new leaves. Im waiting to see if my new Dogwood made it too. I love spring! I wish you get better soon.
I use to think I would be happier if only certain things would happen in my life. Like you I realized that isn’t how life works. I now find I don’t do that now but it took sometime for me to just live in the present!! Charlie looked so cute looking out the window. He’s adorable. I think small dogs are just more anxious. I had a chihuahua and now I have a yorkie and both are like Charlie. I think Charlie does pretty good actually!! His training is going so good!! Hope your health improves. I think you are an awesome young women and I always look forward to your videos!! Blessings to you and Charlie!!!🤗❤️
Your home is so cozy and the new hanging lamp fits perfectly !! I am sending you healing energy to you mind, body and soul . Hugs from Michigan !!💕 love you too, Charlie 🐾
My husband fished in the berrung sea for 25yrs, 15 of those with no contact until he was coming home, usualky 3 months gone 1 month home. The good thing is most of my girlfriends lived the same life. About 5 years in with 3 small kids, I finally decided to quit waiting for my life until he gets home. I made a life that he had to fit into when he was home. Live in the moment ❤ I love me some Charlie.❤ I have a 3lb chihuahua abd although she is fairly socialized, she shakes & is fearful almost everyday. I think its how we would feel if we lived in a world of 20ft giants.
That lamp…is incredible and I think that it fits perfectly right where it is…I love watching you and Charlie out and about….he is such a sweetheart 💕🐾💕Enjoy your weekend..C U Next time.
YES to the lamp!!! I love that! Spring is springing here in North Florida and I have the stuffy sinuses to prove it. I absolutely love your cottage. It really is beautiful. I'm seeing new leaves on the wild cherry trees here and the mimosas. The live oaks are losing their leaves right now but in a week or so, they will be bright green with new ones. I love this time of year but I really love every season, except when summer get's so hot, you can't breathe. Oh well, it will change. I hope your health challenge just goes away or at least resolves and makes you stronger. Wishing you and Charlie all the best!!!!
I LOVE your grandparents' lamp and I think it looks so wonderful lit up! There's nothing quite like a tiny, cozy cottage all softly lit and feeling homey. Today one thing I am grateful for is your video - for many reasons - but today it reminds me of how far I have come. I remember the days when I used to think "I'll be happy when I'm no longer in a corporate job in the city, and living in the country." Once I moved to the country I really DID constantly feel grateful every day I drove past the wide-open spaces, and fields, and great big sky with so much nature to savour! But yes, the secret is to choose what you have and find contentment there, while holding a vision for what you dream of. Have a wonderful week, Kate and Charlie! And thank you for all your beautiful videos.
Your gratitude challenge reminds me of a book titled "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp. What a difference that book made in my attitudes towards life!
Wow your photography at the beginning so gorgeous it made me think of how much things change and don’t change ❤ I’m jealous of your beautiful lamp and reading corner I wish I had a spare corner to do that preferably beside a window! My spring bucket list is just to get the flowers and garden planted, getting the house painted, and getting an new to me screen door installed 😊
The way you approach your relationship with Charlie is the way a good parent approaches parenting. Your kids are their own person, they weren't born to fulfill your dreams. So you have to adjust to who they are and if you do that, you can learn a whole lot of new things.
Haha. I had to smile about you treating Charlie as important as a child to you. I have two adult children but I just lost my 16 yr old papillon three months ago and he was truly my bestie. I loved him as much as any child. The agility training you are doing is something I regret not doing with my little guy and I will do it with a new dog in my future. And yes, I agree on being bougie with food! I eat a whole food plant based diet and eat very little processed food. I saw immediate health benefits and don't miss meat and diary at all.
Grateful is where its at! Mostly, i watch your videos on my tv, so i can't comment. But im sure if we were neighbors, we'd be BFF. I feel your heart in my everday. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You treat your dog so well. Your grandparent's lamp is cozy and comforting. The Scottish half of my family started off in upper NY State, then moved to Canada....many generations back.👍😎🇨🇦🐾
I always look forward to your videos. I have a little chihauhau named Monkey. He is super smart and also a little timid. Just the best little guy though. Your videos so resonate with me. Thank you so much for sharing your love and your light with us. xo
I think Charlie is a real blessing. I have a dog who is my best friend, we walk to the beach, go shopping and chill together. I count him in my things to be grateful for. Here in the UK, it's still quite col, but when the sun shines, we're out there making the most of it. Im spending my Spring painting a new collection of watercolour images. It's really exciting! Have a wonderful day! 😊
I have a picture of my grandfather, holding a big huge fish that he caught. He was my favorite person in the world so kind and generous very patient. I have that hanging in my living room❤I am 73 years old and I still have wonderful memories of my grandfather. Thank you for sharing this lamp and memories that go with it.
Your words of wisdom are a comfort to me, I think you’re an old soul, here on earth for the benefit of people like me. I hope all your issues are resolved and you’re healed soon. I love Charlie, he’s such a smart and cute doggy, I think he’s half human 😂…I love your videos and I love you like a sister I’ve never had xxx❤❤
I spent my 20’s and 30’s waiting for things to get better, chasing the happiness thing. One day I realised yes things in my life are less than perfect, I just get presented with one obstacle after another, it never ends, and I thought what if this IS as good as it’s ever going to be? What if it gets worse? Now like you I actively practice gratitude every day which helps keeps things in perspective. As for Charlie, he’s a tiny being living amongst giants! I’m not surprised sometimes he’s terrified! So am I am I’m much bigger!
I agree, we ground, and center, and decide to stay in present time. Some days I have to decide that several times a day. My snow peas are up! Blessings to you and Charlie (and your mum).
Chis are one owner dogs, they were trained as fighting dogs to jump on the opponents juglar vein in the neck ... I had one and at 5 pounds he was fierce ..lol, please stop worrying yourself , he is very happy just being with you ...try one of those thunder shirts when you take him in the public... You are a beautiful soul ...
My daughter and family are coming here in April to see the solar eclipse here in Southern Illinois. Then I go to Florida to see my other daughter so this is a good start of spring for me to see both my girls. One lives 700 miles away and one lives 1100 miles away!

I have always thought that chihuahuas are very anxious dogs, very loyal to their owner but afraid of others.
As a 58 year old grandma/ cancer survivor I finally understand that happiness and sadness...that ebb and flow, is absolutely normal and experienced by every person. We can never eliminate sadness, nor should we chase after joy. All we can do is accept them both with grace. And when we have a smile, be grateful for it. :-)
When your little Charlie popped up in the window, I called out his name and giggled. Thank you for sharing him with us; I am grateful. ❤
Aw!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
If you think about what it would really feel like to be a chihuahua, of course they’re anxious! They are in constant jeopardy of being stepped on! If they just sat and relaxed like a Labrador, they would almost certainly be injured. They have to be constantly wary. That’s why they like to be held.

Hi Little Boho Cottage. I noticed a new video hasn’t been posted in a while. I hope you are well. Sending light and love! 💕

Hahaha ... he would be great in the circus : ) I can picture him with an elephant!!! And thank you for sharing your kitty story! It's so true ... sometimes we have to let them be who they are : ) I'm glad your fur babies have come to get along now (mostly) : ) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
I'm most grateful today for tuning in to you! I have been busy around my little tiny house getting ready for MY NEW BABY! She's a 7 yr. old rescue cat from the Humane Society, and she will be all mine in 3 days. So I've shopped for her & cat proofed my home as much as I can for her to feel free & easy for her to inspect all areas of this small home. To say I am grateful for meeting her & the love she is going to get from me, is over the moon right now!! Thank you so much for being YOU, as always, I so enjoy watching you & Charlie on your adventures. See you soon & be well. Cheryl
Awwwwwww.... congratulations on your new fur baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure she's going to love her new home and mama!!!!❤❤❤

Aw, thank you for that!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Hi Kate. I've been enjoying your channel very much. I'm 70 now, going on to 71, if God allows. I have had anxiety all my life and my daughter suffers with it too. My son has some mental illness also. I think life is hard work and can really put us on the edge at times. I think surrounding yourself with nature and things you love is the best thing for you. Yes I do go up and down all the time, but I take off to the thrift shop to see if I can find something for home, to make me happy. I live in a over 50s village, but now I have decided to make a change and go to my daughters apartment which she is renting to a guy at the moment. It's next to a beach. I will have to sell my home here first. But even though I am 70 I've decided I'm going to get a change of scenery and enjoy renewing myself once more. Can't wait to get started. Life is wonderful but also it's very scary, I know, but remember it's only you who can make you happy. Just keep enjoying the ride my love and you will be happy. Don't worry about everything because it takes you away from all the nice things in life. God bless. Xx
You give good advice
I have Chihuahuas and they naturally have anxiety, it's part of them. You're doing great with him. ❤️
It's true ... though I have to say he's the most anxious chi I've ever had!! But I'll keep working with him because he's my baby : ) Hope you have a great weekend! ❤❤❤
My last dog was really anxious. She was just mirroring me. They are here to teach us lessons. Even when they cross over they keep teaching us❤.
Chihuahuas are standoffs bread, they are leary of strangers. I've got 2, and they really don't want any part of strangers..they are attached to us, like your pup..gwen
I think they're such a fun breed!!!!!! He is my first to be quite this extreme ... but we're working on it!!!!! Hope you have a great weekend!❤❤❤
Finally getting a full weekend of sun❤ here in western Washington!! Heading up to spend Saturday with my daughter(Snohomish to Sedro Wooly)..I take the back road all the way..its only about 1 1/2 hour drive. The road winds through woods..farms..several beautiful lakes. I call this drive therapy. I laugh..sing and cry(also talk to myself) I'm a verbal processor 😊 my Cheweenie is a nervous dog. Don't know what I would do without her. ❤
Happiness is what you make it. Sending my love you are a strong women
Yeees : ) Thank you. And I hope you have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
I love your little Charlie, he reminds me so much of my little Mia and sadly she crossed the rainbow bridge and seeing him makes me happy.
Aw, little Mia❤❤❤ I'm sure you have such beautiful memories ... our dogs aren't with us long enough, but we never forget them ❤❤❤
I love the lamp and the memories it contains. Those are the best possessions!
I have a paralyzed Jackrussell mix, Snoopy on wheels on fb....he is so anxious... he had a very uncertain life before I rescued him from a shelter... he has a wheelchair he loves to use outside, on sidewalks and such, but when we go in a store he is terrified..he used to enjoy his stroller,but now I think cushing disease has heightened the stress in his body, a shoulder sling is really where he wants to be close to me...but he about 14 pounds and its not comfortable for me... and I have fragile arteries from FMD and can't put alot of strain on my neck, if he was small like Charlie I would carry him all the time haha.. Snoopy is a old guy and I just go with the flow when it comes to him, ...Im transforming my bedroom /craftroom to boho..thanks for the inspiration...Your place is great...
I love love the lamp in that corner. So, cozy looking
Love the lamp. It's beautiful there.
Thank you!!!!❤❤❤
Girl you are reading my mind. Happiness is now, even when we are sick, grieving, lonely...whatever. we just have to lean into the little moments and you are so good at reminding us all of just that. THANK YOU ❤
Hope you have the happiest of weekends!!!❤❤❤
I love it. That fact that it was your grandmothers makes it special. Sending you blessings. ❤☮️🇨🇦
Every time Charlie's little face comes into the camera my whole face lights up!! I have been sick most of the winter. I am desperate for warm sunny spring days to be out on the dirt. ❤
I'm so sorry you've been unwell. I hope some warm days in the dirt will help you feel a bit better each and every single day. Sending big hugs!!❤❤❤
Me too! He is so cute
In my neck of the woods, the dogwood trees and the Bradford pear trees are in glorious bloom yesterday it was an amazing 75° and 100% sunny!
I am also grateful for my healthy body at 67 years of age…😊
oh wow!!!! I love the dogwood trees in bloom!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
I LOVE DOGWOOD ❤️
I have 8 chihuahuas and breed and show. Charlie is just fine. The breed likes their own pack and their own territory, that dog trainer does not know the breed. You don't buy a plough horse and expect it to be a racehorse.
Honestly, he is a little gem. Having another Chihuahua might bring him out a little more but like us they are different. He is adorable and if he is happier away from town why make him miserable?
I have a stunning girl here who i bought to show, she hated it. I took her to training and although interested she wouldn't show. Now she stays home and is happy.
That is the main thing. 😊
Thank you : ) I appreciate all that insight! I actually think he would be a fabulous little agility competitor ... except that he would be terrified of the arena and the strangers there, lol. He gets so terrified in new experiences that he can't calm down enough to do regular things like sniff and find a place to go pee even if he has to go pee. And he freaks out and bites when he's overwhelmed. He'll even bite me. So, I just hope to help him calm down enough to not be so stressed. He's my first chi to be this way ... so I just want to learn the best way to make him happy. One day if I can afford a second, I think he'll love a little friend. He'd love to be the boss of someone ; ) Hope you and the pack have a lovely weekend!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Absolutely loveeee your boho cottage colors & decor! That lamp is fabulously ridiculous!
Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤
I think it's ridiculously fabulous!
I live in Albany, Oregon. We have had beautiful Spring type weather which has prompted me to think about what I hope for the summer. I ordered a new dress, got my new sandals, so I am off to a good start for me. However, Winter weather is returning for a last shout out starting Wednesday, so it will be back to warmer clothing and eating soup (we love soup when it's cold) for a few more weeks at least. Sending you healing prayers and Hugs...BTW, you are an inspiration.
I just loved what your mom said about Charlie being a teeny tiny little guy with big feelings. Also, If you have pets you get this - that dogs and cats are people in little fuzzy suits! Full of love and their own quirks and personalities, just like us. Have a lovely weekend. Blessings - Judith 🎤🎭
Love your videos all the time. You are real. You are beautiful, you are creative. Keep enjoying life.
Spring goals: work on chicken tunnel, plant new beds for flowers and edibles, work on existing garden.
I'm so happy it's garden time again!!!!! Enjoy!!! ❤❤❤
I cannot remember how I found your channel but am so very grateful that I did. You have a beautiful soul and the world needs more people like you. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Amen! Yes be happy in the presence.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Chihuahuas are a totally different breed, & sounds like you may have had one that was more social, thats unusual, they are scared, & Charlie sounds like a typical chihuahua, so enjoy, plus smart.
I love what you said in the very beginning, can we ever be happy? Key is take today & be happy! It's a mind~set, you are on the right path!❤
My last little one thought she was a golden retriever! And the ones I had growing up also were fearless. But Charlie is teaching me patience as I just want to make sure he's happy : ) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!!!❤❤❤
I am grateful for your videos. Charlie's little wiggle walk...the cutest! A few things on my Spring bucket list: make a wildflower bed, make 2 new garden gates from branches I've been "hoarding", paint my chicken barn, paint my house and trim, get serious again about my soap business, get back on my exercise routine...Thank you for the inspiration.
Oh wow!!!! You've got a big and rewarding spring ahead of you!!!!!!!! That's awesome!!!!❤❤❤
What a cute little baby that cottage is beautiful
I love your style in clothes and deco
Love the lamp, I have my Grandma’s hanging crystal lamp and it will always be in my home.
Aw, I love that. It's special to have those types of things in our homes!❤❤❤
I agree with 'the trap' many of us have fallen into...times are very challenging right now...I had to pray for a revelation to get me out of my rut and ended up on a whim inviting a friend to go visit my sister in another province, 2000 miles away for a month! Love your grandparents lamp - very pretty...perfect for reading...Loved your scenes by the water...the wind makes me feel alive...Charlie is a sweetheart and doing really well with his agility training..you two make a great team...sending you strength to get through the physical challenges you are facing...hugggs and God Bless from Canada's west coast!🥰
Dear Kate and little Charlie, it's always a more mindful day for me when I watch your videos. Your words cause me to take a step back and appreciate everything in my life. I certainly agree about the' traps ' surrounding us, but listening to you and others with the same mindset draws me back to my own reality. You certainly are wise for your years and from the comments you'll see all of us love you for it 💚🐾💚. P.S. love that lamp !
aw thank you! And Im' so glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you have a wonderful, wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
I've been making your banana bread but instead of oil I have been using unsweetened applesauce. My family has really been enjoying it!! Kisses to Charilie
Oh I loved the shot of Charlie looking out the window! And you doing your “grateful list” every hour. 💐 I am grateful for you and your sharing of videos. I’m in hot overcrowded Florida, and you have such lovely views.
Thank you : ) I hope you have some cool breezes blow your way this weekend!! (But not too strong, of course!!!!) ❤❤❤
Your videos always seem to show up at the most perfect times for me! My current house is SOOOO not perfect for me. It's very noisy here, and I feel compelled to escape all the time. Just this morning I was trying to remember all the things I'm grateful for....so I didn't start screaming LOL. I've had ongoing health challenges, too, so I completely understand your frustration. You just want to get on with your life! Not sure if this would help you, but my sister started taking B12, and it has greatly diminished her anxiety! You know, when you think about how tiny Charlie is, is it any wonder he gets so scared??? I mean, the entire world is HUGE to him. Maybe you should let him look at himself in a magnifying mirror, so he thinks he's bigger. Teehee. I saw a butterfly today! Yes.....a BUTTERFLY! I was so excited! I bet it was a Morning Cloak, the ones that winter underneath tree bark and then reappear in the Spring. I like your grandparents' light! I think the old hanging lights are really cool. The memories associated with it are the best part of all! 😍
Awwwww ... spotting the first butterfly of the season is the best feeling!!!!!!! It means spring has definitely sprung! yay!!!!!!! And you are so right ... the word is a huge place compared to such a tiny little doggie! I hope that you have a wonderful weekend ... and maybe even spot a few more butterflies!❤❤❤
Hi Kate, I'm so excited seeing a video up. I could watch your video's every day for hours they are so peaceful and relaxing. Loves, have a great evening 🩷
Aw, thank you! I appreciate that!❤❤❤
Oh …. That lamp is everything and because it was your Grandparents….it is priceless! Absolutely love it! Charlie is such a good boy … he loves training with you, being with you and he loves his friends…your Mom is right! He is a big guy in a little body!♥️
Love your lamp, adds to the cosy ambience😍
Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤
There are heaps of us out here that are so grateful for your channel. Take all our gratefuls, Kate, you may keep them and you'll never need to look for your own ever again😊
I planted about 80 iris bulbs this past Monday.
On Tuesday morning I literally couldn’t get up from the toilet 😂😂😂
I’ll be grateful for the bulbs to start popping 😊😊
Just laugh ❤
I just love that beautiful lamp Kate. I am struggling currently as well. Mental health and anxiety can be so debilitating. I use my journal to help. I am wishing you so much peace and comfort my friend. I think of you often ❤ Thanks for your comforting video. Zoey is sending Charlie hugs ❤
Awwwww ... Charlie is very glad to accept her hug!! I hope you have a peaceful and lovely weekend ❤❤❤
Tiny dogs are always like this!nervous and insecure everything is so enormous around! You have to accept it or......take another dog to keep Charlie a company ❤
For your gratitude list, think of all the many parts of your body and everything they do for you day after day. Thank your toes for all they do to help you balance and walk, and work up from there. It’s fun, and appropriate, to appreciate every single part of our marvelous, miraculous bodies.
PS. The lamp is gorgeous. Nothing like a good reading lamp! 👍
I'm great full for beautiful people like you and little Charlie ❤❤❤❤ I start my day with a affirmation card from one of my many decks then I meditate for a half hour I enjoy your videos very much kate I send you and Charlie much love and big hugs stay well my beautiful friend ❤❤❤❤
The light added more ambience to your home. It makes one want to curl up and relax. I understand Charlie's reluctance of going into stores since I'm a bit of an introvert as well. He loves you so much. Have a peaceful and relaxed weekend!❤
Aw, thank you ... you, too ... have a wonderful weekend!!!! ❤❤❤
Hello lovely Boho Gal.....I so enjoy your beautiful videos and beautiful soft voice. I believe if we are honest....we are ALL on a journey to inner peace and self acceptance. There are 'bumps' along the journey but we find our way and as the storms of life...a rainbow follows. I love your sweet cottage and cozy atmosphere and especially little Charlie! Your honesty and self discovery is so inspirational. Keep going!
Happiest is a life with no expectations
I found myself happy in the moment to have the leisure this snowy Friday evening to watch your beautiful video! You have done amazing work with Charlie’s agility training!
Let him be who he is….his breed IS anxious!!! What a great little buddy you have!!!🎉❤❤
I've been so excited to find out that several of my trees made it through the winter. I thought my lemon tree, and a Rose of Sharon were dead, but they both have new leaves. Im waiting to see if my new Dogwood made it too. I love spring! I wish you get better soon.
I use to think I would be happier if only certain things would happen in my life. Like you I realized that isn’t how life works. I now find I don’t do that now but it took sometime for me to just live in the present!! Charlie looked so cute looking out the window. He’s adorable. I think small dogs are just more anxious. I had a chihuahua and now I have a yorkie and both are like Charlie. I think Charlie does pretty good actually!! His training is going so good!! Hope your health improves. I think you are an awesome young women and I always look forward to your videos!! Blessings to you and Charlie!!!🤗❤️
I immediately recognized the light as your grandparent's that was living in your mom's basement! LOVE IT!!!
Your videos are like comfort food. They fill that spot that is part of the trap I fall into.
Your home is so cozy and the new hanging lamp fits perfectly !! I am sending you healing energy to you mind, body and soul . Hugs from Michigan !!💕 love you too, Charlie 🐾
My husband fished in the berrung sea for 25yrs, 15 of those with no contact until he was coming home, usualky 3 months gone 1 month home. The good thing is most of my girlfriends lived the same life. About 5 years in with 3 small kids, I finally decided to quit waiting for my life until he gets home. I made a life that he had to fit into when he was home. Live in the moment ❤ I love me some Charlie.❤ I have a 3lb chihuahua abd although she is fairly socialized, she shakes & is fearful almost everyday. I think its how we would feel if we lived in a world of 20ft giants.
That lamp…is incredible and I think that it fits perfectly right where it is…I love watching you and Charlie out and about….he is such a sweetheart 💕🐾💕Enjoy your weekend..C U Next time.
I'm loving the gratitude timer reminders. One of mine today is thst I'm grateful for your RUclips channel Kate and Charlie! 😊❤
Aw, thank you!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
The hanging light looks so good. I hope you can see it too but remember we are free to change out mind as many times as we like 😊
Ha, yes! And that's a beautiful thing : ) Hope you have a great weekend!❤❤❤
YES to the lamp!!! I love that! Spring is springing here in North Florida and I have the stuffy sinuses to prove it. I absolutely love your cottage. It really is beautiful. I'm seeing new leaves on the wild cherry trees here and the mimosas. The live oaks are losing their leaves right now but in a week or so, they will be bright green with new ones. I love this time of year but I really love every season, except when summer get's so hot, you can't breathe. Oh well, it will change. I hope your health challenge just goes away or at least resolves and makes you stronger. Wishing you and Charlie all the best!!!!
I LOVE your grandparents' lamp and I think it looks so wonderful lit up! There's nothing quite like a tiny, cozy cottage all softly lit and feeling homey. Today one thing I am grateful for is your video - for many reasons - but today it reminds me of how far I have come. I remember the days when I used to think "I'll be happy when I'm no longer in a corporate job in the city, and living in the country." Once I moved to the country I really DID constantly feel grateful every day I drove past the wide-open spaces, and fields, and great big sky with so much nature to savour! But yes, the secret is to choose what you have and find contentment there, while holding a vision for what you dream of. Have a wonderful week, Kate and Charlie! And thank you for all your beautiful videos.
Your gratitude challenge reminds me of a book titled "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp. What a difference that book made in my attitudes towards life!
Love Charlie in the window❣️
I can't until I watched the whole video, I have to say this now, your grandparents light is PERFECT there!!! It's gorgeous 🤩
Aww little Charlie is just adorable! Little guy wih big feelings ❤ bless him and you too.He is so smart enjoying your videos.
Thank you!!!!! ❤❤❤
The hanging lamp is adorable, perfect spot. love your cottage
Wow your photography at the beginning so gorgeous it made me think of how much things change and don’t change ❤ I’m jealous of your beautiful lamp and reading corner I wish I had a spare corner to do that preferably beside a window! My spring bucket list is just to get the flowers and garden planted, getting the house painted, and getting an new to me screen door installed 😊
Thank you!!!!! And I hope you get all those things accomplished!!!! ❤❤❤
The way you approach your relationship with Charlie is the way a good parent approaches parenting. Your kids are their own person, they weren't born to fulfill your dreams. So you have to adjust to who they are and if you do that, you can learn a whole lot of new things.
You are such a beautiful, beautiful persand and I loved your little dog so precious.Thank you for sharing your life withyes❤😊
Thank you for that! I really appreciate it❤❤❤ Have a great weekend!
Haha. I had to smile about you treating Charlie as important as a child to you. I have two adult children but I just lost my 16 yr old papillon three months ago and he was truly my bestie. I loved him as much as any child. The agility training you are doing is something I regret not doing with my little guy and I will do it with a new dog in my future. And yes, I agree on being bougie with food! I eat a whole food plant based diet and eat very little processed food. I saw immediate health benefits and don't miss meat and diary at all.
Great challenge to regularly list things you’re grateful for.
I have been gardening and getting ready to plant out my seedlings. I have also been enjoying open windows and cool mornings. ❤
Kate - I have been reminded to seek joy, instead of happiness (because happiness is fleeting) -
Love your grandparents lamp. So 70s.
Love your home and dear Charlie.hope you’ll soon feel better.
Grateful is where its at! Mostly, i watch your videos on my tv, so i can't comment. But im sure if we were neighbors, we'd be BFF. I feel your heart in my everday. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh and you are inspiring me to repair my grandmother’s lamp!
You and Charlie are like a breath of fresh air!
You treat your dog so well. Your grandparent's lamp is cozy and comforting. The Scottish half of my family started off in upper NY State, then moved to Canada....many generations back.👍😎🇨🇦🐾
I always look forward to your videos. I have a little chihauhau named Monkey. He is super smart and also a little timid. Just the best little guy though. Your videos so resonate with me. Thank you so much for sharing your love and your light with us. xo
I'm so glad you enjoy them! And aw, Monkey! What a cute name for a little pup!!!!!❤❤❤
I think Charlie is a real blessing. I have a dog who is my best friend, we walk to the beach, go shopping and chill together. I count him in my things to be grateful for. Here in the UK, it's still quite col, but when the sun shines, we're out there making the most of it. Im spending my Spring painting a new collection of watercolour images. It's really exciting! Have a wonderful day! 😊
I have a picture of my grandfather, holding a big huge fish that he caught. He was my favorite person in the world so kind and generous very patient. I have that hanging in my living room❤I am 73 years old and I still have wonderful memories of my grandfather. Thank you for sharing this lamp and memories that go with it.
Your words of wisdom are a comfort to me, I think you’re an old soul, here on earth for the benefit of people like me. I hope all your issues are resolved and you’re healed soon. I love Charlie, he’s such a smart and cute doggy, I think he’s half human 😂…I love your videos and I love you like a sister I’ve never had xxx❤❤
You're such a great photographer. Blessings to you and little Charlie. Greatful yep
I’m looking forward to pulling my little washer out and doing laundry outside.
I spent my 20’s and 30’s waiting for things to get better, chasing the happiness thing. One day I realised yes things in my life are less than perfect, I just get presented with one obstacle after another, it never ends, and I thought what if this IS as good as it’s ever going to be? What if it gets worse? Now like you I actively practice gratitude every day which helps keeps things in perspective. As for Charlie, he’s a tiny being living amongst giants! I’m not surprised sometimes he’s terrified! So am I am I’m much bigger!
You look great! Always admire your smile and positivity.
Hahaha. I read that as “have a pickle in the park”.
LOL!❤❤❤
I wish all the precious dreams you have will. Come true.
I agree, we ground, and center, and decide to stay in present time. Some days I have to decide that several times a day. My snow peas are up! Blessings to you and Charlie (and your mum).
Chis are one owner dogs, they were trained as fighting dogs to jump on the opponents juglar vein in the neck ... I had one and at 5 pounds he was fierce ..lol, please stop worrying yourself , he is very happy just being with you ...try one of those thunder shirts when you take him in the public... You are a beautiful soul ...
I absolutely love the hanging lamp! It’s beautiful! As someone who meditates at least an hour every day, I love the Aura app!
My daughter and family are coming here in April to see the solar eclipse here in Southern Illinois. Then I go to Florida to see my other daughter so this is a good start of spring for me to see both my girls. One lives 700 miles away and one lives 1100 miles away!
