We all think our pets will instantly return the level of love we have for them. My Netherlands dwarf rabbits Jasmine, she ignored me for five months. I resigned myself to having a hostile pet as l knew she would not be cared for as well somewhere else. Later l realised she was a stubborn Aries gal like myself. I had taken her from her two furry friends, and primary heat source. She ruled the roost. Then l had to go away on sad business, my sister in law died and l was away for a week. When l came back she just attached herself to my chest and never left. She still would sulk, but the day she bounced onto my lap and fell asleep on my heart was one of the best days of my life ❤
Thank you so much. You always make me feel so much better. Even when you feel down, I think alright,...........it is ok to feel that way sometimes and you encourage all of us to try to feel better.
It sure IS ok to feel that way sometimes. Life can be so challenging!!!! Sending hugs ... we'll all just keep trying to find and make our little joys!❤❤❤
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: )❤❤❤
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 ❤
I was so excited to see Charlie take on jumping through a hoop. He picked that up so fast. I can't imagine what else you have planned for him. Some dogs just want to lie around like my little Rudy! Charlie has been much better bonding with you and, I think it's because you are not distracted with so much that there is not enough time for him plus, he is the only one getting all the attention, in your home. That's a really good thing. When you talked bout the days getting a bit longer, you are right. Thanks for pointing that out. It is ten minutes to five and I can see across the street! Don't these grey days go on too long? I am a cooler temperature person, living with MS but, I love the sunshine. It puts a smile on your face, it perks you right up and, you just need to get outside. I love Thrifting, since tuning in to your videos. Sometimes, I just want to go and look around, for something to do and then, I find something! What joy. I think I have more fun finding something used, that I need than investing in something new. Often, I find something made in a country that once was popular but has been replaced by so much from China. Don't get me wrong, if I am looking for something Chinese, I want it made in China! I have a spare, small bedroom, in my apartment. I don't really need it so, I have housed all my beloved house plants in there and, now, it is my green room! I want to find a second hand wing back chair to place in there so I can knit, read or, write letters while sipping on a herbal tea. Thanks for sharing this happy video.❤
Me too, that is something I could try. I find it very difficult dealing with the long cold, damp winters here in Ireland. Having a green room would help me a lot. Thank you for the idea. Blessings from Ireland ❤
Oh, you made yourself your own little greenhouse in your apartment!!!! It sounds like such a wonderful little retreat for you to enjoy!!!!!! Sending big, big hugs!❤❤❤
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 : )❤❤❤
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💕🐾💕
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.
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
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 : )❤❤❤
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!
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!!!♥️
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 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!
Oh my word ... you can see it from your front yard?!?! I would have problems, lolol! They'd definitely know my first name, lol. Hope you're having a wonderful week!❤❤❤
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 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!❤❤❤
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... ❤
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 🌵💜🌵
You found all my sweet spots today. Dogs and the joy they bring to us, cozy warm homes, going thrifting and finding that one item that made our day and wandering the nursery looking for that plant that needed to be ours. Always - your voice, photography and music are my reward. Thank you. Blossom, my labradoodle service dog and Willow, my Yorkie send congrats to Charlie.
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 😊
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:)
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!❤❤❤
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!
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!
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...😂❤❤
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.
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..
@LittleBohoCottage Kate, have you considered selling your paintings on Etsy? Your paintings are beautifully illustrated with gorgeous vibrant colors that speak from your kind heart. 🥰😇
🤍❄️🤍 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 🤍
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!
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"
My son is a nurse and I have his Labrador bull mastiff a lot while he works she’s a year and very quick to learn new tricks . I love her so much she is just the sweetest
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.
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!
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, 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 👋
Aw, congrats!!!! And yeeees! They are SO smart! The training books always warn that if you're not careful, they'll run the house! Ha, and it's true! They learn how to outsmart us : ) But I don't care, they're worth it!❤❤❤
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 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
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
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!
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 😊 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aww, Charlie is so smart. I love watching him do tricks. I understand about the "grey". I live in beautiful surroundings, mountains and snow right now but also the sky has been so cloudy-plus we are high up so have been in the clouds/fog for most of December and January. I'm ready for El Niño to be over! Glad you found some fun items on your shopping trip. The lights will look amazing in your yard!
Charlie is so cute! That Free People sweater was a good find! We had that cold snap here, as well, but today it was 60 degrees! The fog is insane...I feel like we're living in The Mist..LOL The crocheted vest you wore to the greenhouse...love it! I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one who managed to kill a cactus. Good luck with your new one! :)
Please don't ever stop making videos! Your soul is beautiful! Your videos always make me feel so at peace.
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!!!!❤❤❤
I enjoyed watching Charlie
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good boy Charlie xo
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a sweet and wholesome happy little video 😊
❤❤❤
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!❤❤❤
Kate, i love your channel. We are kindred spirits 🌻
❤❤❤❤❤
Charlie is so intelligent. His response to your voice is amazing. He is such a great little companion....
He is such a good buddy : ) ❤❤❤
We all think our pets will instantly return the level of love we have for them. My Netherlands dwarf rabbits Jasmine, she ignored me for five months.

Kate, you not only have found peace here on earth, but within as well!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much. You always make me feel so much better. Even when you feel down, I think alright,...........it is ok to feel that way sometimes and you encourage all of us to try to feel better.
It sure IS ok to feel that way sometimes. Life can be so challenging!!!! Sending hugs ... we'll all just keep trying to find and make our little joys!❤❤❤
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!!!!!!!❤❤❤
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!❤❤❤
Charlie...a wise little soul. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your little dog is adorable ❤
Thank you!!!!!!!❤❤❤
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.
@sharonmardis4920 For years I wanted to move to Helena, Mt. Never could manage it.
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: )❤❤❤
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'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.

@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!! ❤❤❤
I was so excited to see Charlie take on jumping through a hoop. He picked that up so fast. I can't imagine what else you have planned for him.
Some dogs just want to lie around like my little Rudy!

I love the idea of your plant room. It sounds wonderful, my type of room. 😊
Me too, that is something I could try. I find it very difficult dealing with the long cold, damp winters here in Ireland. Having a green room would help me a lot. Thank you for the idea. Blessings from Ireland ❤
Oh, you made yourself your own little greenhouse in your apartment!!!! It sounds like such a wonderful little retreat for you to enjoy!!!!!! Sending big, big hugs!❤❤❤
❤ little Charlie! He is such a smart doggie.
He'll do anything for a treat : ) ❤❤❤
Idk what all you were cooking up there, but DANG it looked good! 🤩
He's so clever!
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Treats make him happy ... he makes me happy ... lol, so we're both winning over here : ) : ) Hope you're having a wonderful week!❤❤❤
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!!!❤❤❤
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!❤❤❤
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
Keep looking! You'll find your perfect little one!!!!!❤❤❤

Aw, I'm sure we would be! And maybe we could hire someone to light our fires and keep them running!!!!!❤❤❤
😂
I could watch you and Charlie all day! You war, this old heart.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your little Charlie is adorable. Look how well trained he is! Adorable, home as well. ❤
Thank you!!!!❤❤❤
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!!!!❤❤❤
I definitely get that calling… love the painting and Charlie of course!
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!!!!!!!❤❤❤
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.

Hahaha ... yup, I would absolutely jump through the hoops for some chocolate!!!!!!❤❤❤
There's a Goodwill very close to us...I can see it from my front yard...and yes, you're correct, thrift stores do call to us!
Oh my word ... you can see it from your front yard?!?! I would have problems, lolol! They'd definitely know my first name, lol. Hope you're having a wonderful week!❤❤❤
Beautiful rocks on the water. It's raining here!!!. I like, c n u & charlie. How cute & smart he is!!!.❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
You looked so happy to find more garden lights. Charlie is a very quick learner! Thank you for a charming video 🌺
Thank you for being here! Hope you have a wonderful week!❤❤❤
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!!!!!❤❤❤

Yay Charlie! Good job! 👏👏👏
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing... such a sweet video.
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!❤❤❤

Hello, Annette!!!!❤❤❤
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 🌵💜🌵
Ugh, I always overwater! I'm going to try and succeed this time : ) Hope you're having a wonderful week!!!❤❤❤
Charlie is so cute, funny and smart ❤ Having an outside agility course is a great idea.😊
Thank you!!! I think he'll love it : ) Have a lovely week!❤❤❤
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 : )❤❤❤
You found all my sweet spots today. Dogs and the joy they bring to us, cozy warm homes, going thrifting and finding that one item that made our day and wandering the nursery looking for that plant that needed to be ours. Always - your voice, photography and music are my reward. Thank you. Blossom, my labradoodle service dog and Willow, my Yorkie send congrats to Charlie.
Aw, your little pack sounds lovely : ) Labradoodles are some of the smartest pups I've ever met! And Blossom is an adorable name : ) ❤❤❤
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 😊
Well, it's a good name : ) : ) Hugs to you and Charlie!❤❤❤
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!❤❤❤
Thrift store and plant store visits keep me sane in the winter months.
Better than therapy!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
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!❤❤❤
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!❤❤❤
What a marvelous video! Thank you!
Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤
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!
that makes me so happy!!!!!!!!! Have a lovely week!❤❤❤
What a delightful video! Charlie is so cute! Thank you for the lovely moment. Best wishes from France where I live. 🙏
Thank you : ) : ) Bonne semaine!!!!!❤❤❤
Awww! Good Charlie! Congratulations on your training him!!!
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 AMAZING❤
Thank you : ) ❤❤❤
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!
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...😂❤❤
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!❤❤❤
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!!!!!❤❤❤
God Bless You & Charlie❤ 🐾
You bring so much joy to me!! And I will be forever grateful for your company💕
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!❤❤❤
Your videos are so joyful, thank you!
Thank you!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Charlie IS a genius! And so is his dear sweet Mom! Love Angie.💕
He's a great lover of treats : ) : ) ❤❤❤
Awe Charlie is so smart. ❤y'all are so amazing❤
Thank you : ) ❤❤❤
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!!!!!!!❤❤❤
@LittleBohoCottage Kate, have you considered selling your paintings on Etsy? Your paintings are beautifully illustrated with gorgeous vibrant colors that speak from your kind heart. 🥰😇
I agree. I would love to buy the one she was working on in this flog. It made me smile. ❤
Thank you!!! I'm trying to get up the courage! Hopefully soon : ) ❤❤❤
🤍❄️🤍 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 🤍
Thank you for watching! Glad you're enjoying winter : ) ❤❤❤
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!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
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!❤❤❤
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"
I LOVE fire for ambiance : ) Glad you've got a propane heater this year for a little break. ❤❤❤
My son is a nurse and I have his Labrador bull mastiff a lot while he works she’s a year and very quick to learn new tricks . I love her so much she is just the sweetest
Oooh ... they're amazing dogs! ❤❤❤
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!!!! ❤❤❤
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!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Charlie did so well jumping through the hoop. Good trainer!
Thank you : ) ❤❤❤
So enjoyed this video; thank you so much for letting us see Charlie up close!!
Thank you for watching!❤❤❤
I love your dress ❤
Thank you!!!!!!❤❤❤
You 2 crazy kids are the cutest!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
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, 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 👋
Aw, he and Charlie are about the same size! ❤❤❤
My dear sweet grandmother grew cactus out in her yard. She planted them in an old whitewashed tire✨
Oh, fun!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
I just got Chihauhau puppy about 3 months ago and what struck me is how smart he is!! They really are the genius's of the dog world !!!
Aw, congrats!!!! And yeeees! They are SO smart! The training books always warn that if you're not careful, they'll run the house! Ha, and it's true! They learn how to outsmart us : ) But I don't care, they're worth it!❤❤❤
I love watching your peaceful videos
Keep little Charlie and you warm and cozy! Blessings
Thank you! : ) ❤❤❤
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 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!❤❤❤
Charlie is a smart dog.
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!!!!!!!❤❤❤
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!
Pets really do make our lives whole, don't they? : ) I'm so glad you enjoy the videos ... and I hope you have the most wonderful week!❤❤❤
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 : )❤❤❤
Dearest Kate, thinking of you and Charlie, keep warm my friend, until next time, stay safe 🐾
You, too, my friend!!!!!!!❤❤❤
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!!!!!❤❤❤
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 : ) ❤❤❤
Aww, Charlie is so smart. I love watching him do tricks. I understand about the "grey". I live in beautiful surroundings, mountains and snow right now but also the sky has been so cloudy-plus we are high up so have been in the clouds/fog for most of December and January. I'm ready for El Niño to be over! Glad you found some fun items on your shopping trip. The lights will look amazing in your yard!
Thank you!!!!!!!! cloudy, dreary days are hard when it's prolonged! Spring will feel so good for us all this year! : ) ❤❤❤
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!
Charlie is so cute! That Free People sweater was a good find! We had that cold snap here, as well, but today it was 60 degrees! The fog is insane...I feel like we're living in The Mist..LOL The crocheted vest you wore to the greenhouse...love it! I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one who managed to kill a cactus. Good luck with your new one! :)
Such crazy weather!!!!!!! I do love that fog the big temp changes create! It's so atmospheric!!! Have a great week!❤❤❤
