Happy new year!!written by Yvonne Dagger  Happy New year from Barney & Picasso 2025 As I look back on 2025, I'm both happy and sad. I'm happy and thrilled with many things that have happened in my life in 2025. I'm happy that Picasso was named Dan's Best Artist for 2025. I'm grateful to all who voted for him...your votes certainly counted! He won! Yippee!! Picasso is continuing to keep Dagger DogVinci's Legacy alive as he paints gorgeous works of art. To add to Picasso's success, he painted at Canine Companion's 50th Anniversary Gala event in June with Brittany Bell and Heather O'Rourke from Eyewitness News 7 as Co-Master's of Ceremony's. What a great event that was!! Brittany and Heather were PAWsome!! In addition, Picasso's success carried on in 2025 as he painted at several other wonderful events too numerous to mention here. I'm so proud of this little guy!! Barney continues to be a loving, caring companion. He's been a supportive muse to Picasso as they enjoy working together in our home studio. They're inseparable. Watching them makes me very happy! I'm also happy because I was able to write my third book. It's about welcoming Picasso and Barney into my life while letting Dagger go...to Heaven. It's a book about grief and dealing with the loss of a beloved pet. I think it's my best book yet! It was important for me to continue writing from real life with a little fun fiction added. Dagger will still be a part of the series. However, in a different way now...working from Heaven. My editor, Jaye Medalia and my illustrator, Penny Weber, are diligently working on my manuscript right now. I'm hopeful that by the summer of 2026 it will be released. Happiness continued in November as we were able to listen to Tommy Sullivan sing at Canine Companion's Veterans Day Salute Independence event. What fun that was while honoring Veteran's from WWII to our current heroes! The funds raised are being used to provide Service dogs for wounded veterans. Now, how great is that!! Denis and I bided on a Beach Cruiser bike and won the bid. It's an aqua blue color bike with big wheels and a basket on the front handlebars. It's really cool! There are so many other reasons that I'm happy about this year mostly because everyone in my family are physically well and feeling good. Being healthy and feeling well is paramount to me. It's something money can't buy. Ok, so now why am I sad? You may ask... I'm sad to witness our great nation struggling right now. I'm sad for the legal immigrants scared to go to work for fear of being rounded up, torn from their families and sent to a foreign country or concentration camp. Some of them only know America as their home. I'm also sad for the people who are being forced to close their businesses because of the steep tariffs imposed on their products. Many people are full of stress and anger. This, I believe, comes from the unknown and uncertainty in our lives and nation right now. So, what do I do about this? I pray a lot! Sometimes I have to take a break from tuning into the news and watch a happy movie. I also do "7 Little Words." (https://7littlewords.com/7lw) I love that. It takes my mind off off the things I can't control. As you all know, our motto has always been to create, educate and inspire. Inspiration comes from good people who try to make our world a better place to be. Mother Teresa once said that we can't do it all, but if we all do just one small thing with great kindness and love that will become enormous. "Mother Teresa's sayings emphasize love, service, small acts, and faith, highlighting that "It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving," "We cannot do great things. Only small things with great love," and "Peace begins with a smile".She taught that "Love begins by taking care of the closest ones—the ones at home"and that "The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved," stressing kindness, faithfulness, and seeing (God) Christ in the suffering."(1) I truly believe that Mother Teresa was "right on" with her life's philosophy. Her lessons are still practiced throughout the world. Now, that's a really good thing!! So, where do we go from here...as we start a New Year, Personally, I think that I would benefit from reflecting on the things that I've accomplished in my life. The GREAT things; the WONDERFUL things that have happened that make me who I am. I would then list them on a sheet of paper and reflect on each one. You'd be surprised to see that when we reflect and make a list (by either writing them down on a piece of paper or using your computer) of our accomplishments, how amazed we become at the things we've done over the year. Hey! You can even give yourself a pat on the back for being so PAWsome!! Then, I suppose, after doing this positive and uplifting task, I would think about the things I'd like to change moving forward in 2026. I'm really not one for big New Year's resolutions. Many are lofty things that are basically unattainable. Now, don't get me wrong, setting goals is a really good thing to do. However, when we set our New Year Resolutions too high they often become failures leading us to give up. If we set small reasonable goals we are apt to build on these small things and before we know it we've attained more then what we set out for. However you choose to start the New Year,
do it with a kind and loving heart. Be good and gentle with yourself. Remember to do your best and the best is yet to come!! Happy New Year!! Happy Tales to you, xoxo Yvonne

Baking for the Holidays Do you bake cookies for the holidays? I do...well sort of...I'm not the best baker, but I try! 😀 I have my favorite list of cookies that I bake during the holiday season almost every year. Each cookie has a story attached to it. 🍪 They're:
In addition to the cookies above and their history, for the past two years I've had a cookie baking and decorating party with my kids and grandkids. It was so much fun! I actually prepared the cookie dough ahead of time and rolled the dough out between parchment paper. I refrigerated the dough sheets until the kids were ready to use the cookie cutters of their choice for their cookies. Each of my kids and grand kids got a sheet of dough and had fun cutting out their own cookies. I made sure that the decorating icing was ready along with all of the sprinkles and anything edible to decorate I could find at the craft store! Of course, you can find kits with cookies already baked. The kits usually have royal icing bags and sprinkles included. I just like the aroma of freshly baked sugar cookies permeating throughout the house during the holidays. I also like the kids to have fun...there are a lot of laughs and chuckles as they decorate their cookies. I like to begin my baking a few days before I'll be serving my cookies or giving them out as gifts. I know a lot of people that start baking their holiday cookies weeks ahead of time. I like them to be the freshest they can be! It's probably the only thing I wait to do the last minute in my life. Hee! Hee! If you happen to have at favorite tried and true cookie recipe you'd like to share with me please email your recipe to me at: [email protected] or Click the "Contact~ bark Up Our Tree" tab and leave me a message😊 I wish everyone a happy, joy-filled, and peaceful holiday season Happy tales to you, xoxo Yvonne RECIPES BELOW 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (My modified version of the original) Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 eggs 2 cups Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 375 degrees (I have a convection oven so I lower the temp to 350degrees) Combine flour,, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl, Set aside. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl nd mix well until creamy. (I mix this by hand) Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition. Add the flour mixture and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls on uncreased cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-9 minutes (They sort of look light brown on the edges and light tan on the overall cookie. The look like their undercooked but they not) Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. 🍪  Spritz Cookies (My Mom's Butter Cookie Recipe) Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg 1/2 salt 2 tsp. vanilla 2 1/4 cups all- purpose flour Heat oven to 400 degrees ( I use my convection oven for baking and cooking...if you do use you convection oven decrease the temp to 375 degrees Mix butter, sugar, egg, salt and vanilla thoroughly. Sift flour into the wet ingredients. Using 1/4 dough at a time, force dough through a cooky press on ungreased baking sheets in desired shapes. Bake 6 to 9 minutes, or until set but not brown. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.  Gingerbread Cookies (From Old Bethpage Restoration Village photo: circa 1986) Ingredients: 2 sticks butter, softened 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup molasses 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. ginger In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and molasses. Set aside. In a smaller bowl, sift dry ingredients together and add to the butter/egg mixture. Mix the whole together. Roll into balls; put them on iron sheets. (I put them on cookie sheets lined with parchment) Bake them in a moderate oven (350 degrees) for 10-12 minutes. Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies (Marie & her mom's Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies) Ingredients: 2 sticks butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour Seedless Raspberry Preserves Preheat oven to 375 degrees (350 degrees for a convection oven) Cream butter with sugar until fluffy. Add flour to butter mixture until thoroughly combined. Shape into jumbo olive size balls, place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Press with thumb in center of the ball to create a "thumbprint" ** (I press my thumb in each ball as I create the balls...or else I've found that the dough will dry and crack if you wait until you've filled the cookie sheet with the balls.) Gently fill the "thumbprint" with the seedless raspberry preserves. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until light brown on edges and set. Remove from cookie sheets to wire rack to cool.  This photo was taken last year during our Christmas Celebration  Whatever i do...There are days that are more challenging than others. Then there are months that are a test of resilience. October was one of those months for me. Don't get me wrong, nothing tragic happened. It just didn't go the way I had planned. It all began when I got an upper respiratory infection the first week in October. It was one of those yucky germs that keep you in bed throughout. But, something other than the infection was happening to me. I started to feel pain in my shoulders and neck. The pain kept getting worse where I was forced to cancel all of Picasso's therapy visits and his workshop at the Massapequa Library. It was sad for me to have to do this. While the upper respiratory infection was slowly getting better, the pain in my shoulders and neck was not. After going to my GP and Rheumatologist, I learned that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). I'm now being treated for both. I'm grateful to the medical staff and doctors for all of their help in diagnosing this for me and helping me feel better. I am also grateful for all of the prayers, well wishes, cards, goodies, and even a full bag of delicious groceries. I will be forever grateful to everyone for keeping me in your mindful thoughts. I'm now taking it easy. If any one knows me well is not an easy task for me. I guess it's a lesson of patience with myself. I also learned that I'm a horrible patient...just ask my husband and kids. There were times (and they don't know this) that I did see them roll their eyes at one another as if to say, "just take the water with the pill now and don't ask us if we've washed our hands before!" Care-taking is tough for me. I love being a caregiver, but being on the other side of the world is challenging for me. Huh! Another lesson in the book of life!! I promise you all that I will be back...better than ever! As soon as I am able, I will start our therapy visits again and maybe even have workshops again! Currently, I'm writing my third book. It's a bit different than my other two books. In between writing, I'll be venturing into our studio to paint with Picasso and maybe even dabble in the paint scene myself. Whatever I do...
it will be with creativity, education, and community service in mind. Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I will do the same for all of you! Have a very happy and thankful Thanksgiving Happy Tales to you! xoxo Yvonne Hey, That's my seat! Did you ever notice that when you go somewhere often you gravitate to the same seat you were in the last time you were there? Or that when you're at an event people place their coats or pocket books at a specific seat as a marker? Even at a family dinner and gathering there are seats given to people at the "head" of the table that are usually for the host or honored guest. While growing up at a rectangular table, my father sat at one end and my grandfather was at the other end of the table. We just always knew that they had those seats. The rest of us took the remaining seats. But, we usually all had the same seats at every meal. Where I sit in church with Picasso and my husband, Denis, is where we sit every Sunday at mass. When we arrive to our "normal" seats and see someone else sitting there...I think to myself, "Hey, that's my seat!! The nerve, doesn't he/she know that I sit there?" But, in reality, I don't own that pew! Anyone can sit there. I was talking to my brother-in-law about this after mass one Sunday. He was upset that someone was sitting in "his seat." I chuckled because I wondered how many people feel that same way that we do. Why do we always take the same seats every week?? Is it because we are creatures of habit or just feel more comfortable sitting in the same seats week after week? For my husband and I, it's because we have Picasso and we need the xtra space with him. But, I have to admit that when I see someone else in "my" seat I get a little upset. Believe it or not, I know of people who think that they own the pew and NO ONE is allowed to sit in their seat. They will actually not talk to you if you take their seat! It's comical! But can be a real problem. After researching this subject, I found that "people sit in the same seats at church primarily out of habit and comfort, as routines become ingrained and specific spots offer desirable views, sound quality, or easy access. Other reasons include: practical concerns like proximity to an exit or hearing aids; social connection with friends and family in a familiar spot; and a desire for a sense of spiritual connection or consistency, especially for those who have lost a loved one, as the seat can be a source of comfort. At other events "the act of claiming a space, even temporarily, is a common form of "territoriality," a psychological mechanism used to create a sense of control over one's environment." Have you ever witnessed someone arriving at an event and immediately place their coat/pocketbook at a seat? I see this at weddings and gatherings. These people seem to know the rules really well!! They want to get the "best" seat in the house. I've been at weddings where my husband and I are assigned to a particular table and by the time we get there we see pocketbooks at every seat. So, we take what's left. I guess I talk too much to the guests on my arrival that we kind of loose out...but, it really doesn't matter to us to high-tail over to the table to get a seat. But, in all fairness to the people who do rush over to get a seat, there could be other reasons for their haste. Placing a marker at a table can actually reduce the anxiety of finding a spot after the hall gets crowed thus allowing the attendee to feel more relaxed and have a good time. I just find all of this sociologically interesting. We as humans do things that are traditional such as the seat at the head of the dining table or habitual and comforting by taking the same exact seat at a place of worship according to our situations when it comes to finding our seat in the world. Are we creatures of habit or just controlling our territory? As for me, I think I'm a little of both. I like to sit in the same seat week after week at church and maybe it is kind of territorial too! I think I'll move around a little to see and get to know others at a different vantage point. I'll have to get up the nerve to do just that!! So, when you're at church or at an event, you may want to take notice of where you and others take your seats. Look around, take notice of how many people travel over to the same seat every week. It's very interesting! Happy Fall!
Happy tales to you! xoxo Yvonne Labor Day Many years ago, my husband's cousin, Brian Cullen, said something very profound. He said, "It doesn't matter what you do for a living as long as you're passionate about it and do it to the best of your ability." He went on to explain that being a school bus driver is as important as a rocket scientist. That made me chuckle a little because, you see, Brian was a rocket scientist. He was a pioneer of laser radar systems and a leader in the aerospace industry. But, why did he say this I wondered. At the time he was writing a book about evolution by design and mathematics. Brian's brilliance in his field has made him appreciate all work in every field. Everyone's work and job is important to him no matter what that job is. Writing this blog made me think about what Brian said back then which prompted me to give him a call...it was a wonderful call. He will be celebrating his 85th Birthday this Thanksgiving. I reminisced with him about what he said to my husband, Denis, years before. He added, "just look at the way the Japanese do their handicraft work. The wood polishers are so important." Brian's words exemplified his statement that every part of a finished product is important. He went on to say that the demise of a rocket going to the moon may just be a tile that fell off or a ring that malfunctioned. The conversation I had with Brian made me reflect on all the jobs I've had over the years that I felt were menial. Often, they were jobs with low pay and were very boring and tedious. But after remembering and speaking with Brian about his conversation with my husband I have a new and greater gratitude for the true meaning of being passionate about the fruits of our labor and what they contribute to our well-being and life and the life of others. Therefore, through Brian's words I've come to relize that every job I've had whether I felt it was menial or not contributed to the person I am today. So, as we commemorate Labor Day today, celebrate all the jobs you've had because each job contributed to the finished product and made you who you are today too!! Celebrate YOU today! Happy Labor Day!
Happy Tales to you, xoxo Yvonne  Do you truly believe in yourself? I struggle with believing in myself. People often say... "Just have courage and believe in yourself" The words sound like it's so easy to do. Doesn't it? But, how do we do it and what do we have to do to really truly believe in oneself. I really wanted to know. So, as many of you know me already, when something intrigues me, I do my research...normally that means doing a Google research. lol... This is what I found... "Believing in yourself, or self-belief, means having confidence in your own abilities, potential, and judgment. It's about trusting that you can learn, grow, and adapt to challenges, even when faced with setbacks. It's not about being perfect or better than others, but rather having a realistic understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. Here's a more detailed explanation: Key Components of Believing in Yourself:
"Believing in yourself doesn't mean that you have unrealistic expectations." It takes courage to believe in yourself. It's not about boasting neither. I used to think that if I truly believed in myself and I boasted about it that I was showing off. According to the experts, this is far from the truth. Believing in yourself is really about a "can do" attitude. An attitude that even if I don't succeed, I've at least tried to the best of my ability. It's about being proud of your accomplishments as big or small as they may be. It's about keeping going no matter what obstacles are in your way. Because when you believe in yourself the difficulties will come and go and the successes remain with you. Simply Put, Hang in There!
AND Believe in Yourself!! I'm going to try...Will you? Happy tales to you, xoxo Yvonne 🇺🇸 happy July 4th!!! 🇺🇸 July 4th, also known as Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. This day signifies the formal declaration of the 13 American colonies' separation from British rule, marking the birth of the United States as an independent nation. Celebrations typically include fireworks, parades, picnics, and other festivities. (1) I love a birthday celebration! I love cake and cookies and I adore celebrating anything! Looks like here in New York the weather will be fantastic! That's wonderful news for people who are planning outdoor parties, barbecues, picnics and the like to celebrate the holiday. While all of the celebrations are fun and it's so good to celebrate our county's birth, it's also a holiday where there are the most runaway pets. Shelters on July 5th are filled to capacity with pets who have gotten spooked from the fireworks and run away, gotten lost, and ended up on the streets wandering around scared and alone. For many families this holiday can be very challenging especially if you have a pet that's sensitive to the sound of fireworks. Many people, like myself, have had family pets that become frightened and run or shake out of control. It's important to know how to keep your pets safe at home during the holiday. Here are some tips I've used over the years to ensure the safety of my pets:
I hope these tips help you with planning a 4th of July that safe and WOOfderful for both you and your pet(s)! While we all want to have a safe and pleasurable holiday, things do happen that are out of our control. However, if you take these tips seriously your holiday will be happy and celebratory! 🇺🇸 Happy July 4th🇺🇸 Enjoy every minute and be safe!!

 Picasso's newest painting: " Spring Sunshine" 12"x12" Acrylic on Canvas | Spring! Hello Spring! Welcome Spring! Happy Spring! |
What does the Spring season mean to you?
Spring has been a time for me of watching the crocuses and tulips lift their sleepy heads out of the ground to say hello to the world. They herald in a time of warmer weather and longer sunshiny days, of walks with the dogs that don't require big puffy coats, knitted hats and scarves. Days that seem to never end. Now, don't get me wrong, I do enjoy to watch the snow come down on a winters day. But, Ahh, the spring time beats even that for me.
Does hearing the word Spring put a "spring" in your step?
(No pun intended-Hee Hee)
Does hearing the word Spring put a "spring" in your step?
(No pun intended-Hee Hee)
After the winter we've had here in New York, it certainly does put a spring in my step, for sure! Since I was a young child, I've always looked forward to the spring time. The spring time for me meant that the warmer weather was just around the corner, there was more sunshine, longer days, blossoming leaves, more playing with my friends and siblings outdoors and on and on!
It also meant that the Easter Bunny was going to visit our house and leave us baskets filled with candy. I loved the chocolate coved marshmallow eggs and chocolate bunnies the most! For Easter every year my grand mother who was a milliner would create the most beautiful Easter bonnets for us while my mom, a dress maker and designer, would make us gorgeous custom coats and dresses to go with the hats. We would travel from our home on Utopia Blvd. in Flushing, Queens to the Bloomingdales to get our black patent leather Mary Jane shoes, socks, pocket books and gloves. These would be saved in our bedroom closet until Easter Sunday. Every once in a while I would sneak a peak in the box that they were housed in and smell the new scent of the black patent leather and dream of how special I would feel all dressed up.
As I grew and had my own children, I never forgot how excited I always felt this time of the year. However, Easter took on a whole other meaning for me. I'm not down playing the wonderful and exciting anticipation of the Easter Bunny coming and those chocolate covered marshmallow eggs that tasted like heaven. On the contrary, as an adult, it now meant a new life left dormant during the winter months. I guess you could call it an awakening of sorts. I became more interested in my faith and what that meant to me. I truly believe that my kids were the inspiration for this awakening. As they went to their religious education classes, I learned along with them. I realized that I didn't grasp any knowledge of my religious education when I was growing up. Oh, I thought I knew everything, but when I was learning along with my own kids, I found out that I was far from knowing anything at all. This was a real eyeopener for me. I realized right then and there that I had a great deal to learn and that everyday we learn something new no matter how old we get. What about you? What does the Spring or any change of the seasons mean to you? Do you have a favorite season? Please share you thoughts with me in the comments below.
In closing, I would have to say that whether you live in the
Northeastern part of the United States like we do
or else where in the world,
take a little time to smell the flowers
and do something nice for yourself.
Happy tales to you,
xoxo Yvonne
