Dogs are the greatest!




I saw this funny dog in a gift store the other day and couldn't resist taking a photo of it. Kind of like my lawn ornament obsession, I suppose!

I liked the funny crown on his head. To many loving owners, their dog is king. I feel lucky to have many Facebook friends who love dogs and work to raise money for rescue groups and shelters.

Dogs are the greatest, no doubt about it. We have an Alaskan Malamute named Loup who was abandoned out here in farm country. The hubs already had three dogs at the time but took him on, too.

 All our other dogs are gone now and we only have Loup, the king.


I also love cats but I didn't see a cat with a crown in that store. If I ever do, I'll take a photo of that for sure! 

I am writing something every day for the Yeah Write NoMo Challenge for November. http://yeahwrite.me/november-2015/

    So cute! ☺ Of course, this post got my attention immediately. Your Loup is such a handsome boy, Cathy.

      Thanks, Debbie. I knew you'd like this one. I thought this dog with crown was very cute but I didn't run to buy it though. Loup is king around here, or is it Kobie who is king? I think Kobie is winning these days.

    I've never really understood the "dog" person/"cat" person thing. I just like animals. Glad to read I'm not the only one.

      Yes, some folks really do prefer one over the other. While I do tend to favour cats a bit more, I do love dogs, too. Thanks for your comments!

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestim...

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini...
