Sunday Pause (Paws)

cino-tree

This is Cino checking out the tree right after I finished putting it up. She gets so excited when the tree goes up.

I used my cell phone for the picture above and I am not one of those people who has a great cell phone. I have a very basic one, which I got, believe it or not, to make phone calls with. This photo probably would have turned out a lot better with one of those great new phone cameras. But for having an average phone camera, I must say I do like the dark, shadowy look with the lights glowing softly.

For this Sunday Pause (Paws), I invite you to sit back, relax, and check out the other photos of Cino on “My Sweet Cino” page and read a little story about us. There is a link on the photos page of how Cino & I met, if you haven’t already read it. (It was one of my earlier posts when I first started seriously blogging a few months ago so I don’t think many people saw it).

Happy Sunday!

The tale of Theodore told by Amelia

My sister had gotten a puppy named, Theodore, for her 9th birthday. Almost two years later, Theodore went missing.

Dad had Theodore outside and turned away for a minute. When he looked back Theodore was gone. He called for him, but Theo never came.

Thanksgiving is only a few days away. A time to reflect on what we are thankful for.

Here is a beautiful video of the sun shining over the water, the waves moving, and a beautiful song about what we can be thankful for and where it all comes from. I encourage you to view the pictures below as you listen to the video about these beautiful things.

It’s Sunday! Kick back, relax, and enjoy!

Pets Outside in the Cold-What Do We Do?

I received a phone call this morning from someone who is concerned about a neighbor dog and they were looking for advice. The dog seems to be put outside whenever they are home and then brought inside whenever they leave. When the dog is outside it is put inside of a little fenced in square they have in the yard.

The concern isn’t so much about that, even though in my opinion, I don’t feel people should have a dog unless they are actually going to pay attention to it. It’s more about the nonstop barking for one. Although ignoring your pet is going to cause barking and other behavior issues (and who’s fault is this?…not the dog’s. Just saying). The other concern is, it just turned very cold here, and the dog is being left in the cold for hours at a time. This dog has no doghouse to go into and there are no leaves on trees anymore to block the brutal winds. Continue reading →

Hoping to Make an Impact

8 Replies

I have been blogging (well…serious blogging) for a few months now. I have played around with my blog, changing & adding things like the “Tuesday Tales” where I share animal stories and “Sunday Pause (Paws)” where I encourage everyone to kick back & relax. On my “Vegetarian Challenge” page I try to add recipes every now & then. There hasn’t been an actual challenge yet, but maybe in the future. Also, I have been adding my favorite cruelty free products to the “Links” page, adding some pictures of my cat, Cino and “Pet Care Tips.”

I will continue to add to these pages and keep a variety on my blog. But one thing that will not change is where my heart is, and that is helping the fight against animal cruelty.

This means some of my posts will not be so uplifting or fun. If I were to only do “happy” posts I wouldn’t be spreading the word about animal cruelty and therefore I wouldn’t be helping animals.

The tale of Casey told by Allison

One evening our neighbor called us over because she heard a strange sound near one of the sheds. It sounded like a meow. As it turned out, it WAS a meow!

All this “President” talk, how about a “Kid President?!” There is a kid who made a list of “Awesome Things to be Thankful For.” He talks about how we all have things to be thankful for if we take the time to look around to see them. For some reason, we the human race, like to focus on the negative. I think we can learn something from this kid.

Some things I am thankful for are: my family, my friends, the beautiful seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall, & Winter, the I Love Lucy tv show, Starbucks Chai Latte-YUM!, animals-ALL ANIMALS, GOD, shelter, Chicken in a Biscuit crackers, Continue reading →

Beautiful Flames

via Daily Prompt: Flames

With fall coming to an end, it will soon be time for the “S” word. I am not a huge fan of winter, but one thing I really enjoy is sitting by a fire and listening to the crackling of the wood burning. There is also something so mesmerizing about those flames.

Be Kind

I didn’t plan on doing a post today, but with all of the negativity going on in the United States right now over the election, I thought this picture I found on Facebook had a great message.

Not all of us agree on who should or shouldn’t be President, but please remember to still be kind. We are all entitled to our own opinions, that is what makes us “individuals.” Don’t follow the crowd, think for yourself, and be kind!
