Sunday Pause (Paws): For Girl Time
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and enjoy some silly fun.
I just had my third annual “Girl’s Day” last weekend and it was a blast.
(Cino was there too)
Even though it is a lot of work entertaining, it is worth it. These are memories in the making. Continue reading

Make A Change With Love & Prayer
I wrote the following poem this morning because there was a shooting near me last night. As some of you know writing poetry helps me release feelings. It is so hard to hear about all of these shootings and think about the current state of this country and our world. It seems we can’t go a week without hearing of a shooting and most of the shootings are by students. A change is needed and it’s not always just the law that needs to change.
It seems to be our new reality
A shooting here, a shooting there
The only way to change this
Is with love and prayer
Laws will always be broken
Causing many people despair
The only way to change this
Is with love and prayer Continue reading

Sunday Pause (Paws): Photography
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and capture life’s great moments.
One of my friends is a photographer. I’ve seen what great work she does and have seen many of her photos of people with their pets. So I thought maybe she could take some pictures of Cino & I. I had it pictured in my head how great it would look. She found the perfect basket for Cino to sit in and a blanket to put under it that would look good with her coloring. We were set.
We decided to get together last Sunday and do the photo shoot along with just hanging out and visiting since it had been a while for us. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
I knew Cino most likely wouldn’t cooperate and I was right. Continue reading

A Dog Forced In An Overhead Bin
Being an animal advocate I can’t pass by the hot topic right now concerning a precious dog who lost his life on an airplane. This little 10 month old puppy’s life was lost tragically. A flight attendant forced passengers to put their dog in the over head bin. If you haven’t heard about this, the video below will explain.

Sunday Pause (Paws): For Creativeness
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and maybe get creative.
This is something I like to do in my leisure time. I like creating artwork pieces from photos and trying different crafts. Have any of you ever done the wine & paint nights? I have gone to 2 classes. Here are my masterpieces.

We Won! (So The Animals Win Too)
Hello all!
Some of you know that I absolutely love the Red Rover Readers program! I have talked about it before here on my blog. I want so much to make a difference in this world for animals. I always pray that there will be more and stronger laws. But then when I think about this program, I think maybe we need to focus more on human beings and how they treat animals instead of solely relying on the law to take care of it. After all, when the law steps in the damage has already been done.
The Red Rover Readers program is all about teaching empathy. Empathy to animals ultimately helps human beings. As I have pointed out in other posts of mine, there is research that proves the link between animal cruelty and human violence. Children are our future, so we need to start with them to make a change.
Some of you also know I work at a place that cares for children. I took the Red Rover Readers course a few years ago and have been working on implementing it in the classrooms. Just last week one of the classrooms & I read one of the books that is part of this program to the children and held a discussion with the children about how they think the dog felt by looking at his face/posture. I took a picture per the instructions for a drawing, sent it in, and we won!

Sunday Pause (Paws): Centaur
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax and enjoy amazing talent.
If you live where there is snow you have probably gone to events where they have snow sculptures. This talent amazes me.
Well I didn’t even have to go to an event this year. Someone made this incredible centaur in their front yard right in my neighborhood.

Sunday Pause (Paws): Or Maybe Another Day
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back & relax.
Sundays are a great day to set aside for things like friends, family, doing things you enjoy, & rest. But sometimes it’s not just Sundays.
I got pretty sick this week and missed two days of work. I was pushing through the beginning of the week and I got to a point where I just knew, no more. I have to stay home and rest.
