Sunday Pause (Paws): The Cat In The Hat (My Version)

12 Replies

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and listen to a story by me. 🙂

Yesterday was good old Dr. Seuss’s birthday! So I made my own online little rhyming book in honor of him.

This is my first attempt at making something like this where I use my voice and my own images. I found out I still have a lot to learn. The images don’t seem to view very clearly on all screens sizes. But never fear, I am sharing each story page first so you can see them clearly.

So presenting the short rhyming story…The Cat In The Hat (my version).

Let’s be real…sometimes we all wanna stick out our tongue out and say na-na na-na boo boo, go stick your head in doo doo. (Can you tell I work around children?)

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and break some records…

Not that kind of record, silly Cino
It’s about all of this endless snow
The most in February in history
It just won’t stop, it just won’t go

We’re already buried up to our chin
Mounds of white everywhere you turn
And yet a blizzard warning is out Continue reading →

Sunday Pause (Paws): Buried In Snow

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and enjoy the snow.

We have the whole day free
And oh the places we’ll go
Except we stepped out the door
And now we’re buried in snow

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and for me I would like to express appreciation to all of you!

It’s Valentine’s week and Valentine’s is all about love and appreciation. So I wanted to take this time to thank all of my new followers, my old followers, and the ones who have been with me since the beginning.

Sunday Pause (Paws): Are You Ready?

4 Replies

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and watch some football (if you’re into it).

It’s Super Bowl Sunday so here is a poem for you.

Do you like the game?
Are you really into it?
Putting all things aside
And got a comfy spot to sit

Snacks & drinks are ready
Friends & family gathered near
Everyone’s got their jersey on
And voices are ready to cheer

Even Butterfinger is ready to go
And he means business y’all
So there is only one question…
Are you ready for some football?

Enjoy your day.

Happy Sunday!

If You See It, Don’t Ignore It

With this week’s insanely cold temperatures I worried every day & night about any animals out there. I can’t stand the thought of a dog hooked to a chain, a bunny stuck in a cage, or cat being left outside to endure the temperatures when there is a warm house feet away. When people choose to leave their pets outside during these dangerous temperatures, let’s face it, the animal’s life is at stake.

If you see this…do something.

Sunday Pause (Paws): They Feel, We Feel

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and “feel.”

I‘m feeling pretty proud of the number of shares the following image I made has received so far. It is the most shared image of mine to date so I wanted to share it with you and talk a little bit about the word “feel.”

All animals do feel the same as your pet. They feel pain, fear, loneliness, sadness, boredom, stress, happiness, comfort, and love (to name a few). Continue reading →

The Passing of Milo

I‘m sorry to say that one of the AAFBT gang, Milo, recently passed away. Milo was my cousin’s dog and one of the “characters” I use on my posts/images at times (shown below).

Studies show that losing a pet is/can be as devastating as losing a human. To many their pet is their baby and part of the family. They are not “just an animal” to them. If feelings Continue reading →
