Sunday Pause (Paws): Hand & Paw

6 Replies

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and enjoy some poetry (at least I hope you will). The picture below is one of my favorites. So the up close image of the side of my hand was mistaken for an elephant’s foot (it really was by someone at work). I still love it because it is my hand and Cino’s paw. It’s very special to me. 🙂

HAND AND PAW

A gift from God
For now you’re mine
Put your paw in my hand
And together we’ll be fine

A gentle pet to your paw
You lift it up & reach back
A silent form of communication
Of love we do not lack

A new banner for Animals Are Feeling Beings Too has been in the making for about a year now. It has been a challenge coming up with the right combination for the whole look. It is at a point where I am comfortable publishing it and can say to you all the new blog look is here!

Sunday Pause (Paws): Changes

15 Replies

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and maybe consider making a change.

Change can be hard, but it can also be good. It depends on what kind of change it is. We usually make changes when we feel the need. It’s good to take some time every now & then to reflect on any areas of our lives we may need to change.

The change I am making and want to share with you (with the help of Cino) is to my blog website.

Sunday Pause (Paws): Happily Ever After

10 Replies

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and find our “Happily Ever After.”

I was watching the tv show “Once Upon A Time” a few days ago. It was the finale of the show and it ended by all of the storybook characters getting their happily ever after.

There was one scene of a character who died being reunited with his life long love and even though he died, this was still his happily ever after. This scene made me cry. There were a lot of things going through my mind; my sister’s death (which happened unexpectedly last year), the recent school shootings, Continue reading →

It’s Cino’s Birthday

Eight years ago this little angel came into my life. She was so confused at the Humane Society when I was visiting her in the adoption room. Both of us unsure of one another. But then there was a look and a “meow” and that was all it took for me to make up my mind.

She spent many days hiding behind the toilet in her new home. Then one night I woke up to a cold wet nose. It was then that we became buddies, it was then that we became family.

It is my honor & pleasure to celebrate her today.

Happy 11th Birthday Cino!

Because we all need to refresh & recharge

Trying A New Thing

14 Replies

Not too long ago I mentioned I was going to a class where we would make a glass bowl. Something I have never done before. I like to do crafty things occasionally and I especially like trying new things.

A few people mentioned they would like to see the finished bowl so I am sharing it with you today…but first Cino needed to check it out. Continue reading →
