It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and take a break from the busyness of the week.
Apparently September is “Happy Cat Month.” So what could be better to celebrate this than some adorable cat photos! Continue reading
Hello all. As Cino is reading about above, I will be taking a break from weekly Tuesday Tales. In case, you do not know what my Tuesday Tales are, they are stories I share about animals on…well Tuesdays. These stories are from people I know, stories from the internet, my own stories, and stories from you out there. I will still do Tuesday Tales from time to time, just not weekly.
My intent is not to back off from my blog, but to free myself Continue reading
Photo taken from Tiya Ivy
I came across this post and was so moved by it, I had to share. Tiya Ivy wrote this post after the tragic death of her cat, Henry. She poured her heart out about the pain she was in over Henry’s death and how it happened.
Here is a paragraph from Tiya’s post:
“You see, Henry wasn’t just a run of the mill house cat. He wasn’t just a fixture in the background of our home that came in for feeding and kept to himself. He was an ever-present, loving and very involved member of our family. The night he died, his final act in this world before sneaking past my husband’s feet to get out far too late that evening, was to calm our 4-year-old daughter (who was having a meltdown because she was overtired and didn’t want to go to bed) by laying peacefully beside her until she finally drifted to sleep – as was his way. Every time I had a migraine, he never left my side until the storm had passed, even when I was puking my guts up and writhing in agony. When he came for a cuddle, he didn’t just lie next to you, he insisted on having his paw held. Despite the numerous times they certainly deserved it, he never once raised a claw to either of our girls. The amount of times he would make us laugh on a daily basis is innumerable. He was the physical embodiment of love and patience. He gave us everything he had to give and your actions robbed us of the chance to thank him for choosing to share his life with us before he left this world.” Continue reading
This post was a last minute thought, but I have been getting some pretty good photos of Cino in her tunnel lately. I thought I would share them because I think they are pretty cute! I hope you think so too!
Cino likes to switch where she sleeps every few months. She moves from one her beds to the next (she has two beds), to my our bed, to a blanket on the floor, to her climber, and to the tunnel. I guess she gets bored easy and likes variety. 🙂 When she sleeps on her climber she usually sleeps on the middle ledge, but lately she has been sleeping in the tunnel.
And there you have it!
Hope to see you tomorrow. I’m excited about tomorrow’s Tuesday Tale, mostly for the topic and hopefully the conversation it will bring. 🙂
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax and spend some time with family.
For this post, I have included pictures of just a few of my family members. They are photos I have taken recently while spending time with them. (Note: The photos of my parents didn’t have the greatest quality, so I did a lot of playing around with them and decided to turn them into more of “artwork” type photos. That is why they look as they do.)
My mom and I recently had the most enjoyable time going for a walk by a man-made body of water. We found a swing to sit on and we just kicked back, relaxed, and enjoyed the view while sipping on a Chai Latte from Starbucks (my favorite and I mean FAVORITE drink).

This is a story from 2014, but I have only seen it recently. It’s about a man named Pete and a dog named Buster. Sadly, when Buster was nine years old, Pete ran into financial trouble and lost his house. He knew it wasn’t good for Buster to live out on the streets, so he did what he felt was best for him.

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and take a break from the busyness of the week.
Cino wanted to start today with a little hello. (Turn up the volume)
The friendly word hello. We say hello when we answer the phone, when we meet someone, and as we pass by someone.
When you pass by someone in a hallway or on the street, do you think you should say hello? Continue reading
Dakota
The cat in the photo above is my cousin’s cat, Dakota. She captioned this particular photo “The Mighty Hunter.” This seemed perfect for this unplanned post.
Dakota is watching a bird in a bush but wasn’t putting a lot of effort into trying to go after it. When my cat, Cino, sees a bird her posture immediately changes to what looks like “attack” mode. There is a choice they have to make, attack or sit back and let it go.
Which choice do you make when you encounter a rude person? Do you attack and fight back or do you calmly sit back and let it go? Continue reading
HUFFPOSTToday I am looking back at an older Tuesday Tale of mine with some new thoughts and questions. If you have been following me for a while you may have read this post called “A Tender Moment Between A Man And His Dog.” It is about a beautiful relationship between a man (John) and his dog (Schoep). As Schoep got older and his arthritis kept him from sleeping, John would bring him to Lake Superior and hold him until he fell asleep in his arms in the water. That is John & Schoep pictured above. The picture alone speaks volumes!
This is such a beautiful story it is worth repeating. Check out the story on the Huffington Post here.
There are a few points we can take away from this story. Continue reading
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and notice what’s around you.
Before I begin this post, I just wanted to mention that each one of these pictures were taken by me over this past week (except for the very last image). Some of them were taken with my phone which takes really bad pictures. They would have just been bad quality pictures if I left them alone, so I had fun playing with them and making each one look different.
Flowers that were given to me from my place of employment for the loss of my sister
Just in this past week I have seen a lot of beauty around me. From the flowers above to the beauty in nature as seen in the photos below. Continue reading
