Happy National Pet Day
We miss you all! Just so you know, we plan to keep this blog active. We have no plans to be done blogging and never will stop advocating. Just have different things to focus on right now. Hope you’re all well. ❤
Sunday Pawzing To Just Hang Out
It’s Sunday! A great day to just hang out and get refreshed and recharged.
I‘ve had some time off this past week. It was time for Cino’s annual exam which is always a bit stressful. She, of course, doesn’t like it, and that makes it stressful for us too. We had to do curbside for the first time ever. It was weird but went just fine. We have an awesome vet! You can really see & feel that he genuinely cares about his patients and their parents. Believe me, I don’t say that lightly and wouldn’t say it unless I truly believed and felt it. It actually took at least a few years after bringing her there and getting to know them before I was able to see this was a good place with an incredible vet. My advice is to always do your research and choose wisely who you bring your pets to.
Cino got a clean bill of health and with that done I spent some time cleaning and organizing the office. It is hard to believe that one day I won’t have a bunch of junk sitting around the office. It’s the room things have gone in, since we moved here, that we are unsure of what to do with. Some things will go to Good Will and some things just need a storage spot. I have no idea how all of this stuff fit in the last place which was quite a bit smaller and yet here with a bigger space I can’t find a spot. 🙂 OK, so part of it is that I got really good at utilizing every nook & cranny at the old place. But here, I don’t want a bunch of packed to the brim closets where you can’t get at anything so I have been trying to slowly go through things and keep closets, and everywhere, as clutter free as possible. We sure do accumulate a lot of “stuff” don’t we?
Well today we are going to just hang around like my cousin’s cat is literally doing in the picture below. 🙂

Whatever you do today, I hope it’s a great day. Happy Sunday!
For The Love Of Cats
Finally! I was finally able to finish the video I was working on two weeks ago when I ran into all kinds of software/computer trouble. It so happens that today is Cat World Domination Day! So it worked out ok because what a perfect day to share it. 🐱

I put the video together in honor of a cat that was beaten on live video. Continue reading
Technology Exhaustion
Hello friends.
I put together a post for today and have ran into technology problems that have turned into an entire day long project.
To say the least I feel just as Cino looks…exhausted.
The problems are with my desktop computer where I do all of my artwork and blogging from. Not sure if they are fixed but it looks like that post and maybe others will have to be on hold for now. Ugh.
Sunday Pause (Paws): So Much More
Over this past week my friend’s dog, Dakota, celebrated his 15th birthday while someone at work had to say goodbye to their dog, Niko. This got me thinking about how important it is that we see how all life matters. Dakota is not just a dog, but a part of my friend’s family and worthy to be celebrated! Niko was not just a dog, but a part of my co-worker’s family and worthy of a time of mourning and remembrance.
I wrote the following poem thinking about these two precious lives. Photos are included of each of them. (Dakota’s mom is a professional photographer).
A pet is not just a pet
But one of the best friends you’ll ever get
Your comforter, therapist, friend, & baby
A pet is so many things including family
They are worthy to be celebrated in a big way
To throw a huge party for on their birthday
Decorations, friends, photos, and cake
These are special memories that we make

Sunday Pause (Paws): In The Cold
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back & relax.
This weekend here is a perfect time to stay in and cozy up with a book, movie, or take a nap. It’s freezing!
These adorable pets below are having fun playing in the snow.
They will be brought in when they are done. Continue reading
Sunday Pause (Paws): Festive Bow Tie
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back and relax.
Today I wrote a little poem and added pics/images of Cino in her bow tie to accompany it. 🙂
We’re in that time of year
When everyone is filled with cheer
Dressing up with a festive bow tie
Singing “Angels We Have Heard On High”
Posing for pics looking our best
Hoping others are impressed
Sunday Pause (Paws): Are You Ready?
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!
Sunday Pause (Paws): A Very Merry Christmas To You
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and enjoy the holidays!
It’s hard to believe tomorrow is already Christmas Eve. Time got away from me this year that I didn’t even send out Christmas cards. I have never done that before. Since it seems too late to send any out now I made one to post & share with all of my friends, family and with all of you. The picture of Cino & I is from a photo shoot a friend did months back. As you can see Cino LOVED it!
Things will be busy for the next few days for me as I am sure they will be for you. That’s why I am dedicating this Sunday’s post to wishing you a Merry Christmas. I hope you enjoy the photo and here is a poem I wrote. Continue reading
