Do Pets Know?

Today when I was walking down the hallway toward the apartment I could hear Cino’s collar tags jingling around, her pawing at the door, and her meowing. It made me smile! I felt like she knew it was me and I was coming home. In fact it gave me such a happy feeling I started walking faster and I started talking to her at the other side of the door as I was working the key in the lock. I was as excited to see her as she was to see me! After all, I get to see this cute face. 🙂

Sunday Pause (Paws): For Some Football

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and watch some football.

If you live in the states today is a big day! It’s Super Bowl Day! I know many people will either be attending a party or sitting in front of their own tv to watch it.

So I figured I would keep this post short & sweet and simply say…

Sunday Pause (Paws): Good for the Soul

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back and relax.

Sunday is a day of relaxing so that you have the strength to tackle the week ahead. But this doesn’t always mean just laying around and doing nothing. It is also a day for regrouping. If there were an opportunity to help others out we wouldn’t say no just because it is Sunday. Actually, doing things for others can be very uplifting and good for the soul. This can be part of regrouping.

Today I am going to an event at my friend’s house called “Sandwich Project for the Homeless.” A bunch of us will be putting together over a hundred sandwiches that will be brought to a local shelter.

Sunday Pause (Paws): Fun In The Snow

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and play in the snow!

The idea for this post all started with the photo of the horse below from This Old Horse. I thought it was the most adorable photo and immediately asked them if I could share the photo with you all.

Why I Do What I Do

As an animal advocate it can be frustrating feeling like you have to defend yourself. When people don’t feel the same passion that you do about, anything really, it is hard for them to understand. To me, when it comes to something like the well-being of another living being, I truly can’t understand how they can’t feel the same way. So as you can see, the “not understanding” goes both ways.

Sunday Pause (Paws): Amazing Blogging Community

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and smile.

Smile at what? Although there is a lot of tragedy in our world, there is still a lot to smile about. One thing that makes me smile is the amazing blogging community…you!

It is so awesome meeting people from all around the world. Most people who follow me have a love for animals as I do and I always love meeting fellow animal lovers. But that isn’t the only community I am part of. I follow and have connected with photographers, artists, authors, & foodies. I have connected with someone who makes jewelry in Spain, an author in Canada, and the artist I am featuring in today’s post from the UK. I connected with her on Facebook, which is another great community of people.

The talent out there is so much fun to see and even more awesome to be able to share with my followers as I am today. The following painting is by Clair Green. It is of her cat, Jasmine, in her favorite spot in the garden.

Sunday Pause (Paws): For The New Year

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back, relax, and reflect on the past year. Or not.

For me, the most stand out thing in the past year was the unexpected death of my sister. I miss her dearly. I had an ornament made this Christmas in her honor.
