Touching Tuesday’s

My lovely parents and their sweet little dog left my home yesterday-taking my heart with them. To ease the pain of missing them, I threw myself into cleaning the house, changing the sheets, washing the towels and piling the dog hair into the trashcan.

Although Max had entertained himself by pestering the dog for the last two weeks, I think he was a little torn up to see her go.

He spent most of the afternoon looking for the dog, meowing from room to room. He needed a little reassurance from his best friend, Bianca.

She was more than happy to cuddle up to her best friend, clean his dirty paws and fall asleep purring in his gigantic muscly arms.

It was pretty touching.

Observing the Sabbath

This is my plan for what will be going on in our house today. After a visit from the parents, several family get togethers, church and a picnic in the park-Biceps and I need some down time.

For a time, there will be snuggling.

Then, if one of us is a little rowdy (Max), we will go to our separate corners.

And while I write, Biceps will probably fall asleep on my lap and twitch his way to dreamland.

I call this a pretty perfect way to observe the Sabbath. Even God rested, why shouldn’t we?

Captions Needed-Cute Animal Photos

I’m a big dork, in case you haven’t figured that out. I love making up captions for pictures of cute animals. I thought maybe I would see what you, my dear readers, would come up with for the following three photos.

No. 1

My first thought was, “What do you say about a drink back at my place?”

What do you think?

No. 2

This is my BFF’s dog, Mabel. She happens to be one of my favorite pups.

I wonder, what is that tiny head thinking about?

No. 3

And finally, this is Max-totally passed out. I have a feeling he’s thinking, “Leave me alone.” But, I could be wrong.

What do you think?

It’s his birthday and he’ll sleep if he wants to….

Guess who’s birthday it is today?

Maxwell has officially turned one.

And this is how he is choosing to spend his big day.

I can’t blame the guy. I’d prefer to spend my birthday much the same-catching up on my sleep.

We are so glad you are a part of our lives, Max. Happy Birthday (said in a hushed tone)!
