Shy-Monkey - have you seen the beard beenie?

That is hilarious! Oh my gosh the wheels are turning-one of the (lazy) neighbor's claims he only hires someone to clear their driveway when it snows because he can't grow enough facial hair to keep his face warm and he's not about to wear a ski mask and look like a bank robber or peeping tom.

A perfect gift for my SIL for Christmas ! lol

Why God Made Little Girls
Author Unknown

God made the world with towering trees,
Majestic mountains and restless seas.
Then paused and said , "It needs one more thing...
Someone to laugh and dance and sing.
To walk in the wood and gather flowers...
To commune with nature in quiet hours."

So God made little girls
With laughing eyes and bouncing curls,
With joyful hearts and infectious smiles,
Enchanting ways and feminine wiles.
And when He'd completed the task He'd begun.
He was pleased and proud of the job He'd done.
For the world, when seen through little girl's eyes
Greatly resembled Paradise.

...............
I've always loved this one.

OMGosh!!   That turtle is like a little tank with a mouth to bite someone instead of a gun to shoot them.  I would never go barefoot around that guy, that's for sure!    I have two box turtles  "Silent Bob" and "Jay" and I've never seen either of them aggressive.

Dogs know .......
This really is  a great   story!


Lucky Dog....

Anyone who has pets will really like this. You'll like it even if you don't
And you may even decide you need one!

 Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named 'Lucky.'   Lucky was a real character.
 
Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they
Would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy.   Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing.

Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys.     Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box.

It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer.   Something told her she was going to die of this disease......in fact;  she was just sure it was fatal.

She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders.   The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky.   A thought struck her....what would happen to Lucky?   Although the three-year-old
Dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through.
 
 
 If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought.  He won't understand
That I didn't want to leave him!  The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.

The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks.   Jim took
Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable.

Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital.   When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom.  Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap.

Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called.
It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed.

 
When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong.   She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot.   But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem.  She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned!
 
 
 While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life.

He had covered her with his love.

Mary forgot about dying.   Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day.   It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free.   Lucky.   He still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.
 
Remember.....live every day to the fullest.  Each minute is a blessing from God.  And never forget....the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.   They are the ones that care for us.

If you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours!   Live simply.. Love seriously.   Care deeply.   Speak kindly.   Leave the rest to God .
 
 
A small request
All you are asked to do is keep this circulating.

Dear God, I pray for the cure of cancer.
Amen
All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it is only to one
More person, in memory of anyone you know that has been struck down by cancer or is still fighting their battle.

Thank you. This has so much truth in it. Ask anyone who's been through it and their pet is a lifeline.

CONGRATS KLAAS`!!! She is so beautiful and all that hair wow!

Just wait until tomorow, when you go hold her in person. Bring a box of tissues because you are gonna have happy tears. I know this because I just became a first time grammy the day before you, lol. Mine was born on September 21st and came in at a whopping 9lb 11oz. Too bad we live on opposite ends of the US or they could play together as they grow up.

Here is my new gbaby:

That is crazy! Those poor cats, I'm surprised those cats haven't acted out a plan that leads to the owners to waking up to a turtle mysteriously drowns in toilet.
