"If Being Groomed is Wrong I Don't Wanna Be Right" on a Wordless Wednesday . . .

A Surprise Summer Rainstorm . . .

This morning we were treated to a sudden and unexpected summer thunderstorm. It was the kind of storm that is fast and furious and takes the humidity out of the air.

Sparky loved watching the rain come down from his perch in the front window although he ran to me when the thunder scared him. Such a baby!!







There's been lots of heat and humidity so far this summer and not so much rain so this was a much welcomed surprise!!

I took this picture thru the front window. So much for the towels drying over the porch railing!!

Thank you Mother Nature!! Now our bird bath is filled and our flowers are watered. My "TO DO" list just got a little shorter. :)

Dinner Guests and Doggie Surgery . . .

Last night, we had three of our most favorite people in the world over for dinner. My sister in law and our two beautiful nephews blessed us with their presence for a few hours. Jim cooked a wonderful dinner and, if I do say so myself, I made a mean salad and dessert. I was in the mood for pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream. Apparently so was everyone else because there was nothing left by the end of the night!!

My poor baby nephew had three shots earlier in the morning so he wasn't feeling very well. We got some belly laughs and a few toothless smiles out of him but he really just wanted to be held and comforted by his Mommy.

Andre, our three year old nephew, had a blast with his cousins, as usual. We think he's becoming more used to the dogs, too, which is a wonderful thing.

I guess it's kind of difficult to be intimidated by a dog that looks like this. Poor Sparky had surgery yesterday morning and has to wear a cone on his head for a week.

We're praying that this curbs his desire to do those "things" that male dogs like to do before they're fixed. : ) I'll keep you posted. HA HA!!

Happy Thursday to you all!!

Some Things Change and Some Things Never Do . . .

First, here is the change . . .

Remember that skinny little stray cat that we started to feed last year? She's not a skinny little stray anymore!! Now she's a bottomless pit that likes to sleep on my computer chair and on my recliner. Here she is mid-yawn. What a life!!

Remember her baby that my next door neighbor adopted? Well, he's grown up a bit and has since relocated to our house. I've apologized to my neighbors. I guess he just wants to be close to his Mama. : ) Here he is, laying under the bureau in the living room. He's taken over one of the dog beds.

Now for the things that never change . . .

Remember the chocolate lab and cockapoo that like to sleep all day and be lazy little lumps? Well, they're still here!!

These pics were taken at 10 am.

And these pics were taken at 12 noon.

And now the cats are turning into couch potatoes, too.

Like I said, some things never change!! : )
