Today, August 26th, is a great day for all of the pooches in the world. Today is National Dog Day. Today we shall recognize and honor all dogs, to appreciate the importance of having them in our lives. Whether you have them as a personal pet, a working dog or you work in a place homing dogs, take this day and let them know how much they are valued. Even if you don’t have a dog of your own, perhaps today is the day to fix that and adopt a dog for your household.
Remember, dogs as well as other pets ask for nothing but love in return of you taking care of them. They are always there when you are having a good or a bad day. They lean their shoulder when you have a good cry and make you laugh with all of their antics. They keep you company and protect their home. Be sure today and every day – give them some extra hugs and cuddles and perhaps a favorite treat or two.
Hello friends. How was your week? We continue to live in hell here in the south. The weather has gotten much better. It’s still so very hot. Of course, we have had a couple of thunderstorms here/there. And yes, my Mellow Shirt is great comfort. But these storms don’t bring much relief in the heat. Being in the south with all of this humidity, after the storms it is so much worse with the clammy heat. I know I talk about the heat a lot but it’s hot! I can’t even walk to the mailbox with mom without huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf. Relief has to be soon… I hope.
This week I thought I would leave you with some of my philosophy in a picture. I hope that you enjoy it my sweet friends. Here’s to a fantastic weekend with lots of snuggles and extra treats!
Welcome my Friends to August – Bacon’s Show and Tell
This month we are talking about that ONE thing that you had growing up that impressed your life all of these years that you still think about it? Something that maybe perhaps you still have somewhere put away in your home? Something that when you look back at and think of the times you had with this ONE thing that it makes you smile so wide and your heart just glows?
Today I want to talk about one of mom’s things that has touched her all of her life. Something that she has kept and would never do without. See this little dresser – three deep drawers with foxes/bears on the front. This little dresser has been in mom’s life close to 46 years. You see, shortly after mom was born her daddy built this little dresser for her. And mom has kept it all these years.
It has lots of dings and scratches and some of the stickers on the front are even starting to come off. But still mom has it and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. It sits in my and Houdini’s room and we treasure it too.
In fact, currently it is being used to store all of Houdini’s clothes. So you can kind of say that it’s second generation now doing it’s thing. ❤
