Before & After

How do you all like my new look...am I TOO CUTE or what?

 

I had better be after the "ruckus" I caused here!!!!

Main Entry: ruck·us
Pronunciation: \ˈrə-kəs also ˈrü- or ˈru̇-\
Function: noun
Etymology: probably blend of ruction and rumpus
Date: circa 1890

Our Ma REALLY is mad at me today...... been muttering about how noone did anything around our home while she was away and had ten times the amount of work to do when she got back....been going around like a chicken ...a very ANGRY chicken....

 

Yup...madder than I ever saw her!
Yesterday we had to go to the vettie, cause me & my brother had an itchy bumpy rash on our skin..nasty looking stuff. After the vettie ordeal and the humongous bill, we ( well Ma decided), that we had to cut my hair at home........whew.....it took her over an hour to get this far!



Wanna know why I am smirking?
I chewed a hole in the kitchen floor right before zhe came back..........ya gotta see how big I made it now! Pa thinks that I was helping them along to get the new linoleum..........

 

YIKES!!!!!!

 

THEN Ma went out to get the paper and didn't know I was right behind her...............BOOM.........found an opening in the front and down the road I went......how cool was that...like a gazelle leaping along the road...I thought it waz the Yellow Brick Road ...you know the one that Toto pranced down????

 

Fortunately a nice bunch of people cornered me ( did I say NICE?)

 

I think I'm in the dog house BIG TIME now. Ma told me I can't take my leash off in the house anymore til the REAL fence goes up in front...not the temporary one, which we know I can get through now whenever I want! )My brother G-dog(aka SAINT ANGUS by Ma now)

 

told me not to try it but I did anyway....now I have to suffer in silence..........well, not REALLY in silence......I can't hold back that ARRRRRRROOOOOOOOO when I gotta let it out

Happy 71st anniversary to our pals Dorothy and Toto ( and their good buddies 2!)

 

Wordless Wednesday (almost ;o)

The Light The End Of The Tunnel

All I can tell you patient blogger buddies....

 

 

 

...........we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel..

 

 

...REAL LIGHT!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A peaceful place to dream, to pray, to just be.....

 

Honestly ALL WEEK my mother kept telling me to slow down or I would get sick....Mom knows best and was right. Once again I thought I could undertake a major project and keep on going on just determination....not...well at least Gus will keep me company on the couch for a couple of days!

 

 

 

 

That's if he ever moves over! I keep telling him that Becky will be here before he knows it...I think poor Gus thinks that Becky will be coming via the TV ....oh boy!

Hope you all had a great weekend...am heading to crash on the couch with a bunch of pillows, a nice hot cup of tea with honey and lemon, and my scottie dug ;>)

For Java

We have all made the journey, some way too many times....we do so, despite the pain it brings.
We do this, because the joy that they bring to our lives cannot be measured.
For all of the wonderful members of the Rocky Creek Scottie clan, know that Angus and our clan are thinking of you. Java will be waiting....at the Bridge....

The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

In Memory Of Renee

In her memory, this post is dedicated....for Renee, for her family, for all of those who have been touched by her life. I only knew her for a brief amount of time. I can only hope that the following prayer reflects what I feel she is saying to those left behind. Thank you Renee....so blessed to have met you.

An Indian Prayer

I give you this one thought to keep,
I'm with you still. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone
I am with you still, in each new dawn.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand there at my grave an cry
I am not there, I did not die.
