A kiss to make me better

I'm sick AGAIN.

The last time I remember

being this sick this often,

was almost 12 years ago,

when I was pregnant with Ashley.

I spent the day on the couch

with a fever ranging from 103.3

to 100.7 depending on how long ago

I had taken the three Tylenols

that kept me relatively comfortable.

So the animals gathered around me.

Even the dogs spent some time

lying in front of the couch.
They always make you feel they care,

no matter what.

As rotten as i felt

it still made me smile.....

practicing for halloween

Today Miss Ellie

was posing in the sun room

by the Halloween decorations.

She was letting the skeleton hand

scratch her back and face.

Does she not look like

she is practicing saying

"Halloween"?

Her little mouth is in the "lo" position

And what about that "frightening " stance?....

Better beware!

Or maybe she is giving us her rendition

of Diana Ross' "Stop in the name of Love"

Frightening in itself!

She makes me smile....

Meet Miss Ellie

Have you ever had a pet

that is special in a way
you can't really explain?
Almost a psychic communication
between the two of you.
Something intangible that makes this pet
unlike any other.
Miss Ellie is that pet for me.
We have 9 pets now,
and countless before them,
but the second I looked in her little face
I knew.......
She was mine and I was hers.
everyday she makes me smile
warms my heart
and fills my soul with love.
