New friends

Also while in Maine...

We visited some new friends and got to meet the entire farm. I got a little excited and forgot to keep taking photos and these were the only good ones, but how cute is that little cow? She is the definition of sweetness! (as is Sassy, who's face you can see close up!)

Hello, Kitty

This kitty just showed up one day at the back door.

We have no clue as to whether she is a stray or not, but she is awfully friendly and cuddly and doesn't seem to care about the dogs. Actually she just goes right up and starts rubbing around their legs.

She keeps trying to non-chelantly walk into the house with us when we go in, I wish I could let her in.

But truth be told I fear for her, for if she were to get in, oh the damage my little birdy would inflict!

In reality, I worry about the safety of Posey if a cat were to be in the house. I leave her cage open for her to play on top or climb around while I am home.

Oh, poor kitty! She is so sweet!

And if I had a barn... Well, I would most certainly let her stay there.

(Since I refuse to have an indoor cat again... Litter boxes = YUCK!)

Until then, I will sneak her some food and go out and give her cuddles when I have a chance.

All that aside, I think (I hope) she might have a real home and is just curious/friendly/adventurous since she doesn't seem to be starving and wasn't soaking wet last night when she came to visit during the storm.

So that has been going on.

Now I am off to try and avoid doing my taxes.

Ugh!

Hope you all have a joyful Wednesday!

The contents of this moment...

...sitting out on the little deck of my new apartment for the first time. I am thoroughly enjoying the sun and the warm weather.

...drinking tea while working on some new crocheted crystal necklaces.

...giving the animals some love and snuggles while we listen to the birds sing.

...sun gazing through the leaves of the tree that overhangs the corner of my deck.

What are the contents of your day?

darling beasties

Some cuteness that made me squeeeel with delight

and that I just had to share with you,

my loves!

I love animals,

and sometimes (ok, many times) I prefer animals over people.

I feel very lucky that I have a very close and strong bond with my animal friends.

It is so important to experience the closeness and companionship of animals...

That is why I love seeing photos like these.

To me, it represents a strength and independence seeing a woman (in particular) with a close bond with an animal companion.

I love my dogs and I have an especially close bond with my female dog, Veda (who is actually more like a human that most humans are!).

We go pretty much everywhere together,

do pretty much everything together,

and I know that she is always there for me regardless of any situation or emotion.

I whole heartedly appreciate the undying love that she gives me,

all the time!

In return, besides love, she is probably most spoiled pup on the block,

but hey, she is worth it!

I know I feel stronger with her around.

I know I always have someone to cuddle with if I am tired, cold, sick or sad.

What an amazing friend!

Do you have any "pets".

Tell me about your relationships/bonds.

And please remember to support your local shelters (especially the "No Kill" ones!)!!!

There are so many animals that need safe and loving homes!

Lovely and Sweet

Just a collection of photos that I think a lovely and sweet.
No particular rhyme or reason.
Just like them...

As much of a mess as they make of our trash, I still think raccoons are super cute!
