Grateful for Canine Companions

I am grateful on this day,

Monday, 20th December 2010,

for

Canine Companions ~

My two boys

Dougal&Jasper

have made many appearances

here on 'finding my bliss'

but how could I complete my gratitude

without giving these boys

a mention?

Dougal came into our lives

unexpectedly, at a time

when we were experiencing turmoil!

His personality?

We say he is his 'own dog,'

knows what he wants and goes for it!

As a puppy he made his escape quite a few times.

Sometimes when we go for a walk in the

deserted local country park at night

he will decide 'he's not going'

and puts the 'brakes on'

so we leave him,

he waits there

until

we return.

He's very stubborn, clever, sensitive and almost human!

He is totally loyal to me,

keeps guard of me always.

Jasper, Dougal's offspring

on the other hand

is a complete softy.

He's very obedient, always wants to be cuddled,

he loves you to sit holding his paw,

never strays from my side.

These two boys have brought me such pleasure,

every morning as I awake

and lay stroking them

I think to myself

how

grateful I am

they are in my life.

'BLISS'

dear sue,
i love how tender hearted you are. i have a sentinel too. a cat so spotted black and white he appears to be wearing cow pajamas. i am so grateful for his companionship. he is always willing to nap beside me when i am ill. purrrfect that he is always in his jammies and ready to sleep!
our pets are so much more than words convey.
reassuring us that we truly are never alone.

so glad for your happiness.....so grateful for you in my life.

I'm grateful for these canine companions also. They give us such pleasure. I am grateful that you give them a comfortable home, a dog-heaven when I sometimes can't because of my living and work arrangements. Love C xxx

Gathering Myself

Today I'm taking a little me time, doing what I love to do, just digital doodling. My mind has been on dolls, motherhood, Mary and the coming season. Recently an acquaintance posted about ' Rag Doll ', this is me at the moment, I feel a bit like a rag doll, the stuffing has been knocked out a little. So I'm taking time to just be, to gather myself, to see where I can patch things up a bit, maybe a dash of rouge will do the trick! I'm giving myself some 'Mary mother love'. I'm sending back my thanks via Virgin a Day Recuerda mi Corazon I once had a sweet little doll, dears, The prettiest doll in the world; Her cheeks were so red and so white; dears, And her hair was so charmingly curled. But I lost my poor little doll, dears, As I played in the heath one day; And I cried for her more than a week, dears; But I never could find where she lay. I found my poor

Hello

A friendly street light illuminates the dark path as does bright hellos! Just dropping in dears to say hello to all at Haiku my Heart, everyone in the haiku home, to say you are never far away from my thoughts those of you in the circle of friends in the birthplace of my ongoing love for small words with large meaning. Have a lovely weekend... love from foxysue Recuerda mi Corazon

Navigating Home

Well here I am again! Wonder of wonders that I am even showing up at all in this little blog wilderness having uprooted my faithful old friend Finding my Bliss by way of messing up the template! The one who safely sailed me through Bloglandia for all of those years was interfered with in an abrupt manner (see previous post). I know it may sound silly but I feel like I am grieving for what was my sanctuary and residence, I am feeling kind of lost with nothing familiar to cling to, but alas I do have one place that is very much like home and so there I will share a little haiku with my friends... By way of haiku navigate a place called home the 'heart' gathering... On the subject of home and the insecurity of having no solid ground to tread on, that's where I am finding myself at present as I'm in the throws of purchasing a new home and going through a very sticky patch with the legalities of it all. It's going at a snail's pace and I'
