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

Morning has Broken

Yesterday the black dog came to visit me, the same black dog who used to visit Winston Churchill. When my daughter came around, she could see the black dog had turned up too and that I was completely at his mercy. She made her leave with a simple kiss and goodbye, "hope he goes soon", I nodded in agreement. For when he's around he completely demands my attention and there's no shaking him loose! On retiring I sternly told the black dog I didn't understand the reason for his visit and that I thought I had sat with him for long enough and to be gone in the morning! *** I've not seen him so far, this morning thank goodness !!! It is the beginning of a brand new day, I am grateful for each day of my life... I was at a funeral on Friday, to say we'd anticipated a sad day all turned out most beautifully.... my favourite hymn was sung 'Morning has Broken' On this brand new day I'm sitting here tapping the k...

What to Do?

Jamie Ridler asks in Wishcasting Wednesday - How would you like to spend some time? Good question for me at this time of year as I usually embark on some course or other for the winter months ahead, and as usual I'm not sure? I go through familiar questions, what do I really love and would like to spend time pursuing? I've got qualifications in Fine Art and my heart is in photography, graphics, printmaking etc. But I'm torn because I'm also interested in Personal Development and have a yearning to share what I've learned so far with others in some way, especially on-line? So what do I do? How do I spend some time doing what I want to do, don't know, not sure but one thing I do know is that I need to spend more time puzzling it out? Or will it just come to me? Do I spend more time meditating upon these ideas??? For other wishcaster wishes visit Jamie Ridler Studios
