Good Morning and Welcome to Saturday the 6th day of October, 2018.
Yay, it is the weekend.
The weekend that we give thanks.
We should always give thanks.
Our buddy Teddy will be coming this morning to spend the day with us.
Alvin needs a hair trim (mostly his paws) and a bath.
He does not like the hair cut.
Bath he tolerates.
Looking to fulfil my part of our collaborative art project (with my daughter).
Laundry is already starting.
Again Mr. Alvin wanted to get up to stay up at 3:00 a.m. ISH.
ARGH.
But I took him downstairs and he did go outside (so that was good).
Then back upstairs to BED where after many minutes of saying “back to bed” etc. – he finally curled up and stayed there until almost 7:00 a.m.
He is quite the character.
This morning I decided as it is Thanksgiving and part of being grateful is LOVE.
If you are in gratitude you are in love.
I wrote this back in August 2010 and it is in memory of my grand-pups Elton and Penny who have since passed but are NOT FORGOTTEN.
Even Alvin remembers when I mention their names.
Wags his tail.
We miss them every day.
So grateful that they were a part of our lives.
I am so grateful that I lived out here for a few years and was able to spend lots of time with them both.
Have an awesome Saturday.
Supposed to be +10 degrees celsius today.
It was nice when I raked the leaves from the front lawn.
I did both mine and my neighbours to the tune of three bags full of leaves.
I enjoyed every moment of that experience.
Likely the most leaves we have had to this point.
Mostly my leaves.
I love FALL.
