Thought for the day ……

Good Morning and Welcome to Thursday the 21st day of January, 2016.

I thought it would be fun to check out previous posts from years gone by.

This one is from today’s date but back in 2013.

To be honest I was going to share the one from this date in 2012 but the story made me cringe (something that scares me).

So I picked another one.

I think it is good to go back and see what was happening and what I/we were thinking.

I hope that you have an awesome Thursday.

By the way, just wanted to share that Alvin’s sister did not forget his birthday ….. she gave him a big bag of treats ….. he was so happy.

He loves them and is grateful to have such a wonderfully thoughtful sister.

Good Monday morning and welcome to January 21st, 2013.

We received another covering of snow last night, and it was still snowing when Alvin went out around 5:00 a.m.

I love how Alvin stands in the doorway ….. he sniffs ….. “pretend sneezes” and then if he really has to go …. he will go outside.

Meanwhile the temperature in the house has dropped by two degrees.  ( Just kidding ).

But he surely does take several minutes working up the courage to go outside.

Most especially when it is cold or raining.

I do not blame him …… poor little guy and all the other animals that have to do the same.

What’s new with you this Monday morning?

Did you have a quiet weekend?

Spent relaxing? or did you Work?

I did a mix of both and I suspect that most of you did as well.

Well today is my early start so have to run.

I hope that you stay warm and safe on this day.

I hope that you are happy, healthy and abundant.

Take Care.

Special Hello to: all those new pet owners ….. thank you.

Always, Carol and Alvin

Have a fun Thursday and spend a couple of minutes in reflection.

Looking back can be interesting.

Special Hello to: my fellow bloggers ….. isn’t it great to have a place to go back in time?

Always, Carol and Alvin

Thought for the day…..

Good Wednesday Morning and Welcome to the 5th day of June, 2013.

It is a gloriously beautiful morning here in Edmonton.

Earlier when Alvin and I were out for our morning stroll the air was filled with the smell of slightly fresh cut grass and there was a crispness surrounding us.

The birds chirped and sang their songs ….. a bunny hopped by and disappeared into a neighbourhood on the other side of the lake.

As we walked the sun rose higher and higher those brilliant colours filling the morning sky.

Truly the early morning is so great.

 

So my thought for this day is this:  if your pet could talk …. so that you could understand him/her…..what do you think they would be saying?

I can only guess about the words and thoughts that would be flowing from Mr. Alvin.

Somedays it would be “Ah, come on.  Please play with me.”  or maybe “quit being so chintzy with the vegetables” and of course I am more than generous.

He is quite spoiled…..which is likely not a great thing but I look at it this way.  My daughter was spoiled with whatever I could give and do for her (which wasn’t lots by today’s standards).

Oh well, I can only imagine what he would say.

Likely somedays he would just be laughing ……

I know that his sneezes are when he’s not getting his way ….. or he wants something faster than I can deliver.

Maybe if we pay closer attention to what is going on we could figure out what they are thinking.

I love my Alvin no matter what he thinks or does.

He is so cute.  One quick story.  Several weeks ago I slipped on some ice ….. sprained my knee …. I went to physiotherapy and was given exercises to do which I have been doing ….. anyway some of them I do on my (our) bed ….. every time I move the pillows to lay down and do them …. he jumps up … walks over to my face …. licks it …. and then snuggles right close…… same thing every time.  So cute.  Ah, my boy.  He loves his Momma.

 

Well time to fly here.  Work, you know.

Have a great day.

Special Hello to:  pet owners ….. love them as they unconditional love you …..

 

Always, Carol and Alvin

Good Morning and Welcome to Wednesday, January 30, 2013.

Well we have passed the bitter cold day of yesterday and it feels a bit warmer this morning.

It is snowing here in Edmonton.  It is funny how much we as human beings talk about weather.

I was reminded by someone that sometimes my blog sounds like a weather report for Edmonton.

But I guess we write what we observe and usually that is the first thing that I see in the morning as I write.

 

I always think Alvin looks so cute when he comes in from outside with the snow glistening on his coat (his natural one).

He always makes me smile in the morning as he wants to go out but hesitates at the doorway.

He sniffs the cold air and sounds like he is sneezing as he decides ….

But when you have to go you have to go and no matter how cold it is …..

I always have to giggle when people at work are sharing their similar pet stories.

Oh, the puppies.

I am glad that for Alvin and all the other puppies that have good homes .. that their only hardship is having to “go outside.”

I wished that all of the dogs and cats had good homes and were well looked after …..

 

On this beautiful Wednesday morning I hope that life is treating you kindly.

I hope that you have all that you need and a little of what you “want” …. because you deserve it.

I hope that when you wake up to a warm house you think “wow, I am so blessed to have heat” on this cold day.

I hope that when you have your bath or shower you think “I am grateful to be clean” and have running water.

I hope that when you put your clothes on you think “this is great, I am so lucky to have these clean, nice things to wear.”

I hope that when you eat breakfast you think “I am so grateful to have good food to eat.”

Remember that even if you are not a millionaire ….. or live in a big house ….. or have five cars in the garage …. you are BLESSED.

We are lucky …. you are lucky.

I wish you the best day ever.

Spread the wealth ….. be kind …. smile ….. lend a hand.

 

Special Hello to: all those pet owners and kind people ….. you rock.

 

Always, Carol and Alvin

 

 

 

Thought for the day….

Good Thursday, June 7th, 2012 …. morning.

Here in the City of Edmonton the sky is a brilliant blue and the sun is up.

SUNNY DAY ……

I am going to keep this short for today as I want to spend some extra time with my Alvin before I leave for work.

He had a bit of a “off” morning so I want to snuggle with him ….

Even doggies have off days.

So I hope that you all have a grand day ….

Special Hello to: all those pet owners ……

 

Always, me and Alvin ….
