Pups and Politics

Emma the bird dog, or as daughter Patricia said in the caption "some bird dog!". Look at that expression, bet if she were let loose she would show them she had a hunter's instinct and that big bundle of feathers would be floating up and above as she would wrestle with it and shake it to pieces. Emma loves to shake, rattle and roll and is reaching pre-teen years in which she refuses to pay attention . . . that is until YOU get her attention. She's a beauty and given a bit more puppy time she will grow into a wonderful companion, although Pat wonders just how long that is going to take as she came in out of the rain yesterday and made a bee-line for the new couch, shook her wet fur and let mud fly creating a big mess to be cleaned up. Puppies are a lot of fun if you can only be patient until they finally grow up. Um . . . seems we say that about children!!



Nope, I do not like what is going on in our political world either. The news often surprises us with the words written about 'change'. Well this President did promise change. He never said we would like the 'change', nor does he seem to care. I am reminded of a mother who stands over her child waiting for the last pea to go down, when she turns around the pea disappears and the child goes out to play while the dog burps from being overfed. Life is strange and we usually find what goes around comes around, so our future can be full of changes if we get out and vote in the next election.

So today, as you ponder the latest news and scratch your head in amazement and roll your eyes at the latest news, take time to pray for all kinds of changes . . . a change in the weather to start with; a change to healthier eating; and most of all a change in our attitudes . . . what is that saying about how many muscles it takes to make a frown or a smile? . . . the smile wins out every time. Look "Ma" no wrinkles!! Make your day a good one . . . work at it and see how easy it really is. Hugs to all.
