Imperfect, trying to live as He would have me to. Love my family, especially the grandchildren. Love reading, music, cooking, gardening, swimming, kayaking, outdoors, self-care, and time with family, friends, and pets.

It has been a long week for the kids. The hound and the calico were banned from the bedroom as the 12-year-old arrived. She refused to share their bed, she closed the door! the poor hound was forced to sleep on the floor like a dog!! the cat claimed a chair. Furbabies are relieved she has gone home…

After a nighttime bedroom ban, the hound gratefully reclaimed the foot of the bed while the princess continued her peaceful slumber 🥰🐶

My happy hound worked out his nose at Ojibway Park. The icy paths held the footprints of those who went before us…

Late fall sunshine streaming through the trees while leaves struggle to remain in place.. last night‘s adventure was a hockey game in Essex with two beauties.. I actually cannot remember what it was like to be 12, I can remember 10, and 14, but I fear I have lost a couple of years in between🫂

My neighbour’s cat has shown up again, this time sporting a sweater.. he slid down the railing, like it was a slide and walked across the other railing like it was a balance beam… the hound was not impressed!! Arooooo!!

Salmon was the choice for supper, as well as mashed sweet potatoes which she devoured! The food she didn’t consume was repurposed for her grand puppy, carefully chopped up. She is excited for another visitor this evening to bring her a photo of a painting in her room…

My happy hound was so glad to have his domain back to run through!! Two weeks in the kennel was fun, but it’s always nice to be home, especially when friends are there🐶🙂 #rescuehound
