For those of you wondering, I picked up her poop after I was done recording and placed it in the puppy business bin right up the block. We are courteous around these parts. 🤣😂😆
I pray the upcoming new year will be what you need and want it to be. May there be many blessings raining down upon you, your family, and your friends.
Be kind to one another. Love one another. Try to understand each other. Refuse to let hate win.
Happy Saturday, beautiful people!
Peace and blessings.
Jernee: a few years back (five, to be exact) as we celebrated her being introduced to some new toys.
She was a bit more mobile back then and got much more excited, too. Now, she just looks about sort of with it and not with it, too.
But … she’s still bringing me so much joy. I hope this video does exactly that for you, also.
Peace and blessings.
She approached the Caution!/Attention! Wet Floor sign as if she knew it; as if they were old friends.
She sniffed it, then turned to face me, and shook her head as a show of disapproval. I guess they can’t be friends after all.
😆😂🤣
There’s never a dull moment with this little monster. NOT ONE!
Originally shared on Instagram.
The Little Monster has been sick for about a week, and she’s feeling so much better today. I snapped the photo above yesterday after she jumped onto my chair and got cozy atop the electric blanket.
I guess she’s back to her regularly scheduled antics! 😂😆🤣
We have a follow-up with her Vet’s office on Tuesday for labs and also a recheck on what had been going on with her (she’s prone to getting hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, but taking Famotidine when the beginning symptoms occur typically keeps her from being hospitalized). And I am all for keeping her out of the hospital. That last hospitalization cost me $996.56, and I will NEVER forget that total.
Because she’s on the mend, I wanted to pen a series of senryu to her existence. She keeps me happy, and I am so grateful to have her around 15 years later.
Happy Sunday, beautiful people!
May it be full of peace and joy and genuine love.
Saturday, I had to meet up with our training crew from work to do some Christmas/Holiday shopping for our In-Office Agents and new Hires.
We had a blast! We went to a breakfast spot aptly named First Watch. The food was delicious and my drink (Morning Meditation) was also. We had lovely conversations and discussions as we savored the selections we chose.
We left the place with full bellies and hearts ready to stuff Christmas stockings with various do-dads and trinkets and candy!
Sam’s Club was the next destination, Target, then The Dollar Tree.
Overall, I am exhausted from the outing, but I truly enjoyed myself. And Jernee was so mad that I left without her; you can tell the judgment is being laid on thick from the expression on her face in the photos below.
Later, my cousins came over to visit. My cousin Akua (Ah-Quay-Ah) decided it would be a great idea to walk across the street and get her nails done.
Her mother-in-law and I enjoyed watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon while she was away.
She also left Jernee’s second favorite dog/cousin, Drake, with us. Isn’t he handsome?!
Here’s hoping you had an amazing Saturday, and that your Sunday will be a gift straight from heaven.
Peace and blessings, beautiful people.
Yesterday was Get-Myself-Together-Day, so today consisted of walking/exercising, reading, writing, watching TV, cooking, and interacting with a few friends.
And of course, it was Groom-Jernee-Day today as well.
The Little Monster loves to be clean but doesn’t like the process to achieve said cleanness. However, she has a mommy who is a bit of a neat freak and also rather anal-retentive, so she has to deal with it.
I began her grooming session by giving her a trim. Being that she’s older, her hair doesn’t grow as much as it used to. Trimming her doesn’t take long, but she gets restless, and that tends to throw a kink in things.
We managed to get this part of the grooming done in about twenty-five minutes. I bathed her; washed her twice and made sure all the remnants of soap had been rinsed thoroughly.
And then, I towel and blow-dried her hair, brushing it in between.
When it was all said and done, I took her back outside for a short walk and then brought her back upstairs so she could eat a hearty meal. She’s had a full day. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s clean and happy and is sporting a new haircut, too. All is well!
Have a lovely Monday, everyone. Here’s hoping your weekend was as peaceful and relaxing as ours.
Peace and blessings.
