BFF ~ Best Furry Friends

When a new dog you meet,
with a snarl you may greet.

smile a

Invitations to play
will go a long way,

smile b

or sharing a tree
where you both can go pee.

smile c

A trip to the coast,
getting sand in your coats;

smile e

by the end of the day
a best friend you have made.

smile d

Dogs that smile make me smile, too.

Weekend Wildcard: Cuteness Break

1 WILDCARD

This past week has been a tempest of chaos on many fronts and in many parts of the world. We are in the midst of very stressful times, and with 24/7 media, it is easy to become overwhelmed by all the crazy stuff going on these days.

While it’s imperative to stay engaged — at whatever level seems right at the moment –, it’s also necessary to step back sometimes, unclench my jaws…

and look at photos of cute pets.

I know, I know… Facebook… Instagram… blogs… they’re glutted with fuzzy/furry/feathered little faces.

But you know what? I’m going to happily and shamelessly add to that glut. I’m going to indulge myself in cuteness overload. My blood pressure will thank me, my jaws might stop aching, and I might even lose that recently acquired eyelid tic.

Here’s hoping.

(BTW: Today is National Dog Day, but we’re going to let a couple of cats slip in here, too.)

Under the Full Moon

We all know that seemingly ordinary folks turn into werewolves during full moons, right? Well, they’re not the only ones to transform.

Take my seemingly innocent dog Chules for example. He loves to go out and explore in the moonlight.

28-reverted

But sometimes… he morphs into:

a charging bear

28-zombie

or a lone wolf

28-lone-wolf

howling at the moon

28-howling-at-the-moon-2

or maybe a rearing stallion

28-rearing-stallion

or a zombie!

28-bear

Scariest of all is when he turns into

a hyena!

28-hyena

Fortunately, once the full moon begins to wane, he turns back into his lovable self.

28-1-start

What creatures do you see when you venture out on a full moon?
