Let’s start out this post with three collages that my wife made a year before her death. She spent hours arranging and re-arranging the photos of all the pets in our married life to make them just right. I now … Continue reading RetComLife #20 – How About Pets?
For this “chill out” Saturday post I thought I would give you a gallery of some of my furry friends in my life. I have had pets all my life. They just seem to be better friends to me than the humankind. They accept me for who I am and give unconditional love which is rare for us human beings to do. Continue reading An Ode To My Furry Friends
For this “arsty” Saturday I thought I would put out some pictures of some of the pets that have been in my life. My wife of 32 years is the epitome of a animal lover. She would rather run into … Continue reading Pets
We lost our beloved Beulah about three years ago now, but I still think of her quite often. She was always entangled in my feet on the couch for the occasional afternoon naps. Whenever I said anything that even remotely sounded like “walk” she would get excited and rush to the door. We decided not to replace her as a new canine member of the household would likely outlive us. I have had pets all my life and although I do love Dexter, our cat, it is just not the same. I even got to admit that I kind of miss … Continue reading Beulah..
One of my great pleasures in life are the pets I have had over my lifetime. So I am including a couple of pictures here in my 5Star post to celebrate them. I have to admit that the picture of me is a little dated. It was taken in 2001 when I still had some hair on my head. Continue reading Pets…
I have always had pets in my life but I didn’t know a uber animal lover until I met my wife. Simply stated she would likely wrap her car around a tree rather than hit a chipmunk crossing the road. We have had a large variety of pets over the years, mostly indoor ones but also a myriad of outdoor critters. I haven’t counted but I pretty sure my wife has more pictures of her pets than she does of me. :) I thought it is about time to show you a small sampling of some of these “loved ones”. … Continue reading Critters…
It’s amazing how our pets can so easily forgive and forget. If only we humans could learn that lesson from them. While I was talking to my wife recently, Dexter our cat proceeded to attack my right foot. He does this on occasion but this time it was annoying and I kicked him off. He took off like a rocket then stopped to give me a glaring look before going into hiding. An hour later while we were sitting on the deck getting our usual dose of the morning sun he came back and everything was forgiven. Our pets just don’t … Continue reading Forgive and Forget…
July 1989 – I have always had pets especially after marrying my wife twenty seven years ago. This was Abigail. Continue reading Oh The Pets….
Seeing a fellow blogger talk about his new pet reminded me that I have been getting too serious on this blog lately. So I thought it was time to kick back on this post and show you one of my best friend. Best friends seem to be hard to come by in my senior years. :) She has been with us for about four years now. Although she weighs in at over sixty pounds she thinks she is a lap dog. This picture was taken a few months ago during our only snow storm that lasted more than a day … Continue reading My Best Friend…
I know some people go through life without any pets. We had some neighbors across the street from us once who I deemed as “neat freaks” . Their house was always so immaculate. They would never have considered pets as they were just dirty little creatures who pooped and otherwise contaminated people’s lives. I always felt sorry for their son who had to grow up without pets in his life. He is grown now and I often wonder is he is also a neat freak. Often times the children turn out to be the opposite of their parents in that … Continue reading A Life Without Pets??
My wife and I have always had pets around our homes. I can’t imagine life without them. So, I have put together this collage of some of our furry, and not so furry, friends. No, we don’t actually have any pet cows but I think if Yvonne could have figured out how to get one in our trunk we would have! :) Continue reading The Pets of my Life…
I thought I would show you a picture of the other member of our family. As shown in this January 2009 photo she just loves the snow. Continue reading My Dog Beulah
