1. need a lift?

A bit of a lift would be nice for this day, this Labrador's laughter just might be the way!

When you purchase an item from MY STORE, 10% of your purchase price will be donated to my favorite animal charities; Last Chance Animal Rescue and Horses Haven, both in lower MI. Which charity the donation goes to, will depend on the item purchased and I will love you forever from the bottom of my little black heart. ...and even if you don't purchase anything from me, PLEASE go to their site and make a donation! These animals deserve a chance!
Have a seat in the yard by the bonfire, with a warm mug of something (and your laptop) and browse through the pages of my website

2. CONTEST WINNER

Good Afternoon:

Well, looks like we've got a contest winner...





Homer did her best to pick out a number with her nose, but she just couldn't bend down quite far enough, so she decided to use her paw instead...



and the winner is...




the writer of the 12th comment...



The winner has already been notified and will receive "Rabbit's Curious Day" within the week...



Thank you all so very much for participating. I will be back to my normal blogging tomorrow. I have some photos to share with you of phase one of my studio clean-up.

Until Next Time:

3. UPDATE ON HOMER AND OTHER LOVELY THINGS

Good Afternoon:

Just thought it would be nice to post an update on Homerella. She's still with us and seems to be coming along a bit. I say this carefully, as I've seen this happen before. She's taking these painfully odorous and very large Glucosamine pills. They do seem to loosen her stiff joints a bit, but they appear to upset her tummy some as well. A trade-off of evils, I suppose...

So, we watch and hope for the best, knowing full well that she's 13 and has had a fabulous life.

While rummaging through one of my boxes of vintage photos over the weekend, I found a small box of my all time treasureful photos. I'd like to share one with you. It fascinates me and spooks me all at once. I think the photo calls to be framed and placed on the wall of my new studio. Isn't it a fabulous old photo? It's dated October of 1899.

The Mirrored Soul


I am going to hold dear to this photo. I simply can't let it go, so I won't be listing this in my Vintage Photo Shop

I borrowed a few moments to browse through my backyard this morning. I found Springtime living there....

Plum Blossoms


Nectarine Blossoms


Soon, these abundant and sweetly perfumed blossoms will provide goodies for our sweet tooth! Nectarine cobbler and plum tarts anyone?

4. Dear Old Homer

Good Afternoon:

It's been ever so long since I've had a few spare moments to pamper my blog.

You see, one of our dear family members is not doing so well. Although she's only 13 years old, if the wives tale of "dog years" is true, then really, she's 91 years old.

Dear old Homerella. Our loyal, sweet and silly Labrador Retriever is giving out. As so many large breed dog owners know, those old hips and back legs can become weak and painful in the later years.

Homer joined our family when she was 2-1/2 years young. She was so very playful. Her favorite pastime was chasing bees ~



and rolling and lolling about the patio ~





She loved modeling for my art work ~





She was obedient and always ready to sit for a treat ~



Today, she is still all those things in her heart. The difference is, her body won't allow her to chase bees, sit for a treat or roll about the patio. She is quite thin and her hips and back legs are atrophied ~





She has the look of oldness in her eyes ~



I don't know how much longer she'll be with us, so we are lavishing her with even more attention than usual, and smuggling bits of cheese in her food bowl! Her mind and soul are still strong, as is her appetite. But her body is not so strong. I, on the other hand, am becoming quite strong considering I have been lifting her up to move her about.

So, as we enter the weekend, we are stepping easy and hopeful that she'll still be with us this time next week.

We love you girl.

Until Next Time:

5. PEEK-A-BOO SPRINGTIME

Good Morning:

I don't have a huge amount of time for words today, but I took advantage of the sunshine yesterday morning and snapped some photos. I found that, if I looked close enough, springtime is peeking out all over my yard...

Blossom on my plum tree...



Sparks of yellow on my hill...



Color in my overgrown garden...



Homer enjoyed warming her 12 year old bones in the sun...



Junior posed for a picture...



Have a lovely day~
