Good morning friends; it's a bright new day filled with lots of possibilities. I realize if I  had heard that when I was still working, I would not have been too happy. Of course, that was before I sought to be content with all that life holds. Have I mastered that-absolutely not, but contentment is a choice and once you practice it and begin counting your blessings, it is amazing how your attitude changes.

On Saturday night as hubby and I watched t.v. we had to laugh because we each had a Bichon on our lap, in almost the same position.  Here is Hunter, claiming me as his momma, although I didn't get a photo of him tightly curled up.  These were taken with my phone-hence the blurriness. I wish I could have gotten some photos of them snuggled up together, it just looks like one big white fluff ball. Maybe next week.

Here is Lily, as happy as a clam, nice and warm on hubby's lap. She will be at home until Friday and then will return as her pack heads to Ca. for a week of r&r. 
I hope you had a great weekend and got to do something you enjoy.
Hugs, Noreen & Hunter

Fun Furry Times

Last weekend, while hubby was away, Hunter & I went out to our oldest daughter's home to visit and let the pups play. Hunter loves hanging out with Lily; they play so well together and I think there must be something about them being the same size and looking alike.

They are just too cute together; they love playing together as well as kicking back in the shade.  I'm glad that they are so close,not only in proximity but also in temperament.  Hunter loves being with other dogs, especially small ones.  Yesterday afternoon, hubby and I went over to some friends who have a really old Cairn named Hobbs.  He gets so excited when Hunter comes to his house and although he can't really play, he does take Hunter around the yard showing him the sights.  Next door to Hobbs is a Goldendoodle and Hunter just doesn't know what to make of this big energetic dog.  I think it the pup were calm or smaller, Hunter would be at the fence wanting to play but when you add in big, bouncy and pretty wild, Hunter keeps his distance.  I really need to look into puppy classes for more socialization; Hunter is somewhat timid and I want him to learn to socialize well.  Also in the morning yesterday, another acquaintance came over to walk her small dog with Kam & Lexie and Hunter & I. The dog is a Teddy-Bear, cross between a Bichon and Shih Tzu and Hunter thought it was great having him along.  I do notice that if other dogs are on walks for us, Hunter is willing to go for a longer walk than if it is just us. 
In addition, I finally found a food he likes-Royal Canine; this is the food that Lily eats and I caught him eating hers up.  I wondered if it was just because we were at their house but he continues to eat it here. Yippee!!!  Now I've got two bags of kibble and I might call the Red Cross and see if they could use it at the evacuation center; otherwise it will go to the Humane Society to feed strays.
Hope you have a wonderful day.
Joy to you.  Noreen & Hunter
