Catching Up

in #life7 years ago

It’s amazing how much life can change when you take in a dog. I knew that dogs are much more hands-on than cats, need more attention, and are less aloof. I knew that on an intellectual level. Knowing that in person, and living with it, is a whole new experience.I love my dog. Ari has those light blue eyes, huffing sigh, and wagging tail that invite attention. She is my shadow, greets me like a thirsty desert wanderer finding an oasis when I get home, and loves to snuggle. She is allowing me to enjoy being outside again, to love the laziness, and appreciate the moments of quiet that occur when she is busily gnawing on a marrow bone and giving me and the cat a moment of peace.

My life has been taken over, and I love it.

However, settling into a new schedule has taken some time. We’re still in the thick of training. And things like this blog have taken a back burner – or even a musty corner in the closet – to more pressing things.

I have the fur children. They are what I spoil and love and enjoy. They are what I come home to and work for. They depend on me, and I on them. They give me so much more than I thought they would. We chose each other, it seems. She’s already wormed her way onto the bed and the couch. It didn’t take much… I can be a bit of a pushover when it comes to my furry animal housemates.

Looking forward to a vacation – white sand beaches, here I come. And inspiration for things to write, I hope. I could always use some more of that. I think my inspiration has waned due to the incessant whine of political talk in the air. I am over it already. Am I one of the few completely put off by negative ads? I don’t want to hear how awful the other guy is… I want to hear how amazing YOU are. And how, exactly, you plan to fix things. No vague talking points… I want concrete action. I also want to see grown men and women work together and compromise. No more of this grandstanding, petulant, childish wrangling for the purse-strings. No one wins with the way things are going at the moment. Blah. Politics makes me cranky right now.

I’m going to hug my pets and think of less tiring things.

Greetings, Linda Tanata

I don't know who's prettier, whether it's you or the puppy. I'm glad you like puppies. I have mijne with name Miya and I love her.

Last year I went through bad people stuff that put me right down, generating sad feelings and insomnia. With that, I decided to have my puppy to keep me company. I always wanted to have a dog, but my mother never liked it very much....

Now that I live alone, I can. If I may, I will put a picture for you of the day my puppy arrived and how she is today. Okay?

I was delighted with your sensibility and writing about your animals and I think the same way. They can turn a life.

Thank you for posting and Good morning, Tanata!!!

Your puppy is beautiful bro, very very cute

You have received a @GrumpyCat flag because you or someone else send money to buy votes on your post from an irresponsible non-GrumpyCompliant service.

Some bots like @sneaky-ninja (by @michaeldavid) are acting irresponsibly by selling votes on posts very close to final payout. These votes are sneaky, not promotion and are most of the time placed on low value content.

Sending money to these bots is also financially supporting for-profit only posters (spammers).

To know what voting bot to use, refer to https://steembottracker.com/ and use those that have 3.5 day or less in the "Max Age" column.

Important warning, since @sneaky-ninja has made no effort to improve in more than 4 months, it's vote will still be countered even should they improve his Max Age setting.

Hi my dear! Beautiful dog! And gorgeous woman!

Children are very fond of animals. This is because, the children do not have enough parental love. And parents always think what to feed their children. And parents want to make money. Such incompatibility.

I also like to love pet animals .. I have a pet dog .. His name is maja...color black....
Have you any pet cat @tanata ???

Ari has beautiful eyes but your eyes are just....Dreamy and awesome

Pet animals need more attention when ever they start to live with some one among us. If you fulfilled their requirement they will show greater affection with you. Your dog Ari is really looking pretty good. Take care of her she will also starts love you. Also as you mentioned about your four children that you loved them and they definitely love you as you are very caring mother, so please also take great care of them too.
