How to Be Happy…..

Deanne Fitzpatrick wrote an article on her blog about being happy…..you can read it HERE.

Anyway, some days you read things that really strike a chord with you, this one did and it inspired me to do this….

Kenny said, “what about take the dogs for a walk”…..well, today I might have to expand onto the bottom of the door….so far I’ve never put anything on the bottom half of the door…..maybe I’ll make one on the bottom just for the dogs…I mean, it would be at their height “How to make your dog happy….”

Just HAVING the chalkboard door makes me happy!

As does the way I spent my day yesterday…..kind of a picture montage.

Lonnie always likes to be close to you….even if you’re hooking. He’s at my feet but looking out the bedroom window.

No doubt, looking for squirrels or people walking their dogs.

After a bit he gets tired and decides to take a nap.

I just love the bottoms of dogs paws.

His are freckled.

Ahhhhh, what a nice way to spend the day! *Note the wadded up quilt at the end of the bed…it’s clean, but hard to put on the bed when the dogs decide they want to take a nap.

Here comes Cleopatra….she has stairs, so she can climb up.

“Hey, what’s going on?”

“hello”

I think she’s deciding where she wants to stretch out.

Hmmmmmm………

I wish you would quit hooking and just pet on me.

She was a bit relentless, so I had to put down my hooking and give her some extra attention.

I just love her deep set eyes.

Ahhhh, now that she’s had a little petting, she’s ready to snuggle in….that is her favorite spot to lie…just at the edge of the bed by her stairs.

So peaceful.

I just love that sweet face!

And this sweet face too!

At this point, Lonnie thinks I’ve hooked enough….. “use that hand to pet me”
