Comfort I Can Count On

  Today's photo-a-day challenge is being thankful for "this familiar thing". I chose to make my familiar thing, my pets. 

  My pets are like children to me, but they hold a different piece of my heart. They offer a different type of comfort and peace that nothing else can. Those sweet eyes and the soft nudges of a wet cold nose are a priceless gift. 

  When my husband and I were still renting homes, we refused to move into a place that didn't allow pets. We understood their reasoning, but to us, we just cannot part from them. They are what is familiar to us. They make us feel like we are home. 

Day #3- Grateful for this familiar thing (in my case these familiar furry things lol)

Do you have furry familiars/companions? Tell me all about them in the comments!

Photo Friday- Yard Critters

Yard Critters

I love watching the little birds and squirrels play out back in the yard.  Their playfulness and chipper songs lift my spirits. Today I wanna share some fun photos I took at random intervals. These may not be top notch 100% pro photos, but they are my faves. I hope you'll enjoy.

Wordless Wednesdays- Squirrels!

I dunno what it is about these little critters but I just love them. I love the way they forage for goodies they've stashed away in the ground, I love the way their tails twitch and the way they play so carefree like all day. I captured some images of Squirrels playing around in my less than attractive backyard. I hope they will bring a smile to your face like they do to mine. 

I hope you enjoyed the critter photos. This has been my 1st entry for weekly Wordless Wednesdays. I hope I have followed all of the rules. I had tons of fun. Many thanks for the opportunity to play along.

Cute, Cuddly and Crazy Fur Babies

Animals have been scientifically proven to add years to the lives of people because of their ability to bring comfort, joy and laughter. Nature's greatest medicine comes in the form of furry four-legged companions with wagging tails and floppy ears. 

I love my fur babies, all three of them. I have a cat and two dogs. My critters are my world. Everyday is a new adventure and every moment gives me another reason to smile. 

Today I want to share a few videos and photos starring the fur babies in my life. I hope that they will bring a smile to your face as they do mine each time I watch them. I also encourage you to join in the fun and share any absolutely adorable, fun or cute videos/photos of your companions via link here in the comments or on my FB page. Thanks for viewing and participating!
