Thankful November...

A STUMP FOR A TAIL


You can't buy loyalty, they say
I bought it though, the other day;
You can't buy friendship, tried and true,
Well just the same, I bought that too.
I made my bid, and on the spot
Bought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness, so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small.
I bought a single trusting heart,
That gave devotion from the start.
If you think these things are not
For sale, Buy a brown-eyed puppy with
a stump for a tail.

Dog Days of Summer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_Days is a great source of information about this subject. What do you and your hounds do to avoid the heat but keep their interest up.

For HoneyDew, Sampson and I we take walks morning and/or evening, preferable in a well shaded area. Also one of their favorite treats is a ride in the car with the windows open and a stop at the local Tasty Freeze. Other than that, they both think a nice fan and lounging about the house is just about right (of course they would rather have air conditioning but we do not get enough hot days here to make it worth while).

So how are you and your pal beating the heat?

Prayer

Every evening as I'm laying here in bed
This tiny little prayer keeps running through my head
God bless my mom and dad and bless my little pup.
And look out for my brother when things aren't looking up
And God, there's one more thing I wish that you could do
Hope you don't mind me asking but please bless my computer too?
Now I know that's not normal to bless a mother board
But just listen a second while I explain to you 'My Lord'

You see, that little metal box holds more to me than odds & ends
Inside those small compartments rest a hundred of my 'BEST FRIENDS'
Some it's true I've never seen and most I've never met
We've never exchanged hugs or shared a meal as yet....
I know for sure they like me by the kindness that they give.
And this little scrap of metal is how I travel to where they live.

By faith is how I know them much the same as you
I share in what life brings them from that our friendship grew
"PLEASE" Take an extra minute from your duties up above
To bless this scrap of metal that's filled with so much love!
