I have one cat who is indoor only.I love coffee very hot, popcorn, sweets, the sound of hummingbirds in flight, the songs of Mockingbirds, chirp of the Cardinals,butterflies, puppy breath, horse breath, the feel and sound of a cat purring (especially mine).

Goood Morning !!
little dog is still alive and came and ate and drank. He was sound asleep in a neighbor's flowerbed. My joy is that he is alive one more day. I know however, this is just a bandaid over a gaping would - his chances of of survival are hopeless since no one can approach him.
My gut feeling is that this little creature of God was left to survive on his own by the house on the corner -he seems very familiar with that particular place.
My heart aches for situations like this. Today, it brings to mind the sufferings of humans that spend their day trying to find food to eat, water and shelter to get rest where ever they can find it - what an exhausting way to live from day to day !

It is amazing to me to see this little dog rally each day when I find him and call him to let him know there is food down. I want to pet and hold him close, take him in give him love that gets chipped away each day from him. Soon, he'll tire of the whole process and probably walk out into the street to put an end to it. I thought that was what he was doing two evenings ago. I was so proud of his intelligence that he did not go into Corporate Drive. But, he does, in fact venture out in traffic if I try and get too close (Less that a football field).

Today, I am grateful and thankful...
that Precious is safe and healthy
that caring has extended to humans for me today
that I realize the gifts God has Blessed me with
to be greatful and willing to share what I have been Blessed with
Saint Francis of Assisi and His over-sight of all God's creatures
The Grace of God in my life today
thank YOU
