The dog days of summer are upon us on August 5th, and it is Work Like a Dog Day.
Let the fur fly on August 5th. It's Work Like a Dog Day.
Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive.
Gilda Radner
The dogs I know, the ones that my kids have, don't work very hard at all. I'd say they have an easy life for sure. Most of them sleep more than most of us do. They are couch potatoes.
But I do remember a dog that my grandparents had when I was young. He was a worker. He had jobs to do around the farm and kept busy during night and day. Besides helping around the farm he was on guard too.
Having lived here in the city most all my life, I appreciate working dogs, but have loved all my couch potatoes too. There are a few lessons that you can learn from your dog that might help you get through the day without running away with your tail between your legs.
If you have to rest, rest. You’re no good if you are physically and mentally exhausted, so if you need a quick break, take it.
Treats are usually few and far between, so when one comes your way, make the most of it.
Be loyal to those that deserve it. If someone goes out of their way to treat you well, make sure you return the favor.
Enjoy a good scratch. When someone recognizes you for doing a good job, enjoy the moment. Accept the praise when it comes, and get back to work when it stops.
Today's pictures are more of the flowers blooming around my house right now. I don't have many dog pictures to show you so I guess I'm going to have to make a point of taking some soon.
It's the beginning of another new week! Have a happy Monday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Happiness is a warm puppy.
Charles M. Schulz
I am trying to count at least 3 things I'm thankful for each day and then in 1 year's time I'll have counted 1000 gifts. I’ll be sharing them and giving thanks to God for these gifts each day.
827. for all dogs
828. for rest when it is needed
829. for those that take good care of their pets, exercising them counts.
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU !
A dog is one of the remaining reasons why some people can be persuaded to go for a walk.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

A dog is man's best friend. Blessings
Your flowers are beautiful, and your words about dogs, whom I have always loved... are wonderful.
50 days until fall!
In my next lift I'm coming back as a cat. Lol. Love the flowers. Happy Monday. :)
