The Girls Are Dropping In Today...

Carly and Bella (WMBBD)

It was such a beautiful morning yesterday that Handsome and I drank our morning coffee on the porch. Of course, the girls (all four of them) joined us. 

Carly and Bella just wanted to stop by today to say "Hello". Mama has more grey now, but we've noticed that Carly Dog is developing a little grey on her chinny chin chin, too. Time stops for no man (nor beast). It's just a little reminder of how short their time is with us, and to appreciate every moment we can share with them.

How Ya Doin'?

Carly's head tilt continues to be a source of laughter and joy for us. Bella's a sweet, old soul we're so  grateful to have around to pet and cuddle.

I'll be at work today, but Handsome will spend the day with these girls. Claudette and her daughter mew to be let out every morning, so by the time I go to work, they're usually snuggled in our porch chairs and enjoying the sunshine. If the weather is less than favorable, they'll ask to be let back in soon enough.

Handsome and I are watching the weather reports for Florida the past few days. Our friends have either evacuated or are hunkered down as they await the next hit. We're praying that everyone will make it safely through the storm. 

As so many are trying to rebuild following Hurricane Helene, the last thing they need is Milton knocking at their door. Perhaps a miracle might save them from the worst of it this time. We'll continue to pray.

    1. Hi Marilyn:
      I hope the storms and western fires end soon. It seems as though the whole world is on fire (figuratively speaking). I pray for peace and calm. We need it now, more than ever. Prayers for all our Florida friends.

    1. Dear Sherry:
      They really are. It was a good day at work, and unusually busy more toward the end of my shift. My feet were ready for slippers by the time I got home. It will be an easier day tomorrow.

  3. It’s always good to see the beautiful girls. Old man Bolt says hello. We lost his 10 year old brother, Bailey, to heart issues in August. We definitely have been loving on Bolt a whole lot more! Andrea Hickman

    1. Hi Andrea:
      Hello and hugs to your beautiful Bolt. I'm so sorry to hear that Bailey is gone, but like to think that perhaps he's playing with Tag now. I know what you mean about loving on Bolt. Bella and Carly gets lots of extra snuffles with our boy gone. I still have the sweet drawing Daniel sent our way of your two with Tag in the middle. It's on my studio cupboard door and I look at it frequently. Please let him know that I really cherish it.
      Hugs from Wisconsin,
      xoxo

  4. Please issue appropriate skritches to all 4 girls on my behalf. How I miss having pets!
    And yes, thoughts and prayers are with those already dealing with the previous storm and those now in the path of the new one. It's horrifying to watch the news coverage from here and I know the reality is a whole lot worse.

    1. Hi MA:
      You know I will. I can't imagine not having at least one warm and furry in our home. I agree with you about the storm images and the devastation around the country. They're all in my prayers, and we're concerned for everyone as winter is just around the corner for many. (Gosh, how I tried to avoid even thinking about that!)
      Big hugs,
      xoxo
