For the love of Dogs

If you want the best seat in the house ... move the dog !

Family and friends welcome. Fleas are not.

Dalmatian Puppy Dog Hat with Diaper Cover Set

Dogs are really people with short legs in fur coats.

A house is not a home without a dog



Life is just one table scrap after another.

My dog's not spoiled ... I'm just well trained !



When please doesn't work ... Beg !

Beware of attack puppy.



A one-year-old dog is physically as mature as a 15 year-old human and if you have teenagers dogs listen better too.

A father and son hunting Trip

One fall morning a young boy, about 12 years old and his father went hunting, the boys father spots a small gathering of trees and tells his son to stay still and be very quiet, as he goes and checks out what is stirring in the trees.

About 10 to 15 minutes after the father leaves, he hears a blood curdling scream ! He rushes back to his son as fast as humanly possible. He asks the boy what is wrong ?

The boy says.... When the snake crawled across by boots I didn't move or make a sound.

Theme Hats, Jewelry, songs and a painting what more could you ask for in a Blog ?

My wife, Iryna likes theme hats, I like theme songs ! Well only to my favorite TV Shows !Handmade crocheted Mickey Minnie Mosue Hat

Everyone know the mickey mouse theme song, M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E , etc great for kids but my favorite theme song is from one of my favorite TV shows ( The Big Bang Thoery ).

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

Handmade crocheted Pirate hats for kidsA popular theme for kids now days is pirates, probably due to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Yo Ho , yo ho a pirates life for me. Makes me think of Disneyland and the pirates of the Caribbean ride. I love Disneyland.

Easter theme black and white chick and may-lilies necklaceEaster brings to mind thoughts of spring, I would like to have spring right now, we got snow last night, I really dislike shoveling snow. I like easter, kids like it too mmmm chocolate.

For You: Gorgeous Pink Butterfly Necklace. Buy from Etsy Online Gift Shop. One OFF DesignI can not wait to enjoy spring, butterflies, Barbeque's, warmer weather , fireflies ,hockey playoffs :) Fireflies remind me of 2 things 1) When I was young I would go into me backyard in the evening and catch fire flies, times were great then, I did not have a care or concern. All I cared about was having fun. 2 ) One of my favorite songs. Fireflies by Owl City ! If you haven't heard it, you gotta check it out.

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

Cast Your Cares Upon the Lord - Giclee print
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Cats & Dogs






Most people are either cat people or dog people, not often both. When Ira moved to Canada we lived in a village and I had a dog ( Buddy, my Jack Russell Terrier ). I started to feed a cat that was a stray, well by the time we left that house and moved to Ontario I was feeding about 15 stray cats. I digress, when Ira moved to Canada she did not like cats or dogs, after about 6 months Ira went from not wanting to give the cats table scraps to buying food for them at the grocery store. I would say Ira is both a cat and dog person now.


 



My Daughter Amy who is definitely cat cat person, named every stray cat that dropped by to eat. I think some cats just dropped by to get a name.





I love all animals, and enjoy sitting and having a cat or dog around. I let Buddy ( our Dog ) sleep at my feet. Ira tells him to get down and he comes to me to hide under the blankets, he is like a furry foot warmer.





Our youngest is a dog person when she was little we gave Buddy ( our dog ) some left over Japanese food, ( our youngest daughter loves baby corns ), to our surprise we found buddy and her sitting side by side eating these left overs. Sharing 50/50, well She got the baby corns and he got the rest !
