* Love Your Pet AND Your Friends! *

Happy Thursday, February 20th, 2014

 

I was having a hard time coming up with something interesting to write about today and then I remembered a site that always has unusual information to share:

 

123 Greetings!

 

 

I'm so glad I checked it out because, according to them, today is, among other things,  Love Your Pet Day, and International Friendship Week (Feb 16-22) TWO of my favorite things:

 

My beloved dog, Vern

 

is so special.

 





 

He is definitely loved,

 

and spoiled!! J

 

To have friends and to be a friend to others,

is an amazing gift in life, so hang on to them dearly!

 

I treasure all my friends, particularly those bloggie friends who I've never met, and most likely never will. We have such strong, magical connections.

 

Thank you all!

But you got to have friends
The feeling's oh, so strong
You got to have friends
To make that day last long

-- Bette Midler

 

 

God said, “I need somebody strong enough to pull sleds and find bombs, yet gentle enough to love babies and lead the blind. Somebody who will spend all day on a couch with a resting head and supportive eyes to lift the spirits of a broken heart.” So God made a dog. source

*Important Note: In my previous blog on February 17th, I inadvertently left out one of my blog tour stops! I'm so sorry! Sometime this April I will be featured on Juanita Nobles' blog. Juanita, I apologize! I'm looking forward to being on your blog, and I will add your blog asap to the list.

 

P.S. Is my new background showing up properly? Just wondering because no on has mentioned it yet!  I just love the new shabby + book design!  

Hugs and Vern

According to 123 Greetings, August is Hug Month, so here's a little hug from me to you!

Please hug your family and friends and let them know you love them. Don't put it off until tomorrow. *And don't forget to hug your four-legged friends! Today is Vern's 11th birthday!!

** IT'S CHOCOLATE DAY!! **

According to 123 Greetings, today is Chocolate Day!!  I find this little bit of news particularly verrrry interesting....because just last night, when I was at the check-out lane in Target, a Hershey Bar called my name! Indeed it did. It said, "Hey, Becky! Over here. You know you want me, so just give in and indulge." And since I'm at a stage in my life where I have absolutely no willpower, (hopefully this too shall pass) I grabbed that chocolate bar and threw it on the converyer belt along with my few necessities: printer ink, diet coke, yogurt, and yellow zingers! See what I mean?? At least I bought some yogurt and DIET soda!

Anyway, I have not eaten the Hershey Bar yet....ta-dah! So, here is my gift to everyone, on this special day.

The Hershey Bar is real. The other items are stickers from my greeting card/sticker collection.

Consider this your E-Card for the day!!

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!
