What is it about the shift from August to September that makes everything change? Does the universe know what a calendar is or that we flipped a page? It must because this morning was so crisp and so… fall like. The leaves are starting to fall into the pool, so sadly, it will be closed this weekend. Summer is over.

On the brighter side – I LOVE FALL!!!! I can smell the pumpkins and the wood in the fireplaces. I can feel the earth going to sleep, so that she can renew and restore and awaken in spring. I like wearing sweaters and taking long leaf falling walks with the puppies. I enjoy the turning of the leaves and the incredible colors and sites that they produce. Fall is home to me. Fall is comfort, like a bowl of good soup.

I am thankful for fall. What does the change of season mean to you?
(I know some of you are going into Spring right now, and that is OK too. BOL)

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).
Louise appears to be doing well on her medicine. I told you about her PeriAnal Fistular Disease on Monday. It was kind of a shock, but she is doing well so far and some of the sores seem to be healing. She likes that I give her a meatball of dog food at meal time (with her smelly pills hidden in them). Even Sofie benefits from the extra yummy. They do love their meatballs. I am also adding canned veggies, like carrots and green beans, to give added roughage to the digestive system. Time will tell.
Thank you all for sending your prayers. I truly believe that your healing energy, even through cyberspace, will give her a better chance of making it through. And several of you mentioned holistic medicine, and I need to study up on what might help with this particular autoimmune disease.
Thank you all so much! Here she is taking a nap on K8’s bed.
My local shelter is starting to do these cool collages of their animals and I posted one of senior cates on Tuesday’s Tails. The shelter is full, so they really need people to be adopting. I wish I had the room and money to take them all home forever.
Louise and I were having fun on the front steps on Wordless Wednesday. She is always in my face, especially when I am sitting on the steps or the ground. Sometimes I think she just wants to crawl inside me. I really like the one picture that pointed up at the house shingles; they make this cool stripe pattern, don’t you think?
Thankful Thursday was all about the people that are fighting for animal rights and animal welfare. I posted a quote that Peanut sent me (my Vegan PETA child). It hit home because I know that I want to shut off the pictures of abused animals that come into my reader because they upset me, but what I have to do is stop the violence, and only then will the pictures finally stop.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

Today I am thankful for all the people that are working hard to stop the violence towards animals. This quote that popped up on my Tumblr feed the other day really made me stop and think. I hate when pictures come up on my Facebook or Tumblr of abused animals, but I guess they most. Do we need to see these horrible things so that we act to stop them? I really don’t like pictures of war and mutilation, but I think I understand them better now. I still don’t want to see them, but if they get one more human to perform an act of kindness, then I guess they are doing there job. What do you think?
