I was laid off last week after 17 years with my company. If you want to understand more you can read about it on my business blog: http://thedigitalattitude.com . I tell you this because I am thankful.
I am thankful that the universe gave me many years of a good income and the ability to look forward and not dwell on the past. I have good friends and family to help me deal with the sadness and the uncertainty. Something new will come. Change is the only thing we know for sure.
And, of course, I have my furry loves who never let me down. Though life will be changing in ways that none of us can imagine right now, to the animals, I will always be their favorite human. Yes, for this, I am thankful.

By the time Louise and I got down to the boat ramp, Sofie was already swimming and ruffling feathers.

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).
Noel was in charge of the blog until Mommy came home on Tuesday. She focused a great deal on herself, especially on Caturday. She was so exhausted she callapsed on Monday Mischief.
Noel, the Christmas Cat
By Black & White Sunday the dogs were really ready for Mommy to come home. They waited patiently under the cherry tree, but were very bored.
Mom finally arrived after much flight delay on Monday night and shared some pictures of Irish dogs on Tuesday. She developed a terrible airplane germ cold and is feeling pretty blue. So today’s catch up will be short.
Midweek Sofie showed everyone what she did while Mom was away on Wordless Wednesday. It is not like she did much different than she does when Mom is home, except for the lack of walks and getting to ride in the car with Peanut or K8.
Thankful Thursday was easy because we were able to show you our Gratitude Dog Rocks. And they rock! I actually took one to Ireland with me so that I could be close to home at all times.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

I love to travel and last week someone ordered the most incredible Irish weather. Everyone was saying it never is this sunny and warm (65 degrees is hot for them). I spent the week in meetings, but the weekend I got down from Dublin to Blarney, Cork and Cobh by train and bus. Coming from the USA, which is a relatively new country compared to Ireland, I am humbled by the history. I got to kiss the magic stone in Blarney Castle (built in 1446), which is said to bestow the gift of eternal eloquence on those lucky few who do so. I wonder if that translates to blog writing too?
When I’m travelling I miss my animals a great deal after a few days. I am so used to walking dogs and feeding cats that the break in routine is weird. I prefer to have the dogs with me all the time if I could. I know you understand. I feel an absence of spirit when not surround by my furries. So, to make up for it I take pictures of animals I meet along the way (my smartphone died and would not charge this trip, so I missed many a cow, horse, sheep, and kitty, sorry.)
I meet these 2 beauties on the grounds of Blarney Castle, then on the way back to Dublin I meet the cutest little King Charles Spaniel on the train.
I love to travel but I love to come home. There are always the best dog kisses waiting for me from Louise and Sofie.
