Mommy is gone for a few days up to New York, picking up Peanut from college for the summer. We are thankful that our little human will be coming home for a while because we miss her. We are keeping Peanut’s bed warm until Saturday. Hurry home Mommy and bring sister human with you.

So glad you are joining me today for the Dogs N Pawz Blog Hop called Tuesday’s Tails! New posts go up on Tuesday but you can link up and post whenever you want all week long. The whole purpose is to feature cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, etc. so whenever you link up is up to you! Even pets from PetFinder, are fine. Let’s just get them all homes!
Dogs N Pawz said “I also want to encourage all of you to share each other’s Tuesday’s Tails posts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and whatever other social media channels you use. The more we share the more likely we are to get the word out!”

Let’s hop to it! Today we are focused on some Guinea Pigs and a Wabbit (bunny rabbit). Guinea Pigs normally only live 4 to 6 years, so let’s get these babies in homes quick. You know how much we miss our little piggies and wish we could have some, but, alas, I think Louise and Sofie would not like that at all.

No ducks were harmed in the making of this slide show.
But 2 dogs did get very wet in the river even though Mom said not to go in!

You can do such cool things with Instagram. I like how I was able to make this look like a picture from the 1920’s or even earlier, when they used a different type of film process. Sofie is standing in front of the forsythia bushes. I think she looks like a proud herder. Happy Sunday!

I am thankful for this incredible fur creature that I call Louise. If any one would have told me that I would have fallen for a fearful black hound/ labby abused puppy, I would not have predicted it. I was always a lighter color, longer fur type of dog person. But ever since this little 4 or 5 month old sweetness came into my world 3 years ago, she has taught me so much. Louise has taught me:
- That fear can keep you safe. It can keep you from entering into a dangerous situation. You need to listen to your gut and respect your fear and the fear of those around you.
- That it is best to keep things simple, which keeps them less scary. Like not walking in the middle of too many people all at once, which can be overwhelming.
- That small steps can be very big. For example, when Louise does not bark or cower at every human that we pass, that is a victory.
- That learning what freaks you out, and avoiding it as much as possible, can make a world of difference in the rest of your day.
- Oh yes, and that black dogs are beautiful.
I believe that people and animals and situations all come into my life for the lessons that they teach me (and I them). Thank you Lulu Belle for my lessons in being more aware of the world around me and you, for listening to my instincts more, and for being patient.

The dogs went to play with Mojo Rising, next door. They love Mojo. He is their bestest friend.

Louise loves Mojo more than any other boy dog in the world. She has played with him since she was a puppy. She smiles for him in a way that you know it is love.

Sofie tries to play Labby style, but she is just a pesky little sister and usually ends up the odd dog out.
All 3 are the best of fiends. I love to watch them play. There is something special about visiting a close friend. There is a familiarity, and easiness, that you don’t get with just anyone. Because Louise does not trust many other dogs, when she does, the playfulness is a joy to watch.
“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “Pooh?” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s hand. “I just wanted to be sure of you.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
I guess that was a lot of words for a Wordless Wednesday!
