Good morning my DU family,

Lol, do you ever wake up in a panic? I just woke up to a thunderstorm, listening to rain pound this trailer and I shot up going poor Cuddles and race out of bed, if one can do such a thing with a lousy back, only to find him fast asleep in the living room as I begin to remember letting him in around 330am because it was starting to rain lol.

That feeling of OMG, my poor baby is out in this ....weather lol. It reminds me how deep our emotional attachments are to our pets. Thank God.

Out of my ramble to say this: isn't it delightful to have someone being so precious to us that we think of it (pet, child, sig. other) before ourselves in a difficult moment without hesitation.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to dote on, think of, cater to, and honor those nearest us as they of course, deserve nothing less.

Have a intimately delightful day with yours today.
Love, John

It's surprising and encouraging, I guess, that the old kitty still has that much lung power. Walleye Yesterday #9

has taken "Get my dinner " to a whole other level. She turns into a song box from the moment I pick up the first of the three wet food bowls until the very last moment before her bowl appears under her nose.

can only mean I'm rooting for them to tear up yards around here...since they haven't been to the final four since "96 I believe?

Good morning with 4 minutes to spare lol.
