Growth & the Fuzzballs
Apparently the little fuzzballs do get bigger. When we got them in early June, they were the size of beanie babies.

Tough Night
Our older daughter's long-time pet had to be put to sleep last night. They were constant companions for nearly half her life, and it's tough. She's taking it rather hard, which is only normal.
She's a tough young lady, but has a tender heart. I don't want to be maudlin, and won't dwell on it, here. Our concern is for her right now.
There's plenty of fresh material on the sidebar, and lots of good folks have interesting, thought-provoking things to say. Check them out. :)
Thanks for stopping by, friends. I'll be back later.

The Blessing of the Pets and Animals
A number of denominations hold an annual service wherein pets and other animals are blessed by the priest/rabbi/pastor.
In my experience, it can be a lovely time as pet owners brings their beloved four-legged (and often, finned) family members to church. It helps also if the pastor is an animal lover.
It can also be ... well, less than lovely when the above conditions don't apply. I'm sure you can imagine.
And then there are the critters which don't appreciate getting sprinkled:
This happens, too. You can trust me on this.

Shedding Some Light On The Subject
How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out bulb?
2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
4. Rottweiler: Make me.
5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I lead these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!
10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb, or 'We don't need no stinking light bulb.'
12. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
13. Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
14. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
How many cats does it take to change a light bulb?
Random cat: Cats do not change light bulbs; people change light bulbs. So, the real question is: 'How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?'
