MaggieMoose: Raining Sunshine & Flowers & Twigs

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower."


  Our world has been under heavy dew drops. It has R-A-I-N-E-D for days. When the sunshine decided to sparkle its rays we went outside and soaked it up! We had one moment under the sun before the cloud cover returned. It was all we needed. A little freedom to look up and smile at the sunshine & flowers. Today's weather alerts are for heavy fog. Yes, we could barely see each other in the fog on our walk. We asked ourselves; this is California, right? Not London? Maggie's always the optimist rain or shine so, every day's a good day for her. Rain & wintry weather bring twigs a plenty. A big S-C-O-R-E  for a twig lover! After Maggie's morning walk she decided to burrow in for the remainder of winter to live life on a horizontal angle. Her sign is posted: Wakes up for twigs or sun. Flowers a bonus.

MaggieMoose: Monday Monday

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"Monday, Monday, so good to me;
Monday morning, it was all I hoped it would be...."


  It's Monday. Maggie and I are feeling kind of folk song-ish. After the Easter sunshine yesterday it rained all night. On Easter we had our little family get together. She got all loved up. Today it's Monday and a different story. Rainy darkness outside. Monday, Monday. After Maggie's breakfast she strolled outside to make her rounds of the property. Then she came back in and we had our little love fest. Maggie you are such a cuddle bug. I must admit she's looking kind of tired this Monday morning. I hear ya Maggie. We decided to listen to the Mamas & Papas song: Monday Monday. We 're not really sure what the song is about, but we loved having a sing-a-long and failing to harmonize as background singers. We know our limits. It's fun pretending we can sing. After our sing-a-along Maggie hit the cozy. She gave me that look of It's Monday, have a nice day at work. I'm going where I need to be. Cozy called. Oh Monday, Monday, it's all Maggie hoped it to be; full of love, food, and being outdoors-topped off with a cozy.

MaggieMoose's Turkey Sunshine: Gobble Gobble

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

Eat pork!

  Today is the Thanksgiving Day holiday in America. The turkey takes front and center in our lives at dinnertime. Yum; mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, turkey, and pumpkin pie. Maggie has a turkey she'd like to sink her teeth into. It's our plush Thanksgiving turkey that says "Eat pork!" or "Gooble Gooble" like a real turkey's sound. Maggie is grateful her orange ball was returned to her too. It's been lost under the couch since last Christmas. She gives thanks to Julie & Patrick for helping get it back to her. WOOF! WOOF! The second item Maggie is grateful for is the plush talking turkey. This turkey was never Maggie's, but when she saw it she immediately opened her mouth wide to take it from me. She thought it was hers. Sorry Maggie, it's not safe for you. I put our talking turkey up on the piano out of harms way. We'll get to the real turkey meat later. I am grateful for my daughter Julie's help going through holiday stuff and more. While we rummaged through our holiday things we also cleared out many things for "give away" to others. In our house we are so grateful for our family, our friends, good health, and me personally-lots of laughs with a MaggieMoose around. Grateful, grateful, grateful. Maggie is grateful too. She decided to park her cozy bed right in front of the Christmas tree. I bet she's planning to give thanks to the jolly man in the red suit come Christmas eve. I can see her saying in Woof-Woof-ese: What's in the big, black bag? Any balls? Meanwhile, I see Maggie's getting her football out. How did she know the Thanksgiving Day football games are on today? Oh Maggie (chuckle, chuckle), let's watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day floats first. WOOF! WOOF! Happy Thanksgiving Day to Christy & Ryan in  New York City!
Happy Thanksgiving friends!
MaggieMoose's kind of Thanksgiving (orange ball is where it belongs).

Maggie's Play Day

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"Play energizes us and enlivens us. It eases our burdens. It renews our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities."

Sunshine Shadows

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine."


  Maggie and I love hearts in all forms. Hearts remind us of friendships, love, a sigh or two, hugs, and the blessings of sunshiny hope. We're thankful for the sunshine shadows. It reminds Maggie and I as we move forward towards the light, we leave the shadows of our growth behind. For us, our friendship is like the precious sunshine cloud in the sky; it shines in its shadow. A hug disguised as a heart. We're grateful for the sunlight & shadows of our friendship. We feel the bountiful rays of sunshiny warmth greater than the coolness of the shade from life's shadows.  
Maggie and Me with our shadows
