How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Warm and Fuzzy Feelings Can Get You Through

in Everyday, Family on 01/11/12

My children are healthy.

Hubby is snoring beside me.

Cat is fat, funky and funny.

The Dog is a senior citizen and regularly emits what can only be described as toxic fumes. 

SassyPets

The house is full of laughter, hormones and sometimes tears. 

There are celebrations to look forward to, and dreams not yet come true.

There are hard times behind us, and challenges ahead.

I’m ready.

Life is beautiful, messy and ever changing, and I know I am blessed. 

I wouldn’t change a thing.

      I feed my old lab a spoonful of canned pumpkin with his dinner, really helps with the “emissions” and he loves it!

      So nice to ‘not’ sweat the small stuff, and to appreciate the people, animal creatures, and things that matter.

      Happy New Year!

      I love this post. Also, our dog also emits toxic fumes.

      I love being waken up in the morning, by my dog’s gas. It’s delightful.

      Perfect!

      Age has nothing to do with toxic fumes, just ask my granddaughter.
      Your priorities are in the right place.
      Love the photo of the pets. 🙂
