Happy Mother’s Day From the Dog ~ Being a Mom is RUFF!

Happy Mother’s Day to Mom’s of all 4 footers and 2 footers.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who have children

that are bit hairier than others and walk on four paws! 

This is for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick dogs in their arms, wiping up barf laced with edible and inedible things and saying “It’s okay baby, Mommy’s here.”

Who have sat on the floor for hours on end soothing dogs who can’t be comforted.

This is for all the mothers who show up at work with dog hair on their suits, unexpected scratches on their wrists and poo bags in their purse, coat pocket, pants pocket and all other pockets.

For all the mothers who make their own dog food and treats. And all the mothers who don’t.

This for the mothers who help the new mothers deal with the loss of their litter. And the mothers who help them cope when they are given new homes.

This is for the mothers whose priceless art collections consist of ribbons and photos.

And for all the mothers who froze their buns, sweated gallons, and swatted away bees to watch their precious prance into a ring and achieve 2nd place and then jump around as though they had won best in show.

This is for all the mothers who go to the special pet stores to collect the proper treats, food and toys no matter that it take 3 stops and 50 stoplights.

This is for all the mothers who taught their dogs to sit, come and stay. And for all the mothers who opted for sit.

This is for all the mothers who teach their dogs agility and obedience and actually understand that it needs to be FUN!

This is for all the mothers who took their dog to the vet assuring them that there would be no needles only to be told they need a blood sample.

For all the mothers whose dog has gone missing and was returned because she had the forethought to have a chip put between its shoulders.

What makes a good Mother anyway? 

Is it patience?

Compassion?

Ever available treats?

The ability to answer the door, hold back the dog and deal with a phone call all at the same time?

Or is it in her heart?

 

MOTHERS THINK TWICE

I believe Mothers Think Twice

and more often than not

Mothers Think Thrice!

Once for the child,

once for herself,

and once (or more) for her husband!

MOMS ARE BUSY PEOPLE

Moms are the busiest people on the planet.

Moms are like superheroes. They juggle everything from household budgets to healthcare decisions. They handle household chores and shuttle the kids to countless after-school activities, making home-life the full-time job that it is. And yet for many, it doesn’t stop there as they maintain full-time jobs and may also be caring for aging parents on top of all of the responsibilities at home.

Simple reminders for Mothers to take care of themselves and quotes to ponder.

• Do simple exercises every day.

• Take time as often as possible to do something just for you.

• Sing while working. Arthur Freed said,” I’m singing in the rain, just singing in the rain; What a wonderful feeling, I’m happy again.”

• Take a nap. Martha Steward said,”I catnap now and then, but I think while I nap, so it’s not a waste of time.”

• Kiss your love ones. Benjamin West said,”A kiss from my mother made me a painter.”

• Laugh out loud. Laughter is the best medicine.

• Sleep well. Leonardo da Vince said,”A well-spent day brings happy sleep.”

May these reminders help you to have a wonderful DAY,

EVERY DAY.

cuddled, hugged, massaged or gently touched.

They transmit the information back to the brain’s emotional hub,

creating feelings of pleasure.

Did you know that, if you visualise, you can actually hug on the phone? ~ Shelly Long

Where I live if someone gives you a hug it’s from the heart. ~ Steve Irwin

A hug is like a boomerang – you get it back right away. ~ Bil Keane

Metta World Peace Not So Peaceful!

Name Fail

NBA player, Metta World Peace’s first name means

“Loving and Kindness”

His name should be ~ Metta World Moron

He hurt James Harden, his fans, his team and his reputation!

The media and internet are filled with outrage over the vicious elbow

Metta World Peace swung at Oklahoma City’s James Harden

in an NBA basketball game.

And there’s no question that Metta World Peace will forever be mocked about changing his name from Ron Artest.

NBA ALLSTAR ELBOW!

From Twitter:

From tennis star Andy Roddick (@andyroddick): “I think metta world peace should change his name to holy flying elbow.”

@phabriss: “After that little elbowing incident Sunday, I think Ron Artest’s name should be Metta World War, not Metta World Peace.”

@PatMcAfeeShow: “Metta world peace got a bit Ron Artesty didn’t he.”

@JCLayfield: “Shouldn’t Ron Artest become Metta World Moron after last night’s flagrant foul? World Peace just doesn’t seem right.”

@awfulannouncing: “How could Metta World Peace have a crazy Ron Artest relapse on Earth Day of all days? Cmon man.”

World Peace seems to think that he did nothing wrong at all, one of his tweets defending his action reads: “I just watched the replay again….. Oooo.. My celebration of the dunk really was too much… Didn’t even see James ….. Omg… Looks bad”.

Strange Case of Dr Artest and Mr. Peace

(Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde)

Ron Artest has a history of violence, but World Peace has been rehabilitated and has behaved fairly well.

Which player will David Stern punish?

METTA WORLD PEACE ~ SHATTERED IMAGE!

Two questions to be answered:

1. How long should his suspension be?

2. What will his new name be?
