Dona Nobis Pacem ~ Hold The Light

Holding a light makes  darkness fade away, so those on the dark path will see where they are going.

It is a beautiful thing if you can hold a light for your neighbor, when they are floundering in their dark time, or even lost in it. Then they'll be able to see their way out. Imagine if everyone held a light for someone every day. What a beautiful thing it would be, and then friendships might bloom...which is the beginning of peace, 

Dona Nobis Pacem.

Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with ME!

A Fun Guest Selfie!

 

Wow,  its already the third of November!! The holiday season is upon us, well.almost!

Petcretary has to work this weekend so time at blogging is sparse...so we'll allow her a guest, saves her time from making us pose, BOL!

So here is the series of pictures that were taken on a whim at the spur of the moment...this dude whose name is totally forgotten...has some furmouse blogging cousins...

So, on Saturday of her vacation she saw these two pups being walked by their Mama and Papa...

OMD! She said, that is a cousin of DaPhenny and DaNelly!! Along with his Frenchie Sisfur!

Then on Sunday as they were about to go to the airport to go back to her sister's place, petcretary saw them again!! So she got some better pics, including a (sort of ) selfie!

Too bad petcretary sometimes has a brain like sieve, everything falls out...sigh....she wishes she could remember his name and that of his sisfur...oh well!

We will now join up with the Sunday Selfies at The Cat On My Head!

We are thankful that The Kitties Blue continue to have this blog hop each week, already for over ten years!! Wow! We love it. It's fun, and anyone can join, you do not need to be a cat or a doggy!

Click the caption under the little icon and you can see all the others and join in, too!

The Sunday Selfies are all HERE!

Angelic Kitty Trio

 Once again there is sorrow in the Blogosphere, as there aere three new kitties who recently became new angels.

If you wish to comment on their pages, you can click on the link that is with their names under the images.

Isis

Scooby

Kira

(Kira is a friend from the long gone days of Catster., some of you may remember her, they only have a facebook page...)

We are going to join up with the Feline Friday BlogHop...since these precious angel kitties deserve a last time to be remembered. We send our condolences to the families, and hope that the many memories they made over the years will stay with them forever.

Feline Friday

Pre-Halloween Selfies

Wow, October is almost over, seems like it just got started and now its almost november!! Where does the time go???

Petcretary the tree cutting crew and a friend are still working in the backyard to get rid of all the logs, limbs and other tree debris. It's a lot more open now...but sheesh, what a mess. It's a good thing it is fall and soon everything will be covered in leaves and or snow...so that when spring comes, all the now bare areas can start growing grass and tons of green weeds again, BOL! Petcretary will scatter grass seed when everything is cleaned up. For some reason neither Dalton or Benji are interested in digging! Unbe-woofable!! But thankful!

Anyways, soon it will be Halloween. We got ourselves dressed up, not anything scary, spooky or evil, since actually *she* doesn't care one bit for this holiday.

We don't even see trick or treaters here, because the  treats in our area are so scattered, being as we are in a rural setting. There are more lucrative places for the little ones to go and fill their sacs. There won't be a lot of light either, since the next full moon isn't till mid November.

So here are our selfies in pickleball mode, BOL!!

Petcretary was sort of sad that Benji's outfit didn't come with a hat like Dalton's...though Benji sure couldn't care less, BOL!! Dalton rocked it this week!!

We didn't want to make an ussie...oh well!

Pawppy has our food delivery from Chewy, and we sure hope there are treats in there, too!!

We are joining the Sunday Selfies Bloghop! Thanks, Kitties Blue, for hosting as always!

Back From Vacation ~ Guest Selfie ~ And Angels

 Petcretary came back from her vacation and rescued/released us from Doggy Jail...we were SO glad to be back home! And wow, there was all kinds of tree junk to explore in our yard...though petcretary calls it a huge mess. So we've helped snoopervise her making large brush piles and playing Smokey The Bear to make sure she doesn't burn down the whole yard! She said she'll get help to cleanup  the large trunks and logs, some of which she sold to the tree cutter, and some she'll pay to have it hauled away, as they are a bit too large to safely burn. (Let alone move around!)

Hurry girls, we want to get out of here and go home!

On the way back here, Petcretary met an unusual Mountie at a rest stop...he obliged with a selfie, and then he wanted to have another with her, BOL!

It was fall in full glory out west...and now its like that here, too:

Here are the happy newlyweds:

They got dressed up for a traditional Chinese Tea ceremony as the groom's family is Cantonese.

 

Here they are shortly after the wedding ceremony...but the bride had already taken off her beautiful and very long train and veil...

The next day the couple had to fly to get to their honeymoon destination...and petcretay and our Auntie were walking in the airport looking for their own departure waiting area, and they suddenly were met by those two!! Imagine that!! 

They also had a lot of the wedding party and some guests on their own flight back...a lot came from the same area where our auntie lives, and some had to travel back to another city a few hundred miles more to the east.

 When petcretary got back to our house there was this huge tent in the neighbor's yard...they had a wedding there the same day as petcretary's niece!!

It took two days to get it taken down!!

Here we are having a yummy treat as a  bribe for good behavior when we got home...

And since the 20th was Tocktober, and we missed that, Dalton obliged with a great tock-shot, BOL!!

Investigating the big pile of tree rubbish...

 Benji showing off *his* more modest Tocks!

That's all folks!!

Now for the new angels we heard about while the maker of the mementos we send was not at her computer...

Treeno from Life & Cats.  Treeno only has Facebook, since the blg is inactive...

Gracie from News and Views By Coffee Kat

Madison from My GBGV Life

You can visit their families by clicking on the captions....to leave your message of comfort if you haven't done that yet.

It may be a while yet, before we can visit you as *she* is very busy with the outside work, and a whole lot of other duties, chores and her work.

Us Pups are Happy that things are back to normal...sort of...around here, so we'll join the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop...as well as the Sunday Selfies one at the Cat on My Head...even though we are late.

Absent ~ Vacation

 Petcretary is going on vacation...

Vacationing...where in the world?

First she'll drive about 325 miles, to her sister in Canada.

She wishes....BOL!

Then they both will fly to the west coast:

And take a load of baggage...if the airline will allow for the extra poundage...BOL!!

Will this pass the Luggage allowance size test?

Fasten your seatbelts!

Where they'll rent a car...

BOL!!!

They likely will not go on one of these...

But they likely will see lots of these:

Those two ladies will likely use this type of thing a lot, though:

They sure do not want to see any of this:

Or encounter too much of this kind of thing:

The highlight of this trip will be a family gathering for a wedding.

Here is a toast to the happy couple:

And here they are!!

We'll be back to our regular type of blogging soon, but first we have to have petcretary back home, and us too of course, as we are right now in the home away from home, aka doggy jail...at least that is what we call it...petcretary says it is a doggy hotel!

We are very wordy today...but we wanted you all to know why we are absent. Any mementos that need making will happen later...we hope you understand...See ya'll!
