Boxing Day, or is that Boxer Day

Leon and I had a wonderfully entertaining four hour lunch with bloggers: Brian, Diane, Rose, and Ann today. We all received attention and paid attention to each other, the way it should be, however, before we left this morning to go out, Bella and I had a safety issue, and, when I am in charge, safety rules. She didn’t like it much and chose to continue her pout when we returned home.

To be read with total disregard for the lack of rhythm or flow in the writing:

Twas the day after Christmas and all through this house
Bella reigned queen

(as only an elder and sweet dog could do)

And though she’s pouting because I admonished her,
and though she’s ignoring me
(and loving Leon most, to spite me)
she’s still beautiful Bella
and I would give up yet another trip to far away places just to spend Christmas with her

but next bleeping time, Leon can be the villain!

Yes, Only the Good, Friday time today, and my good thought for the day is all of the above, family, friends, temporary pets (like grandchildren, only the good parts, grin.) Now, I wrote this Friday as part of Only the Good Friday request from Shelly at This Eclectic Life, but got distracted by the still, at the time, pouting Bella. This morning I was her friend again… ahhh, a good morning, grin.

Find the good in your day or in the world around you and join in! It is a guaranteed smile and feel good inside moment. Head on over to Shelly’s and follow the links to more reasons to smile.

May your last five days of the year bring smiles, no pouting, and a nod to your neighbors.

Please note: though I try to keep my blog at the most PG rated, and usually only G, occasionally the blogs I link to are not. I originally planned to only link to those that were, however, life is not only G and PG and I doubt my readers live in only a G and PG world… More like a 17 required or something. So, follow any links ONLY if you are not a child or minor — just in case. After all, as adults if you flip on something beyond your realm, you will have the presence of mind to click back off. Thanks.
