Time to spare

Since I am killing time this morning blogging before I get my little one up, I have chosen to share pics of pets!

This is Molly! She is 11 yrs old already. She was chosen at a shelter because she resembled a beloved cat named Angelo who had passed away at the age of 17. Molly is annoying me this morning. She is our grand dame of the house and currently holds dominance among the other two. She chooses who she shows love to and when. She loves me! She dislikes my oldest child the most! She can move our dog into shameful retreat just by casting her stare, with deep blackened eyes and head slightly forward and down. When she doesn't get what she wants, she jumps from object to object, rumbling deep from her throat...as she is now!



Next up is Hannah, our Miniature Schnauzer and Emmy the cat.
PS. The gross color of wall behind is gone! Terrible attempt! Just plain embarrassing! :)
Hannah, she is moody at times, will voice her displeasure if displaced from the furniture. She frightens easily yet challenges those much larger than herself. She's yippy. She adores my husband! Runs to the back door every time she hears "Daddy's home", even if she is sitting on "daddy's" lap. Can be sneaky...and don't mention the word hot dog. One thing they say never to do is feed your dog human food, well we should of taken that advice. Just at the mention of the word she goes into a panic of glorious anticipation!

Then there is Emmy...sweet, adorable Emmy. She is our "Nermal". Constantly loving, gets along with everyone and anyone, even Hannah. Brings us gifts, we find them lying outside our bedroom door in the morning or just inside the backdoor after returning from errands. Can actually catch a mouse, freakishly ferocious on the two occasions she has had in her short lifespan (3 years). She's petite, wants human contact constantly except when the house is full at holidays. Probably makes Molly jealous!

So why bother blogging about our animals...considering all the times they have done things to disrupt life...we always love and forgive. Hannah has had "accidents", coincidentally after not getting her way...and Molly has broken a few picture frames and nicknack's during her spells of defiance. Emmy....she just doesn't seem to ever do anything wrong!

Yea, they're just animals. I chose to give them human tendencies in this post.
I can choose to do many things...last night before sleep I talked in prayer of why I feel freer this past year than ever before. I am not choosing to do much of the things I did in my past, yet I am happier, more confident, more patient, more forgiving, more loving, especially to spouse and kids, and just more accepting of all circumstances I face.

I pray differently, giving Him more praise than requests. Lately my requests have been more for others than myself, I guess that is a great sign I am trusting more for the things I wish would change in our little foursome.

Strangest prayer request that has come to be...Molly had this disgusting growth on her back that fell off last week. I can not and will not say she was healed through prayer, but thanked Him anyways!
