Nap Time

Nap time -- my favorite part of the day, aside from playing, eating, and watching tv.








Gee, I even fell asleep during last year's holiday photo shoot.










Sweet dreams my friends.

Let's Play

How 'bout we play a game of tug?

Let's start with this football.

Grab the end of the rope.

How about we play with the duck?

I'll throw it and you try to catch it, okay?



It sure can be tiring to play with an imaginary friend.

Dancing in my Sleep

My legs and paws were all movin'. Too bad, mom was not quick enough to grab the recorder to capture all my moves.

Please Do Not Disturb

Do you sometimes feel the need to find a quiet spot to rest and hide? I do. Though mom still manages to track me down. Mom gets suspicious and she'll check if I'm tearing up paper or playing with shoes or socks. I probably need to put a do not disturb or privacy please sign.
Oops, I'm busted, my nail marks can be seen at the back of the couch.


I like to squeeze myself between the trash bin and scanner.

Paw (Pay) it Forward Day

I'd like to introduce you to my furry friend, surf dog Ricochet.

Not only does Ric surfs for fun and raises money for various charitable causes, she's also the Ambassador for Pay it Forward and I'm sharing the email Ric's mom sent us.

Hey Everyone!
Have you ever seen the movie "Pay it Forward"? It's about a 12 year old boy who did three good deeds for others in need. All he asked in return, was for them to pass on the good deed to three other people, and keep the cycle going.
Well, there's a "Pay It Forward Day" on April 29th, and Ricochet was asked to be an ambassador for it. So, she wants to know if you'd like to get involved? All you have to do is perform three acts of kindness for three people on April 29th, and then instruct them to pay the favor forward.
If you can pay this email forward to your friends, post on your blog/Facebook page, etc... that will count for one good deed! , This will help get the word out, so the cycle of generosity and kindness will ripple across the world, making us all better people.
The link to her web page has all the information, including a new video she made (I edited) about Pay It Forward Day. I haven't heard that the video needs a kleenex warning, but if that changes, I'll let you know!
There are over 15 countries involved, hundreds of schools are participating, and thousands of people will be paying it forward across the world. Will you join us?
P.S. Ricochet says dogs can "paw" it forward on the 29th, if your dog wants to get involved!

Thanks!
Judy & Ricochet (Rina too)

Hope you can spread the word on Paw (Pay) it Forward Day. Thanks.

Oh, my, an Award!

Gosh, I am honored (blush, blush). First, I'd like to thank the academy for this award. Oops, wrong speech, where are my notes? Seriously, thank you to my friends Sam and June from YD's A Little Bit of Everything Place and to Wrigley for presenting me with a Sunshine Award. I'm thrilled to receive this award. My four months of blogging brought me new furry friends from across the U.S. and overseas. Thank you for bringing sunshine to my day. To all my friends - You deserve this award too.
