Saturday Critters Under the Influence of Love

These pets belong to my relatives and they're all under the influence of love! The cats in my life are mostly connoisseurs of comfort (most not pictured today) and a couple are prone to dominance as their middle name. 







One look says it all.
Sparkle being Sparkle.



"Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have 
an obligation and responsibility
 to preserve and nurture
 and care for all life."
 James Cromwell



Hugging- Great for giving and receiving.




Wait! Did he say who wants a hot dog?





Rocky.

My niece's pup just home from the animal hospital.
 He got into his heart medication and ate
 over a week's supply. It was a scary time.
Thank goodness he survived!



Bugsly is beyond adorably sweet!

A cup of coffee shared with a friend 
is happiness tasted and well spent.




Far away there in the sunshine

are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them but I can look up
and see their beauty, believe in them
and try to follow them.
Louisa May Alcott




One must be kind
for every bunny is 
fighting a hard battle.
from
Bunny Buddhism
and

"Simple things can be extraordinary to the bunny who chooses to see them."
"The bunny who chews at his wound does not allow it to heal."
"We must consider the paw prints we leave on this earth so future bunnies will have a place to hop."




Jasmine.

"But if you really want to learn about life, get a cat."
James Cromwell


Backyard camping.
Dogs and humans only. 
Sorry
No cats allowed.


Me, myself and I today. Walking the artsy trail.



Moose.


Butterflies.

"Just living isn't enough," said a wise butterfly,
"One must have sunshine, freedom
and a little flower."
Hans Christian Anderson




Lion, lion on a wall
who's the fairest of them all?


In keeping with our Saturday Critter theme here's my daughter showing off her
 Scooby-Doo pattern for her mask making project.






"Always live your life with one dream to fulfill.
No matter how many of your dreams you have realized 
in the past, always have a dream to go.
Because when you stop dreaming, life becomes 
a mundane existence.
Sara Henderson 1936

Thank you for stopping in
Be safe. 
Take good care of you.

Love all your quotes and critters here today Karen but for me the cutest, sweetest most adorable prize goes to Rocky, he looks like he's been up to mischief, but how could you possibly be cross with him 😉
