Kindest Souls and a Critter Rescue

Rusty keeping watch over his grounds.

Today, and actually every single day, let's honor our pets and other critters that not only brighten our day, they enrich our hearts and souls.

Welcome to SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

Today might be a great day to share your favorite toys!

Is there anyone out there that doesn't like yard critters?

Here are a few from my recent trip to Frankenmuth, Michigan. If I'd only had a huge truck with me to bring them all home! 

I especially enjoy hand-carvings. 

These eyes are watching you.

Some things just fill your heart naturally without even trying.

Baby Raccoons rescued!

So what a treat knowing that grown men were involved in this raccoon rescue. I wish I'd been there. The story and photos made my day.

Look closely as you'll see one of the cub or kit as they're referred to  peeking out from where his or her fellow litter mates already jumped to safety. There were four baby raccoons trapped inside this building and luckily they managed to escape safely and were offered water before being carefully taken to a safer location in hopes their mother can relocate them. Or possibly their mother had sent out on their own?

We all know better to not mess with a grown raccoon, babies are the exception, just don't bring any of them home!

Today's the day to capture a critter or two!

These Eyes, 

not only light your way, 

they guide you.

It's not what happens to you, 

but how you react to it that matters.

It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks they already know.

Does anyone recall that famous line from the American sitcom Hogan's Heroes?

I know nothing! 

Yep, that's me on the end.

Chillin' with My Gnomies I hope you do too!

Thanks for stopping in.

Enjoy your weekend and take good care of you.
