Saturday Centus - Resolution! Schmezolution! - 31- December 2011

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
         I'm happy you stopped by






             My years end, Saturday Centus!    Jenny from "Off on my tangent" has been so kind to finish the year with such a cool picture (and we can offer more too) and just say what ever.......... in 102 words!  How X-Cool is that!  Very cool!

Here is my offering

Resolution! Schmezolution! Not for me!

It’s been yet another dog year, and again the cats have ruled more than people at my house. This year, I promise to recover my dignity more often, and explain my actions even when I can’t always explain myself.


I’ll try new things, forget who may step on me, ask for attention (without whining) and recognize the joy in everything.  Oh and most importantly, I’ll obey my instincts, understand silences, and always be a good listener when someone speaks!  No begging either!


Pretty much, I’ll just be me and try to stay out of ……

                             "The dog pound!  Not a good place to be, ever!" the dog.


If you want to view more Saturday Centus, I promise you'll enjoy yourself, bunches

May happiness and good fortune follow you all through the new year and beyond, and remember no matter what - don't step on the little creatures you meet along the way....especially Daddy Long Legs!

Philadelphia you really know how to put on a New Year's Day Parade!
