Straw Hat Day

 Our regularly scheduled Sparks post will return next week.  We're not sure how we missed it but yesterday was Straw Hat Day!  We wanted to share some of our great memories of other years and include one of Reesie in her Straw Hat!

First we're sharing Angel Ellie and Angel Allie wearing their Straw Hats.  Angel Ellie was really excited about Straw Hat Day!

Angel Allie, always sophisticated!

Noelle 

Raz (notice the stylish fev-ver!)

And Reesie!

We hope you enjoyed Straw Hat Day (a day late)

Sunday Selfies

 We're pawticipating in The Cat on My Head's Sunday Selfies today.

I took my Selfies on my birthday.  Somehow my two sisfurs managed to photobomb BOTH photos!

This really should be a Photo Fail but I wanted to show you what was in the box.  A GINORMOUS tub of Temptations!

Living in Florida, we are always aware of the possibility of having to leave for a Hurricane.  Here's a list of important things to make sure you have: 

• Food. Keep several days’ supply of food in an airtight, waterproof container.
• Water. Store a water bowl and several days’ supply of water.
• Medicine. Keep an extra supply of the medicine your pet takes on a regular basis in a waterproof container.
• First aid kit. Talk to your veterinarian about what is most appropriate for your pet’s emergency medical needs.
• Collar with ID tag and a harness or leash. Include a backup leash, collar and ID tag. Have copies of your pet’s registration information and other relevant documents in a waterproof container and available electronically.

• Traveling bag, crate or sturdy carrier, ideally one for each pet.

• Grooming items. Pet shampoo, conditioner and other items, in case your pet needs some cleaning up.

• Sanitation needs. Include pet litter and litter box (if appropriate), newspapers, paper towels, plastic trash bags and household chlorine bleach to provide for your pet’s sanitation needs.

• A picture of you and your pet together. If you become separated from your pet during an emergency, a picture of you and your pet together will help you document ownership and allow others to assist you in identifying your pet.

• Familiar items. Put favorite toys, treats or bedding in your kit. Familiar items can help reduce stress for your pet.

Here's Raz checking out the big tent we use if there is a storm heading our way!

We thought the Lightning effect in Painnt was purrfect and added a frame with Pizap.

And we made a puzzle!

Monday Sparks

 Even though McGuffy's reader is taking a break, we are continuing our Monday Sparks posts!  From the original Sparks posts:

Welcome to Sparks. Many years ago, it was my intent to post an inspirational thought each Monday. It would be my weekly meditation, and perhaps feed other people's spirit as well. Life got busy, and this fell by the wayside. Now, I feel a strong need to bring this feature back. 
The negative energy in the world has become thick and oppressive. Social media has become a part of this dark, negative storm. There is an obvious universal need for more positive energy and peace. And, we can all be part of this affirmative change. 
I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!
I hope you will join us. Please link up a positive quote, thought, poem, or verse. The badge and code can be found in my sidebar. Add the badge to your post to invite others. The more, the merrier. I welcome your thoughts. Peace.

Here's our Spark for today:

Sunday Selfies

Our artwork today is something we did in memory of our friend and fellow blogger Paula Gregg of Sweet Purrfections.  Mom was lucky enough to have met her a few times when she came to Florida and they talked on the phone quite a few times too.  She had a beautiful smile and was a truly beautiful person.  Gone way too soon and will be missed by many.  We know there have been some lovely tribute photos but we chose this one because we liked what it said.

You can read her obituary HERE.
