Back on Line - Happy Days are here again . . .


Again, it has been some time since I posted.
There have been some health issues to sort out as 
well as a few emotional ones to take care of.

Hope I'm back again now without any more hitches.


A shot of my ex-garden last winter


although this is at the same time, it puts springtime 
into my heart again.


My pensive companion, still a little overweight in this early shot.
He has lost the chubbiness he accumulated from his soft hearted
previous owner and continuous snacking.

Kookie has also learned a few manners since that time and
sticks to me like glue.

It is rather nice to have his company and raised voice 
when anyone comes near my yard.

Hope all of you, my friends, are well and happy.

  1. Welcome back, Arija! Glad to see you again. I love your companion, Kookie. I have a very overweight cat since moving to Tanzania, so have taken action as from today. No more extra kibbles for him. He cannot understand it, but I keep telling him, it's for his own good. He doesn't believe me! Have a great day. Jo

  4. What a beautiful dog and so serene looking in that shot. A nice home, lots of love, a warm mat, and food...what more can a pet want....or a person for that matter? The tree makes me long for spring.

    Wishing you a good weekend in this welcome cooler weather - the nights have been even nippier and have had to search out the winter woolies!
    Things sound challenging for you lately, so hope you are O.K. Dear Kookie sounds like he is never far away. Take care dear Arija.

  23. Arija, I am so sorry you have been having so many trials. I hope you are safe and far from the wildfires we have been hearing about on the news here in America. While we await spring, you must be longing for autumn there.

    All is well here at my house. Gus has catart surgery on his ohter eye on Monday and is now seeing better than he has in years!

    I am glad that you have your guarian angel in the form of a fur covered compaion with 4 legs!
