HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYONE!!

WHY GOD MADE MOMS

Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?
1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?
1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
1. We're related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's mom like me.

What kind of a little girl was your mom?
1. My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your mom marry your dad?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my mom eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?
1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms and dads?
1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friends.
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine..

What does your mom do in her spare time?
1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?
1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

We hope you all have a wonderful day.

SOME DAYS ARE SOOO BUSY

Well, my day started out pretty good today.

Dogsister Mistaya and I spent a lot of fun time out in the back yard chasing each other around trying to see who is the toughest.

I think it was a tie.

Then later in the day we carried our tussle into the house and had so much fun playing on M.O.M.'s favorite rug.

We ran around, rolled each other all over the place, snarled like we were angry at each other.

But in the end we decided that we were really great sisters and no one was meaner than the other....cause during our wrestling match we did both cry out at least once each.

So it is still a tie.  A good way to end it.

Then Catsister walked into the room just as I was about to take a nap.

Well, I couldn't just let her waltz through like she owned the place!

So I ran right up to her to ask her just where she thought she was going.

Well, she didn't speak with any words...she didn't have to...her claws spoke real loud!!!

So I decided that it was definitely time for me to look for a place to get in my nap.

It didn't take me long to find the perfect safe, peaceful place to get in my nap after this very strenuous day.

Ah, sweet dreams.

ANOTHER THEME DAY

With all the unexpected snow we have been having here by the sea it made me think about our winters in Montana.

So I am posting some of my photos that I took near our home there during the winters we lived there. Some majestic mountains appear more than once because  each day...or each winter they always look so different.

  Sometimes if just depended on the time of the year. 

or the amount of  snow changes their entire look.

Some were taken off my front porch.

Some just because we just had a very heavy snow storm.

The picture below was taken in Montana but it is a odd shaped mountain across the great divide in the state of Idaho.

The following picture the hill just across our country road in Montana.

I thought the light cast of clouds on the mountain when we were experiencing some winds made a very pretty picture.

I do miss these views that were so close to our home in Montana but I don't miss the 21 degrees below zero temperatures!!

Enjoy all the beautiful scenes you will see during this winter.  There is beauty in all of Mother Nature and she is just waiting for you to capture many of them with your own camera.

A WONDERFUL DAY WITH FAMILY

We all ate way to much...

But it was so very good

during another wonderful

Thanksgiving day!

But we really did eat to much!!!

IT MUST BE TIME FOR A LONG SWEET NAP!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!

This picture was taken in our front yard when we lived in Montana.

 Not something we will ever see walk through our yard here by our new home by the sea!

We hope you have a wonderful day.

"THEME DAY"

I decided to make today "THEME DAY" because it is to cold to venture outside to find things to post on Mistaya's blog.

 Can you tell what our theme is??

Is it about sharing your wonderful sticks?

Is it about getting that wonderful massage at last?

Is it about always wanting to be first?

Is it about being the tallest?

Maybe it is about who can take the best nap.

Is it about who can see the UPS man first because he always brings biscuits?

It isn't about who is the toughest!

It's about BEING FRIENDS!!!!

And because it is Thanksgiving week we thought it was the appropriate time to give thanks for all of our wonderful Blogger Friends that have been with us since we started this fun website with Mistaya.

We have enjoyed all your comments and even just your visits to our site.

And we look forward to the coming year and sharing all our new adventures here in our new home by the sea.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OUR BLOGGER FRIENDS!!!

BETWEEN SNOW STORMS

M.O.M. took this picture during one of the rare moments that it actually stopped snowing for a few minutes this afternoon.

It looks just like some of the photos that she took of me while we lived in Montana.  We are having a real hard time believing that we really live 6 feet above sea level here by the sea!

M.O.M. had told me that when we moved to the house by the sea that I may not see my favorite thing...snow...again.  So I was soooo glad to get to go for a walk with her this afternoon,  She let me go with her around the neighborhood without my collar and leash. I had so much fun running up and down the sidewalks in the snow...just like the old days in Montana.

M.O.M. yelled  Mistaya.....Get the Stick!  

Bring it here Mistaya!! 

 Come on..hurry up!!

Oh wait!!! Yikes

Don't worry...no dog was harmed in the making of this post.

And no....this isn't little Mistaya...

let's just say it's a stand in!

HEY! GET OUT OF MY CAR!!

THAT'S ONE VERY PROUD PUP!

RUN PUP, RUN VERY FAST!!!

HEY M.O.M....COMPANY IS HERE!!!

MORE RAIN AND WIND

We did venture out today to go to the store.  M.O.M. & M.O.D. both took umbrella's but the wind was so strong they decided it was wiser to leave their bumper shoots in the car with me.  I heard M.O.D. say something about not wanting to be Mary Poppins or something like that.  Weird.  Can he really be a Mary Poppins???

It has been raining most of the day so I have chosen to spend of my time in the warm house curled up behind M.O.D.'s chair catching a few winks of sleep.

No, M.O.M. didn't take this photo on our way to town.  Although I heard her tell M.O.D. that she wishes she were the one to take this picture.  But she received it in an email this week.  I wonder where this amazing road leads.

NEWS OF THE DAY

We have been having rain almost everyday with a bit of sunshine thrown in during the afternoons.  Just enough sun to give us hope that the winter rain won't last forever.

REMINDER TIME

It is that time of year when the air turns cold and many cold rainy days linger. Please remember all the beautiful dogs, little puppies, cats and precious kittens that are all so desperately in need of warm caring homes at this time of year. 

Please find our next loving pet at your nearest  local pet shelter.

God bless them all.

IT'S STILL RAINING!

I heard M.O.M. say that it is raining so hard that it is raining "Cats and Dogs"!

So I ran to the window to look out side to see this for myself.

But I couldn't see any Cats or Dogs falling from the sky...just a lot of rain.

I don't quite understand the way humans talk sometimes so I will have to give this some thought....maybe a nice long nap will help!

Have you ever seen that type of rain...where there are cats and dogs falling from the sky?

Did you get pictures???

A MODERN "BUCKET SEAT"?

I think that might be considered a "overload"!!

WE ARE SAD THAT HALLOWEEN IS GONE

M.O.M. was a bit nervous about the fact that she didn't see any little kids out on our street doing the Trick or Treat thing about 6:00 last night.  She was excited about doing the Halloween thing for the first time living in a city.  She didn't know if anyone would show up.

Well, she shouldn't have worried....about 6:15 the doorbell started ringing and didn't stop till about 8:30.

It had been raining most of the day and suddenly the rain stopped and didn't rain again until about 10 O'clock that evening.

There were so many cute costumed little kids that we all had so much fun.  There was a parent with each group of Trick or Treaters that came to my door.  M.O.M. said some of the little kids seemed a bit afraid of me when I came running to the door to greet them.  So she had me jump up on the window bench and watch them from our front window.  Many of them did see me in my Bunny costume and waved and smiled at me.  That was fun!

So our first Halloween in our new home by the sea was wonderful and we are already making plans for a bigger and better Halloween next year.  I heard M.O.D. talking about some kind of skeleton things and spooky things out front yard on Halloween next year.  This sounds like it could be a lot of fun again!!!

The little yellow rose is growing in M.O.M.'s garden and there are still lot's of pretty blooms on it.  She loves taking pictures of all her pretty flowers and loves the idea that all the blooms last so much longer here.

 We hope all of you had a wonderful Halloween and got lot's of treats in your trick or treat bags!!

MY STORY

THE BEGINNING OF A PUPPIES LIFE STORY

HI, MY NAME IS MISTAYA AND I AM NOT SURE OF MY BIRTH DATE. I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE BEEN SOMETIME AROUND JULY 13TH BUT THAT'S JUST A GUESS AND I WILL CALL THAT MY BIRTHDAY FROM NOW ON.

YOU SEE, I SEEM TO HAVE MEMORIES OF MY PEOPLE TRYING TO GIVE AWAY MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND ME OUT OF A CARDBOARD BOX IN A STORE PARKING LOT. BUT NO ONE TOOK ME HOME WITH THEM. I WAS VERY YOUNG AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME. THAT EVENING, AFTER THE SUN HAD GONE DOWN AND IT HAD GROWN DARK, THE PEOPLE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT ME OUT ON THE GROUND AND DROVE AWAY. IT WAS SO DARK AND I COULDN'T FIND ANY OF MY FAMILY AND I WAS VERY SCARED. I SPENT THAT NIGHT AND SEVERAL MORE HIDING IN THE WOODS WONDERING WHEN MY PEOPLE WERE COMING BACK TO GET ME. OH, ALL THOSE STRANGE SCARY SOUNDS. IT WAS SO DARK! I CRIED AND CRIED BUT NO ONE CAME TO SAVE ME AND MAKE ME WARM.

SEVERAL DAYS LATER A LADY WITH A SOFT GENTLE VOICE TRIED TO APPROACH ME BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE WANTED. I RAN TO THE LARGEST GROUP OF BUSHES I COULD FIND AND TRIED TO HIDE FROM HER. BUT AS SHE APPROACHED ME AGAIN I THOUGHT I COULD SMELL SOMETHING THAT MADE MY TUMMY STIR. SHE SEEMED SO VERY PATIENT AS SHE DIDN'T GET TO CLOSE AT FIRST. SHE KEPT TALKING TO ME IN HER SOFT GENTLE VOICE AND I STARTED TO THINK THAT MAYBE SHE COULD HELP ME FIND MY FAMILY.

EVENTUALLY MY DESIRE TO RUN AND HIDE WAS OVERRIDDEN BY MY DESIRE TO SURVIVE. I SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY CRAWLED TOWARD HER TRYING TO KEEP AS LOW TO THE GROUND AS POSSIBLE. SHE DIDN'T TRY TO REACH OUT AND GRAB ME BUT SAT QUIETLY AS I APPROACHED HER. AND THEN, THE SWEET TASTE OF SOME SORT OF COOKIE. OH MY, I HAVE NEVER TASTED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. I THINK I LIKE THIS LADY!

THEN I FELT HER ARMS AROUND ME HOLDING ME CLOSE AND I JUST COULDN'T STOP GIVING HER BIG KISSES ALL OVER HER FACE. SHE SPOKE SOFTLY TO ME AS SHE PICKED ME UP AND PLACED ME IN A SAFE FEELING BOX THING AND I FELT THE THING START TO MOVE AND SWAY A BIT. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME BUT THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY NEW LIFE.

TOMORROW THE STORY OF MY FIRST RESCUE BEGINS. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AND PLEASE COME BACK TO READ MORE OF MY STORY.

HI...I HOPE YOU ENJOY MISTAYA'S LIFE STORY. ANY COMMENTS ARE WELCOME. THANKS
