Great Dane Slide

If at first you don't succeed...

Found this video about two cute dogs on Pinterest.  Shows the determination of a Basenji puppy, trying to get comfy on a Great Dane.  The big dog didn't seem to care much about what was going on.

I was wanting to do something really cute and special for Valentine's Day, so I was searching through Google Images and found some cute animal pics.  Hope they make you smile and warm your heart on this special day of love.  Valentine's Day is traditionally a day when lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, candies, cards and other gifts of affection.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Mr. Girl

I was browsing in a store the other day, and there were two little kids with their mom shopping in the same area of the store as myself.  The kids were sitting in a double stroller (similar to the picture above).  I had given them a warm smile, because they looked so cute.  They were even giggling at one point.   The girl was about 3 years and the boy was about 1.  He was holding a sippy cup in his hands.  Their mom was looking at some books on a shelf, with her back to the children, and suddenly I heard something hard and plastic fall to the floor, close to my feet.  I looked down, and saw that the little boys cup had fallen onto the floor.  I turned back to what I was doing, assuming that the mother would pick up the cup.

A few seconds later, I heard in a very small, sweet female voice,

"Mr. Girl, he dropped his cup".

My heart just melted when I heard this faint, polite plea for assistance.  I willingly bent down to pick up the cup and returned it to the little boy, smiling at both of the children.

Their Mom noticed what had occurred, and smiled back and said, "Thank you".

That's the first time I have ever been called "Mr. Girl".  It was so sweet.

Have a great day!

It's A Girl!

One of the sweetest joys in life is the much anticipated arrival of a new baby.

A new baby has come into my life, and I am overjoyed!  My brother and his wife have given birth to a beautiful little baby girl.  Although I have a lot of nieces and nephews on my husband's side, I have never had one on my side of the family until now.  This baby is different because I am related to her, by blood.  Funny how I see a resemblance of myself in her.  It is so exciting to have a new family member.  I am one proud Auntie and I love her to pieces already (and I haven't even met her yet).  I have seen pictures and we have video-chatted on Skype, and I'll get to meet her in person really soon.  I went shopping for baby clothes, and it is so much fun picking out little outfits for her.  She makes me happy.

Here are some of my favourite baby sayings:

Children reinvent the world for you. - Susan Sarandon

Making the decision to have a child is momentous.  It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. - Elizabeth Stone

Babies are such a nice way to start people. - Don Herold

A baby will be much more work than you could have ever expected, but it will bring you much more joy than you could have ever imagined. - Angela Gentile

First Kiss

Do you remember when you had your first kiss?  On the lips?!!  Here's a cute video where a little boy and girl's first kiss is so innocently captured on video.  It's so sweet, and it's called, "High Five for First Kiss (original)".

The Little Don Juan ♥

With Romeo and Juliet, you're talking about two people who meet one night, and get married the same night.  I believe in love at first sight - but it hasn't happened to me yet.  

- Leonardo DiCaprio

 
My 13-year-old daughter, Simone, went to a local fast food restaurant with four of her friends.  They had finished eating, and went over to the play structure to "hang out".  My daughter noticed a young blond-haired boy, about six years old, staring at her from the play structure.  She was sitting on the side of the structure, and he came over and asked,

     "Do you want to be my friend?"
 
     "I would LOVE to be your friend", she replied.

They exchanged names.  He went on to tell her that she was "so beautiful".  Her friends were snickering and enjoying the exchange between Simone and this young boy, apparently awestruck.

Then he asked,

     "Oh, do you want to get married?"

     "Ya, of course I'd get married", she said.

He started to follow her everywhere.  Then he started holding on to her arm, and hugging her.  He started to kiss her hand, and put his arm around her.  At this point, she was feeling a little uncomfortable, and wished that he would leave her alone.  She devised a get-away plan.  She said a little white lie, and told this little boy that one of her male friends was in fact her boyfriend.  This little boy then started standing up to him, and he was shaking his fist in his face.  All of Simone's friends were holding back their laughter at this point, trying not to make this little boy feel bad.  At one point this little Don Juan was thinking of kissing her on the lips, but Simone was able to divert a very awkward moment by saying that she couldn't kiss him on the lips, because then it would be like cheating on her "boyfriend".

Eventually Simone left the play structure area, and the little boy went over to share his excitement with his Grandmother.  She came over to Simone, smiled, and said in an embarrassing tone, "It sounds like you have a little admirer".  Simone replied equally embarrassed with, "Um, ya". 

As Simone and her friends were leaving the restaurant, this little boy said, desperately,

     "Are you gonna come back?" as he blew her a kiss.

     "Ya, I'll be back", she replied; and smiled.


Have a nice day!

Putting Baby to Sleep

Check out this cute YouTube video, called, Father goes into Baby Crib.  It reminds me of the days when my kids were young.  They loved to fall asleep with Mom or Dad.  If you try to move before they are in a deep sleep, they wake up and you're back to square one.  I never did get into the baby crib though!  Those sleep-deprived days are long-gone now for me.  Here's the home video by Nunzio Raso of this precious moment with his daughter Michela.  The perfect music makes it a joy to watch.

Mila's Daydreams

Thanks to my friend Kirsten for sharing an email with me.  It was about a baby whose mom (Adele Enersen) makes up little scenes of her "daydreams" while she is sleeping.  It's really cute and it's worth a look if you like creativity, babies and cuteness!

Searching for Love

Did you know that in 2010 the most searched-for word on Google was "Love"?  Oprah talked about it.  It's so nice to know that what most people are looking for on the internet is positive. Love makes the world go around, and finding it on the internet is a great thing.  I plugged in the word "love" into my Google search engine, and it came back with "About 1,680,000,000 results" (or 1 billion, 680 million).  Not only is it the most searched word on the internet, but the internet has a lot of resources for those who are searching for love.

The first site that popped up for my Google search of the word "love," is the Love (disambiguation) page on Wikipedia.  The second is the Love Calculator.  By plugging in the names of two people the Love Calculator tells in a percentage what their chances are at love. After that comes videos, images, and love letters.

Have a great day filled with love!

Update: Love is no longer the top searched word on Google, but it gets about 25,270,000,000  (or 25 billion, 270 million!) results as of October 6, 2016! That's 25 times more than six years ago!

The Zonkey (a cute little hybrid)

Here's one of the cutest things I ever saw.  A cross between a donkey and a zebra.  The stripes on her legs and face give it away.  Zebras and donkeys usually don't mate, so this is a rare find.  This little gal is four days old.  She is standing by her mother's side and they live at the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve in Georgia, USA.

Call her a zonkey or a zedonk, or call her just plain cute.  Couldn't resist sharing.

To find out more about the zonkey, go to this link:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zonkey
