Corination Day

I, King Cody, crown thee, Katy to be my Queen!

Forever Friends

 

Gracie has learned to share with Cody!

 

 

Gracie has also learned to share with Katy!

 

 

There was never any problem with Xena and Cody sharing with one another!

 

 

 

Dolly has just started sharing with Xena.

 

 

 

It was cold on this day! Sharing body heat brought about sleep!

 

I miss my Sam, but he loved to sleep next to the two new kittens, Cody and Katy.

 

 

 

This is a very old picture! Sam and Sarah were three years old and Gracie was one.

 

An old piece of furniture that went to the dogs! They now do not get on the new furniture!

 

 

They all get along and share really well!

Jerry's 19th Birthday!

I can't believe it has already been 19 years!

I wish I had taken pictures when he was a little fuzz ball in his incubator! I hand fed him from a syringe with a mush I had gotten from my vet (Dr. Miller) who owned Jerry's parent birds.

The picture below was from a previous birthday party I had for him!

Jerry really likes grapes, but he can be very messy when he eats grapes because he scrapes out the meat of the grape slinging the skin wherever it goes!

 

The birds room has a palm tree-beach scene on the two adjacent walls (L shaped.) 

This is an old picture! Jerry liked to sit on my shoulder as mom and I would watch t.v. I just finished telling him, "You behave yourself now!" When he fluffs, he's about to get himself into trouble, ha! Now, when I go into the room to get after Max and his noise, upon entry Jerry now says, "You behave yourself!"

 

Dr. Jeffrey Miller has been one of my vets (particularly my birds) since 1984. He recently passed away from ALS two weeks ago. My pets and I really do miss him already. He had become a great friend over the years. Every time I see Jerry I will remember Jeffrey. Praise our GOD, Jeffrey is with Him now. I as well as many other Christians who knew him will see him again one day in the Presence of our Almighty GOD!

 

 

Valentine's Day in My House

 

Wake up!! Smile, you're on Susie's camera!

(-: To much concentration on taking the picture, I forgot to smile :-)

 

 

 

  

Look who decided to join in, Cody!

Katy chose to look out the window!

 

 

  

Cody just loves Xena! Every chance he gets he is giving Xena affection!

 

 

 

Katy wishes Cody would be that affectionate to her. Cody would rather wrestle!

 

 

 

When he's finished he gives Katy a kiss!

 

 

Valentine's Day was topped off when Nellie came by and surprised me with a Valentine card and delicious chocolates!
*
Thank you, Nellie. I surely enjoyed our time.

What's Pink and White and Red all Over?

Valentine's Day is here!

To all my blogger friends, won't you...

 

My Seven O'clock Mornings

 

Yea! I can again upload my pictures like I always did without having to go through the HTML!

*

I'm usually up by 6:30 in the morning. After I have let out the dogs, cleaned the cat's litter pan, given Sarah her medicine and food, filled up the cats and dogs water dishes (all six of them), let the dogs back in, mix up the dogs food, Cody and Katy's food too, I take it out to them! While they are all eating, I go back into the kitchen, cut up the birds bananas, take my medicine with a bite of banana, clean out their fruit and water dishes, put in fresh fruit as Jerry bird sits on my shoulder playing with my ear (talking in my ear, "I want to go see grandma), I take him to see her picture in the foyer, get all of their dishes put back into their cages, exit the room with Jerry saying, "Mom's gotta go to work," Max saying, "Bye-bye," Cuddles saying, "You're a pretty bird," in which I reply to them, "Praise the LORD I don't have to go to work, bye-bye, and thank you, Cuddles that you think I'm a pretty bird!" LOL!

*
Then my day begins with my worship of the LORD and what He has for me this day! I have been reading through the Bible (1 chapter a day.) I am now in Romans.

 

 

 

I have been using my mom's Bible. It is the Life Application Bible New International version with commentary. 

These are the other study materials I also use.  I subscribe to "Our Daily Bread," Charles Stanley's daily Bible study, my little school house Bible cards that my former Principal's mom gave to me, Joyce Meyer's daily devotional, "Trusting GOD Day By Day," and one other daily study guide by Oswald Chambers called, "Joy and Peace." (in the picture below.) 

I have a daily writing journal which I write  my responses to the things I have read and how it pertains to me as the Holy Spirit leads my thoughts. It's amazing how so many different reading materials can pull together with a single message the LORD reveals to my heart! This message will lead me to pray for the needs of others that the LORD brings to mind from the words I have read. Those people may be family, friends, members in my church, those I have seen on t.v., politicians, scientists, and countries as a whole.

*

Many times I will share with the LORD my frustrations about the wayward world that has entered that wide gate which leads to destruction and question why they refuse to see His Truth.

*

Other times I am so overjoyed at what our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD has planned for those that love His Appearing! And, especially so when I have the Gaither Homecoming Gospel Hour playing their all inspiring music lifting up songs of blessings to His Glory! This mountaintop joy is what sustains His Children when they are in the valleys of life. 

*

I praise GOD for what awaits His Children in Heaven. Thank You, LORD GOD, for what you have for us in this life to grow in our faith and trust in Your mercy and grace. All hail the Power of Jesus' Name!    

Restful Sleep

It appears that Cody has learned to like my shoes as well!

 

 

 

Sharing! Gracie, Cody, and Xena.

 

 

 

 

150 pounds of dogs on one little bed!

 

 

 

Sleep, sleep, sleeeeeeep!
