100 Happy Days: 26

It was Monday from start to finish. I’m sure the fact that I don’t feel well affects my perspective, but today has sorely tested my good will and my good efforts.

What makes me happy is this silly bin of freshly laundered dog toys ready for the next transport. They may look a bit bedraggled but that’s because they’ve been greatly loved. Every dog gets a toy to travel with. S/He can play with it, bite it, or snuggle with it, but it’s hers or his for the journey (and sometimes when the toys are sent by their Houston fosters, they go with the dogs to their Colorado foster and forever homes). Occasionally they’re too loved and they have to be retired, but there are always fresh toys provided by donors.

Sometimes when we’re getting everything we need on a journey, it’s also good to have a reminder to play.

100 Happy Days: 20

I made it to Day 20 before I resorted to a food post! Here are the sides for our Tex-Mex tonight: cheese, sour cream, chiles, onions, black olives, tomatoes, and lettuce to go in beef and/or bean burritos, or to become part of nachos or taco salad along with chips and queso, and Mexican rice. Hungry?

You will note the absence of jalapeños. I can’t take the heat.
