Day 30/30 Marco Photo Challenge

Day 30/30 Marco Photo Challenge My dogs have such a tough life. Sleep, eat, nap, drink water, nap, eat, nap and then it's time for bed. I want to be one of my dogs. This Lady aka Lady Bug she was my first Westie. She is the one that spend the most time with me. She lays on the cough by me and sleeps with me at night. She is my best bud and I love her dearly. You can really see but she almost always lays on a quilt that my mother-in-law made for me many years ago. She thinks it is her blanket and she must lay on it. And of course I let her she is my sweetie.

Day 20/30 Marco Photo Challenge This is my sons idea of how to discourage Robin's from roosting in our window wells.

I'll see if I can come up with something today.
