According to Buddha
When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once.
what’s chasing you? ooh-ooh-ooh oooh
what’s chasing you? ooh-ooh-ooh oooh
i don’t understand a single word that you say
baby are you talking to me?
words that twist around a wire again make
you send through all your secrets to your heart (this line i’m not sure)
what’s chasing you? ooh-ooh-ooh oooh
what’s chasing you? ooh-ooh-ooh oooh

Computer issues…..can be very frustrating.
Indeed annoying…I think I’ll be up again later this week ☺️💫🤓
Wow, what a pup portrait this is! (I can picture little balls of ice between the toes, ouch!) Happy weekend, Hedy!
Yup yup you know these days…it’s been quiet bitter so warm up for toe balls will be okay ☺️🤓💫☀️❄️
Oh what a gorgeous pooch! Lovely shot … I’m still absorbing that quote and wondering about that lion! What’s your dog’s name Hedy 🙂
Ahhhhh that inner lion 🤓😀 her name is Juno ❤️ 🐶😀 have a roaring day dear Julie ☺️💫
And to you dear Hedy! 😃
What a tongue!
Indeed it’s a lot 😳😜😀
that is so cool… …powerful, waggish and sublime… ….you can see so many features in that face. I guess we all love that photo… …execpt the postman 😀 😉 smiles to you, Hedy! 🙂 🙂 🙂
yes she is not fond of males runners…or men who deliver things to the house…she also doesn’t like ppl in hoodies…she’s a lot of dog…big heart but tough, yet gentle…she’s my protector…I feel vey safe with her 🙂 I 💕 her vey much 😀 smiles over the pond Markus!
Though this dog is probably quite friendly, the close-up and the contrast of the red tongue turns it into a near Stephen King mutt.
646?
(Puzzled emoticon?)
she’s a tough mutt also she has put back the weight she lost from her vaccination damage…she’s back to 107 lbs 😀 but now we have another health issue…next week she has a surgery for a mast on her foot…she’s a great dog…she’s my protector…she’s stubborn and a survivor I’m doing all I can to make her days happy 😊 yes the numbers for my posts can be my biggest challenge as I’m not fond of numbers ~ smiles hedy 🙂
Vaccination dammage? How terrible. But 100 lbs seems like a BIG recovery. (How old is she?)
Numbers, numbers… are a thing I came to learn. For work. (Market research and stats). Numbers are perfect. So simple and true. 🙂
she’s up to 107 now…yes it was a tough journey for her…well all of us…lots and lots of care to build back up her strength and clear her skin so we did massage, acupuncture and reiki…she’s not the same but she is ok…unfortunately this week she needs a surgery to have a growth removed form her foot…she’s 8.5 💫…numbers are amazing…just not how my hedy head works…I’m visual…smiles Brian 🙂
🙂 Good luck with the surgery.
fingers crossed! 😀
Do let us know.
she’s beside me now sighing…later today I will remove the medicast and see how it’s healing…she seems pretty good…keeping her still is the challenge as the days go along til her stitches are removed….ahhhhhh mutts 💫☺️🙏
Stiches? Hmm. Well, I hope she heals fast. Best of luck
me too…she tough! ☺️💫
What a brilliant shot! Juno is gorgeous and she’s a very lucky doggy too! 😉
thanks Kindly Marina…she found us…I feel lucky too… 🙂
What a dog! Interesting post.
thank you dear Alex 😀 she’s a tough mutt! smiles hedy 🙂
