My Two Cent’s

Is there really a “Rainbow Bridge”? If you’re wondering what that

is, it’s a place where our pets supposedly go when they pass.

There’s a lovely little poem that other pet lovers sometimes send

when a family has lost their fury family member. I like to think

there’s somewhere nice for them because in September we had

to say goodbye to our special white boxer Monty. We all know

they’re not people, it’s not like we’re missing out on their

graduation or their wedding day but still it’s so sad. Maybe it’s because they have such

unconditional love, or because they are always so full of joy. Whatever it is, there is no deny-

ing that they stay in our hearts forever.

If there is a rainbow bridge, they just gained a goofball

Not only do I want to find homes for wonderful families, I also want to help in any way possible to bring homeless pets to their forever home too! Have a look at this month’s featured dog…

Chara, the epitome of a graceful, regal and loyal purebred German Shepherd. This gorgeous girl will make you laugh with her silly antics, keep you warm with her loving snuggles, and help you feel safe when you're alone.TAGS is looking for a permanent or foster home for Chara.

Chara is eagerly awaiting placement in a loving, quiet and experienced adult home (permanent or foster), one where someone is home much of the time to provide the lovable Chara with the exercise and structure that she needs as well as the closeness she craves.

Sunday Oct. 9th: Guess who was at the game when our beloved Blue Jays swept Texas? I sat in the 500 section and let me tell you it is underrated. I took a picture of my view so I could share with you all. Perspective of where the fly balls are actually headed is a little off, but other than that you can see everything, including the ding dongs who throw beer on the field. That was so disappointing wasn’t it? I’ve been a lifelong baseball fan and still volunteer my time with organized amateur baseball so to watch our team do so well is especially thrilling for me. I was hoping to see Cleveland in the ALCS even though their small ball game frightens me a bit. It is sure to be a series to watch. I can’t imagine the excitement throughout our country if we actually make it back to The World Series! Who remembers where they were the last time we won The World Series? Send me an email or a text and share. I would love to know if you remember the day. In the mean-time, I will be glued to my set. I hope you will be too! This is a time to celebrate. Let’s Go Blue Jays!

Top Ways to Cozy Up Your Home

Add a Throw Blanket: Nubby knits are an ideal companion for chilly nights at home with a movie.

Plus, they temporarily add seasonal pattern and colour to your home.

Pile Up Pillows: Paired with a warm blanket, pillows become snuggle buddies during on-the-sofa

homework help or bill paying. Look for pillows with a lot of texture. Then pile them on the sofa and

think about investing in or making larger ones for the floor.

Gather Around the Hearth: A crackling fire naturally draws people to it, so accommodate that with

extra seating around your hearth. For the fall and winter months, rearrange your furniture to shift

your conversation area to the fireplace.

Line Tables with Fabric: Bare tables, while perfect for breezy summers, are too stark for fall. Cover

them up with seasonally appropriate runners.

Get Cozy: Tablecloths are expected, but a runner is an even easier way to dress up a table. Get creative and use a long scarf, a

fabric remnant, or a thin blanket as a runner.

Try an Area Rug: Nothing heralds the pending arrival of winter quite like a cold floor on bare feet. Fend off icy toes by placing

area rugs in well-traveled spots in the home. Or layer area rugs for even more coziness.

Hang Heavier Drapes: Heavy drapes keep out drafts and lend an opulence to the room, especially if you let them pool an inch or

so on the ground. Switch out summer sheers for pattern drapes with a heavier hand.

Layer Bedding: Introduce extras to your bed for the fall and winter months. Layer in additional pillow pairs and place a

decorative throw in a seasonal color or pattern across the foot of the bed. Source: www.bhg.com
