What is a pet? Sometimes he is most resourceful. I don’t know how he managed it, but this is how I found my pillow-loving pup. Hearing a rustle while working at my computer, I turned around to see Raider, my miniature Schnauzer, in this unique position.

What Is a PET?
A pet is a playmate, partner, a pleasure
Who brighten your life from the start-
A lovable, laughable, huggable treasure
Who wins a warm place in your heart.
A pet is a jester, a trickster, a tease
Who’s always prepared to perform-
A pouncer, a bounder, a fetcher, a pleaser
Whose greeting is welcome and warm.
A pet is a blessing for so many reasons,
A gift of delight that endures-
A faithful companion, a friend for all seasons
Whose home, now and always, is yours!By Mary Catherine Shannon

so adorable. I have just had the pleasure of a dog joining the family and she is such a blessing. Thank you for sharing these words.
Oh your precious dog is like ours and we find her often under a pillow…she is has been sick this week, so sad…yours looks like a queen!
That Raider is a love! I hope your daughter will be well soon. I see that she had a leap year baby. She's beautiful! Blessings to you all, Tammy
How precious! They do bring a home a lot of joy! Have a nice weekend! ♥
Raider is such a sweetheart! And who knows how he got in that position, with the pillow on his back. I'll bet it took some work!
Oh Raider is such a cute, sweet and very smart pupcub. I treasure our pets and your words rang so true! Have a Happy!
I'd say Raider is a pretty perfect pet! Cute too!
Awww, that is so sweet!
Oh MY WORD!! What GORGEOUS pictures you've got here! I'm in awe! Lingering…
So glad you stopped over at WFW this week at ICDevos! It's such a blessing to meet new ladies through this ministry!
Again, your photos are absolutely gorgeous and as a photographer wannabe, I'm in awe! THAT Raider is absolutely PRICELESS!!

How cute is he? He just wanted to snuggle down for a long winter's nap.

Hello, I too have a Schnauzer but mine is white. They are such sweet dogs and very playful. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving kind words and I'm glad you enjoy my graphics. I notice we have a lot in common including genealogy and knitting. Have a great weekend. Peggy
Oh he is so cute!! ~Love Heather
Forgot to say I love that poem
Well isn't Raider the talented one 🙂 Duke wants to know his secret 🙂
He certainly looks comfortable, cozy and quite relaxed. Our pets have that on us, don't they?
I love this ~ he is totally adorable! The poem is so true isn't it? My boy is my constant companion and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Well, how cute is that!?! He looks pretty darned comfortable to me! We used to have a miniature poodle that I called Dead Dog because she would lay in such awkward positions and you had to really nudge her to get her to respond if she was sleeping heavily. I used to think she had died about half the time~ xo Diana
oh be still my heart!!!!! it's moments like this that you just have to know that life is good!!!! blessed with such a special gift!!!! i adore this little guy — he should be with vogue as he strikes his pose!!!! thanks for sharing!!! : ) your pictures by the way are AMAZING!!!!! hugs… i am going to look at your little girl from Haiti — we have a little boy from Kenya : )
It's a moment like that – the smile or laugh that your Pet teases out of you, unknowingly – that is the magic of the relationship. Such a cute photo of a funny moment!
Your Radar, a pet who is extra cute!!!!
Precious pictures and poem, Lorraine.
How cute he is! I want just squeeze him (gently)! I know, they are smart creatures. My cat use to cover himself all the time too.
He is sooooo cute.
Wow, love your white decor!!
You know I love pets too!
kisses,
Lorraine
How cute and sweet! We always had a dog when I was growing up. However, my husband has such allergies so we can't have one in our home. So I visit my mother-in-law and her Cocker Spaniel Barney. He is so sweet and loves to lick and hug me. 🙂
Blessings and love,
Debbie
Cute dog…hope his feet were clean before jumping on your lovely white sofa!
This is so sweet! He looks so adorable lying there! We had a cat once that would empty the tissue box and put the tissues in the bathroom sink and lay in the sink in his little bed. Enjoy you day!
