Since the last post was all about Kerby and just a few days ago, we’ve came across a post from another lovely soul, Paulette @ The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap about helping out this animal shelter which happens to be the first and only ‘NO-KILL’ shelter in Ventura County, CA.
We would like to take this opportunity to make a request to all lovely souls out there to help casting a vote for this animal shelter to win a grant so that they are able to find a new home for those animals in need.

It’s All About Staying Focus…
Mr. Kerby is back to stay with us for 1 week because apparently his owner is already well enough to take a short vacation with her daughter and so Kerby will have his vacation with us for 1 entire week…ヽ(´▽`)/ YAY ヽ(´▽`)/
Courage means to keep working a relationship,
to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems,
and to stay focused during stressful periods.

Goodbye Mr. Kerby, Hello Mr. Tree(s)!!
As some of you lovely souls have already knew, Mr. Kerby has finally gone back to his owner after staying with us for the past six months.
Already missing him but what matters most is that he is now happily sleeping in his own bed and playing with all his ten toys at home.
No more Kerby’s photos…so what will I be posting today?
Have you lovely souls already guessed it?
Aww…so lovely and clever too!!
Two weeks ago, I’ve gotten a chance to accompany Lovable Mom to her usual flower shopping since her friend, who usually drives her to the flower wholesale center had something on during that day.
It was my first visit there and there were a lot of walking to do especially during the return trip if you aren’t driving and we had to walk for about 20 minutes while carrying two bunches of flowers (if you are familiar with flower arranging, you ought to know that flowers aren’t really as light as we think they are) before reaching the bus stop.
When we finally reached the bus stop, while I was busy catching my breath, something caught my attention.
Hello Mr. Tree(s)!!
I spotted some beautiful trees and with my left hand holding two bunches of flowers (ignoring the are-you-trying-to-damage-my-flowers glare from Lovable Mom), I quickly took the following photos with my trying-to-stay-steady right hand and mobile phone so that I can share these beauties with you lovely souls out there:
Never cut a tree down in the wintertime.
Never make a negative decision in the low time.
Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods.
Wait.
Be patient.
The storm will pass.
The spring will come.
Robert H. Schuller
A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds.
A good deed is never lost;
He who sows courtesy reaps friendship,
And he who plants kindness gathers love.
Saint Basil
I do hope all you lovely souls are enjoying our three Mr. Tree as much as I did and still do.
Have a wonderful day ahead, always!
Till then,
Cheers & TTFN~ 😀
Kerby’s Prayer Before Dinner…
Kerby has been very picky with his food and Lovable Mom is having a hard time planning his meals, especially dinner.
KERBY’S P.O.V OF HIS FOOD
Good Food = Whatever we’re having on our dining table…
Healthy Food = Whatever he is having inside his bowl…
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
~ Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
To all lovely souls out there reading this post…
Bon Appétit
Till then,
Cheers & TTFN~

They Do Understand…
Yesterday, Kerby’s owners brought him to the pet groomer.
He returned after a few hours with all his nails trimmed so now he can jump down from the sofa without the fear of loosing his grip during the landing
…YAYヽ(´▽`)/ YAY…
Unfortunately, we think the length of his fur were being trimmed way way too short!!!
WHY??….щ(゚Д゚щ)…WHY??
So short that he was practically shivering at times and his tummy would turn cold whenever he lies down with it facing the floor.
He didn’t have this problem in the past…his tummy is always warm and cuddly…
…. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻….
Noticed him trembling in his sleep again last night, something that hasn’t happen for quite some time already.
….( ゚Д゚)….
He is definitely feeling cold.
That’s our conclusion.
The problem is…
He doesn’t like sleeping on fabrics.
(⇀‸↼‶)…(⇀‸↼‶)…(⇀‸↼‶)…(⇀‸↼‶)
WE DECIDED TO TRY IT ANYWAY.
ლ(`ー´ლ)…HOOSH…ლ(`ー´ლ)
We’ve prepared a blanket for him but it has become his new biting toy instead of being a sleeping mat.
….( ゚Д゚)….
We placed it near his sleeping area last night but he decided to sleep on the floor instead.
….( ゚Д゚)….
Today, we keep nagging him to try sleeping on the blanket instead of the floor
He started giving us his infamous…Grrrrr…..
….( ゚Д゚)….
Later in the evening, he decided to place his head on the blanket but with his body still on the floor.
….( ゚Д゚)….
Tonight, we’ve decided to place the blanket on his favourite sleeping spot and when I went to check him out before taking a quick bath, he was sleeping beside the blanket instead.
….( ゚Д゚)….
I decided to try my luck with him again and said,
“Kerby, later in the night if you are really feeling cold, please…please sleep on this blanket, okie??”
He just stared at me as I gave him a gentle pat on his almost bald head.
After my quick shower, I went to check him out again and this is what I saw
ヽ(´ー`)ノ THOUGH THEY CAN’T TALK, THEY DO UNDERSTAND!! ヽ(´ー`)ノ
…YAYヽ(´▽`)/ YAY…

Despite getting all those cold shoulders from Kerby, they won’t stop me from taking more photos of him…LOL…
YES! I WON’T GIVE UP!

Have a great day ahead, always!
