The hands of my sweet husband, John, holding Gidget, as he relaxes after a hard days work, is what I call one of my simple pleasures.

My heart flutters with adoration and love for two beings that enrich my life beyond words.

Gidget and me-stopped for a spot of tea-at our friend Cassy’s gallery (did you read that in a kind of sing-song rhyming way?)

It is always inspiring and fun when Lil’ G and I stop by our friend Cassy’s art studio, like we did this week. I wish I could take Gidget everywhere I go. She gets to go quite a few places, but if I had my way, it would be many more.

But that brings me to the subject of my blog post today. Maybe you are wondering, “What is a toots mcgee?” Well, it is not a what, but a who.

You see, Miss G has earned this title. I’m not sure if she wears it proudly, or is a bit bashful about it, or perhaps because she is, well, a dog, she really doesn’t care.

But can this little one toot!  Hence the nickname, “Toots McGee.” At least once a day we hear a little rumbling noise come from her back end. Most usual after she eats. She is not, a-hem,  a well mannered little lady who daintily eats her food, but rather devours it in about three seconds flat.

Needless to say, this starts the rumbles that begins to form in her little tummy that eventually produce the funny little sounds that have rightfully earned her the name Toots McGee.

In our travels about on errands and in the company of others, this can cause the question to arise. “Was it her or was it me?”

Me, being human, this would cause great embarrassment, so it is with relief I can say, “Oh no, that was not me!  It was Toots McGee!”

Hope you enjoyed my little sense of humor today… it was a trying day with my website down yesterday, so laughter is always the best medicine to release the stress.  And a big thank you to everyone who alerted me to the fact my site was down, whether via email or through my Facebook page. Though I was frustrated, it warmed my heart to see how many of you enjoy my posts.  Always a positive to things, isn’t there?

My meditation begins and ends each day like this.

Looking into the face and eyes of what is pure bliss.

Pure joy.

Pure love.

These moments transport me away from the negative in the world.

Moments that bring me into the center of my heart.

Here I swim in an ocean of oneness with one of spirits greatest creations.

Little love of mine, oh, the happiness that you bring, which makes my heart swell to ten times its size.

My morning meditation with you resting sweetly in my arms to center my soul as I get ready to move through my day.

Evening meditation with you lying contently next to me preparing me for dreams to carry my soul through the night.

No sweeter or meaningful meditation to me than when connecting with pure bliss called dog.
