Not My Dog but a Dear Friends

I wanted you to meet Bentley. My old neighbors lived across the street from us and our kids played together. The two girls played softball together. The boys had a difference in age but they were boys and did boy things together. The youngest played with the two girls and my son. The oldest daughter of the neighbors played with the girls sometimes but then she was "older" and didn't "play" with them much. The kids did things like the "mud ballet" in the yard. Water and dirt= mud and they rolled and danced and had a grand time! We all had dogs. Now the one girl, Andrea, had a dog, Leroy, that followed her everywhere. If she went to the grocery store up the hill, he went too. Sat outside and waited for her. Andrea alway had a way with the dogs. We had many dogs. We loved them all. Some we gave away, some died of a dog disease or age and a few got out in the street and got killed by the cars. Yes, we had a fenced in back yard but sometimes that isn't even enough. You just never know. Things change through the years. Those children are in their 40's and 50's now. Andrea has dogs but her latest one is a treasure. His name is Bentley and he is a special sweet boy! Bentley is a Golden Doodle and as of September, 2021, became certified as a Therapy Dog! He gets sad when Andrea goes to work and she is hoping someday that he can come too! He loves children! I wish I knew a little more about Bentley. I only know about him because I am a friend of Andrea. I haven't met him but I am the type of dog person, that would probably want to take him home with me! I love my dogs! Yes, I love cats too but my heart is mostly with the dogs. I am going to share pictures of Bentley with you. If you have need of a therapy dog, and live in the Central Missouri area, contact me on the Facebook Page of "Yard Gardens Birds and Critters" https://www.facebook.com/groups/2364906177122714. I can let Andrea know. PM me.

On Losing A Family Member By Mary J Williams © She may have 4 paws And a tail that wiggles My friendly dog That made me giggle She loved to chase squirrels Until they were out of sight Just showing them Catching them she might I lost this dear friend On February 18, 2024 My little Rosebud Knocked at Heavens door I am going to miss her She was with us for twelve years Every time I think of her My eyes fill up with tears Her other companion Of the four-legged kind Lacy, her buddy Still has her in her mind She won’t come in the room She spent most of her days Her buddy isn’t with her So, she just stays away It’s not been very long About three days is all I’m sure it will be better The good times we will recall So, Rosebud, we loved you With all of our hearts Just remember Rosebud We actually will never part Will think of you often And when it’s my time to go I will meet up with you again  The Good Lord will make it so                              We used my dad's birthday as a

I'm Worn Out!

It’s Nice Outside By Mary J Williams © I thought about the birds Stepped outside the door The sun was shining brightly Which I just adore! I knew I had washing So went down the stairs Transferred wash to the dryer I know you don’t care! I looked at the floor I need to sweep just a bit Went to get the broom My brain did a flip Feed the birds first Seeing as they have none They need some food Get that chore done The can that holds All the sunflower seed The bungee cord is broken A squirrel probably did the deed The cord held the lid down This has happened before Racoons and squirrels chew it Not going to get the lid off no more I finally found one in the basement That would fit like the old one Now that the birds are fed I found another thing to get done Blew the leaves out of the garage Out from the corner of the door Blew them across the driveway Where I will let them store Pick them up in spring After the birds dig through them Finding all the bugs, worms, and insects Among the rottin

Winter-Yard Gardens Birds Critters and ME

Winter-the Yard, Birds and Critters and Me by Mary J Williams It's sort of winter but the weather is mild You can be outside Which makes me smile Weeds were pulled and I planted a seed one was a tree If it grows, it will surprise me I have had fun watching the birds an argument between bluebirds and the Robins I've heard Chickadees flying in and the Titmouse too I grab the camera Then off they flew I have a flowerbox sits on the rail It's on the two by six so falling will fail It also can sit on a two by four but mine just has the space The birds walk through the tunnel and disappear without a trace One time, while filling the feeders One of the tunnels had a bird A sparrow was in there  He ran so fast, he was blurred I love watching them  they think the tunnels fun Maybe they get cool If there's a lot of sun. I have to wash the deck  to try and keep it clean with bird seed and poop Dog pee I mean When it's cold outside Or very early morn The dogs do their business
