Please allow yourself the time to enjoy this video! This woman is laying on Golden Beach, VA and cuddling with a seal! Amazingly stunning and just another reason to declare that we are being in the presence of angels while being with the animals of God! Love, Kathie Jo
The first set of pictures are all about this determined squirrel that has tried to get into our bird feeder for two years! We call him Ole' Rusty Butt, because he eventually gets tired and will try to rest his laurels on the arms of the bird feeder. He comes back day after day and keeps trying and then he becomes so exhausted. We enjoy watching him. I wonder if he will return this Spring. The last few pictures are some of, Maggie and Tigger Too, at play! Tigger Too, likes to use Maggie as a sitting stool at times, and then again, they will fall asleep like this!

I need to include my second Chihuahua, as he is now, almost two years old and came to our home last June. He has been such a delight to have for, Maggie, as a companion and an exercise coach! Maggie was accepting her life of sleeping all day and laying around in what ever room I happened to be working in. I was concerned about her not getting enough exercise and didn't really want to take her for walks and have to wonder whether or not I should have to pick up her poo, as some of the neighbors do. I do not consider this an enjoyable hobby or chore, and would rather she stay within the boundaries of her backyard with the fence that we had put in. Tigger Too was Heaven-sent and just what I hoped an additional little dog would be. He adores Maggie! He fell in love with her the minute we laid him in her bed and she loved him just as much in return. They spend their days going out and in, round and round, upside down and rolling all over the place while playing tug of war on the floor with an old sock. Tigger Too is a much smaller Chihuahua, but, he thinks that he is in charge of her and when she is not willing to go out, Tigger Too, turns around and bites her legs until she is herded out the door! Both of them have been a great help to me in getting my fourteen year old daughter up each morning! My command is, "Maggie and Tigger, go get Laura out of bed!" They bound off their favorite spot on the hearth and run downstairs and bark at Laura's bedroom door until she unwillingly gets up as the dogs will annoy her until she does! Don't think they don't earn their weight in dog food! They are the sweetest companions and good alarm dogs, and great at annoying a fourteen year old that hates waking up in the morning! Love to the Universe out there, Kathie Jo p.s. I am going to add more pictures of the dogs as soon as I figure out how to do that!
My childhood friend, Cindy, has started a business that has given me much hope! I had long since feared that the art of, "hand-written" communication was lost forever! With the fast pace of the computer emails, and, (oh this pains me more than anything) the text messages that everyone is sending these days, I seem to go around, sighing, and wondering if we will ever appreciate the lost gift of the, "written word" and how it can impact a person's life, in fact, give hope and breath to their very soul. It is with this first blog that I say, "thanks to Cindy!", who gave me the encouragement to put all of my writings into a blog. Upon, being encouraged to do so, I came home today, opened up my email, to discover, that my cousin, Missy, has started her own blogging about her extremely, spiritual and patient, journey of adopting two girls from another country. "God Bless You, Missy!" In closing, I would like to say that, I have titled my blog, "God's Secret Angels", in tribute to all of God's creatures, great and small~~with a brief mention of my most beloved, Maggie, a small, Red, Chihuahua, that can read my thoughts and know exactly what I am feeling just by watching my face and body movements. More to come, as I have been encouraged to share the poems I write about God's precious, secret angels, the animals that add so much to our lives and expect so little in return. Much love to the universe out there, Kathie Jo
