Beautiful Things In My Garden On A Rainy Day...

Thanks to all of you who came with kind words of encouragement and advice. I´m really finding the biggest challenge is the head work I have to do. I truly believe the keys to success at weight loss and beating any bad habit lie within your head. A normal human knows right from wrong, good from bad but we don´t always make the right choices. Why is that ya think? Why do we purposely choose wrong or bad when we know we shouldn´t? Can anyone answer that?

While you´re contemplating the question above I´m going to share some photos from my garden with you. I hope you´ll like them.....
















My flowers aren´t the only beautiful things in my garden.....there is this guy.....
Jackson will be moving to the middle of Norway, to a place a little north of Trondheim. He will be living with people who had his grandfather once upon a time. They are going to have him stay for a month and if all goes well he will stay forever. It´s hard to think about saying goodbye...but it´s the best for Jackson. He isn´t suffering living here, but his life could be so much better in a home where he doesn´t have to compete with another male. Jackson thinks he´s much more suited for alpha male position then his buddy Bently. Problem is Bently doesn´t necessarily agree with that. For the most part they are still buddies but there is a tension in the air which isn´t good for either of them. So I am going to hope with all my heart that Jackson will enjoy his life in Trønderlag. I am sure I will see a lot of him as the family he will be going too love to show dogs and have a lot of get togethers with other leo people and they post lots of photos after their get togethers on facebook. Plus I am sure if sister Carma comes this way for a show that Jackson and his new family might come along also....so there will be chances for more kisses and hugs in the future also...so how can I be sad?

I´ll still have 3 more of these running around.....
And one of these....
And a couple of these....
I am sure they will keep me busy and in constant supply of wet kisses and lots of snuggles...
Raise your hands if you think a wet kiss and snuggle from this little guy would be nice....

Yeah.....I agree ;-)))

Until next time my friends....

I love your dogs! They are all so beautiful. I am sure it is hard to let Jackson go, but hopefully he will love his new home. :)

Beautiful photos of your gardens . . . Great words, quotes. Handsome and cuddly pups . . . Life seems pretty sweet! Wonder why so many of us struggle with the head/food thing.

Time for popcorn . . .

I envy your garden...we've been apartment-dwellers for the last three years, and I really miss growing things. Little planters on the porch are better than nothing, still...

Ah - such wonderful shots. Love the rainy flowers - and the dogs.

I know it will be hard to say goodbye to Jackson, but he'll be far less stressed without all that competition.

Oscar came to us when he was 4.5 years old, due to the stress of living in a flock with females on heat all the time.

I know you are going to miss Jackson, but I also know you have worked to find the right home for him! Big hugs!
