Every Thursday at the Finest  |
What a perfect name for a ShihTzu, "Panda Bear". :-)
I like the little "toy" breeds too, although I had a Labrador Retriever that was the smartest, most loyal, sweetest dog ever. The small breeds fit our lifestyle and small yard better.
We've had a pure black Pom, a sweet little Chihuahua and a Dachshund (named "Bear") over the years and now have a little Pomchi (half Pom, half Chihuahua) named "Chachi".
Do you have pictures you can post of your fur babies? Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest is a perfect day to do that! I love the names you've given your puppies.
Someone Recently Gave my Neighbor a Donkey, and I Snapped her Pic as she was Grazing in my Pasture with my Neighbor's Cows. She is a Cute Little Thing.

My mom had Chihuahua's; two short-hairs both named Buffy, and a long haired one named Muffin. Muffin was red like my mom's hair.
I gave my Dad a Shih tzu the same time I got Brandi, my first Shih Tzu. They were so sweet, we fell in love with the breed.
Your Pomchi sounds adorable! I've heard of mixing breeds and just recently heard about a Shih Tzu and a Brichon mix called a "bear". Seems they are on the internet somewhere. SOunds interesting, doesn't it?
I really like your thread and am on the ping list. Thanks for the many tributes to our fighting folks. They deserve every bit of support we can give them!
In the days of John Wesley, lay preachers with limited education would sometimes conduct the church services. One man used Luke 19:21 as his text: "Lord, I feared Thee, because Thou art an austere man" (KJV). Not knowing the word austere, he thought the text spoke of "an oyster man."
He explained how a diver must grope in dark, freezing water to retrieve oysters. In his attempt, he cuts his hands on the sharp edges of the shells. After he obtains an oyster, he rises to the surface, clutching it "in his torn and bleeding hands." The preacher added, "Christ descended from the glory of heaven into . . . sinful human society, in order to retrieve humans and bring them back up with Him to the glory of heaven. His torn and bleeding hands are a sign of the value He has placed on the object of His quest."
Afterward, 12 men received Christ. Later that night someone came to Wesley to complain about unschooled preachers who were too ignorant even to know the meaning of the texts they were preaching on. The Oxford-educated Wesley simply said, "Never mind. The Lord got a dozen oysters tonight."
Our best may not always measure up to the standards of others. But God takes our inadequacies and humble efforts and uses them for His glory.
The Master can use what you have to offer,
Though you may consider it small;
His work here on earth is done through His children,
So give Him your best, give your all. —Hess
I will be back later this afternoon.
Have a great day, HOB.
Thanks, Kitty, and your picture of the neighbor’s donkey is a cutie indeed. They’re funny creatures - we also have a donkey. (or maybe I should say that my HUSBAND has a donkey! LOL) I think li’l Zeke is cute and he’s actually really sweet, but donkeys by nature do not like dogs, and I hate when he’s in the corral whenever I take the dogs for a walk, because they have a habit of running in to get a drink in the donkey’s water barrel - something I can’t let them do if the donkey is there.
You do such beautiful graphics. I am jealous! :D

Adorable!!!
Love spring and I am about to have my first roses of the season! Yay!
Spring and Fall are tied for my favorite seasons. :) We have 58 (I counted them yesterday! LOL) honey locust trees, and they are loaded with the sweetest, most fragrant white blooms in the world. :)
I love locust trees. They truly do smell like heaven!
My roses must be running behind, then! LOL!
Have got to go run some errands. Back later.

Yes, I've heard them called "designer" breeds, or "hybrids". My little Pomchi is more "Chi" than "Pom". In fact, no one would even know he has any Pom in him...except for his face. He doesn't have the long fur, but neither does he have the really short Chihuahua coat either. It's a short, thick pelt. Anyway, we love him to death. He is going to be three April 15th, but the poor little thing has already had to undergo back surgery for a disc problem. He had the surgery the middle of January and has recovered really well. He is worth every penny we have spent on him.
Do you have photos you can post of your little ones? I would love to see them.
I am so happy you enjoy this thread. :-)
Good Evening Billie :)
Happy WFW! Your ping and images are wonderful!
Thanks, LUV. That particular one was fairly easy, I just added a vignette and the text. I found that image on a website that had hundreds of beautiful (and free)desktop “wallpaper”. :-)
