Puppies You Can’t Resist

PUPPIES

Puppies puppies everywhere,

puppies puppies on the stairs.

Running running through the house,

running running after a mouse.

Laying laying in my bead,

laying laying down his head.

Pooping pooping on the floor,

pooping pooping by the door.

Barking barking at a cat,

barking barking ready to attack.

Chewing chewing up the rug,

chewing chewing the wall plug.

Puppies puppies oh so fine,

puppies puppies they’re all MINE!

On Saturday my family got a puppy. He is a white lab of 11 weeks. He literally looks like the puppy from Nintendogs. We finally decided on the name Emmet, and he’s already getting used to it. on Sunday, my friend and I took him to the beach with us. It took us about 45 minutes to walk 100 feet to get a lemonade because everyone wanted to stop us and pet the pup. Not only did that slow us down, but Emmet insisted on laying down next to anyone who pet him, and he wouldn’t budge, so we had to drag him away with the leash looking like puppy torturers. Yesterday morning he pooped in the house about 4 times, luckily I as sleeping while he did his damage, so my brothers had to clean it up. But despite all his messes, he is so cute and I love him, and its soooo worth it.

Weary Wednesday

Half way through the week

OK you’re almost through it.

Motivation’s getting weak

but you’ll find a way to boost it.

Tired eyes and dragging feet

you stumble through your day.

Can’t wait to go home, go to sleep,

and rest your fatigue away.

But you can’t do that yet,

so you try to live in the moment.

Quit daydreaming about that, get

your head out of the clouds and try to be patient.

Just think how good it’ll feel

when you finally get to hit the hay.

You’ll wake up the next morning

and feel refreshed for the whole new day.

I found my self tired this morning and decided to create some inspiration for myself and others feeling the same exhaustion that I was.  Tell us what helps you make it through the day in the comments section below.
