And your number one reason about your dog is the main reason why I want one too. The idea that someone is so excited to see me every time I come in makes me happy.Bayjbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09544971638369054902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803328.post-59770321347737382592009-12-20T11:03:21.306-05:002009-12-20T11:03:21.306-05:00I love all of your cheerful and inspiring posts!Marishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06266549894044350833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803328.post-39746387035242165202009-12-19T22:35:06.212-05:002009-12-19T22:35:06.212-05:00I love the one about finding small gifts you know a friend would love.

Every single day I come home to my little cat who&#39;ll do a little jump for me when I pet her, follow me to the front door so I can check the mailbox and then hop up on my shoulder while I open the front door so we can do it together. <br /><br />Pets are the best :)<br /><br />But maybe warm chocolate chip cookies would be a close second...fuchsiaghttp://fuchsiag.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803328.post-23512198136490602192009-12-18T14:29:35.620-05:002009-12-18T14:29:35.620-05:00Fresh chocolate chip cookies are amazing...<br /><br /><br />This was an excellent, excellent post.

One of the happy items I&#39;m working on is re-doing my craft room.

Webster certainly isn&#39;t as excited as a dog, but every time I come home he is at the door waiting for me, rubbing up against the wall and purring. I love it!<br /><br />And FYI: Your posts are so beautifully written that they take my breath away ALL the time!Amber (Girl with the red hair)http://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.com
