~~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca a.k.a. Seneca The Younger, Roman philosopher, 4 - 65 Century AD
It has been hard to be a happy dog these past few days as severe storms and tornadoes have been devastating so many lives in and around where I live – Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and a few other Midwestern states. I know that my Pack and I have been very blessed to have been spared the worst of these storms, and for that we are very grateful. But such tragedies over the past few days have put a sadness in the air and our hearts cry for those who have lost loved ones and/or their livelihoods in these powerful storms. We send our prayers to all those affected by the storms.
~~Marcus Porcius Cato, Roman Statesman, 234 – 149 BC
My thoughts exactly! What tummy grumbles, tummy gets. Speaking of tummies, or bellies, whichever you prefer, I am in a belly contest! My adorable kitty cat friend from Portugal, Kika, is holding a cat and dog best belly contest. Because of the overwhelming number of belly entries submitted, Kika has put the contest on one of her other blogs. You can view and vote for the bellies here: cat bellies and dog bellies. You are allowed two votes total: one for a cat, and one for a dog. On the dog page I am lucky number 13, so please vote for my belly! However, my sweet Italian friend Chicco [Ciao, Chicco!] is also in the contest, and is number 2. If you prefer Chicco's tummy, then please vote for Chicco. Or, just vote for whichever tummy you find to be the cutest. Voting is open from 26 May – 31 May. May the best belly win! I just hope it is mine. No pressure. Really. No pressure at all. But remember, the more votes, the happier my belly, and a happy belly makes for a happy Suka. I’m just sayin’…

I agree, sad times with those storms. Lots of prayers going out. Good luck in the belly contest, I'll have to check it out!
We voted for you, Suka! The best belly by far!!!
We are so glad you are OK. Our hearts and thoughts go out to all who have been affected by those awful storms. We pray everyone and their furpals will remain safe. Be well, our friend! And good luck in the contest!
PS - you looked so awesome for the Cinco de Mayo festivities, we can't wait to see what you and your Hu-Mom come up with for the "Patriotic Pets" contest!!! Wooos to you!
Tender Sadness is one of momma's favorite sculptures...and that is the state we seem to have hovering over us the past few weeks...friends in bad weather, sick friends, so much pain. We are grateful that you and K and your family have been spared and we send you protection and positive energy every single day. We share the concern and worry over the victims of Nature's fury and help as best we can...and it gives us hope to see so many others doing the same. We ask the Universe for calm...in the weather AND in the soul.
Of course your tummy is award winning! BTW the duck jerky truck arrived! Woohoo!
I am sending doggy prayers to Mother Earth.,,,,,,
"please stop the winds and storms"
Please stay safe...
I think your tummy photos should win.
love

The storms have really been crazy this year. We're in Virginia, and we've even had some really nasty ones here, which is out of the ordinary. I really feel for those that have been impacted in your area by tornadoes. I hope the worst of them are over, and people can start to rebuild their lives.
My dear pal,
Yes it is not easy to see and hear of those who have been affected by the natural disaster. Then lets remember that behind every dark cloud there is a silver lining. With all this hardship or suffering, we must also know that we have all that is within us to overcome. Sending all my prayers of hope and strength to all of them.
p/s: i'm no physic, lets just say that furry frens of the same "tails" do share kindred spirit, do you agree? ;0)
Love ya,
Jon Terry
Happy Memorial Day woofs & hugs!

Hi Suka! Just stopping by to say hello. HELLOOOOO! Hope you're having a great start to your week!
Woofs & hugs,
~Bailey
