World Animal Day

World Animal Day

Isn't it animal day all day?

It's World Animal Day. A day that still is a very popular thing among the media, which isn't bad because who doesn't want to see all those cute animal pictures on the internet? I bet for most animal keepers it's animal's day for their pets everyday!

So it is for our dogs as well. I don't think our Labrador nor our old Poodle/Maltese (during times he's awake) will notice any difference today. They are being spoiled with love everyday.

I had already dropped two puppy faces in the picture above, let‘s show a little more of our dogs! The happy faces* we see when coming home now + the faces (in grey) we still see in our memories everyday! 

The picture above is the cover of a photo-book I made a while ago. In the book I had collected almost all photo's I've had of our dogs + I scanned in the photo's of the two dogs I grew up with, who aren't with us anymore. 

I think sometimes we can learn from our pets. It‘s amazing how they are appreciating the small things. A balloon, a ball or even a cloth.. I‘m not saying we should walk around with a cloth all day, but sometimes we should just enjoy the little things in life a bit more.

A thing about animals, they do not ever show us someone they are not. They don‘t pretend to be different so that they can fit it. They are always themselves, no matter how crazy that is. We have a labrador who‘s the sweetest thing but also a big coward haha. He won‘t do what the dog below does, almost touching a cow! 

A few days ago I dreamt that Bonnie was still alive. She would have been 30 by now. There are miracles but not like that haha. In a way the dream is true because in our hearts they remain to stay forever, in there they are still alive. And I also do believe that they will never leave us anyway. In my Loki story I named my lead female character after this sweet guardian Angel of mine. I‘m publishing this story on Wattpad and today I've added a new chapter called: 'The Healing Pool'.

Here‘s a small part of the chapter:

Avengers + Animals

The person I got this blog dedicated to (You know that‘s Tom Hiddleston) also has a huge heart for animals which he often shows us. I think for Bobby, it‘s Animal Day all year long too! Here are some photo's (no pap pics) of Tom (+ three other Avengers!) with animals:

Let‘s not forget about out favorite animal Avenger! Rocket the Raccoon! (No Thor, it‘s not a rabbit. No Loki, it‘s not a skunk. No Tony, it‘s not a squirrel (refs to a story I‘m writing..) )

& Goose!

‘We should let Rocket run pass him over and over, so Loki starts to feel dizzy and starts counting. Isn‘t that how they get little kids to sleep? By counting rabbits?’ Thor was thinking out loud. 

‘A: Where are you seeing a little kid in Loki?, and B: It‘s counting sheep, not rabbits!’ Tony answered. 

‘Rabbits, sheep.. All the same to me,’ Thor shrug.

Stephen shook his head. ‘I‘m glad the raccoon hasn‘t heard any of this.’

Loki: ‘That alien cat just ate my Tesseract! Why weren‘t you guys paying attention?’ he shouted.

Now all eyes were pointed at the cat. ‘He‘s bluffing to distract us. Probably just an illusion,’ Thor responded but Stephen already had walked towards the cat. Then he picket the meowing cat off the ground, which proved Thor‘s theory wrong. 

‘Its belly is indeed glowing,’ he stated. 

Now Thor saw it too and checked the cat‘s nameplate. ‘Goose. You sweet kitty kitty cat!’ When Thor petted him, the cat started to purr. ‘Tony, did you ever own a cat?’, he asked.

‘No, not that I know of. He could just have brought it here?’ he said while hinting towards Loki.

‘Look at him. He has never seen it before. His face clearly gives that away!’ Thor mentioned. 

Tony dropped a sarcastic little laugh. ‘The guy who, just an hour ago, released an army of unearthly terrifying monsters, now is afraid of a cat? Now, that blows me off my chair!’

‘Now what, wait until he poops it out?’ Thor wondered, frowning. ‘The stone than I mean, the Tesseract- well perhaps is a bit-‘ Thor faced trouble in finishing the sentence, as his mind made the mistake of picturing the event already.

‘Hairball,’ Stephen quickly said.
