Thank you Sally for hosting blue Monday so faithfully. I always wonder if I can possibly find another blue thing to post but so far so good. I enjoy this event so much. Please visit Sally's blog for lots more blue at, Smiling Sally.
CHERI' IS A COUCH POTATO
Yep, that's right. Our poodle owns the back of our couch. She loves to lounge on the blanket we keep there. In fact she gets a bit upset if we dare to cover up with the blanket when we take a nap. She actually jumps on me and lays on the blanket when it is covering me. Of course, we don't care because she is the love of our life. The truth is she owns us too. HA!
The following photos were taken without a flash. I was trying to avoid red eye. They did not turn out great but they sure are cute.
Do you see that very glamerous dog collar? It is a gift from my sweet friend Julie at, This is How I See the World. Thank you so much Julie. Cheri' is in grand style.
See what I mean?
Oh yeah, this couch is mine!
Did you say "get down?"
No Way Mom!!! (this photo was taken at night)
Cheri with my cousin Bob and my hubs, Bill
Cheri' with my cousin Bob. "Don't you know you might fall off this couch? Let's talk about it!"
"Do you know why dogs have so many friends? They wag their tails instead of their tongue."

My sister Jane Anne sent this quote to me today
Thanks sis! Love it!
Happy Blue Monday
Love,
JEANNE
We used to say that our dog allows us to live in the house with him because we kept it clean!
Our little guy slept on the chaise lounge, with the handmade afghan my mother made (for me)!
Happy Blue Monday, Jeanne!

She's a cutie! I think it's very courteous of her to lay on the back of the couch, that way there's room for everyone:@)

Great quote. I love it, and it is so true.
Love you, too. I'm off to work.

The sweet, innocent pursuits of our dear wee fuzzies! Your babygirl just "fell on velvet" as they used to say, when you chose each other.
Our boy is grown quite shaggy now, from his little neat cut of the Summer, but is just the best little fellow; his habits have become like clockwork, though the time change threw him off---we now do "dinners" at four o'clock!
We know our souls have good facets, for our dogs love us.
love and,
rachel

Most everyone with a pet treats them as a child. The pets do not know what being an animal is. Your little pup is so cute, but spoiled.

This is just priceless! Our little Chloe has adopted my NAP Cuddle Blanket from Brookstone as her very own. Whoever has "the cuddly" has to take the dog too because it's her place! Aren't they such funny, loveable little creatures!
Have a great day!

Ahhhhhh.....that's the cutest Couch Potato I've ever seen!! Love how she stretches out on the back of it. Maybe she needs a little Poodle Snuggie and you could have your blanket back!!
Love that photo of Bill, Bob and Cheri'....so cute!!
