Today is National Read Across America Day and would have been the 113th birthday of the beloved Dr. Seuss where people are invited to host local events to celebrate and promote children’s reading and in honor of all who read, Sam wholeheartedly agrees and is ‘pawticipating.’ Click on this link to join the hop.
Sam here. Oh yessiree..you betcha, I totally support National Read Across America Day. See the Dr. Seuss quote I found. I told mom should use it in our post. And anyone who knows me, knows I definitely follow any direction I choose. Sorry ’bout your shoulder mom, but in my defense, it must be okay because Dr. Seuss told me to do it.
Mom here. Umm, Sam, I don’t think you’re suppose to ‘bogart’ an expression for your self-serving ways. And my shoulder will be just fine so long as I tie your leash around my waist. I have too much ‘ballast’ for you to go gallivanting here, there, everywhere, young man.
Sam: Heavy dog sigh. Oh well, it was worth a shot. We hope you are able to do some great reading today and everyday, and while you’re at it, you should add it to your list of fun things to do for a super weekend. Now why Mom is winking and smiling at some bottle of red liquid on the counter next to her Kindle?
Live, love, bark❣
I totally forgot about Dr.Seuss day. 🙁 And Sam, take it easy on the mom, shoulders are super important to us. Where else would she hang her purse. 🙂
LOL, as if a purse is of ‘impawtance’ to that knucklehead. I should tell him with a bad shoulder the treats won’t be flowing so freely. Maybe then he’d get it…nah…probably not.
Love Dr. Seuss. And I LOVE the term ‘bogart’.
Here’s to NRAA Day! I abide every single day.
And Sam is the master of its use. Rotten knucklehead!
LOL
The rotten knucklehead knew well,
All those stories Seuss would tell,
A noun, a verb, a whimsical blurb . .
It was these words to which she fell!
Had to give it my best Dr. Seuss shot, lol.
Quite the ‘best’ effort indeed. I have a rotator issue after compensating for surgery on the other one. It’s so painful and I dread having to go through that same rehab for this one. Sam takes advantage of it. Man is sucks getting old.
Ouch!
And yes, it sure does. When I wake up with no aches or pains, it’s ALREADY a good day, lol.
Well I am sending you my best wishes!
Peace
Thank you! After a while you get used to the pain but it’s getting to the point where PT isn’t working. I’ve resorted to wrapping Sam’s leash around my waist. I don’t think he considers the ‘ballast’ fair but it helps me out. 😈
Sam’s got to learn sooner or later. Getting older ain’t for sissies lol.
In 12 years, the ‘learning’ has been somewhat very sweet, but definitely limited. LOL
Bwahahaha!
BOL Fenris likes to drag Mom around on the leash too, especially when he sees a squirrel.
What a handsome Dog in a Hat you are Sam!

We sure hope your shoulder will be better soon. Mom says that is one reason she likes our Gentle Leader as they give her the feeling she has a little more control if we start to pull really hard.
Our little bipeds (the grands) all had read-ins at school today. Dr. Seuss is a wonderful day for those who love to read.
Happy Dr. Seuss Day.

Mom has a torn rotator. Any kind of movement sends her in whining…I mean pain. 😊 Today is a good day to read s great book!
OUCH!! Hope it heals quickly! You and Elsa be gentle with your Mom from now on.
It’s been chronic for months and getting worse. This aging thing ain’t no ball of easy, that’s for sure. But definitely better than the alternative. ☺️
Aging is definitely not for weaklings! Sending POTP from the girls and healing energy from me.
Many thanks. Most gratefully accepted (and far kinder and gentler than Ibuprofen.

OMD I LOVE THIS! Sam looks fantastic in that hat, I LOVE the entire graphic!!!! Dakota didn’t blog about it today but Cody did! Oh……….guess what I canceled? (postponed and rescheduled)……….OH YES I DID!! xoxo
Oh no!! Everything ok?
I used to read quite a bit … then I started a blog … then The Boy moved in …
I miss it. I truly do. I always struggled to stay awake though 🙂
ps – We see a tank in Sam’s future … you know, got to keep those younger sisters in line 🙂
Awk…bite your tongue!
A couple of blog posts is about all I have time to read right now…
“I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date!”
See ya later Sam, Elsa, and Monika!
We came back to change our log in to blogger. Years ago before we knew better we did something crazy on a word press blog it set us up

wHAT A GREAT QUOTE FROM THE WONDERFULLY TALENTED DR. SEUSS
HUGS MADI AND MOM
In honor of NRAA Day I think I’ll go over to the rack and read all the labels on those red liquid bottles and see which is first in line for this evening. Have a great weekend out a the ranch. The Golden K got another few inches of snow last night and it’s supposed to snow again all night and tomorrow. We might need to slip in some brown liquid to stay warm while we’re snowed in. 🙂
One of my friends sent a picture of one of her daughters all dressed up for the day – next year, we’ll have to come up with a Dr. Seuss costume for Choppy (and maybe Schooner, but I’m not holding my breath on that one).
Who made the assumption that I have brains in my head?
A wonderful day to read for its so windy outside that it may blow me away! Happy Reading and Dr.Seuss Day!! 🙂
Hmm..maybe that red liquid is Kool-aid? LOL!
Reading is our favorite form of entertainment.
It’s a close second to eating 🤣
Sam, was that a heavy sigh or a sigh from a heavy dog…I bet I know which one your Mom would say with all the hard yanking of her shoulder! Happy Dr. Seuss Day to all, and to all a good ni…wait, wrong holiday!
A bit of both. The law of inertia is heartless when it comes to shoulders.
My favorite Dr. Seuss book is the little known but classic I Had Trouble In Getting to Solla Sollew. It motivated me through the hard times. I kid you not. 🙂
Hmm, that is not one I am familiar with so now I need to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion. Happy weekend.😊
Now you have me curious too, for I hadn’t heard of that one either.
Thanks for reminding me that I have a book to read! My grandfather lent me The Constant Gardener a while ago and I’ve yet to read it. Looks like a long one, I better get started.
Oooh, oooh, and it’s a good one! Enjoy it.
I love a good Le Carré novel. ❤
hahaha shoulders are that bodyparts what can tell stories… the most start with ouch ;O)
In all capital letters. 😭
I’m totally on board with quote, S. All except for the “shoes” part. Ugh!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
I’m with you, Cupcake. Shoes are the pits but the directions we go…furbulous!
Hey Sam! What’s a drection? Woof! Ray.
We have a lousy editor.😕 Ugh.
Oh……….. okay ……….. gotta be 2 legs eh? 🙂 Woof! Ray.
Two and one long nose…ergo the typo.
Yup. Sadly we gotta work with what we can get. Humans are going to the dogs! (Get it? BOL! BOL! BOL!) Ray.!
