Monday Meme ~ June 24, 2019

~ Tails Around the Ranch

Reading is fun, even the Knuckleheads will stop and check out a neighbor’s Lending Library that has been cleverly designed into a Tardis Box. The big question is what will these guys learn? Happy Monday with best wishes for a brilliant week.

Reading

Live, love, bark! 🐾

  1. What a great idea of having a library on the street. We love reading a good book on our travels. We wonder what your favorite books would be? Maybe about treat making. LOL. Thanks for the share. Have a great day.

      It’s hard to pick something up since I usually have the dogs with me. Then again a branch library is just a few blocks away. I’m happy to contribute to them though so someone else can benefit from my book buying addiction.

    Ellie gets distracted so easily, she wouldn’t make it past page 1. “OH! Sparkle ball! What’s that outside? What’s Momma doing?” Etc, etc. I imagine she and the Ninja share some traits beyond their shared fur color 🙂

  7. Rambo – My name is Rambo, and I am a South African Pomeranian who lives in Margate, Kwazulu-Natal. I live with my Mom Sonel, Dad, 2 brothers, my adopted brother Russel, the Jack Russel and Tweety, the African Grey. Some would say I am spoiled, but I say it's lots and lots of love. Mom Sonel says I deserve all the love in the word and calls me her Little Lion Prince. I love taking strolls on the beach and watching the sunrise with mom, and sometimes we meets new and strange friends. Mom would then take photos of them and we would learn more about them. Come and join me in my adventures if you are not scared, and remember to be kind, respectful and friendly. Mom Sonel and I love folks like that. 😊
    Rambo says:

    What a lovely photo of the Knuckleheads and the Tardis library box. We just love it! Mom says she would love to travel with Dr Who and I am sure I would love that too! Can you imagine all those adventures? Must be just like the adventures we go on when Mom reads me stories. 😀

  16. Sand Spring Chesapeakes – Cambria, WI – My husband and I have six "furry" children Gambler, Glory, Guilty, Slammer, Gertie and one cat Bones and two furangel's Norman and Nellie. We breed Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. We are both avid hunters. We also enjoy competing with our dogs in hunt tests and field trials. That is where you can find us during the trial months which are April-September. When were not at a trial we are busy training our dogs. We go snow goose hunting in Canada each year and do all the hunting that Wisconsin offers.

  18. John W. Howell – South Texas Gulf Coast – I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.
