Monday Musings ~ July 29, 2024

Happy last Monday of Hades, er I mean July. Maybe it’s a good idea the Olympics have started-we can stay inside to watch the festivities and competition. We missed the controversial opening ceremonies. Guess I was in training like Snoopy. Although this is an event where I would definitely excel and would no doubt win gold.

Monday smile

To all you triathletes, we wish you a pawsome week and hope you enjoy watching the summer games in Paris. Happy Monday.

Live, love, bark! 🐾

  1. That is a cute cartoon, Snoopy is such a fun pup!
    I missed most of the opening of the Olympics as I was working over the weekend. I did see a bit of the gymnastics on Sunday….haven’t watched any here at home, though.
    It’s been sticky and way too hot here, too, even after a rain it doesn’t cool down.

    1. Glad you enjoyed the cartoon. I gotta admit, I love Snoopy and his sweet outlook on life. This is going to be the week from hell temperature wise. Yesterday’s humidity was 9%. Hot, dry and smoky (two fires popped up in the past few days near Denver so we’re getting smoke from them as well as northern California and Oregon. This summer can’t end soon enough for us. Don’t work too hard and stay as cool as you can. Hugs and tail wags.

  2. We like watching some of the olympics, but not all the sports. The opening and closing ceremonies we pass on as we like to get to the good stuff, the competition!

    1. With break dancing entering as a sport this time, it’s as though everyone wants to be part of the action. While I don’t doubt there’s lots of skills and talent required, I think it’s getting a bit ridiculous. I missed the opening as well and probably will miss the closing ceremony too.

  3. We’re happy with the temperatures now, it feels like Summer…finally🌞We like to watch Snoopy, she’s our champ😸Double Pawkisses for a Happy Sunday🐾😽💞

    1. It you’re enjoying the hot temps of summer, I’ll happily send you some of ours. Triple digits here. Happy Monday.

    1. Amen, kids. We do the countdown every morning…56, 55. 54…it can’t come soon enough for us. Happy Monday.

  4. Watched the synchronized swimming which was cool. Fun to see the US team win the silver. I think its cool that the two women have been best friends since they were 8 years old and now won an Olympic medal. Happy Monday to you! Yes, stay inside and cool! Supposed to be 96 here today!

    1. It’s definitely a feel good story-one of many. We’ll be closer to 100ºF today and started the day at 4:30 am with…you guessed it, an air quality alert. Ugh. Denver and several other Front Range municipalities are in the doghouse with the EPA. 😭 Yikes! Stay as cool as you can.

      1. Yes, the stories is something I love about the Olympics.
        I did also LOVE seeing Celine Dion sing. That was magical and goosebumps! I have liked her for so long, and what a joy to see her sing again after being through so much!!

        Ugh on air quality! Stay safe!

  5. I’m with you on this. It’s far less work and far more delicious.

    I linked this post to Awww Mondays.

    Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to the pups and a hug to you. ♥

    1. Thanks for including us on the link. The Ranch Hands all are Olympians when it comes to eating! 😁 Just look at our waistlines. LOL

    1. Thanks, John. Clearly my waistline proves I’m with Snoopy. And then some. LOL Happy Monday.

        1. We blame the cat. Course we don’t have a cat, but that doesn’t stop us. LOL

    1. With those kinds of encouragement, we’ll be all over it! Thanks, Michael. Have yourself a jim-dandy week!

  6. That triathlon sounds about as athletic as i get!
    Hope the temperatures drop soon!

    1. Thanks; we’re done with anything outside for the rest of the day other than the odd potty break. Counting the days until autumn. 56…55…54…we’re heading in the right direction. 🥵

  7. People like to complain and find fault where there is none!!
    Have you since seen Céline Dion’s performance? I missed it, too, and finally saw it. Amazing.

      1. I finally saw the whole thing (I shared it on FB if’n you’re interested!) I tried to add the link here but it’s frozen so…

        1. Thanks for the share. I’ve noticed FB seemed to have changed things up lately (oh joy) and is a bit on the cranky side. 🙄

          1. Don’t get me started!!
            And you’re welcome. 😊
            Knowing what she has been going through and seeing her belt it out like that is so amazing
