Monday Musings ~ July 27, 2026

Happy Monday, troops. Hope you had a lovely weekend. Hard to believe we’ve reached the last week in July. For us we’re just hanging on and ticking off the days until autumn arrives…which for those keeping track of these kinds of monumental happenings, is scheduled to land in 57 days. I know there are a lot of you groaning that summer will be leaving to soon but for some of us, it can’t happen soon enough. Between smoke and evacuations from wildfires to temperatures in the stratosphere, we’re looking forward to a change. But don’t start to worry yet, that’s not happening today and you still have time to ‘enjoy’ what’s left of the season. So let’s start this week with a smile, shall we?

We hope your coffee takes pity on you and you enjoy a miracle or two with lots of smiles this week. Happy Monday.

Live, love, bark! 🐾

    1. Glad you enjoyed today’s smile. Yes, SD has lovely weather most of the year…plus there’s an ocean! Enjoy your time there. Hopefully by the time you go home, it’ll be nicer. 🤞🏼 Happy Monday.

  1. What a great picture! My hair looks like that in the morning but Teddy is always neat and presentable (that’s not fair right?!). Anyway, hope these last weeks of Summer bring all of us less smoke, more rain (at least here – we’re desperate) and maybe some PEACE AND CALM otherwise?????

    Big Hugs, Pam and Teddy

    1. The longer my hair gets, the more plastered down it looks when I wake up. I just think it looks like I was sleeping cockeyed. LOL Yes, we agree…less smoke, more rain and lower temps for the rest of summer! Happy Monday.

  2. Spring and fall are our favorite seasons, so we’re ready for fall too. It’s hot here. Just hot.

    Some morning coffee just doesn’t do it.

    I linked this post to Awww Mondays, as always.

    Have a fabulous day and week. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to handsome Wilson. ♥

    1. Autumn is definitely our most favorite season. I personally can’t wait until sweater weather arrives. This has been such a miserable summer and the countdown can’t arrive soon enough. We hope it’s a terrific Monday and an even better week for you and the fur kiddos. Happy Monday with many thanks for always adding us to your hop. Hugs and tail wiggles.

  3. Hang in there M! Hot out here in NorCal but I’m a heat lover. The girls are getting older and now sometimes choose the air conditioned house over being out with dad. Have a “cool” as possible week.

    1. Thanks, Mike. You can ‘enjoy’ our share of the heat. We’ll be inside with the girls. Happy Monday.

  4. Haha! Love the meme! Too bad it doesn’t do miracles, eh! 😃 I have to get some bloodwork today so may just treat myself to a sweet latte 😋Though this is supposed to be a diet week after a week at the beach! 🤣🤣 But I didn’t have any latte’s at the beach. Just delicious ice cream!

    1. If you ate standing up, I’m told that calories fall out and don’t stick to your body, so you may be golden with ordering a sweet latte. 😂 Have a good Monday.

        1. Way to strategically plan for calories! 😂 Enjoy a nice iced latte for me.

    1. Amen, Terry! I know the feeling. Yes, bring on the coffee. Happy Monday.

    1. Glad you enjoyed today’s smile. We’re with you on summer. It can’t go away fast enough for us. Happy Monday.

    1. You’re most welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful week. Happy Monday.

    1. We’ve got our paws crossed your coffee delivers. Have a terrific Monday, Dan!

  5. That’s how Sasha looked this morning. (You have to be a long haired cat to get the disheveled look!) We are excited about a cooler part of summer and easing into a LONG comfortable fall.

  6. Hahaha! Love it and there are mornings…
    I do love fall but am in no rush right now as it comes with many, MANY cruise ships in Montreal which means busy-busy-busy for me!
    Have a fantabulous Monday Monika and Wilson!

    1. Glad you enjoyed today’s smile. As my hair gets a bit longer, it stands up less and less. Gotta love that plastered down look. Don’t work too hard this week. Hugs.

      1. I did! My hair has reached the wild woman look – unless I tied it back with a clip 😉
        Hugs to you and I won’t!

    1. That makes us very happy. Glad you enjoyed today’s giggle. When I saw it, my first reaction was…yup…I’m all to familiar with ‘that’ look. LOL Have a wonderful Monday and an even better week.

  7. thanks for the chuckle. and we are counting down the days in anticipation of cooler weather here as well.

    1. Glad you enjoyed it. As usual we were out on the trail early this morning and while the day is somewhat of an overcast morning, I was knocked down with the near 80F degrees at 5:30! What the dawg?? We hope you have a great Monday.

  8. I absolutely loved the meme! My husband laughed at it as well. He said, “That’s good!” Thanks for sharing, Wilson.

    1. So glad you enjoyed today’s smile. I’m all-too familiar with ‘that’ look. Have a terrific Monday, Julia!
