Anyone have a boat near the Point A boat launch? Mom would love a lotus. Her birthday is in a few days and I'd love to get her a gift since she does so much for me.

My mom loves me! She let me sniff as long as I want and where I wanted while she stood there melting in the heat and humidity.

Me... I took a dip in the lake a few minutes before and was nice and cool!

Mom knows how important sniffaris are for mental health.

Too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.

I hate when I see dogs with these. Dogs belong inside where you can play with them and enjoy them. Tied up to a heavy chain in the yard is doing you nor them any good.

If you have ever lost a pet, you know how painful it is. People that have not gone thru that type of loss, especially with a dog, just don't understand how much our fur babies mean to us. They may be unable to help us with our grief.

Here is a book that may help youIt has steps to assist with processing your grief, and can help you explain to your children in ways that will help them also. There are also suggestions for memorializing your pet.

I haven't read the book yet, but the author is speaking from experience and the book looks like it covers some meaningful topics.

Mom saw me laying in my bed and went over to see me.

I'm just a silly girl! 😀🤪

I really like this idea! What about you?

My husband made this mailbox from some pipes!
Our boring black mailbox had been knocked down three times by teenagers, and after the last incident, my husband Mike came home with a determined look in his eyes. "No more regular mailboxes," he announced. "I'm building something that'll make people smile too much to destroy it."
I wasn't entirely sure what he meant until I saw him unloading PVC pipes, spray paint, and various plumbing supplies from his truck. For two weekends, he disappeared into the garage, refusing to let me see his progress. All I heard was cutting, drilling, and occasional bursts of laughter.
When he finally unveiled his creation, I couldn't stop giggling – a yellow dog mailbox with pipe legs, floppy PVC ears, and a red tongue-shaped mail flag! The body is an actual mailbox, but everything else is cleverly repurposed plumbing materials.
When we installed it at the end of our driveway, I worried what the neighbors might think (we live in a pretty traditional neighborhood). But within days, our dog mailbox became a local landmark. Delivery drivers take selfies with it, neighbors walk by just to see it, and the elementary school bus driver now announces "Puppy mailbox stop!" when dropping kids off on our street.
The most unexpected turn came when I shared photos in a "quirky home projects" group on the Tedooo app. My post went viral in their community, and suddenly people were sending me pictures of their own creative mailboxes inspired by our design. One crafty grandfather in Ohio made a giraffe version, and a woman in Florida created a flamingo!
Mike has received requests from neighbors to make custom versions, and he's turned it into a fun side business on Tedooo. He's made dolphin mailboxes for beach houses and even a dinosaur version for a paleontologist!
Not only has our mail delivery remained vandal-free for over a year now, but our pipe puppy has brought so much joy to our little corner of the neighborhood. Who knew a few plumbing supplies could create such a conversation piece?
And yes, our mail carrier loves it too, though she says sometimes it feels weird putting bills in such a happy-looking pup's mouth.
