- Shake Things UpSo I've posted in length about my writing trouble. I wouldn't call it writer's block, more like...writer's constipation? I did manage to write something very quickly, which was different than anything I'd written before. That difference helped me focus and get it done very quickly.Sometimes you have to shake things up to shake things […]Mechele Armstrong

This is an older story, but I just saw it last week for the first time and wanted to share. I dare you not to cry. Go on, watch it and try…

Wasn’t it great?

One very happy and relieved penguin. Some neat shots of the orcas too.
Cats will do ANYTHING for food.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m a big animal lover, and this cute (slightly odd) vid made me smile today. I hope it does the same for you.
Hope you have a great week!

Once a week, I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else) that I’ve seen or read about recently. So here is this week’s For the Love of …
I’m sharing more videos this week. Sometimes a great animal story can just make my day. Thanks to Rosie for sharing these with me.
This first one reminds me of my cat Hunter. He’s pretty good at giving kisses, and I don’t use any food as a reward. I’m not sure if that means Hunter is really smart, or really stupid. Or maybe I am because I let him lick my cheek.
This one shows baby raccoons being rescued from a vending machine. Awww, come on, you know it’s cute. Baby raccoons. You can say it…
Here’s one about an amazing dog named Faith. A few years ago, I saw the story of how her owners taught her to walk on two legs. It wasn’t an easy task. It took them many hours working with her and a lot of lost sleep (so she wouldn’t hurt herself). Amazing. Now she’s helping recovering veterans. Pretty cool.
You can read more about Faith on her site: http://faiththedog.info (be sure to check out her puppy pic)
And here’s a pic of Faith with Rick Springfield for my friend Connie. Enjoy, hon!
Have a good one!

With the close of every year, I try to take a few minutes to remember all the wonderful moments of my life, the friends and family and significant times that have made the year special for me.
As 2009 came to a close, I took a moment to remember one special little guy who brightened many days for me, but unfortunately lost his battle with cancer this past year. Today, I thought I’d share some of my favorite photos of him. He was a big part of what made me smile every day, and I thank my niece for suggesting I take a look at this homeless little guy all those years ago.
Jesse was smart and regal and full of live. And he was a fighter. He was sick from the minute I adopted him. Several times my vet looked at me in that caring way he has and tried to tell me he didn’t think Jesse would have a long life, that this time it might be the end. But Jesse would have none of that. He came back to full force many times over and lived to play another day. He was one of the gentlest, smartest pets I’ve ever known. It was hard sometimes to tell he was blind.
Thanks to these pictures, Jesse still makes me smile.
I hope you all have a wonderful, healthy, happy 2010!!
