Todays Flowers!

My flowers today can be found in a wild area along a street that leads to the wet market. This is where the most beautiful flowers can be seen. My human companion Lui enjoy watching the flowers along this road because they thrive even if nobody seem to be caring for them!



These flowers are like angels, trumpeting the joyous season!



They sing of joy, of hope, of love . . . for everybody!
For people, animals, nature and the earth!



And these flowers rise above the noisy din of traffic, pollution and bare their beauty for everybody's enjoyment! Since I do not know the name of these flowers, I will call them The Strong because they are beautiful survivors.


And for this Holiday season, let me present to you our holiday picture card.

With this card, we wish you more flowers and nature's beauty! And I most especially like to give this to Grace, who is busy caring for her sick loved one. If I can only be with you Grace to lick your face and warm you with my big, black, furry self, I would!

Holiday Photo Shoot!

Last month, we were busy having our pictures taken for our holiday cards. We're sending more than a hundred cards again this year to all our friends around the world. If we have your address, expect to be included in our mailing list.


And this is my little brother Sweepy. He loves posing for the cameras.

When Sweepy sees somebody carrying a camera, he starts jumping back and forth. Sweepy can do several poses and he will not stop. So when it was my turn to pose, there goes Sweepy:


Sweepy will sit or stand beside me that it was totally impossible to have my picture taken without including Sweepy by my side!



Sweepy will do anything to be part of any activity, even to grab the bonnet I was wearing!



Of course, in the end, Sweepy will get tired or might go someplace, and I will be alone . . .


. . . and I can finally have my picture taken. Even if in a hurry. We received 20 cards already. Please wait for ours in the mail! Happy Holidays!

Today's Flowers

My human companion Lui found this flower while watering our plants one afternoon. It was hidden underneath the leaves of one of our plants whose name we do not know. People will not notice this flower unless you are like Lui who can spot anything unusual even if it is hidden among the leaves.


Lui thinks it is a flower. I went to check but I am not sure. It looks like one but it has no scent and it does not sing.

For three days we watched the round flower waiting for more surprises. Lui thought the thin spikes might unfurl colorful petals or transform into something like our Hoya flower, but it did not. It simply changed its round shape!



Like a spider falling on Lui's hand. Or thin petals drooping to fade. Lui still thinks it is beautiful even if no dramatic changes happened. I am still wondering if this hidden surprise is a flower or not.

Today's Flowers

. . . are happy holiday flowers that greet the busy people and dogs passing by the main street of our subdivision. My human companion Luchie told me they are called Zinnias. My other human companion Lui was not sure but told me she will ask our friends at TodaysFlowers community. Flower lovers around the world exchange flower stories there every week and I think I am the only flower dog in the group!



The Zinnias, if indeed these flowers are called by that name, are very beautiful and the caretaker wrapped the area in barbed wire probably to keep trespassers from picking or destroying the flowers. No wonder there are no pee mails in any of these flowers. However, the kind owner of these flowers allowed us to go near.



These flowers come in all velvety colors and they have a subtle strong pungent smell that hint of musk and herbs. Scents that humans don't really like. I like it though. Dogs have different preferences than humans when it comes to scents.



My human companion Lui was told that these flowers remain blooming for a week. That means the owners can enjoy it for a week. I wonder if we can grow them in our house Heaven? Luchie shook her head. That means she will not plant them. Luchie is the planter in Heaven.



Flower lovers will love staying at that garden but one must not overstay his welcome. Lui thanked the owner because Luchie is already waiting for us by the curb!
