Valentine's Day 2014

For eL

Mein Valentine Line

I wish I could write,

A better love letter.

Make music morning, noon, and night,

                      And

Always let loves light shine strong and bright.

Now wouldn’t that be quite the sight.

My heart skips a beat

                     And

I worship at your feet.

Your love is a treat.

That makes my life complete.

You are so sweet.

Sweet Valentine of mine,

Sweet as sweetest wine.

It is oh so divine when our hearts entwine,

With you I feel fine.

You are my inspiration,

My muse, my desperation,

My ruse, my dupe,

My soul's chicken soup,

My foible, my friend, and my foe,

Of unconditional love, now I know,

But where does it go, from where does it flow?

Where I never knew before,

From my heart it does pour.

It comes crashing in waves to flood the floor,

Swaying back and forth from peace to war.

Nay, I say no more.

Dear I do adore,

My darling,

My amore.

…and Thend

Jasper!

Jasper is a 5-7-month-old male heeler mix we found near Gunnison River. We have been looking for his owners via Internet, local newspapers, and through animal shelter, but clearly seems to be a case of abandonment. He is now up to date on shots, has been neutered, and is getting obedience training.

Update:  Jasper and his new family found each other!

If you want a smaller seat,
get up and move your feet.
         1,2,3 repeat
Don't eat meat, it isn't clean and neat.
And is the way to defeat!!
For a caveman living on Easy Street,
That's a difficult feat to complete.
Try going gluten free and don't eat wheat.
                   And
Remember, its O.K. to give yourself a treat.
But never ever drink milk from any udder,
Other then your mothers' Teat.
                  1,2,3 repeat
                   and Thend...
