Meet Layla. Ms. Layla is new to our family. The rescue group we got her from said she was a mix of yorkie and pug. I don't think so. If here tail were docked, she'd look like a full-blooded border terrier, not that it really matters. What does matter is she is cute, loving, enjoys a cuddle, is a lovely sofa buddy and gets along with Max Kitty and Jesse Dog.
I have to say that it warms my fuzzy critter loving heart to sit here on the sofa with my laptop writing with Layla curled up next to me. It is overcast outside with the occasional sprinkle. Jesse is peacefully laying on the floor and Max Kitty is curled up atop his 'Tower of Terror'. (Tower of Terror = Max attacks from his tower any hand that goes near him and woe to any lizard that enters Max's domain.) But even with all this warm fuzziness around me, there are times that I feel sad.
I love social media. I will fully admit that I am a social media junkie. I check on things several times a day. My friends and family are scattered across the globe and social media is a way for me to stay connected with folks even when we are continents apart. I dearly love to read all the happy posts and look at all the happy photos. You know the ones I mean - kids at ball games, family vacations, family events like weddings. All that happy happy stuff. But, along with the happy comes the sad. There are links to news stories about dreadful things. There are things that folks post and/or chatter about that I find really distasteful and disrespectful of others. But, I believe that free speech is a fundamental right so even if I disagree with something, folks still have the right to use their voices.
