Feeling Short On Time

I have been trying to work on fall cleaning

in the yard and decorating for fall.

It just seems to be taking me longer than usual.

Maybe this is why... 

Usually I take a week off work in September but

I didn't this year as I'm saving my vacation

leave to use later this year.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being an animal Mom is time consuming.

There is always lots of cleaning and vacuuming of fur.

 

Each animal has their needs & wants

for love and attention everyday!

Finn is always into something..

Henley gets cuddles every night while I

watch some TV.

 During the day Finn and Henley hang out. 

Here Finn is enjoying  the new a cozy drawer

bed I made with a feather pillow inside.

Every night my big buns look for their time and cuddles.

Hank has now become accustomed to it too.

and every week the

birds get their bath so

their feathers don't dry out.

In the summer I garden

and make up bunny veggies

or make treats which include

baking and dehydrating

food.

The parrots also get cooked food and fresh fruits daily

Not to mention

cleaning the

7 - big litter boxes we have

in our house.

2 cat boxes are sifted daily

and the 5 bunny boxes are

dumped completely and

filled with fresh

hay and shavings

 every other day.

I'm kind of a neat freak and

like everything clean

all the time.

and last but not least my

horse Hottie which

I board at a barn and go

out to see and ride a

minimum of 3 days per week.

I am so thankful for my wonderful

husband that helps me all the time with

all of the animals.  I'm grateful that he loves animals

and puts up with all my craziness.

It is obvious the animals all love him.  They

are a good judge of character.  Even

Finn loves him, even after Matt has been giving

him daily heart meds.

So I guess it kind of makes sense when I look at

why maybe I feel like I'm behind

due to being a little

short on time but ....

I know it seems like insanity...

but I believe it is my

calling and I can't imagine a

life without animals in it.

So maybe I am a little behind

on some things but that's because

it is filled with so much more!

It a world where it seems there

is so much tragedy going

on, I think it is good to

focus on the good things

that bring purpose to your life!
