Things that make you smile

[Ginger's Mom]

You picked a perfect day to ask this, Val. Ginger and I were playing, and she was acting like a puppy and we were having such a good time, I wanted to run outside and yell, "I love my dog!" But I figured the neighbors would call the men in the little white coats to take me away. But here it is okay to say it. I love my dog. I love the way her little face lights up when I let her play on the apparatus at the playground when no one is around. I love the way her face lights up like it did today, when she finds those little round balls (some sort of maple blossom from the trees or something?), and she throws them up in the air and chases them. Yeah, that's what makes me smile. Thanks.

I think I am known as the crazy girl who doesn't care about what you think around here, I do that sort of thing all the time!

[CalliesMom]

The kitties, of course; my husband and doing a good job at work. I enjoy what I do and could not imagine doing anything else.

Oh Pam, funny you should say that.
My 2 year old granddaughter loves dogs and cats.
Yesterday I pointed out a standard white Poodle on TV and said “look at the doggie�.
She looked at me with this serious look on her face, shook her head and said
“not a doggie, Oma, it’s a Sheep!�

LOL! LOL! Out of the mouths of babes! I was telling a co-worker today that grandchildren are God's reward for growing old! There must be some perks for old age - it is not for wimps that is for sure! LOL!

Kids who grow up around animals are doubly blessed I think. My grandson has always had some kind of furry animal sniffing at him from the day he came home from the hospital!

When Miss Hoppy stretches her nose toward me to be petted, them turns into flat bunny when I do pet her!

[Samantha Puppy]

When Samantha greets me at the door every day. She wags so hard her whole butt wiggles.

When Samantha gets a new bone, she carries it around like a trophy for days, sometimes weeks. Up to bed at night, back downstairs in the morning.

The way Samantha turns her head when she tries to understand what I'm saying. She loves sentences that begin with "Do you".

The sickening look of adoration she gives when my husband comes home from work. She flops over on one side to let him rub her belly and then follows him to the couch where he scritches her ears and she gazes up at him adoringly.

Watching my cats play together happily.

Watching my husband pick up and cuddle our cats. (He "hates" cats, didn't you know?) I especially love it when he does it when he thinks I can't see or hear. He's very sweet with them. Of course, when I "catch" him he says he's just gaining their trust so he can throw them in the river... until I leave the room again and he whispers to whomever he's holding "No, I won't!"

Watching my husband play with Samantha.

Getting e-mail. I love e-mail.

Thinking about hearing my baby's heartbeat on Friday for the first time... seeing my baby on a sonagram in the next few weeks... finding out the gender and calling it a name instead of "it"... holding my baby in my arms...

Seeing my friends from Scotland again over the holidays. They missed me so much, they're flying back over (even though they were over for 3 weeks last summer) for 2 more weeks and hopefully will be here for the birth of my first child.

My mom's cooking.

My dad's hug.

[Queen of Poop]

My Sasha dog makes me smile. Every and anything she does warms my heart. She is the most wonderful doggie ever. Right now she's under my computer desk, waiting for me to be done, looking up at me when I look down at her. She is my life, my reason for getting up every morning.

[Chica]

Chica makes me so happy!!!!

She is a little luv bug!!! She also sleeps under my covers every night. She is like a baby. She wants to be with me like I am her mommy. I love it.

[PJ's Mom]

My pets and my kids make me smile.

[slleipnir]

My babies! They always put a smile on my face. Just thinking about how much I love them makes me smile.

My family, some friends.

[popcornbird]

My sweet birds always make me smile. My family makes me smile. My dearest friends make me smile. Getting and email, IM, or phone call from someone who means a lot to me makes me smile really big. The weather makes me smile when its sunny, breezy, fresh, and beautiful. Picking and eating fresh fruit from our trees makes me smile. Going for a drive in the mountains, or going to the beach make me smile. Watching the sun rise or set makes me smile. Watching the wild birds enjoy a meal in our backyard makes me smile. LOTS of things.
