I LOVED that japanese house. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your superb videos. Lovely. I like dog puppies.
ReplyDeleteThe little retriever is so cute and it really loves water. The Japanese home is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHello, I love seeing the puppy learn to swim video. It brought back memories of my old dogs. Wonderful quotes and videos. Thanks for sharing. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteNice videos!
ReplyDeleteYou have reminded me again how smart our animals are and how we often don't give them enough credit. Funny, though, our Golden did not like the pool or deep water. We get her in the pool and she got out as fast she she could.
ReplyDeleteI'll be out of pocket for a couple of days but wish you a wonderful week!
Great.
ReplyDeleteFantastic post! These dogs from first video are so cute :).
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda,
ReplyDeleteJ'ai beaucoup aimé le documentaire sur les gorilles/ Puis la charmante vidéo sur ce petit Golden.
Merci pour toutes tes publications.
Bon lundi. Je t'embrasse
The swimming golden retriever puppy was so cute!
ReplyDeleteAwww on the lab teaching her baby to swim. That was most adorable.
ReplyDeleteI linked you to Awww Mondays.
Have a fabulous day, Linda. ♥♥♥
"My idealistic side and my realistic side like to fight about things." TRUTH!
ReplyDeleteSmartypants...I have been known to eat an entire bag of Smartie candies...love them!
Hello Linda, I could watch that little puppy all day, he looks so joyous when he jumps in! The Japanese house reminds me of Doctor Who’s Tardis.Lovely selection again today. I hope your week is going well. x
ReplyDeleteHi! Teaching how to swim video is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bouquet of Lovely Thoughts, Linda! I enjoyed all of them, and feel as though I've been swimming and all refreshed, now that I've visited your domain today. Wishing you a wonderful week! xo
ReplyDeleteAnimals are so much more intelligent than we give them credit for! Thanks for sharing the videos!
ReplyDeleteLoved Golden Retriever video! The puppy jumping in the pool is so adorable :-) Impressive tiny house in Japan.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Linda!
Dear Linda - the video of the Golden Retriever puppy learning to swim was adorable. The Gorillas were superb and very touching. As for the shoes of the 50's - wow I think we might take a few lessons from the past in designing ours now. Hope you had a great Easter dear friend. As always such a joy on Monday to come visit you. Have a wonderful day. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteso many wonderful videos- thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe shoes remind me of the days when women were glamorous - now we dress for comfort. Not sure which is better.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, wonderful videos and quotes. The gorilla video was beautiful and the Japanese house was fascinating! It looked so spacious and bright.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

What a 'big' tiny one, Linda !
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are here, friend Linda ... thank you ... Love, cat. PS: Wonder what our lil Malaysian kitten boy is doing these days ...
ReplyDeleteWonderful and interesting videos. Great quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteI am always in awe at how mant fascinating articles you manage to put together for a post. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOh what sweet and inspiring phrases with lovely images! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLinda, Love golden retrievers and that puppy and it's mom in the pool were delightful! I'm glad that you posted the gorilla video. I'd seen a little in the news about the visit but not a video! What an experience...mind blowing! As for the shoe designers...I always thought that it was men who designed those torture chambers for women's feet! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteHello Linda!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the videos! They are amazing!
I am glad you visit my blog and for the nice comment!
My goodness, the post about the gorilla - it must have taken a leap of faith for the girl to be that close to the gorilla, even though she knew him from when she was young. I held my breath as I watched!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post Linda and all the interesting things to see in it :D)
My pick goes to the swimming dogs! Cuteness overload, Linda! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOooh, mummy and puppy are just a bundle of cuteness!
ReplyDeleteCarve your name on hearts -- that's what i want to do.
ReplyDeleteThe videos about the dogs and the gorillas were so sweet. Animals are amazing, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Linda! 💕
ReplyDeletehaave a great week.
ReplyDeleteThat's my message in a bottle.
I hope that you had a lovely Easter, Linda! I really loved both of the animal videos. Animals are far more than "just animals." There is a great deal we can learn from them. I spent this afternoon with a friend who is going through a difficult time. So many of your quotes today we things we were talking about ~ rather uncanny! Thanks for always lifting people up! Sending you hugs and love!
ReplyDeleteThe gorilla’s reunion with the girl after 12 years was so heart-warming. Animals can be wiser than they are thought to be. The Japanese house looks so comfortable to live. The architect took advantage of the limited space effectively. Have happy days ahead, Linda.
ReplyDeleteYoko
Puppies arre always so cute☺
ReplyDelete"Getting no message is also a message." me semble tout à fait exact Linda

ReplyDeleteThis is a gem, Linda. I try to find the beauty in everything too. Sometimes it's hard to, but I try my best!
