how 'bout a pet!


right now i dont have any inside pets but i got a bunch of outdoor ones and im gonna write about them another time. i got thinking when i had some inside pets how much i liked it and why i did. pets get into your heart and get to be more than just friends cause they live with you and that makes them a real part of your family. theyre there all the time. theyre there when you get home, when you eat, when you go to bed, when you get up, when youre lonely or afraid or just need a friend to be with you. theyre always happy to see you and be with you and mostly they dont complain. they love you and dont ask for much except some love back from you. pets could make your mood lots better. if youre sad or feeling all antsy, playing and petting feels good for you and for your pet too and when they get you laughing from doing fun stuff that feels real good and makes you smile and feel happy. pets are good cause they could get you thinking on some one besides your self and make you know that you need to take real good care of some one besides you. when you have a pet its not just about you any more and its whole life is on your hands. you have to feed, water, comb and brush, make a good potty place, take it to the vet and get medicine and make sure you do every thing so it could be healthy and happy. having a pet is a big thing and lots of work and you gotta be sure youre ready for it. if you are then try to get a rescue pet cause they need you real bad. but theres lots of other kinds of pets so just get one that you could like, love and be ok taking care of. so, how ‘bout a pet? it could be a real happy thing for you and your family and specially for your new pet. …hugs from lenny

how 'bout a hug!


i don’t know ‘bout you but i love hugs. i love giving them and i love getting them. i bet you didnt know theres a national hug day and its on january 21st.

i got thinking about hugs and whats so neat about them. hugs are for lots of things. theyre for being happy, for when you’re sad or scared or sick, cause we like some one or love ‘em, to make some one just feel better, to say im sorry, to make up after a fight, to tell ‘em we care, to give comfort, to make em feel real safe and lots of other reasons. some times a hug isnt for any reason but just cause it feels like the right thing to do and it feels good in our heart.

i think theres different kinds of hugs. i like the bear hug cause its so close and squeezy tight and like for a minute were all one person together and for me thats a for real hug. theres a not for real hug and its one of those social thingys and it doesnt have much feeling and its not squeezy tight and its just for saying hello. theres group hugs and theyre neat for being close with a bunch of people.

whats in a hug that makes if feel so good? mostly i think it feels really good cause in the touch you could feel that some one really cares about you or loves you and they say it more strong in a hug than in just words. its really neat when you get hugged and get the words all at the same time. being wrapped up in some ones arms is a real feel good thing.

some times its real important to not just hug some one but ask if they could want a hug. thats like when i go with my brother to where he works with mental ill people. i always ask if one of them could want a hug and mostly every one says yes. i think thats cause they didnt get much hugs in their life and dont get any now. thats a real feel good hug for me and for them too! its ok to say no if you dont want a hug cause some times you just dont feel like it and some people dont like getting touched.

one of my brothers found this quote for me cause he knew im making this hugging post

“Hugging is healthy: It helps the body’s immune system, it keeps you healthier, it helps cure depression, it reduces stress, it induces sleep, it’s invigorating, it’s rejuvenating, it has no unpleasant side effects, and hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.” - Unknown –

now if you want to you could leave me a nice big hug and go give some one a just because hug! ..... …..biggy supersized hugs from lenny

a letter to mom on mothers day

i miss you soooo much. when you died my heart got all crumbled and tied up in a tight ball and i couldn’t take in even a little breath of air. all my insides got filled up with sad and i made so much tears i could have got drown in them. but little by little the crumble got less cause of remembering all the good stuff about you. it was like the hurting got shrunk up just like that time i put that pretty red turtle neck sweater you knitted for me in the washer and dryer and it got shrunk up so small that it looked like it could fit a for real turtle. ha ha. now theres so much things that could make me think about you with happy thoughts just like last night when i opened the deck door to go and feed the critters and i got a big nose full of some really pretty smelling bushes. i dont know what that bush was but it got me thinking of you cause of how you loved flowers and had that really pretty flower garden. it gave me a smile and a really nice memory. that kind of stuff happens lots of times cause now i could let it and before i couldnt cause of so much hurt being in the way. i think youll be happy that the hurt got shrunk cause you couldnt want me to be so sad for the rest of my whole life. i talk to you lots and i know you could hear me and i hear you in my heart even if you cant say stuff back out loud. some day im gonna get to be with you and im real happy for that. but right now cause im just right here still on the earth im gonna keep on being just me and do all the good stuff you taught me how to do. oh and you could need to know i dont ever forget to brush my teeth at night and i always talk to god before i get off to sleep. you could be real proud of me and my brothers and my sister cause were taking real good care of each other just like you taught us and just like you could want us to do. i love you more than a zillion of your apple pies and that’s a real lot cause you know how much i loved those yummy pies. happy mothers day in heaven mom! …love and hugs from your son lenny

a doggone good deed!


when you see some one who could need help its a real feel good thing to be a help for them. today when me and my brother were getting gas a dog who was in the back seat of a car in front of us got his leg caught real tight in the seat and wow he got yelping out so loud that every one all around could hear him. the lady whose dog it was tried getting him loose but cause he was a really big dog she couldn’t hold him and try to get his foot unstuck both at the same time. she was shaking all over and crying for her dog. my brother and a guy in another car ran over real quick to help. my brother grabbed up the big dog in his arms to keep him still and talked real nice to him so he wouldnt feel so scared. the other guy worked real hard and finally got the leg loose. that poor dog was panting and whimpering the whole time but you could see he got trusting my brother the guy getting him loose and he didn’t one time try to bite. when the leg got loose it had a big rip in it and was bleeding a lot. my brother held it closed with his hands and said for the lady to get some paper towels and a plastic bag from inside the store and she did. he wrapped the leg in a bunch of the towels and tied the bag around it so it could stop bleeding. wow that lady was so happy for the help she got and she said thanks a bunch of times. she wanted to give my brother money but he wouldn’t take any. she said she was going right to the vet to get the dogs leg stitched up. im real happy for the dog and that lady. doing good stuff for people who could need it makes your heart feel real good and happy. .....hugs from lenny
