Rex and Lucky Dog
What are the little things in life that bring you the most joy?
Can I tell you a little, tiny story, oh please?
Animals often make me laugh, especially this one. I am the aunt to this adorable dog, Rex. Full blown German Shepherd and damn proud of it. Here’s the funny thing: He has a favorite TV show. Every Saturday he watches a show called Lucky Dog. He LOVES it. He can barely contain himself and his excitement. It is a glorious day when Lucky Dog is on!
Sometimes he tries to scratch the TV screen so he, too, can play with the dogs on the show. He also runs around the back of the TV to FIND them, as if they’re hiding.
He reminds me, once again, that it’s the little things we love to do in life that bring the most joy. For me, it’s books, gardening, the beach. For Rex, it’s Lucky Dog.
What is it for you?

Marina Elias Starbuck I am the proud owner of a German Shepherd, and they are goofy dogs! smile emoticon
Cathy Lamb Absolutely adorable, Marina Elias Starbuck. Look at that rabbit!
Marina Elias Starbuck It’s one of her many ‘babies’ that she cares for. She carries them around, and grooms them! She never chews them
Alissa Schad Almost anything i get to do with my Adam. He is so special and i LOVE his innocence on life. I believe they are here to teach us. One of my favorite is candy cigarettes @ Kareoke, concerts with him (this one Lynard Skynard pulled him on stage during a Simple Kind of Man ) and the beach
Adria Cimino That is adorable, Cathy! Our cat’s favorite movie was “Microcosmos” a French movie that showed bugs up close in their natural environment. Lelee would look behind the TV, thinking that’s where the ants had gone… smile emoticon
Terry Torres Maloney I get a real kick from seeing hummingbirds land on a flowering bush outside my bedroom window because they are really close.
Cathy Lamb Terry Torres Maloney They are at my house now too!
Jaymi Couch This is Jackson. He is a rescued Plott Hound and he is such a love. But he’s got this very strange habit. He likes things touching his head and/or back. He will slo-o-o-wly walk around and under a fake ficus tree (to the point where you kinda have to l…See More
Kimberly Brock My dachshund does this smile emoticon
Sonja Yoerg When I’m writing I often feel like a rescued plot hound.

Kelly J. Phillips I have an old overstuffed chair I bought from a friend for $25. I keep my favorite Redskins Football blanket on the broken footstool. (One of the small legs are missing) but it’s awesome and so very comfy. I have a side table for my coffee and everyon…See More
Cathy Lamb I so need a “reading chair,” Kelly J. Phillips
Jeannine Mallory Since I never had children, I find great joy when I am with dogs. I love to watch their faces , their antics, and just about anything they do. A dog can lower my blood pressure.
Cathy Lamb You betcha, Cathy Davis

Dusti Douglass This is Parker, one of my greatest joys since I have no children. I love good stories in any form, crafts, travel, and cooking. These and my partner, Tracy, bring me most of the joy in my life. 😀
Cynthia Dix I wish I had pictures of Family Cat #2 watching Rin Tin Tin Canine Cop! He would hear the theme music and come streaking through the house! He’d sit, bolt upright, in front of the tv, and Watch! You could see his head move as he tracked the action across the screen, and his ears flickered as he paid attention to the sound. Cracked me up!!
Cathy Lamb Brandi Megan Granett Geez. Look at those arrows!
Brandi Megan Granett I love my sport wink emoticon

Karen Sconiers White 😂😂😂😂Sweet boy!!!
Cathy Lamb And where is the photo, Karen Sconiers White? Hmmmm????
Karen Sconiers White Sadly I’m on tour and away from my funny furry people or I would send a photo of my puppy staring at the screen on the back porch thinking she has a chance at all the birds flying by. 😂🐶🐾

Natalie Ivory These two most of all bring the greatest joy.. (hence why her middle name is Joy lol).. Also working on my genealogy, walks in the woods, gardening, and reading. I love how all the things I love keep me grounded. (also naps, I love those too.. They make me happy lol)
Sandra Jean Lawrence I would post a pic, but I’m at work. My chocolate lab, Dixie, LOVES the laser pointer, to the point of quivering and drooling when we reach for it.

Amy Rogers My 3 year old’s angel heart, my horses, coffee, and being back in the West. When we moved back from Georgia, my husband bought me a coffee at McD’s in Laramie, WY on the drive. The cup said, “Welcome Home”. I cried. My daughter’s heart transplant i…See More

Cathy Lamb Ginger Cabrera And they are all adorable.
Cathy Lamb Barbara McGrath WOW and WOW and WOW. I love that!!
Cathy Lamb I love him, Molly Duncan Campbell!!
Rochelle Deans What an awesome dog. Right now, many of my small joys come from my two-year-old. When she’s not driving me up the wall, she is adorable, and says the most… interesting things. I have a feeling she’ll be a great storyteller one day.
Sheri Poff My four year old basset hound Todd. He brings joy to the family! He is boss! Very stubborn! He loves to play and do little mischievous things for fun! He is very smart! He actually catches on to names of people and things very quickly! He is one spoiled rotten basset hound! We love him!
Anne Hovey Brandolini Reading on the porch with my dog curled up next to me. My 65 pound lab pit mix who thinks he’s a lap dog.
Kathleen Bylsma Poor 17 year old Rascal atands patiently staring into the conor on the front porch, even thought the door is open wink emoticon He still loves his walks and is very spry!
Dana Kennedy Criger This is my baby, River. She is totally like a little human with 4 legs. Love her!
Tammy Anderson Good story. Our loves are the same three but I have to add in shopping and movies.
Christy Leigh Thank you for the story. This is precious !!!! ❤️
Molly Duncan Campbell Love!
