A Life Uncommon: Aloha Friday

Aloha Friday

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog

Today’s question is: Do you shave your dogs in the summer?

Kimberly said...: We have a Labradoodle (half poddle half Lab) and her hair can get really long (even though she doesn't shed). We actually have her shaved every 5 months or so all year round. My Aloha Friday is up: Spice World; June 13, 2008 at 6:44 AM

Anonymous said...: Shave my dogs? No!! :-) They would look pretty silly if they were bald. I do have their hair clipped short year-round only because they look better and require less maintenance that way. But my vet explained to me that dogs have built-in body temperature regulation systems. So long as they have adequate ventilation and water, they are built to function with the type of hair the Divine Creator bestowed upon them!; June 13, 2008 at 8:10 AM
Cathi said...: I don't currently have a dog but yes, I did shave the dogs I had in the summer. The last dog we had was a german shepherd and he liked his summertime "do" after he got used to the cats laughing at him. :)
Good question. Mine's up too.; June 13, 2008 at 6:59 PM

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
