Poppy Tuesday, a day of Hope on July 14th, 2015

Poppy Tuesday, a day of Hope

Good morning friends.

Welcome to Poppy Tuesday, a day of Hope.  Today has great possibilities written all over it.  Anytime I get in a little rut I have to remind myself the story of Poppy.  If he can do it, so can I.  Little Patrick is truly the quintessential underdog, pun intended.

OK, let’s get this day started with two positive notions;

1. The Acronym for Hope is; “Hopeful Opportunities Presented Everyday”

2. I’m going to keep and open mind, open heart and I’m going to remain focused.

With that friends, have a wonderful Poppy Tuesday.  Its great to be alive on July 14, 2015

Poppy Tuesday on June 23rd, 2015

Poppy Tuesday on June 23, 2015

Good morning friends.  It’s great to be alive on June 23rd, 2015.

Little Poppy Seeks came to wish everyone a wonderful Poppy Tuesday.  As you can see Pops has some mischief going on his mind.  I guess its true what they say; ” boys will be boys”

OK friends, lets kick this day off with two positive notions;

1. No matter the outcome of this day, if you show up for your life today and do the best you can joyfully, you are a winner in my book.

2. What makes someone a winner ?   A winner feels good about themselves and rolls with the punches that life throws at them.  How do you become a winner ?  You don’t take the punches life throws at your personally.  Because its not personal, its just life.

Happy Tuesday friends.

Welcome to Poppy Tuesday

Poppy Tuesday is about Hope

Good morning friends.  Welcome to Poppy Tuesday.  We hope everyone a nice sleep, its very important and healthy get enough sleep.

Poppy Tuesday is about hope.  Remember we took Patreeko home after we saw him spending  many months at the pet store and kept getting marked down in price.  He did not have an easy start in this life at all.  But all that changed when we brought him home.  From being unwanted and alone on 61st and Lexington avenue, right across the street from Bloomingdale’s,  to living in Puerto Rico with three major animal lovers, Vanessa, Jorge (Vanessa’s dad), and me, not to mention 4 other loving dogs.

What I’m saying is if something like that can happen to Poppy Seeks (Patreeko), something like that can happen for anyone other dog or anyone of us. Life can change for the good on a dime.  Stay focused, keep an open mind and an open heart, the universe response to everyone’s energy, the good, the bad and the indifferent.  So choose the good energy and the universe will choose to send positivity your way.

So with that, have a great and hopeful Poppy Tuesday.  Sincerely,  Scot Smith on day 149 in Puerto Rico.

I’m defined by me

I'm defined by me

Good evening friends.

It’s great to be here with everyone.  Life was great today on Jun 1st, 2015.  Feeling really grateful today and I’d like to share that with all of you.  Positivity is contagious just like negativity.  Some very smart people told me once the only one I can compare myself to is myself.  I always like hearing that, it keeps me grounded.

My friends I know I’ve been pounding the happiness drum lately, i hope it doesn’t come off  in an arrogant fashion, it’s not intended to do so.  After living in the dark for some many years, I’m just ecstatic to be free and happy. Hopefully those remarks can give hope to some of you in dark times now.

Nobody has the right to inflict their expectations on us, its our life, not theirs.  Keep that as mental capital.  That’s one of the main tickets to freedom.  Everyone in the world is as confused as you are, so your decisions are just as good.

Let’s close out with two positive notions;

1. I am not perfect, when i try to be perfect it causes me unhappiness.  When I’m just me, I feel happy.

2. This one needs to be drilled in our heads, I am not defined by what people think of me, I’m defined by what I think of myself.  If certain people don’t like me, that’s OK, i will find other friends that do.

Birthday Fun With the Gang

Pret Birthday Party Fun

Good morning friends.

We hope everyone a nice long holiday weekend.

Here’s  a picture of a  little Pre birthday party fun with the crew.  As you can see Jeffrey is as sweet as they come.  It was a treat having him for my birthday this year.  This was real nice moment for all of us.

Life is good today on May 26th, 2015.  Tip of the day; We all deserve a nice day today.  Give today a chance.

Catch up with you tonight friends.

Three Hearts Beat as One

Kelly and three hearts

Good morning friends. As you can see Kelly has three hearts in mind.  One for Sammy, one for Henry and one for Patreeko.  There’s a lot of love in this household.

Now if i may go on an A.D.D. tangent for 30 seconds, I would like to twist up the lyrics of two songs.

The lyrics from U2 when they sing ♫♫♫ Two Hearts Beat as One ♫♫♫

Let’s revise that to; ♫♫♫ Three Hearts Beat as one ♫♫♫

And the lyrics from The Doors when they sang ♫♫♫ Love me Two times, I’m gone away ♫♫♫

Let’s revise that to; ♫♫♫ Love me Three times, I’m gone away ♫♫♫

Poppy-Seeks came to say happy Tuesday

Poppy-Seeks wanted to say happy Tuesday

Good morning friends.

Little Poppy-Seeks wanted wish everyone a wonderful Tuesday.  No matter what side of the bed we woke up on today, its another gift.

It can always be better, it can always be worse.  What am I grateful for today, that is the question ?  As for me, I’m grateful for being part of Patreeko’s life and seeing his happiness.

As I’ve said before, Vanessa and I might have rescued him, but he completed this family and brought us happiness to a whole other level.

OK, fun look back on today, April 14th, 1948 in history;  NYC subway fares jump from 5 cents to 10 cents.

Happy Tuesday friends.

Happy Birthday Vanessa Martinez

Happy Birthday Vanessa

Good morning friends.

Its Vanessa’s birthday today and we figured to post this fabulous picture of Kelly and her.  Its always nice when a birthday falls on a Saturday.  Its like winning twice for the price of one.  I will tell you her age in Spanish, cuarenta y siete.  Shhhhh.

As you can see Kelly is trying to say something to Vanessa.  For the purposes of this post, lets just assume she is saying; “Happy Birthday Mom”

Late afternoon we are getting Patreeko Groomed, and then Henry tomorrow.  New groomers, new experiences, we’ll see.

By the way, Happy Birthday to whomever’s birthday is today as well.  Time to get up and out.  Check in with y’all later.

Papa Seeks wanted come say goodnight

Goodnight From Patreeko

Good evening friends.

Patreeko wanted to come say goodnight.  We hope y’all had a great day.  If you did not, like I didn’t, we have to remember what Scarlett O’Hara said in The Movie Gone With The Wind, “But after all, tomorrow is another day”

Day 44 here in Puerto Rico.  The 5 dogs are humming along beautifully.  Overall things are status que or copacetic as some call it.

As Patrick lays on the floor you can see his preoccupation with animal welfare around the world. He knows too many animals don’t get to lay comfortably on the floor feeling satisfied.  It seems so random about where these animals end up, like a roll of the dice or something.  And that just ain’t right.  Animals deserve much more forethought then a random roll of the dice.

No lives will go in vain, no pain will go unnoticed.  Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.

Bailey Will Lead Us out Tonight

Bailey will lead us out tonight

Good evening friends.

Tonight we have Bailey leading us out.  He is a member of Linda Richards-Labrot and family. Bailey looks very much like Patreeko, Linda was saying they could be cousins, I think she’s right. As you can see Bailey is fit to be a King sitting high up on the bed like that.  It’s funny how are pets all seem to take over the home.

Family members all have their own room, but pets, they’re room is every room.  They are bound by nothing. Whichever room has something going on is the room they will occupy.

Sammy & Family would like to thank Linda for making the world a better place, one Bailey at a time.
