Viola found a family

Welcome Home, Miranda!
They are enjoying their time together but Angel baby or should I say Angel Momma has all the instincts to correct 6 puppies and using it all on poor little Miranda chile'.
Angel Momma is having a couple weeks of spa time with the girls before going back to the guys. Our yard has been over run with bunnies all spring but now, just one week and one happy bunny hunter later, they are all keeping their distance.
Happily Miranda took the long drive here like a Rip Van Winkle trooper and slept most of the way. It may have helped that the ones she loves the most were visible the whole way (Angel Momma and Bonny.)
Thanks for all the time and work you put into the breeding and care of our baby. She makes us so happy!

Who is THAT?
To keep the crumb-crunchers from frolicing through to chow we put a handfull of kibble and a dish of formula on the fireplace, easy access, yet hard to step in accidentally.
A couple days ago I caught Sebastian checking out the strange pup in the glass while going for a snack. The puppy in the corner is Miranda.

Pleasant Coolness in the Heat...(Novena day 7)
Pleasant coolness in the heat,
Solace in the midst of woe.

Day of Wrath! O Day of Mourning! ( Novena day 6)
Now on a much more grave note...
I found this in an old mass Missal (Our Parish Prays and Sings Sunday Mass Book copyrighted 1966, page 300). It is in the mass settings called "Mass for Heavenly Union with Christ" It is the "sequence" for that mass which, I think, is a funeral mass.
A meditation on the last things.
Day of wrath! O day of Mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets warning
Heav'n and earth in ashes burning!
O what fear man's bosom rendeth
When from heav'n the judge descendeth
On whose sentence all dependeth!
Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth;
Through earth's sepulchers it ringeth;
All before the throne it bringeth.
Death is struck and nature quaking,
All creation is awaking
to its judge an answer making.
Lo! the book, exactly worded,
wherein all hath been recorded:
Thence shall judgement be awarded.
When the judge his seat attaineth
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth.
What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me be interceding,
When the just are mercy needing?
King of majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us!
Think, good Jesus, my salvation
Cost thy wondrous incarnation;
Leave me not to reprobation!
Faint and weary, thou hast sought me,
On the cross of suff'ring bought me.
Shall such grace be vainly brought me?
Righteous judge! for sin's pollution
Grant thy gift of absolution,
Ere the day of retribution.
Guilty, now I pour my moaning,
All my shame with anguish owning;
Spare, O God, thy suppliant groaning!
Thou the sinful woman savedst:
thou the dying thief forgavest;
And to me a hope vouch-safest.
Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
Yet, good Lord, in grace complying,
Rescue me from fires undying!
With Thy favored sheep O place me,
Nor among the Goats abase me,
But to thy right hand upraise me.
While the wicked are confounded,
Doomed to flames of woe unbounded,
Call me with thy saints surrounded.
Low I kneel with heart submission:
See like ashes my contrition:
Help me in my last condition.
Ah that day of tears and Mourning!
From the dust of earth returning,
Man for judgement must prepare him;
Spare, O God, in mercy spare him!
Lord, all pitying, Jesus Blest,
Grant them thine eternal rest. Amen.
You just don't hear this kind of material any more.
Brings one down a notch doesn't it?
(Spell check didn't even recognize "reprobation"... hmmm.)

A Couple of Web Shots ( Novena day 3)
Here are some shots of their first puppy kibble all mashed up with formula and it's immediate effect- sleep. Literally, Viola just about dropped in her tracks.
Notice the action shot of Benny behind Viola while she eats. leaping to freedom!

It Has Begun (Novena Day 2 by the way)
At aproximately 11:30 on the morning of May 19th, wilst his siblings slept, Orlando, third son of Big Dude and Little Angel, ATE PUPPY CHOW. I kid you not. The intrepid boy, shyest and friendliest of the six pups, most reluctant to lap formula from a dish, gobbled down a healthy third of a saucer full of puppy chow (softened with formula to the consistancy of baby food).
The chile' seems to be suffering no ill effects of his adventure, romping and frolicing about the living room as his brothers and sisters sleep on through the 90 degree heat. He seemed quite eager to try the food, licking his lips happily as it was prepared and then ravenously slicking the fork I mashed it together with. Unfortunately all our cameras are out of battery, so the groundbreaking event was not caught on film.
Must buy more batteries.
