.....and as different as night and day.

For those of you who know me ~ well, you are probably scratching your noggins wonderin what in the world I am talking about. ~ Shonda doesn't have any children. ~

No, not in the human sense I don't. But us single-ones that have not been blessed with the splash of life little ones bring ~ well, we have our own type of children. Just ask any one of us. And they often are covered with hair, have four legs and a tail. Let's hope so anyway.

Mine are something else ~ just let me tell ya.
My Saussie is a chihuahua/feist mix. She is 10 years old, and weighs only 6 pounds. I have had her since she was 6 months, so she really is my little girl.
My Squire is a Jack Russell Terrier. He is only 3 years old, and weighs 19 pounds. I have had him since he was 6 weeks old. The first few nights I had him, he slept on my neck. Now he won't leave my side. (literally) He is my little man.

Anyway ~ the differences in them are so extreme it is a miracle that they exist peacefully under the same roof. But they do. I don't think they have anything in common. Just like true sister & brother. Except that they love their Mommy. Aahhh.

So the real reason for this extra-long-rambling-seem-to-have-lost-my-train-of-thought-somewhere-along-the-way entry *whew, gotta catch my breath* was that today it is storming here in my part of the world. And my little Saussie is shivering at my feet extremely afraid of the big claps of thunder, while my fierce Squire stands at attention waiting to scare this enemy off with his bark every times it booms.

Oh well, that just made me chuckle and I wanted to share.

Yep, gotta love this life-o-mine.
I am currently Thunderstruck
I am listening to the rain, the thunder, and the musings of my "children".
