ANIMAL ANTICS-"The Pet Door" Free Funny Short Story

I use humor to get through tough times. Sometimes dark
humor, but humor none the less. I hope this true mouse tale makes you smile!
We recently put in a pet door so our two small dogs can go
out into their fenced yard and come back inside at will. Marcus, our elderly tan
terrier mix, has developed a urinary tract condition which makes it difficult
for him to wait for someone

One-Hour Vacations
By Courtney Pierce
It’s a toss-up: a pedicure or a deep tissue massage, the serious kind. Either option is a great mini-vacation to indulge myself, but a combo of the two services just might entice me to cancel a trip to Disneyworld (not that I’d ever go there anyway).
Step one on the enjoyment meter is to shut off my phone. No intruders are allowed to bust into my bubble.

A celebration of...me? by Peggy Jaeger
In this month's topic we are supposed to explore the ways we "celebrate" ourselves.
I have to tell you I had difficulty coming up with an answer that didn't make me sound a. conceited, b. self indulgent, or, 3. narcissistic.

I was raised in a strict Irish/Italian Catholic home. The only time we celebrated anything was if it was a Holy day. I never had birthday parties as a

What to Celebrate?
In this time of uncertainty it might be kind of hard to find things to celebrate... but I'm here to help you!
To give us (Charlie and I) something different to do during this time of stay at home orders, I have started looking up things on Sunday that we might like to celebrate.
For example....
Today is talk like Yoda (Do or do not. There is no try)
Want to do a little stay at home

Celebrate - every day !
I'm all for celebrating birthdays and anniversaries and maybe getting a present and a bit of extra attention - but I'm also for celebrating every day.
I'm a huge believer in gratitude, in finding things every day to celebrate. Even on days that maybe aren't so great.
It really takes a concerted effort to stop and look for the not so obvious things to celebrate. One that has become second

Celebrating the Little Things…in a Big Way by Delsora Lowe
In this
crazy world, we find ourselves inside or imprisoned in the confines of our
yards. Maybe we can wander through our neighborhoods, as long as we stay far
away from others.
When all
we hear is sad and bad news on a daily basis, as we have for months, instead of
only celebrating birthdays and holidays and work promotions and book
launches—those monumental milestones in one’s life—now

A beach read to take you away...by Kristin Wallace
It's been such a craaaaaaazy year. I barely know what day it is, let alone the month. The world seems to have stopped sometime in March, like a weird Twilight episode. Since most of us have been on
lockdown, it might be a good time to take a virtual vacation. How does Florida sound? A quaint beach town filled with characters you will love.
I'm talking about my Shellwater Key Tales series. The

Merry May #anniversary
Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of sci-fi and supernatural stories to engage your emotions. For me, May is always a month of celebration. Apart for the Romancing the Genres Blog-o-versary, May is also my wedding anniversary AND my book anniversary too. The 7th May 2012 saw the publication of my first ever novel. I'm now eight years published, with 20 titles listed on Goodreads to my name.
