I like you new blog look, and the snaps of your pup and cats are great!<br /><br />With regard to Musing Mondays, I don't like any background noise when I am reading. I can stand quiet background music but if the choice is mine I will do without it. <br /><br />I do however rely on the background breathing, sighing, scratching and yawning sounds of my pups and if they are ever away from home the quiet is deafening! An odd expression but I am sure any cat or dog owner understands, you get used to the background noise that animals make and it is a comfort.<br /><br />Happy Weekend to you!!Dancin Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09502277364901407733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-40218719246118986782009-09-26T02:47:12.502-07:002009-09-26T02:47:12.502-07:00I did not know about LT's wish list.
