I've had some strange requests from people who want to be my friend on Facebook, but Pugsly Puggles takes the cake--or should I say bone? I posted this on Facebook but I'm so amazed by it, I decided to post it here as well.
It's true. I've been asked to be a friend to a dog. I love dogs. I do. I have one (and yes, in this picture she is in dire need of grooming--which she has since received, just so you know). But it just surprises me that Pugsly can type. Not only that, but Pugsly Puggles wants to be my friend. MY friend. I'm kind of scared to ask, but what does that mean about me if my friends are dogs? Just wondering out loud here.
Anyway, thought I would share. It's not every day one gets singled out on Facebook by a dog. I don't know whether to rollover and play dead--or gnaw on a juicy bone.
What do you think?

I'm guessing most of us, when we were starry-eyed and filled with dreams at our wedding altars, missed the woman in the middle with folded arms and a frown on her face. Otherwise known as our soon-to-be . . . .
Mother-in-Law.
Shudder. Just saying the words sends tingles down your spine, doesn't it?
Okay, me neither. But sometimes a dramatic flair comes over me and I just can't help myself.
The truth is I was blessed with a wonderful mother-in-law and now a step-mother-in-law. Kind, loving, helpful. But I know many women who don't share that kind of relationship with their mothers or daughters-in-law.
My good friend is writing a non-fiction book on mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships. She is gathering vignettes and opinions along the way to deal with issues in her book. I told her I would blog this and get your views on the matter. :-)
As a daughter-in-law, I wanted to be the best I could be. Now that I'm older, as a mother-in-law, I want to be the best I can be. I love Ruth and Naomi's story in the Bible. But let me just say for the record, I'd have some serious issues with my mother-in-law if she told me to lie at a man's feet.
Still, we all want a good relationship with the woman who marries our son, don't we? Even if you're now a mother-in-law, you've developed a long-term relationship with your mother-in-law. So all you daughters-in-law out there, no matter your ages, answer me this:
"What one thing could your mother-in-law do (or could she have done) to help you have a better relationship?"

Sisters. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are short, tall, fat, skinny, introverts, extroverts. Sisters squabble and fuss, giggle and share things--sometimes even secrets.
Sisters know the family history. She knows YOUR history--and she loves you anyway. She shares in your frustrations and many time causes them! But in the end, you don't care, because you're sisters.
I have an older sister. Time and distance have kept our relationship at arm's length, but I if I was in trouble, I know she would be here for me in a heartbeat. And I'd be there for her.
Sometimes we have "sisters" who aren't necessarily blood-related, but they're just as special to us. Maybe if you don't have a close blood sister, you are blessed with a friend who is like a sister. Both are blessings and never to be taken for granted.
So my blog today is to remind you, if there's a "sister" in your life who needs to hear from you today, call her. Send her a note. Remind her that you're there for her and you love her. You'll be glad you did. And who knows, maybe you'll be calling her at just the right time, right when she needed to hear from you. But then that's no surprise. It's what sisters do, right?
One more thing. Maybe you want to share why your sister--blood-related or not--is special to you.
