☀Sunlit Sunday: Week 4


As I sit here writing this, I think it's time for a soothing cup of lemon & ginger tea. I just left my foster cat, Cameo, at a pet store for an afternoon showing; she's in the care of two volunteers.



A last minute change in the scheduling has my girl in a roomy crate with a neighbour beside her, a big, beautiful Golden mix, who is housed in an enormous crate. The person who fosters the dog promised that her husband would pick up the handsome boy if either animal felt stressed in the presence of the other. Someone I don't think Béliveau is likely to cower in fear in the presence of Cameo. I guess I'll find out how Cameo felt about some canine company when I pick her up and see whether the dog is still there! If he is, the good news will be that Cameo will tolerate a dog at close proximity, even after a short acquaintance.

I'm not entirely convinced that Cameo will be as relaxed as she is in my (her) living room! A couch that needs some straightening makes a comfortable spot for a snooze in the sunshine.




There's  a lot to be said for comfort. It's certainly a perk for Cameo that she is staying in a foster home rather than a crate in a shelter. The same goes for Béliveau. (Yes, hockey fans, the dog is named after the recently departed hockey great, Jean Béliveau of the Montreal Canadiens.)

Last evening, I heard that someone lovely has applied for Cameo. That doesn't mean an adoption will happen, but it's a step in the right direction!

I hope you find many sunny spots in the upcoming week.

Note: Some people had some trouble linking. That problem should be fixed now.

Your turn!

  1. Hi Karen, It looks like I'm # 1 this week. I'm happy that Cameo may get a new home. She certainly likes to pose for you. The first photo of the fruit is so colourful. I hope you are enjoying the weekend. Thank you for hosting. Pam

  2. There is so much sunshine in your home (literally and figuratively). I wish you a great week ahead and I hope sweet Cameo will find a lovely permanent home with as much sunshine as her current lovely foster home.

  3. Wouldn't it be nice if Cameo does find her forever home, although she's pretty comfy lounging in the sunlight at your place Karen.
    I was reading your guidelines and agree with the one about linking and running, a common practice of many bloggers. :-)

  4. What sweet photos of Cameo - I hope things went well for her.

    I love the bright colors of the orange.

    I tried to post my link and it keeps giving me an error - saying that I don't have a back link - but I do.

    http://scenethroughmyeyes.blogspot.com/2015/01/sunlit-sunday_24.html perhaps you can help me.

  5. I think I have been much like Cameo... looking for a sunny spot to just laze about! Your weekly challenge got me off the sofa. Your orange and red are so vibrant and pretty!

    Hoping that you can see my link submission and fix the problem. Like JoAnn, above, I did have a back link, but for some reason, it didn't accept. Thanks! Susan

  8. I've tried again and now I have two backlinks in my post: one to this post and a second to your whole blog, but again it says "No backlink". Now I give it up... sorry

  9. A lovely sunlit post, Karen! Thank you for hosting Sunlit Sunday!

    Concerning the linking, my "Finnish" Blogger changes the backlink addresses to http://mylittlehomeandgarden.blogspot.fi/. When I wrote CA instead of FI, everything works smoothly. :)

  11. I am so pleased Karen that Cameo has attracted some interest and that she is happy with dogs too as that will open more possibilities for her won't it. You must be happy about that as well. I hope that there is a new forever home for her very soon. Cat fostering seems to be something that you are very good at and they all certainly seem to be very happy staying with you! I see that others have had link troubles, I have e-mailed you about my link. Happy sunny (I hope!) weekend! xx

  17. I am really enjoying these Sunday posts. Lots of happy thoughts ideas and images. I just looked out our window and finally we have a bit of sunshine!! Yippee!! But there were 8 deer in the road, I'm still mad at them for eating our tomatoes last summer!
