For each and every joyful thing,
For twilight swallows on the wing,
For all that nests and all that sings —
For fountains cool that laugh and leap,
For rivers running to the deep,
For happy, care-forgetting sleep —
For stars that pierce the sombre dark,
For Morn, awaking with the lark,
For life new-stirring ‘neath the bark —
For sunshine and the blessed rain,
For budding grove and blossoming lane,
For the sweet silence of the plain —
For bounty springing from the sod,
For every step by beauty trod,
For each dear gift of joy, thank God!

PWBPeeps is a group that posts a daily diary and nightly open thread for animal lovers. We share photos, seek & give advice about pet health and behavior issues, support each other in times of sadness and stress, celebrate together when times are good, and on most days have an inordinate amount of fun.
You are welcome to join us!
Here are few not-too-onerous PWB rules
- Do not “Troll” the Pootie Peeps Diaries. If you don’t like animal diaries, there’s no need to tell us about it. Just go find some other diary more to your liking.
- Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
- If you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
- There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated.
- If you’re not sure about an issue...please ask. Someone is always glad to help.
This is an open thread.
