A New Month, A Few Changes
Hello dear friends – it’s hard to believe but September is here! We are now in the final quarter of the year. In the 70s, Steve Miller made bank singing “time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future.” Are you feeling the squeeze?
This season is particularly challenging and I’d like to practice a little self-care as we kick off the quarter. This Friendship Friday party will remain open for the next several weeks. Please continue to come by each week as you normally do, share your posts, and grow your community by visiting the posts that others are sharing.
Our Inspire Me Monday party will continue to post on a weekly basis during September. If you’d like to receive notification when our parties go live, be sure to join our Create With Joy e-mail subscription list.
Featured Friends Of The Week
To kick off September, we’d like to celebrate a few of “man’s best friends” this month! Yes, the rumors are true – someone has let the dogs out and canines are taking over!
Are there any Sheltie lovers in the house? If so, you’ll enjoy meeting Annie – a 5-year old Sheltie who took extra-good care of Dad by being his office companion during the dark days of Covid – and the rest of the crew at Sheltie Times! Sheltie Times is a blog dedicated to sharing the stories of Bailey, Katy and Annie, their faithful companies through thick and thin, and issues specifically related to this magnificent breed. If you love dogs in general and Shelties in particular, you’ll find 10 years’ worth of stories and photos to bless your days!
Perhaps you’re a Labrador lover. If so, get ready to fill your heart with joy as Annie at Zoolatry celebrates the close of the dog days of summer with a joy-filled introduction to her grand dog, Dougie Dog! This loveable, friendly chocolate lab loves to romp and roll with his family… play ball… frolic with the deer, squirrels and rabbits… and dive off the deck! If you love dogs who ensure there’s never a dull moment in your life – think of Dougie Dog!
Are you engaged and trying to plan your perfect wedding? Do you need help trying to find a place for your best friend in the ceremony? No, we’re not talking about the Best Man or the Maid of Honor – we’re talking about your dog! That’s where Qanda at K’Mich Weddings Soiree Blog comes in. She provides great tips for including dogs in your wedding. Be sure to check them out so that you can plan an event that everyone remembers!
Making new friends and deepening existing relationships is a joy. Be sure to visit our Featured blogs this week, explore the blogs, leave them some comment love, and congratulate them for being our Friend Of The Week at Friendship Friday at Create With Joy!

How wonderful to find your blog over at Claire Justine’s and I look forward to checking out the dog blogs in this post
I’ve recently come back to blogging after several years break so finding my way around again is exciting as sadly a lot of blogs I used to follow aren’t posting now
