The Samus Chronicles - I'm home!

She came back! I'm so happy but I'm still a bit shy. And that microchip hurt like the dickens! The ride to my new home was long but I was comfortable in a carrier. There's a huge backyard for me to play in. My new family has 3 humans. I think I know which one Mom is. Loud noises and sudden moves frighten me. I was without a home for quite some time.

After I explored inside a bit, I was taken for a walk outside. Then I had a bath. Mom said I was really smelly. I dried off and went to sleep with Mom & Dad.

Cheese!

Chillaxin'

Oh my name? Samus is a bad-ass female video game character. People thought she was a boy until she took off her armor.

I'm getting to know one of my pack members

That bath did wonders. Now I'm tired

I was adopted from the Baltimore County Animal Shelter. On 5/26, a few people came to look at me including Mom. When she left my fence to go talk to my sister 2 pens down, I called for her to come back. Two days later, I went to the vet. Running the streets caused me to have a slight infection but I'm all better now. The vet said I'm about 4 yrs old. Well a lady never tells her true age, right?! Dad keeps calling me a cockapoo. Isn't that some kind of bird? My fur coat is so curly it must be poodle though. No matter, I know  Mom loves me.

Pawfully yours,
Samus

I was gonna post about my new dog but she won't let me :-)

Pagan Blog Prompt - Nature Escapes

I really like going to the shore (Ocean City). In the summertime, it brings all 4 elements together. On my visit, some sand dollars came home with me. They will be going on my altar.

I have an okay backyard that's nice to sit in when the weather is nice. Although I live in a townhouse, I'm fortunate enough to have my backyard facing a common grassy area and not a parking lot or other backyards. There are 3 willow trees right outside my back fence.

Other than the above, I'm really not an outdoorsy type.

Actor's Moon

On the Actor's Moon, we meditate on what we give up for the approval and applause of other people, including people we don't even know...Consider the ways you act in public that aren't really you an what purpose they serve. Go out doing something different for a change. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera.

Little Sister's Moon

Isis' Day

Waxing crescent in sidereal Gemini

On the Little Sister's Moon we examine our communication patterns as well as our nonverbal signals that are out-and-out advertising, messages we send in order to seem better (or in some cases, worse) that we really are. How do we manipulate people's perceptions of us? If you have trouble with this, think about your behavior on a first date or a job interview. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera.

On my way home from Denmark. It was good seeing my girl Jackie. We didn't do much sight-seeing but we have some girl talk and that was the most important thing. I'll be hosting her when she comes here in October.

Dryad's Moon - Solar Eclipse

Geb's Day

New Moon in sidereal Taurus
Annular solar eclipse

During the Dryad Moon we struggle with our relationship to nature, and especially the Green World...It may also lead to an exploration of our relationship to "inanimate" objects of all kinds, as the Dryad's Moon is a time when animism creeps into our lives around the edges. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera.

I'm watching the annular solar eclipse online since I'm here in Denmark. An amateur astronomer was nice enough to broadcast live from near Area 51 in Nevada. I was watching a feed from Japan but it was cloudy. So I actually got to see the eclipse twice :)

I never was a nature buff; I'm more into astronomy and science. Yes, I do think of the Moon as female. Trying to get use to listening to the Universe.

Mystic's Moon

Ra's Day

Waxing crescent in sidereal Pisces

On the Mystic's Moon, we pray or meditate or go to a moving religious ritual or find some other way to experience All That Is. If this is something that is not part of your life, skip this Moon. - Moon Phase Astrology by Raven Kaldera.
