Happy Hump Day
Okay, this is a pitiful return to my Wednesday schedule. It's 11:45 pm and I'm scrambling to get the post up while it's still hump day. I have a good reason for being late (really) but it doesn't belong in a hump day funnies blog so I won't go into it.
Last week I gave you the "aw" picture of the poor basset hound trying to sleep on a couple flower pots. You seemed to like it, so today I'm going to share a few more pets trying to find or claim their special spots.
Like this poor guy...
Sorry, buddy. I think you need something a bit larger.
This guy has the same problem.
I give this one points for adaptibility.
Any golfers in the crowd?
Here's one for you.
One evening, after Jim and Jane had been married for a couple years and the honeymoon was waning, Jim was cleaning his golf shoes as Jane watched in silence.
After a while Jane said, "Honey, I've been thinking…you spend an awful lot of time golfing and I think it hurting our marriage. Maybe you should quit."
Jim looked at her with a stunned expression. “Wow. You just sounded exactly like my ex-wife."
"Ex-wife! I didn't know you were married before!"
"I wasn't."
End of discussion.
This proud boy just wants a pat of approval.
I think he deserves it, don't you?
That last one almost qualified as this week's "aw", until I found this one.
It didn't get my "aw" at first but when I took in the surroundings...
See what I mean? A slightly different "aw" but it counts.
And now I'm delighted to help my blog friend Crystal Collier reveal the cover of her upcoming release, SOULLESS. Isn't this a great cover?
Have
you met the Soulless and Passionate? In
the world of 1770 where supernatural beings mix with humanity, Alexia is playing
a deadly game.
SOULLESS, Book 2 in the Maiden of Time trilogy
Alexia
manipulated time to save the man of her dreams, and lost her best
friend to red-eyed wraiths. Still grieving, she struggles to reconcile
her loss with what was gained: her impending marriage. But when her
wedding is destroyed by the Soulless—who then steal the only protection
her people have—she’s forced to unleash her true power.
And risk losing everything.

Crystal also asked me to let you know Book 1 in this series, MOONLESS, will be on sale all this week. Check it out here.
Congratulations, Crystal.
Well, I didn't make it. It's after midnight so your hump day post this week is hump day plus one. I'll try to be on time next week.
Hope these belated funnies still help you make it to the weekend.

I can definitely sympathise with the last fella, so so tired right now ...
That first dog reminds me of my cat Hobbes - she was always getting into boxes way too small.
The dog in the guitar case is awesome, although not my guitar case please.
The last photo is definitely a winner. That's how I feel at the end (and sometimes beginning) of the day. As always, the others photos and funnies are priceless. Love Crystal's book cover.
Awww-some post. :)
Great cover for soulless!
I'm going to have to remember that ex-wife joke, lol.
Happy Hump Day!
Yay for Crystal - love the new cover!! :)
I feel just like that last little guy! Such a cutie though :)
The third dog down was LOL funny for me! Thanks for the therapy.
Cats aren't the only ones who will try to fit into anything they can.
The dog in the guitar case was priceless. I always toss money when I see musicians playing outdoors. But he'd probably get extra for the pooch. :)
Thinking of you, hon.
Oh, man...I've been tired like that before, only I'm sure I didn't look that cute :)
Love Crystal's newest cover!
PERFECT 'aw' moment.
Hi. In case you notice I'm even later answering comments and visiting everyone, please bear with me. We've got a family health issue going on and I'm a bit distracted. I really appreciate everyone for coming by.
Heather - Yup, I can relate.
Diane - I went with dog pictures for this post but I've got some great cat ones. They'll climb into anything.
Alex - Aw, you won't offer your case to a homeless pooch?
Mason - I think a lot of us feel that last one.
Linda G. - Glad you liked it. Er...them.
Mark - I take it you're a golfer.
Jemi - It is a great cover, isn't it?
Kaye - I'm just glad his owner didn't play a flute.
Maria - Yeah, he would make a great fundraising tool. (and thanks)
Carol - Hey, that's a trifecta! Thanks.
Ouch. Good thing I'm not married to a golfer. (It's also kinda nice that I'm not married at all, but that's another story).
That smiling dog makes me laugh. He looks very, very happy.
Have a fun weekend.
Yay! It's my cover! (And I had to giggle about the dog in the case. That was epic.)
Thank you so much!
Robyn - Actually I am married to a golfer but it works for us. While he plays golf, I have the house all to myself, nice and quiet for writing.
Crystal - My pleasure. I finally got to visit some blogs today and it was a delight to see your cover on so many.
Congrats to Crystal!
I love all the dog pics! So cute - especially the smiling dog who stayed in the yard. Yes, he deserves a pat. Have a lovely weekend! :)
Gorgeous cover! Congrats Crystal.
Yep, I can relate to the last one, lol. Hope you're re-energized soon!
There's more than one "awwww" picture in this crop. But I think the one with the dog lying atop the soldier tugged at my heartstrings the hardest.
Crystal's cover is gorgeous!
I hope you and your family are doing better now.
