Pollyanna was one of our dogs when I was a child. Polly was part beagle and was pretty spoiled. My parents were concerned that she would not like having me around but decided that it was her job to guard me. Polly was a part of the family. She loved to go to Dairy Queen for an ice cream cone. She would do just about anything for my spaghetti or my mom’s lemon cake.
"Polly & Her People": my Granddaddy, I'm the squirmy little one, my Popi and Polly.
Polly is trying to wake me up. Yes, I am the little one sitting in my mom's lap. Polly thought it was her job to wake me up. I actually woke up in a good mood when she woke me up. Yep those that know me will find that hard to believe.Polly is in the background. My cousin & I are in the foreground. He is holding one of our other dogs Patrice. I was in a bad mood because I didn't get to wear my red Keds like he did.
I write about things I find interesting this include music, movies, cooking, religion, news and whatever else pops in my ADHD brain. As a my tagline says: "The musings of an ADHD mind."I'm never really sure what is will catch my interest.

Polly really was a guardian for you I see. Love you being pouty because of the lack of red shoes. Sounds just like me at that age. LOL

When you were an infant, Polly parked beneath your bassinette when your mom had to go outside to hang out clothes.
Later Polly would wait impatiently outside your bedroom door until it would be opened and permission would be granted for her to awaken you.
Polly learned to spell:
GO and LEASH. She never learned to spell STRING.
