I am a senior citizen who enjoys writing and other forms of communication. I enjoy designing cards for all occasions. Dogs have always been a major part of my life. I have published my own dog magazine, written dog columns for a local newspaper's web site and major TV station web site, and conducted informational classes about dogs through the library system for over 25 years. I write poems about each one of my dogs. My biggest achievement was becoming a member of Mensa. Music makes me happy. I love to dance. Skating was my life when I was young. Adopting a rescue dog has given me a new start in life. He has taught me so much.

MY TWO BEST FRIENDS

You are aging so gracefully.
The years are melting too swiftly into a collage of
golden memories, warm thoughts, and special feelings.

No soliloquy of profound superlatives can express
our mutual trust and understanding.
Only St. Francis would comprehend our communications.

Your serenity eases life's rough spots
as a bridge over troubled waters,
and enhances the precious moments
for savoring through the years.

Samantha, ours is a very special world in the Cosmos of time.

A five year old with the zest for life
like crystal clear, rushing water
cascading down a mountain side in Spring.

No mid-life crisis for this gal!

Your expressions of joy and delight
are so overwhelming.
incredibly anxious to please
with never ending appreciation and enormous pride.
To you, nothing is impossible.

Each day starts with an eager sense that life is always at its best.

Miss Independence!

You are so openly loving and charming, Candi.

Together you two have formed a very special bond
bringing an abundance of happiness to young and old alike.

You've charmed even the most querulous and brought new meaning
to man's most faithful companion.

My ambassadors to peace and gentleness
for those who stop, listen, and learn.
There will never be another threesome quite like us!
