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.

DAKOTA SPEAKS

Hi Folks,

Dakota here! My forever mom had another computer crash! Yup, two in less than a month. But there is good news. She now has a much needed new computer AND even a new monitor. There has been a lot of comotion around here, many, many boxes, cables, and a lot of other stuff I don't understand. She says she is still not up and running but my forever dad has her limping along and as soon as he gets some software she will be able to run like she used to. I don't understand any of this stuff. Dogs don't do computers.

I pretty much just stay on one of my beds or in a corner out of the way. The good news is we had some snow here. Boy was that fun. I had a a chance to roll in it and made tracks around the yard. I even brought my mom frozen green tomatoes. She praised me and gave me a treat. I've had to chase a couple of rabbits out of the yard too. I love winter..it's my favorite time of year.

I had a visitor yesterday. Boy was it fun. He was a little baby..they said he was 9 months old but he sure could get wround. We played on the rug and I shared my toys with him. His favorite was my polar bear rug. He really liked dragging it round and laying on it. I sure hope he comes back to visit again. I liked him better than the puppy and big dogs that come to visit.

I don't have much to say but I just wanted you to know that my mom will be back online here this week and hopefully she'll get back to writing about all sorts of things for you to enjoy. Please come back in a few days. We'll be here for sure.

Dakota over and out.
