About Me

Name:
Location: Midwest, United States

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.

CANDIFECTION

Darling Candi -

I see in you the harmonius chorus of endearing qualities
we've cherished in each of your predecessors.
Truly a balance of symphonic modulation that
announced itself on that glorious day in May.

You are a diapson of -
The dedicated protective loyalty of Rex
The individualistic sensitive femininity of Princess
The playful sense of humor and fun that was Dukie
And you absorbed the outpouring of happiness, love, and gentleness
from your special year with Astro.

All culminating in an enriched rhapsody entitled
"Concerto Fantasia"
My madrigal to you on your second birthday.
