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.

NOTICE

I have decided to take on the awesome task of writing a little book
about Dakota. It is consuming more time than I realized so I am going to
put my two blogs on hold for a while until I am better organized and can
be underway. I shall return for sure but most have given up on me. I
will post pictures of Dakota from time to time. Thanks for all of your
interest...I look forward to getting back to blogging in a few weeks.

Dakota is doing remarkably well. He's made tremendous progress with his storm fear and I am able to pretty much let him be during storms. I don't believe that he can be left alone yet, but he's a totally different dog from two years ago. His toughest time is during the middle of the night if he wakes up to lightening. But he's improved and I think will eventually settle down then too.
