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.

SAMANTHA'S GOLDEN COMET



SAMANTHA'S GOLDEN COMET

You've come of age
A glorious, golden three!
Behold this lovely young lady of 21
Just like a bright, shiny penny!
We've shared so much in such a short time
A myriad of tears and laughter.
What a team we are in the obedience ring
What fun we have tracking.
You've taught me so much
About life - patience - forgiveness.
What monumental heights we've achieved together
One unbelievable new frontier after another!
How have I managed nearly four decades without you?
I love you, Samantha
My Golden Girl!
May your golden glow last forever!
