Counting my blessings

There are several people in my family that have been laid off due to the economy. I'm counting my blessings because we are all healthy and have each other. This is a time when family is one of the most important things in life. My writing is on the back burner until the economy improves. Helping family and working have become my highest priority, so I may be slow in posting to my blog or marketing my writing. I have faith that things will improve.

My Dogs think they are royalty

Since the president decided to get a Portuguese Water Dog for his daughters, my two have decided they are royalty. This is a picture of them when they are told to "Leave It." That means they can't touch what ever it is no matter how good it smells. It's a very handy command.

Trevor is dancing and prancing more than ever. At first they were a little worried that daddy was going to the White House to train the new PWD, but I assured them he would never leave them.

Female PWD's are extremely difficult to train because they are so smart. They actually train their owners, and Tisha is a prime example. When we first got her I labled her the worst puppy I ever had. I never caught her sleeping. She wanted to play 24 hours a day.

Male PWD's are the ones you usually see in the water and agility trials. Trevor really wanted to compete, but living on a boat made it impossible. He makes up for it by jumping, leaping, and generally clowning on the docks. I think we should have named him goofy.
