I went out to "my rock" the other day in the wilderness and sat down and thought about things. I realized that I have learned different important things from each dog I've had.

I was afraid of dogs from being attacked twice as a child and when I met my husband, he had a dog. Her name was Bridget.

Bridget taught me about the unconditional love a dog gives and not to be afraid of these gentle souls.
From Brandi, (alpha female) I learned self confidence, independance.
From Baxter, (my babysitter who took care of scared strays), I learned love and nurturing, to put others before myself.
From Wolfie, who was abused and can be shy at times, I learned not to automatically trust everyone (which I usually do) and to be cautious.

All important lessons, thanks to the angels God has sent me to guide me through life. I am so lucky.

From GSD Max, I learned confidence, self-assuredness, cheerfulness, and the importance of getting even without getting in trouble.
From shy greyhound Willow, I learned the importance of trust, patience, friendship and a soft bed.
From alpha greyhound Dot, I learned the value of independence, getting the upper paw, and how to get attention by being a Drama Queen (or King).
From GSD Dash, I learned watchfulness, faith, the desire to please and the importance of a good belly rub.
From greyhound Allan, I learned the importance of laughter, a good prank and loving life (I still miss the old clown)
And finally, from sweet greyhound Lily, I learned the importance of a dog head on your lap.

Let me check with a moderator and see if it is okay to put a Christmas story on the forum. I got a notice one time that the stories were off subject so I haven't put anymore on.

Wow, that's pretty darn sad when you can't even mention Christmas here. I thought that was reserved for our government. Now I am totally loosing heart in basic foundation of who we are as a people.

I just saw a drop dead gorgeous young female German Shepherd at the City dog pound that needs a home right away! I have put a hold on her so she won't be put down and I will have her moved Monday to the Vet's office for a check up then I need to find a forever home for her, anyone interested???

I won't be able to take picture until Monday, let me know...

It's not that you can't mention Christmas on the forum, it just has to be in the correct thread....
