Happy New Year!!

2010 is coming to a close and 2011 is just hours away. The best thing that happened this year, dog-wise, was seeing Watson (Harley) at the Chapel Hills Mall. It was so nice to see him happy and obedient. He's a great demonstration dog for Sit Means Sit. Everyone loves him. He's so friendly with all the people who stop by to see the demonstrations.

The big question for me always is will there be a dog in my future. I do want one again some day if I can find the right dog but I'm in no hurry to cross that bridge. I know the right dog will find me one day. Until then I'll just remember the dogs I've had and be thankful that they were a part of my life. They all added something positive to my life (and something negative but now is not the time for that). I have special memories of all of them - Skooter, Moped, Huxley, Blitz and Harley (Watson). I love looking at pictures and videos of them all playing and enjoying their time with us.

My wish for 2011 is that all the animals out there who do not have home or the love they need would find the place where they belong, where they will be loved and treasured. There are so many homeless animals out there. Consider volunteering at an animal shelter or rescue or donate to one. They can always use the money. Check too to see if they need supplies that you might have on hand. Anything to help out those poor animals. If you are in a position to adopt an animal please make sure you've thought it out. I'm guilty of adopting without putting enough thought into it and it was horrible when I had to give them up. I know they all are in great homes and loved so I don't feel bad about that, just that I didn't make the best choice in adopting them.

Anyway it's going to be a great 2011 whatever comes my way and I wish you all a safe, happy and prosperous New Year!
