Raise a Puppy Change A Life... This was the scene outside the event facility on Team Graduation day for the North Central Region of Canine Companions for Independence.

Isn't this beautiful? I took this photo last week and just now found it on my phone. Had to share. We have a lot of things going on so I thought I'd post. These posts always help to sort out the to do list. First up today is try and get my shower base clean.… Continue reading Red Sky at Night

This is from last Friday, we left Jamba and Holly alone while we went out to eat, something we've done several times before without nearly an issue.

Early Sunday Morning – Photography Practice
I have to admit that I have been a slacker with my photography, which sometimes isn't the best thing when it comes to maintaining a blog! I like to keep things simple you know?
