If you remember from last years post when I exclaimed that I finally thought about sports as being fun because my Daughter had joined her schools basketball team. Well they are back in action as the season just started. We had not one but two games today and both were extremely edge of the seat exciting. We won the first and lost the second but it was basket for basket all the way through the game. I don’t know what it is that makes it so exciting, perhaps it is that my Daughter is playing on the team or because [...] Read more »

I miss you Nana!
Today is my Grand Mothers (Nana) Birthday unfortunately she had passed on so I cannot call her and tell her how much I love her. She had passed on in 2005 and the time has not taken away my pain. She was not only a Grand Mother but a Mother and a friend. My Nana raised me while both of my parents held full time jobs. This is why it is so painful to me that I lost her. Nana, I know you are in a better place looking down on me and hope you and Gramps are with each [...] Read more »
Round Two for my Dad…
Well today is the day my Dad goes for surgery to help open up his arteries in his heart. He had to go to the hospital last week for tests and now he must return for the actual surgery. It has been very stressful the last couple of weeks with all this going on. So today he is being admitted to the hospital and has to stay over night. If everything goes well this will be the end of his procedure, otherwise we have more to worry about. For now let’s just all hope everything goes well and he can [...] Read more »
Dad, My prayers are with you…
My Dad has been diagnosed with SUDDEN DEATH SYNDROME which means he could simply be walking up to get the mail and drop dead. Today he will undergo a catherization and possible heart biopsy. Then he will have to go back and have a defibrillator implanted in his chest to keep him alive in case his heart stops beating… “Dad, My prayers are with you today and I am sure you will make it through without a hitch. There are many people thinking of you and praying for you as well. You have been a strong man all your life [...] Read more »

I know I am going to heaven… Are you?
As most of you already know by my post here and my other websites here and here I am an animal lover. I am most at home with Dogs and Cats but I am always open to helping out any animal big or small. What does this have to do with going to heaven? Well I think if you take care of Gods creatures there will be a place for you when it is your time. I also received the following in an email today and thought it was very appropriate for me to post it here… A man and [...] Read more »
What is wrong with people?!?!
What kind of society do we live in? How can someone tie a dog to a tree, douse it with gasoline and then light it on fire? I was so disgusted after hearing about this story that I had to post something. http://www.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/ny-lidog0718,0,1023421.story After a very brave fight Maximus, the pit bull mix has died! There is now a reward available for the arrest of the person(s) involved. Maximus can now rest in peace and be without pain… My thoughts are with him. Read more »

“Just a Dog”
From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or, “that’s a lot of money for just a dog.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog.” Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog.” Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog,” but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog,” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a [...] Read more »
