Busy, Busy, Busy!

After gallantly volunteering to share his room with his newly arrived nephew, David has decided Anthony cannot, however, store his toys in there.  I guess generosity has its limits.  Therefore, at the moment, my living room looks like I am opening a daycare center, which isn’t all together a bad thing.  I have missed the bright and fun little boy toys.  These days all my twin tweens want to play is “World of Warcraft,” which is neither bright nor fun for me.  By the way, when I asked young David where we could store the toys, he said outdoors under a tarp.  Hmmm, I don’t think so. 

I have had a busy non-posting-to-the-blog weekend.  Saturday was spent trying unsuccessfully to finish incomplete projects before my time is no longer my own and Sunday was taken up by an all day pet adoption clinic at the

.  Booth after booth of rescue groups filled a very large outdoor park, some highlighting a particular breed or animal and others, like ours, just trying to get some of these pets to good “forever” homes.  I walked “Leo,” the handsome male weimeraner, around and around, trying with no luck to churn up some interest in him.  He’s a very good boy so I cannot understand why he has not been adopted.  While we were making the rounds, we did find a queue of animals and their owners waiting to be blessed by the monks so we joined the line.  Leo is now a very blessed dog and has strong prayers to aid him in finding a new home.  The experience made me feel all warm inside and a little blessed myself. 

Across from our booth was the Giant Schnauzer Rescue.  I have always wanted a Giant Schnauzer so it took all I had and a little practical realization not to bring one home with me.  Same with the Great Pyrenees.  I love a big huggable dog and would have more if I had the money and the time.

Today, instead of huge canines, I happily get to play with the incredibly cute young Anthony who greeted me with a big “Hi!” and a huge grin.  I’m in mad love with the young champion.  Later and every afternoon this week, we head with eight dogs in tow (I have help lined up) to the Tellington Touch (T-Touch) Seminar to cure them of their various ill habits.  If they can give

I am a very busy but very happy girl right now.  Life is good.

I am with Giant Schnauzer Rescue and was in that booth across from you! I hope you came over and said hello to the giants. What an amazing suprise it was to find your blog. I get a google alert about giant schnauzers and yours was the first on the list tonight. I really like TTOUCH. Is the seminar around here?
