Younger Years
I never thought in a million years that pulling a straightener down thru an 8-year-old Childs hair would give me the emotional reaction that I had that day. As I continued to straighten her hair, I found myself on the verge of crying and laughing simultaneously. If you are wondering the child is my daughter, Natalie. Shes blind to the emotional roller coaster ride I'm currently on right behind her, well as a mother I really hope she is. Poor thing has been thru too much already in the 8 years she's been on earth and it's so hard for me to say but it is my fault for all of it.

THE BOY WITH THE SOULFUL EYES
I met Roscoe in 2006 when I was volunteering at Colorado Saint Bernard Rescue. The owner of the rescue asked each of us volunteers to take a dog home for the weekend so she could attend a dog conference in Las Vegas. I was assigned to Roscoe. When I went to pick him up, I learned all about his tragic past.

Silly Lilly the lovely Lab
For a long, long time I was certain that I would never have a dog to call my own. I grew up around dogs and loved dogs, but I didn't get my very own dog until I was in 3rd grade at the age of 9. I had loved my mother's dogs - Oggie and Butchie, but it was Leo the Chow Chow that I fell in love with because he was MY dog. I was responsible for him. A 9-year-old girl can love a pet with all her heart, but that doesn't mean she has any control over the pet's fate or her own. After I had learned that lesson nursing my broken 10-year-old heart for not having Leo anymore, I was certain that I would never have my own dog again --- that I would never give my heart like that again to another dog. I had cats instead. Cats didn't break my heart. They were too independent for such folly.

Cosmic Connections
I bought a beautiful, chocolate Standard Poodle pup for my teenage daughter that had recently moved in with me. She wanted a large dog and we lived in an apartment. I did some research and found that Standard Poodles were the good selection for a large dog in apartment living. My daughter moved out and Jenny, the Standard Poodle became mine.
