D is for Dolly

D is always for Dolly! You may or may not believe in coincidences. Either way, I have some big news regarding Dolly! After six years of guiding me, Dolly is ready to retire. This is a fresh decision on my part, and I still fell very emotional about it so no going on and on. The retirement process has begun, and I'll keep you up to date.

C is for Coming Back Around

We'll skip the litany of excuses for not staying up to date!

Allow me to introduce a new friend!

B is for Banks meets Banks

Have you ever wondered how guide dogs get their names? The person that sponsors a guide dog has the privilege of naming him or her. My mother sponsored the dog you see here and named him Banks in honor of my son, Banks. Yesterday we had the wonderful opportunity to meet Banks. His puppy raisers are traveling from Florida to Ohio and were kind enough to stop here in North Carolina so we could all get together. As you can see, it was a happy time for all!

Z is for Zip

So my husband and boys went to Carolina Ziplines this weekend with the Boy Scouts, and this is what they brought home! The puppy, Zip, was apparently living off of Boy Scout snacks and leftovers, drinking out of a creek and sleeping up against the boys' tents. We gave him a bath, pulled over 20 ticks off of him and took him to the Vet on Monday. He's 13 weeks old and in fairly good shape. Once again I have proven to be just this side of insane! Dolly loves him, Emmy follows him around growling at him and Sparky runs from him!?! Bear, our cat, stays on high ground, and I don't think the salamander has even noticed him! Here's to Z is for Zip, and we live in a Zoo...
