Inactive Blog

Well,

I just really have not ever had the time to use the blog. They say it is/was the most important new tool for website promotion. Of course, they say that about a few dozen other webtools also. I'd rather have some time for my dogs.

Happy Holidays

Well, Thanksgiving is past and we now look forward to Christmas. I never dread it. The stress and the dread is side efforts of our commercialism and human nature. I just accept it and go along, enjoying the real reason for the season. I figure the birth of Jesus is the second most important event in all of history, with his crucifixion being the first. When the pace of the season and living up to all the hype gets to me, I stop and remember why I am so thankful for the day. To think we only take a month to celebrate such a wonderful event.

The pups got turkey and the raw giblets for dinner. Be sure when indulging you pups you remember that not all human food is good for them. The turkey skin is full of fat that could set off a painful if not deadly pancreatic attack. Onions and grapes and Macadamia nuts are a nono. Too much garlic, although used extensively for dog food flavoring is also dangerous. If your family doesn't eat the drumsticks (yes some of us don't) or the wings, cut them off your bird before you cook it and give it to the babies raw. Remember that raw poultry bones will not hurt your puppers but never let them have large or small cooked ones as they can splinter in either the throat or intestines. That is one holiday stress it would be mighty hard to get over.

Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas,
Deena

My Second Blog Post

Grumpa's Shepherds

My whole second web blog post. Well this could become a habit.

Trying to move items back into my home office after Hurricane Ivan. We're a little bit behind in cleaning up our own stuff. With some people having so much damage, and us so little, my husband has been loaning his help out to others. Poor Pistol has been out of sync. She normally spends most of the evenings in the office with me and since we haven't been using it, she has had more time to irritate the other dogs.

Wins may go to a show in Nov. I wanted to take him to the Mobile show. I can travel to it daily. But his handler isn't going to Mobile. She is going to Ocala. But that means traveling down friday night, two nights in a motel. Loading the van, unloading at the hotel, unloading at the show, and than all three in reverse. Day trips are most definitely easier. We've never showed in Ocala (or Mobile). I usually go to Orlando every year and we may go in Dec just for tradition.

My Very First Blog Post

Welcome to the WebBlog for Grumpa's Shepherds. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet, but here it is. Maybe I can add the webcam. Or keep everyone up with Pistol's misbehavior.
