Random Thoughts...and Things

Some of you know me....or the edge of me at any rate. Years ago a friend said my dogs were my "social barrier".....maybe. They are also my social tie in as much as I want it. I have met some amazing people because of my dogs. (Fondly called "the dog people" by my daughter.) Compassionate, competitive, and many things all at once.....but definitely a group of people I could not have survived without. They made mw a better handler, a better owner and a better person..... so to all my dog people friends.....Thank you! Whatever part you played in my life - large or small - it was relevant. It taught me, it helped me experience success and failure, and made me keep going when I just didn't think I could....

I spent 5 years doing hard core rescue. It was not something I planned...it just happened....big and fast. I have never experienced the depth of raw emotions as I did in those years - from good to bad, to unbearable....my nerves and my sanity were stretched to the very edge. I felt deeply, I learned quickly, and I gained a family in the people that journeyed with me. I also lost family in that journey, and lost much of my faith in people. So sometimes I think.....and sometimes I'll share.....here.....
