Learning to Blog
Uh-oh. It happened.
Its been a week since my last blog.
Typical, huh?
Get your blog up, go gung-ho for a week or so and then it just becomes 'another thing to do' in a busy day.
Same thing happened with my Facebook page.
I spent two hours on it one Saturday and just kind of go back once-in-a-while.
Some people apparently live every moment online.
Not me.
In fact, if I was thinking ahead a bit this weekend (big if) I would have taken pictures of two of my girls and I at the Sunrise Enterprises auction to post on this blog.
But then, it would have left photographic evidence that my 13 year old was hanging out with a bunch of people trying to figure out how much they would spend on a pallet of leftover John Deere tractor cowlings.
Not her kind of scene.
I did snag a decent desk for said daughter for $5.
I ran into John Sowell, who was excited about buying Gordon Smith's (alleged) credenza from the Capitol building for like 20 bucks.
Well, I'm sure my daughter's desk was once inhabited by a Norm Gershon staffer.
Over the weekend I also was happy to know that my dog, Dottie has found a safe, new home.
She was getting a little anxious at our house. Five people and two other smaller dogs in a 1400 square foot house is a lot of bodies and not a lot of room.
With my increasing schedule and less time to get her out, we came to the decision to find her a new home.
My family said goodbye to her a couple of weeks ago and thanks to a very gracious friend with room at his place, we were able to let her hang out at a wide open ranch until a new home could be found.
Thats where Cheryl Donahoo and the Douglas County Humane Society comes in.
I've gotten to know Cheryl over the years through interviews on the radio about all the great stuff the Humane Society does.
I called her to ask her to put feelers out for a new home for my dog and within a couple of days, we found two or three people who wanted her. Wow!
Dottie is in good hands at a house thats better than what she had here.
She was a Hall of Fame dog for us, but deserved better and thanks to Cheryl and the Humane Society I know Dottie actually is in a better place!
I wish more people would use services like those offered by Cheryl and her friends instead of turning dogs loose or putting them down.
