I’ve always liked Al Franken

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I never got to see this video when it was first aired on television, but I’m seeing it now on the Internet! This is the video that has been on the Television news lately. I think it’s a riot, but it does not do anything to lower my opinion of his ability to be in politics! I’ve always liked Al Franken, I think he is a very smart, and very funny man. But it is obvious to me that he is very concerned about the state of world and I think he will do a good job in the Senate. I hope that they certify him soon so he can get in there and start working!

Pets are family members

Our keeshond Dutch is getting older now, and I can see his muzzle graying.  He slows down quicker when we go for a long walk together, or when we play fetch. Boy does that dog love to play fetch! He doesn’t care if it’s a stick or a ball or a frisbee, he loves to play fetch!  And he loves children, too. He will let them pet him, and tug on his fur and he’ll just lie there and take it. If it gets too bad he’ll get up and go hide under a bed somewhere. He’s never bit a soul in his life. But he’s a magnificent “watch dog” he will bark and growl at strangers until I tell him it’s ok! And the strangers ARE afraid of him because he looks so much like a wolf! They don’t know how gentle he really is, and that’s OK with me!

Lately I’ve been spending some time reading about health issues realted to his aging process.  I want to make sure to keep him in the best possible health and make sure he lives a good long time!  I’ve found a site called Petwave that has a lot of informative articles about Pet Health that I plan to spend a lot more time reading!

Our keeshond Dutch

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I love our keeshond Dutch. He’s been with us since he was a two month old puppy. We bought him from a breeder that showed keeshonden in another state and had to drive for four hours one way to go get him! We had bought a crate with us to make sure he stayed safe for the drive home. Well, we fell in love with him immediately, and he with us. He has been a good, faithful gentle dog. He is a well trained dog, we trained him really early. I love to see him do his little tricks like catching a frisbee and rolling over.
