IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE GREATNESS OF A NATION AND THE MORAL PROGRESS CAN ONLY BE JUDGED BY THE BEHAVIOR OF
Y O U .... and ..... ME!
NO MATTER HOW LITTLE MONEY AND HOW FEW POSSESSIONS WE OWN, WE ARE STILL RICH IN CHARACTER.
USE WHAT TALENTS YOU POSSESS ...
IF YOU ARE ALONE, AFRAID AND UNHAPPY, GO TO THE PARK AND LISTEN TO NATURE SPEAK ... A SONG OF JOY ... NEVER STALE ... NEVER NEGATIVE ... NEVER HOPELESS ...
John Muir once said, "ANY GLIMPSE INTO THE LIFE OF AN ANIMAL QUICKENS OUR OWN AND MAKES IT SO MUCH THE LARGER AND BETTER IN EVERY WAY."
Mark Twain wisely stated, "THE FACT THAT MAN KNOWS RIGHT FROM WRONG PROVES HIS INTELLECTUAL SUPERIORITY TO OTHER CREATURES; BUT THE FACT THAT HE CAN DO WRONG PROVES HIS MORAL INFERIORITY TO ANY CREATURE THAT CANNOT."
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT POSSESSIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE IS YOUR PET, DOG AND CAT. Don't push them out of your life when 'times are tough'.
Our pets are our link to peace ... they know no evil or jealousy or discontent ... and they know how to do nothing and never be bored ... that, my friend, is peace!
HONOR THOSE WHO HAVE DEFENDED THIS COUNTRY ... PROTECTING OUR F-R-E-E-D-O-M-S
I MAY BE SILVER HAIRED
AND AT THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM ...BUT ONE THING FOR SURE,
I AM GRATEFUL FOR AMERICA ..and thank God each day for her many blessingsto our family!

... I am a VERY special breed ...
I AM A LABRADOR Puppy ...
Males and Females just can't get enough of me because I ooze love.
I AM ALSO HUMBLE !!!!!!!If you are looking for a 'drip-dry' companion, well I am the one. I can handle any rough and tumble family you give me. And no matter how you may insult me, it will roll off my back ... BECAUSE I AM NOT EASILY OFFENDED.
However, I do have a teeny, tiny problem ....I JUST 'L-O-V-E' TO EAT ... and eat ... and eat ... and eat
Aw c'mon guys give a LABRADOR a break ...
We are just good 'connisseurs' of GOOD food, that's all!!!!
Well, not to get sidetracked with my story .... I am living in Massachusetts with the absolutely best family ever .... and as a new puppy, who could ask for more. In my future, I can become a good guide dog or therapy dog ... and a retriever. My new owner keeps telling me that it is so rewarding for puppies to go to a good home ... and then she starts to tear up ... gee, I don't know what to do but nuzzle my head on her leg
and give her some 'dog' kisses.
I have a wonderful family to play with and for the holidays, there were 16 people in the house ... AND I DIDN'T FREAK OUT ONCE.
My owner was so proud of me.
But the best thing that happened was this ....
pull up your chair .... get a box of Kleenex .... and listen very closely.
There was a recently adopted girl from the Ukraine, adopted by my owner's brother and sister-in-law. She had only been here three weeks ... still shy, crying and adjusting to her new family. Every one tried to help ... but with no avail.
Then Mr. Lovable enters the picture, that's me, and evaluated the situation ... hm-m-m-m ...
maybe a little nuzzle or two could work a miracle ... and it did.
My new found friend was with me all day with a smile that could not be turned off.
PORTER, that's me, TOTALLY TRANSFORMED HER AND WAS THE ICEBREAKER THAT SHE NEEDED.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A LABRADOR!!!The Silver Haired Lady is signing off ...
remember to choose your companion dog carefully
they bring so much in to your life!Tuesday April 14, 2009 - 02:13pm (EDT) Permanent Link | 1 Comment - What do you know .....

Remember to give thanks for your freedoms
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
I am renewing my knowledge of the difficulties and hardships that our Founders endured to establish the United States of America. I encourage others to do the same ... it will truly open your eyes as to the greatness of this society and the importance of protecting our freedoms in this nation. We should not take our freedoms for granted
or be so willing to give them away.
Remember, ONCE FREEDOMS ARE LOST THEY ARE much HARDER TO GET BACK!

Hello, I am Lauren .... a very special 2-1/2 yr. old with her special Beagle ...(photo courtesy of Tom Wollf)UKC BIS GrCh CgrCh UWPCHX UWPO NKCWP3 APA WP3Am Ch Strongbow Mama's Boy CGC 15" AKA AjaxWHO SAID BEAGLES ARE JUST FOR BOYS?
WELL, LET'S HEAR ABOUT 'A GIRL AND HER BEAGLE' .... Lauren is a mere 2-1/2 yr. old. With just one week into her potty training, she entered the show ring in her big girl panties with pride and confidence.
This was her very 1st show ... and AJAX was in rare form, as is easily shown by his performance.
As you can see there is only one lead and one handler .... Lauren did it all herself.
Well, almost ....
when they got to the table, Lauren said "table Ajax" and he put his front feet up on the table ... waiting for a little help from Laurie Davis to lift him.
Then she put Lauren on the table so that she could hold Ajax's tail and lead while Laurie held Ajax's head and Lauren ...
When the judge asked to see his teeth, Lauren without hesitation lifted his flats and showed his teeth.
When they returned from their final go around the judge asked "show me how cut your Beagle is" and Lauren raised her arms as high and as wide as she could, and said "this much". It was indeed a priceless and very proud moment.
AJAX WEARS MANY DIFFERENT HATS, AS HE IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE WORLDS STRONGEST BEAGLE, He is an AKC CHAMP as well as a UKC GR Champ. Not to mention a MBIS winner. He has also helped many Jr. handlers get where they are today. He can now add "pee wee's" to his list of accomplishments.
AJAX IS OWNED BY HAL DAVIS WITH
STRONGBOW BEAGLES
Laurie Davis would like to announce his latest litter of 3 girls and 1 boy whelped on 3/21/09 and can be viewed at:
LAURIE DAVIS IS A PROUD SUPPORTER OF PURINA PRO PLAN Kudos to Lauren and AJAX The Silver Haired Lady says America gives many opportunities to young and old.
BE THE VERY BEST THAT YOU CAN ...
each of us has SOMETHING to give
and talents to share with others!
