Juz got back from a triptiphane overdose with a mashed potato and dressing chaser. I'm feeling kinda woozy but very good. When that happens...the good things like the best cream...juz seem to rise to the top. It's been over 20 years since we got into dogs...but during that time we have met so many wonderful people of like minds. I'm thankful for that. We've had a fair number of dogs that made us proud...I'm thankful for that. I'm doubly blessed as I have a wife who is interested in the same avocation that I am...I'm really thankful for that. We sat around the table earlier eating turkey and sipping a nice Chardonnay as we spoke to our blessings. It's good to hear the spoken words as it seems to codify our inner feelings with an additional !. At least it does for me. Thanks to all who make this such a fun thing. Thanks to our dogs that give you pleasure even when they don't win all of da time. Thanks to the same dogs that give unconditional love unconditionally even if they never enter a ring of any kind. I would be less a person if not for them. I am blessed and juz wanted to share that with ya all on "Da List". I can only hope you all feel the same. Truly thankful in Bay Point...
