Faster than a speeding dog!


I went out to run with Champ (our 80lb yellow lab) for the first time on his leash. He runs miles and miles with JaDee but never on a leash and he is always so good for JaDee. Whenever I even try to take him for a walk he is so awful! Running and pulling my arm, stopping to pee when I want to keep going...So I don't run with him. But with it staying dark longer in the mornings I can't run and feel safe. And with school starting my day has to start earlier as of tomorrow. So today Champ got to come with me on a leash and he did great! I thought it was the dog, but it really might be me. See I can finally run at Champ's pace. I have been getting faster ant my 3 mile loop. In fact Champ didn't pull and stayed right next to me for a lot of the run. Therefore, I have caught up to my dog. Whoo-hoo!

Way to go! I don't think I could even run a mile at any pace. By the way, I love your dog!

A little quote or two...

“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” -Washington Irving

soul," --Nicole Moncur 2008

"Reading can be dangerous." --Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale


BOOK HOUSE from the paper of my Grandfather Sidney W. Campbell

I always think the cover of a book is like a door Which opens into someone's house where I've not been
before. A pirate or a fairy queen may lift the latch for me. I always wonder when I knock, what welcome there will be. And when I find a house that's dull, I do not often stay But when I find one full of friends, I'm apt to spend the day. I never know what sort of folks will be within you see. And that's why reading always is so interesting to me. ~~Annie Fellows Johnston
