What a Dog Teaches a Boy

"A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, 
and to turn around three times before lying down."

    Oh Karen,
    When I opened your blog to see what you were all about I fell in love-- totally. I love that quote and the photo you showed and your dogs are so precious. I actually didn't know what a Gordan Setter was but I do now...they are adorable!
    well, great minds think alike, don't they? (regarding Theresa's Blue Bonnet comment :) Thanks for hanging out at my place and I'm also glad I found a new place to hide out! :)
    what did you think of the Author's site? I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I'd write a book so I still have to pinch myself :)

    Thank you Tracy! That's my grandson, Kaleb, in the pic with our last litter of puppies. A lot of people don't know what Gordons are so the blog really helps. They are incredible bird hunters and wonderful family dogs. Personalities are similar between Goldens and Gordons.
    I thought your Author site was very nice, bright, and informative. I think a few more pics of Hurricane would be nice. He's so handsome! I'm going on vacation in about 3 weeks. Would it be possible to purchase an autographed copy and get it before April 26? I'd love to have for my vacation, just tell me how to make it happen.

    Thank you Teresa!(: That's my grandson and he's a great kid. Hey, I wonder if the same could be said about goats? lol
