People spreading the Salsa Love...

Look at me! I was captured here with one of my Salsa Classmates from Chicago, "Spreading the Salsa Love" January 27 at our monthly dance practice.


I'm thinking about trying out for the amateur team, though I'm not sure I'm qualified yet, being the beginner that I am. Anyhoo... I'm definitely catching the Salsa bug.

The rhythm is gonna get you.

Sienna, Sit!

So, (wipes tear from eye) I'm so proud. After 7 days of new puppy ownership and trying to teach a sit command before bestowing dogfood on said puppy: I uttered Sienna Sit! She stood very still, knowing that she was supposed to be obeying in something but not sure what. Usually, I reach down to push her little rump down on the ground. She thinks its playtime when I reach down and we lose all focus from the sitting excercise. But this morning: After looking up at me in confusion for a while, she suddenly had an idea, "I can do this other thing?" And she sits her little puppy self down. I shriek in delight Good Girl! I am still talking about it I am so excited. Now, we probably can't repeat this yet but it is interesting that SOMETHING is getting through!

Yeah, I LOVE being a dog owner!

Who do you love the most

Who do you love the most!


Here's a story relayed through grandma:

KJ- Daddy gave me a kiss
Granny - That's because Daddy loves you
KJ - Who loves me?
Granny - Mommy and Daddy and Granny love you the most!
KJ - Oh?
Granny - Who do you love the most?
KJ - Erika
Granny - (surprise ) Oh?
KJ - Erika and her friend Carlos came to my house to visit me
Granny - Carlos isn't Erika's friend any more
KJ - Why?
Granny - Because he can't be her friend any more
KJ - Oh. She'll find another friend
Granny - yeah. Let's say our prayers.
KJ - (bowed head) God bless Carlos...


Out of the mouths of babes...

Sienna

Sienna !
Isn't she just beautiful? Sienna Ivy came home with me this past Saturday and is making her new home with me! She is just gorgeous and such a sweetheart. She's 4 months old and her Daddy is a champion Show Dog. Her momma is a Blue Fawn light grey. She doesn't bark or bite or jump up(moost of the time). We are learning each other's languages and are both eager to make the other one happy! So far we both know we love each other and I think we can get such things as house training, leash training and such worked out soon. The roommates love her and friends love her. And my little neice KJ thinks its funny that she is brown like the color of a leaf.
