Happy Leaping!






You have a special place Dear Lord
that I know you’ll always keep
A special place reserved for dogs
when they quietly fall asleep
With large and airy kennels
and a yard for hiding bones
With maybe a little babbling creek
that chatters over stones.
With wide green fields and flowers
for those who never knew
about running freely under
Your sky of perfect blue.
Lord,I know You keep this Special Place
And so to you I Pray,
For one Special Rottweiler puppy
Who quietly died today
He was full of strength & love
and so very, very cute.
He is dearly missed my Lord
By a very good friend of mine.
He went to join his ancestors
To Your land that is Devine
So, speak to Zap softly please
And give him a warm hello.
He’s a Special gift to you Dear Lord
From Pat, Jan, Sydelle and Shaye, who loved him so.

RIP our beautiful angel!

New Year’s Toast
By Joanna Fuchs
Here’s to the new year…

May it bring more joy and success
And less grief and regret.
To our dreams…

May we never stop believing in them
And taking the actions that will make them a reality.
To our friends, loved ones, associates (or colleagues)…

May we take the time to let them know
How much it means to us
To have them in our lives.
Let us encourage more and criticize less,

Give more and need less.
And whenever we can,
Let us create harmony and peace.

To new beginnings…

Let us start fresh, right now,
To make this the very best year ever.
A very Happy New Year to all of us!

Dear God,
So far this has been a great year!
I haven’t gossiped about my friends.
I haven’t lost my temper.
I haven’t been greedy, grumpy,
nasty,
cruel, or rude.
I’m very thankful.
But in a few minutes, Lord, I’m going to get out of bed,
and from then on
I’m probably going to need a lot more help to get through
the New Year.
