DRAGGED OUT OF BED, EXCUSE MY FRENCH, AT THE BUTT CRACK OF DAWN!!! Then Hauled Out Of The House In Temperature That A Penguin Would Freeze In....FOR NOTHING!!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! My Human aka Einstein, thought she was subbing!! But No She Was Not!!! When I Found Out.....I Wasn't Speaking To Her!!!! Skye, of course, didn't care either way. Shows me, my theory is true, Skye has no sense!!! Since yesterday, I haven't Budged from my WARM, COMFY SPOT!!! Hope all my wonderful friends are staying warm. Love, Stormy.

The other day, I was going through old pictures and found this one. It is my driveway when I lived on Bell Rd. in Nashville. Fifteen hundred feet long with a formidable hill at the last part. Visitors going up the hill in good weather hit trees or slid back down. Much less making up when snow covered. Some friends did make up in a Jeep with four-wheel drive. My Firebird definitely wasn't making it. For years l walked it until I bought my first Wrangler!!! No more walking for me!!! I was ecstatic being to Finally Get Up My Driveway!!!! Going to the house in my Wrangler, I used the access road going off to the right. I'd drive a short distance up, go up a small hill, across a field, and go down a hill, and be parked by my fence. It was gorgeous where I lived. In the middle of a hundred fifty acres of farm and field. I'd go walking in the snow with my dogs. Sometimes, I'd sled down the hill. Very quiet and remote. There were times I walk in the woods up along Bell Rd. On one of my walks, I found an abandoned house and old cemetery. Some the dates were early eighteen hundreds. One of the inscriptions read, "Remember me as you pass by. As you are, so was I. As I am so you will be. Think of death and remember me." Gave me chills reading that the first time. My place was just on the other side of the tree line. Ten years I made there. I wanted out of Nashville, getting too busy in 1995. All of that remote, peaceful beauty is gone. Apartments are there now. I am glad I moved to Gallatin. Sending all my amazing friends a warm, wonderful day. Love, Linda.

I AM TUCKED IN AND WAITING FOR THE SNOW!!!! I done told my human I AM NOT going outside!!! Skye, of course, and Willow are EXCITED about the snow!!! Are they nuts??!!! I have a simple way of measuring the snowfall....So simple my human understands it. It is Ears or No Ears!!! If Skye goes out and her ears show, the snow isn't so deep!!! If she goes out and her ears disappear....I may never go outside again!!!! Stay warm and safe while enjoying the snow!!! If it ever shows up!!! Love, Stormy

I Should Have Stayed Out of Home Goods....but I didn't. Instead of coming home with One banket, I came home with Two blankets!!! The soft, plush feel of the blankets has my willpower vanishing. To make even more tempting, Corgis are all over the blanket. No way to pass it up. Titan and Skye both liked the new blankets. Titan is doing amazing!! At night, when I hang out with him, he smiles, rolls, and bucks. One of the best parts of my day. It's hard to believe he has been with me almost a year. Seems like yesterday, he was brought here. I love Titan so much!!! His perverse streak. Like getting in the laundry room when temperature is frigid. The room isn't heated. He opens the door and lays on blankets. As a result, makes the bathroom cold. If the temperature is warm, he won't have anything to do with the room. The one night, it was in the teens, I crated him. Woke up to him out of his crate in the laundry room. It's who they are.....keeping me humble. I have to laugh. He is such a character!!! Time with him relaxes me greatly. I hope all my friends are warm and happy today. Love, Linda.

I SLEPT THROUGH CHRISTMAS!!!! Skye was Supposed To Wake Me Up....NATURALLY...SHE FORGOT!!!! To make up for it, I spent the day BARKING AT NOTHING!!!! TIMING IS EVERYTHING when barking at nothing!!!! Hahaha...I can't stop Giggling!!! I caught my human Engrossed in A Murder In Music City and Barked Loudly At Nothing!!!! My human jumped straight up, dropped the book, wide eyed looking around!!!!! BEST PART OF MY DAY!!! My human, however didn't share my feelings. Now she thinks it's funny. Skye, of course, tried getting down the steps before any of the Humans. I hope all of my friends had as wonderful Christmas as we had. Love, Stormy

My Human traveled The World!!!! I was with her in invisible mode!!!! The places!!! The sights!!! And Best Of All......THE FOOD!!! There was food from all the countries!!!! I sampled Every Dish!!! I can't wait til next year!!! The Little Human's school had a Multicultural Fair!!! Can you believe it!!! I went in invisible mode and LOVED IT!!! Each grade was a different continent. Each room a different country. It was Incredible!!! Of course, we all know which country was my humans favorite!! Hope all my friends are having a stupendous day!!! Love, Stormy.

Putting up a Christmas Tree is hard work....Titan can attest to that!! He was in the middle of lights and decorations from start to finish!!! What better place to nap than under the tree. He had a excellent afternoon soaking up attention and sniffing everything in the living room. It fills my heart with joy seeing how much Titan loves my daughter. She is definitely his person. He is her favorite as well. When she is around, he glows, becomes more animated, and smiles. Giving him a new lease on life has been incredible!!! Now he truly enjoys life....he also enjoys food topping the scale at forty four pounds. Way up from thirty. One of the best parts of my day is coming home to Titan after subbing. My dogs are at a friend's house, so Titan has free run. He loves it. Most evenings, I sit a bit with him practicing my energy. He relaxes me. I am forever grateful to the Universe for bringing Titan to me!! Sending all my friends a beautiful afternoon!!! Love, Linda.

I miss Zeus!!! He made this page funny and interesting!!! A larger than life character He was!!! Four years down the road and I can't make it work. Titan has echoes of Zeus.. .slightly perverse and keeping me humble. Stormy and Skye, mellow, easy dogs. I'm able to relax and enjoy them. Having them is a blessing. It's been a few weeks since I did any private training sessions. A lot of other trainers out there. Kinda hard to fathom. All things have their time. My time may have passed. I am okay with that. I still have group classes and therapy dog training. If someone wants private training, I will do it. Titan has a deep spot in my heart. He loves soaking up the sun on these warm afternoons. He is so full of life. Skye with her Corgi brain amazes me. Her latest is polishing off a tin of cookies. She got them off the shelf, opened the tin, and ate the cookies. Go figure. Stormy is happily spreading love and joy wherever he goes. My hippie dog. If he was a human he'd be a hippie. Life is good. I have a short cast now!! The Tuesday after Halloween it comes off!! I start using my arm again!! The weather is great!!! Love sitting on the porch watching Willow and her pumpkins. Life is good. I hope all my friends are enjoying themselves!!! Love, Linda.

Silverwood wad amazing!!!! Although, I lost five pounds chasing the Little Human up and down the steps!! Life was good til fatso Percy showed up getting all My Humans attention!! Doesn't he have his own humans??? She told me, Percy always has a piece of her heart but I am her special boy!!! The Little Human made several friends, swam, got in the hot tub, and went to the gym!! Didn't go well for me, when I suggested my human visit the gym. We enjoyed relaxing in the mountains watching the Humans and other dogs go by. One of the very best parts of Silverwood, for my human, was drinking her morning coffee by the front door. All the other people and dogs passing by. Most mornings, she was joined by a friend and her dog. I am ecstatic the Little Human came along!! She unloaded and loaded all our bags, she helped my human do almost everything. She let me sleep in. Coming home was pretty uneventful except for going inside Bucees. Delicious smells and food everywhere!!! I would have stayed all day but my human refused. Today we are home relaxing. Tomorrow, I have to start getting up early Again!! Hope all my friends are having an amazing day!! Love, Stormy
