I just could not choose with all of the wonderful dogs that entered the contest so I chose to use a www.random.org a Random Number Generator. I entered in the total # of entries (13) and then I clicked ‘Generate’. It is a nifty little tool. I got the idea from www.cowbelly.com. Jamie P. used this website during another pet contest (I also attended one of her conferences back in 2008 and think the WORLD of her!).

Amy S. will be the proud owner of a signed “Survivors – Your Best Friend’s Journey With Cancer” book. Thank you Amy and I will be contacting you to get your information so I can send you your prize lickety-split!

My childhood cocker spaniel, Lady was diagnosed with cancer and was immediately put down. It breaks my heart to think that she could have been with us longer if there were more medical options like there is today. Lady (and the little pink bows we used to put in her hair) will always live in my heart…

Sweet 70′s flooring, eh?

FACT: 1 in 4 dogs are killed by this disease.

FACT: It is the No. 1 cause of death in dogs over the age of 2 years old.

So here is where the LOVE/HATE relationship comes into play when I go on vacation….I don’t “relax” like other people. I ALWAYS think I need to be doing something PRODUCTIVE. I feel like life is so short that I need to constantly be doing something or I might miss something.

This is where I am WRONG.

Let me explain.

Here is the perfect example, I was walking on the beach with my 4 and 7 year old last week. It was 8:00am and there was a the soft glow of light on the golden beach. Waves gently crashed on my left and a wispy breeze brushed my face with the Altantic Ocean air. Picture Perfect. While this scene would envoke relaxing thoughts in most people’s brains – mine was in the complete OPPOSITE state. 

Here is a sample of my “mental theater” on the beach:
“Don’t forgot to ship books to xyz editors on friday. what if the book doesn’t arrive on friday? is the press release ready to go? what time am I suppose to get together with that awesome social media guru? maybe I should confirm that appt today? what should I blog about when I get back? blah, blah, blah…..”

To make it worst – I am PHYSICALLY showing signs of stress. My fists are clenched at my side, my shoulders are tight and raised, my teeth are grinding as I am stomping my feet along the sand. I must have looked like Frankenstein in a women’s swimsuit!

What was I doing?  I finally shake myself and say my mantra, “LIVE IN THIS MOMENT”. I then consciencely stop myself from “stressing to the max” on this beautiful beach and look over at my 4 year old daughter. She is skipping along the beach and squealing in delight as the cold waves touch her toes. She is nowhere but HERE. Her Soul, her Thoughts, her Body are “IN THIS MOMENT”.

And I was missing it.

WHY do we do this? WHY do we MISS the greatest moments of our life? Our minds move so fast. Sometimes too fast. We need to slow things down and “LIVE IN THIS MOMENT”.

So I did.

I said, “The heck with the future for right now. I want to LIVE IN THIS MOMENT”.

So I chased waves with Alex for the morning.

I hope this helped you and thank you for reading this. I hope you find some waves to chase today.

Vin the Vizsla is a 15 month Vizsla puppy that was breed to hunt. He is the sweetest puppy in the world and was more then excited to try my Zukes chicken treats.

He has smooth, floppy puppy ears were to die for!

 Vin’s owner also brought a “chucker” – it is a bird that Vin will be trained to hunt. The term “chucker” was new for me so Mick walked me through how this “pointing” deal works. Vin performed beautifully!

Thank you Vin + Mick! Future huntin’ buddies!
