Getting back to my blog…..thanks to all that follow !

Spring was a wonderful time to visit my mother.  The warmer Virginia days, the flowers blooming showing off their pride,  longer days to enjoy visits and smiles on mom’s face.

I would pick her up and we would go for walks in the Park and then I would bring her to my home and make her lunch !  The happy times are behind me but still vivid in my mind and heart.

Or I would visit her at the convalescent center, bring my dog and she would beam with pride and tell the other residents that it was her dog.  Of course, she had the leash and would walk down the halls showing him off.  Oh how I loved visiting her.

We would go to the drugstore and Mom would get all she needed for herself…I helped but she really enjoyed getting out and shopping.  It was time for spring clothes also.  If she didn’t see anything she liked, it was OK.  I would go back alone and pick her out nice outfits that she really enjoyed.

Buying Mom a shawl for her neck and shoulders kept her cozy as she walked around during the day.  She had a cover that kept her warm.   I highly recommend a lite shawl for your loved ones and one that is colorful and not too heavy.  Your loved one will get a lot of use out of this purchase.

We would also go out for coffee and doughnuts and spend time talking.  Mom’s memory had lessened dramatically but she was having such a delightful time, none of that mattered.

Thanks to all.

This is our black, long haired German shepherd dog, Jax.  He is enjoying his Sunday morning nap.  He has brought so much love and happiness into our lives.

I strive to help those that are scared of him simply because of the way he looks.  I explain that simply because he is a GSD does not automatically guarantee an ill behaved dog.  He does indeed resemble a Wolf – but one has to remember -difficult and aggressive behavior can be attributed to the OWNER, not the DOG. I get so many compliments of how well behaved and sweet he is (yes, I said sweet).

Puppies raised, as Jax was, with boundaries, structure, consistency with training and commands, love and training grow up to be strong and confident dogs.  When we brought him home at 8 weeks of age – we played with his toes, ears, legs, nose, to acclimate him to touch.  I took chew bones away from him as a puppy as he patiently waited for me to return to him.  I put my hands in his food bowl as he ate as well – and he trusted that I would continue to allow him to eat.  I socialized him with humans and canines.  We visited friends, dogs parks, pet stores etc. as he grew more socialized daily.

I love hugging him around his big neck – which always come with a big and sloppy kiss….
