Unlikely Friends - a video about learning to trust

I love this video. My mom sent it to me. Please take the time to watch it with your kids and then ask them what they think, what they learned about this friendship and if they saw 'trust' in the friendship. It really is a beautiful little story.

I'm sure some of you may have seen this past week the Beagle, Uno, who won the coveted Westminster Dog Show Best in Show prize. How could you miss it, he was barking on every channel. He is absolutely adorable!

Uno at Westminster showing his stuff!

Well, here is the really cool part!

Uno's father is named Parker. He is from a Kennel out of Ogden, Utah. In the same litter that Parker was from was a dog named Rhett (as in Butler). Rhett is the father of my dog, Gracie.

So...Gracie and Uno are cousins....on their father's side!

Gracie at home...showing her stuff under her table.

OK..so this is probably not even a blip on the radar screen of many of you, but to me...it is quite fun and exciting.

Here is the link to the kennel that Uno, Parker and Rhett are from. (You can click on Beagles and see pictures of Parker and Rhett under the 'boys' section)

Beagles are amazing family dogs and I would recomend them to anyone who wants a loyal companion with soft ears and a bark that sings at the moon!

Super Tuesday - YES WE CAN!

I get an e-mail often from Barack Obama, and today was no different. I received the following video from Michelle Obama. It is tremendous! Even if you are not supporting or did not support my man Obama in your state's primary, take a few moments to at least enjoy the creativity of this video created by one of his supporters.

If Super Tuesday is your state's primary or caucus day - get out and vote - it is a priviledge and an honor to be able to support whomever you choose.

But for me, I choose OBAMA!
