Ahem.

Okay, I'm back for now.  Summer has arrived, so I feel like I have some down time.  I've got two classes for the summer.  One's over and done with and the other just started--Group Dynamics.  My counseling internship is just underway. I'm slightly intimidated, but at the same time not.  After just one short year of classes, they are planning to set me loose to meddle in the lives of others. I will meet with my first client on Monday.



In other news I just got back from a visit to Atlanta.  I feel a bit sheepish saying it was to see my dog, so I'll instead say I got  to see my dear friend Patty, my brother, sister-in-law, and the dogs.



Bianca is getting a little older, showing a bit of white around the eyes.  She's mellowing, but very much still stubborn and verbal.  She has vastly improved her skills of catching waffles off of her nose.

B. is 3!

A birthday tribute to my favorite puppy dog who turns 3 today!

A new wonderful obsession--The Dog Whisperer

This man is changing my world. I am the pack leader.

One of my favorite faces

I am a dog person. I can't help it, I'm drawn to them. I have been struck lately about just how much I love my dog. She warms my heart. She can be annoying as well, I'm not going to paint an unrealistic picture, but I am so very fond of her. She rarely lets me get a picture, so with the help of photobooth and a sit, stay command, here she is (Sorry they're so big).

I think my dog is an ESFP

Back in my graduate school years, when I lived with Lou and Renae, I was irritated more than once by Lou decreeing the personality type of my stuffed dog. I'm over it. Joie and I decided today that we think Bianca is an ESFP. She is most definately an extroverted feeler. She makes noises for everything. She's obsessed with having her toys within her reach, so we thought Sensing, and she can change her activities on a whim without any thought to what she was pursuing before, thus Perceiver.
This morning she sat at the top of the stairs and whined because she heard activitiy downstairs and wanted to go see the kids. I called her to the kitchen and told her to eat her breakfast, which she went and did, totally forgetting about the children. I have a very odd dog.

My B

Back when it was really cold and I was shoveling twice a day this was captured by Allison. I do appreciate summer.
