And now “G”
Greyhounds: They are seriously the best breed of dogs, ever! I rescued Donny when I was still single and living in an apartment with my roomie, Laura….who graciously agreed to let me get a big doggie. :) I have always been a big dog person (although I love all puppies). But living in an apartment with a busy life, I needed a dog that would be fairly low maintenance. The greyhound was my choice. These dogs are bred by the hundreds in order to make money through racing. They are treated very well through the racing process (as far as care is concerned), although the racing itself can be quite dangerous. But as soon as they stop winning, their usefullness is gone…and unless a rescue organization comes to pick them up, they are often killed at no more than 3-4 years old…and the figure is more like 1-2 years old. A greyhound’s life expectancy is more like 12-14 years. So many sweet doggies lives are cut short! That’s why I got Donny. And then we got Marie. Yes, our dogs names are Donny and Marie…it’s a long story. In any case, they are great dogs…and funny…and our lives wouldn’t be as interesting or fun without them around.
Games: I love board games! I love playing all kinds of games with my friends. I find that it’s a great way to get to know people and see their personalities come through. My favorite is Apples to Apples. FUN!
Groups: I so enjoy being in groups with other people. In a group, I come up with more creative ideas and do my best work. I believe that the strongest force is a well-balanced group that has come together for a common purpose or goal. In order to lead effectively, I HAVE to be a part of a team. It’s just the way it is.
God: What can I say…the One who loves me, shelters me, blesses me, has plans for me, the One who forgives me, wants me, calls me, waits for me, sent His Son for me, and who fills me up every day. He’s the reason I have a purpose to live and it is because of His plan that I will be reunited with Him again.
