Thank YOU!

This is my 197th post.  It amazes me that I am approaching 200 and just how fast that time has gone.  When I first started this blog back in mid 2012, I was very excited to share all of my dog adventures with Piper and Murray and my tales were overflowing from my head.  As I look back to the beginning I see I even posted several times a day (where did the time come from?)!  Then over the following months, posts from me dropped back.  I had less time to devote to this blog (I'm a full time school teacher) and didn't seem to have the inspiration to write quite as much.  I started posting once or twice a week.  I knew all along I had a purpose for this blog, probably several purposes!  I needed time to sort that out I guess.  The blogging community is certainly one I love being a part of.  Dog people are like none other.  They are truly the most kind, caring and helpful people around, if I do say so myself.  My blog has also been a creative outlet to share and learn about my favorite topic.  This blog has pushed me to look closely at dog issues and topics, discover new things through the sharing that's fostered and laugh (and sometimes cry) all along the way.  This year when the calendar turned to 2014, my idea of the direction I wanted my blog to go became more clear.  I wanted to start posting daily once again.  That took some planning ahead on my part, but mostly I've been successful so far.  I also wanted a mix of post topics, but with the central theme of love and care for dogs.  I have been working to find this balance the past couple months.  All of this being said, this post is to thank all of you:  The blogs I try to visit regularly and wish I could find time to visit more.  My silent readers who never make themselves known.  My readers from Murray's personal Facebook profile.  My readers from my personal Facebook profile.  My new blog Facebook page followers.  My friends and family.  This blog is the fun, cared for, stress relieving, relationship fostering, educating vehicle that I had hoped it would be.  Thank you!  Now let's move into the 200's :)
