Bling wins at the Tulsa Show

By

 Hi Friends,

I went to a dog show in Tulsa and had a wonderful time!   I won a ribbon.   Dog shows are a lot of fun.  

I am a team with my mom.   We do this together.   Being a team is what we both love the most about dog shows.   Long, long ago my mom was told we would lose more at the dog show than we would win.  They went on to say we would win enough to keep coming back.

We learn something when we lose at the dog show.  We learn the joy of winning.  If we won all the time, winning would no longer be so special.   When we go to the dog show, we try really hard to win knowing we may not.   It is not about winning.   It is about giving 100% of our efforts.  It is about trying our very best.  If we win, then we have a very special day.   If we don't win, we know we really tried and there will be another dog show.

At this show, we won second place for the girls.   It would have been nice to win 1st place.   But you know what, there are other dogs that did not win 2nd place that would have loved to have won that.  We left the dog show in Tulsa very happy.   We spent time with old friends.  We made  new friends.   We had fun together.   It was a great day.

I just received a message that truly touches the heart.   This message is a result of a grandmother who gave her grandson my children's picture book, No Ghoulish Green Monsters Here, and following is what she shared with me.  I have to say, I could not be more excited....touched....Bling's messages through her book are exactly what was hoped for while I was writing it and creating the illustrations.   To purchase Bling's book - go to her website at adogbling.com Hi Dawn! I bought a autographed copy of your first book for my 3 year old grandson. His sweet Dad just sent me these two texts this evening and I thought you would enjoy seeing them.   My son loves the Bling Irish setter book you got him, we’ve read it by demand every night lol   He literally loves this book lol. He told me tonight that the books meaning to him is that if something is scary that we have to be brave in his own 3 year old way after we read it tonight. He was going through a l...

Hi friends, It is time for this week's book review.   The name of this week's book is Interrupting Chicken .   The story is written and illustrated by David Ezra Stein . Last week my book review was also a chicken story.  Here we are this week with another chicken story.   I love chickens.  It is that simple.  They are fun little pets and they give me eggs for my breakfast.  Yeah.   Eggs are yummy.   This week's book, Interrupting Chicken, is about a little red chicken that interrupts her Papa when he is reading her bed time stories.   I have 2 red chickens.  Really, it is true.  If you look closely, you can see them behind me in this photo.  The first one is Tribble and the one behind her is Dr. Pepper.   They are two of my most favorite chickens.   I have nine.   That's not counting my new chicks!   Let's move on to our book review and stop me...

Hi Friends, It is time for another weekly book review.   Writing a book review means I've read a book.  Every time I read a book, I have to bark bark bark with excitement.  Books are really special.  I am not sure if we talk enough about that.   Books let us explore places we may never visit in person.  On the flip side, books may tells us about a place that leads to us to visit there someday.   Books are so important.   Okay, on to our book! This week, my book review is on "Good Night Baddies" written by Deborah Underwood and illustrated by Juli Kangas. When you look at a book, do you ever wonder what made you want to read the book?   For me, it is all about pictures.  After all, isn't that what a children's picture book is all about?   With this week's book, "Good Night Baddies", I loved how real the illustrations looked.   I picked up the book and opened it to read the book flap...
