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 little scared of the da

Hi Kids, I am going to start doing a weekly book review.  There are so many GGGGRRRREAT books out there.   I wish we could read them all.  This week, my book review is on " Do Unto Otters " by author, Laurie Keller .  The book is fabulous.   Of course, the first thing I enjoyed was the cover and all the illustrations of ANIMALS.  I LOVE animals.  On the cover, Ms. Keller writes this book is, "A Book About Manners."   You know, learning great manners is one of those things that we can never stop learning about.  The older we get, the more we try, and the more we care about others, will all teach us to have the best manners possible.   Manners might not seem important now, but they are.  Believe me when I tell you this!!   The book starts out with Otters moving to the animals' neighborhood in the forest.  All the other animals are worried about the Otters.  The other animals were worried that the Otters would not have good manners.   The animals hoped the O

Hi friends, It is time for this week's book review.   Do you remember a few weeks ago we talked about a story book containing 3 stories about Harry the dog?   Well, I thought it would be fun to review the second story of this book.   Of course the story is about our cute little buddy, Harry.  The name of this week's story in the book is No Roses for Harry.   The story is written by Gene Zion and illustrated by Margaret Bloy Graham . If you remember the last story we read about Harry, you will remember Harry seems to get himself into trouble.   Well, Harry is going to get himself into trouble again in this story. The story starts out with the kids in Harry's family giving him a sweater that their grandmother had made for him.   Harry loved how it felt on.  The only problem was that the sweater had roses on it.  Now really, how could he wear a sweater with roses on it.  Harry was not happy.   Then, to make matters worse
