WISHING EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Claudia Orlandi Seminar

Misty Shores Chesapeakes — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:14:19 +0000

This Saturday I am attending a seminar on breeding and anatomy; this is being presented by Claudia Orlandi, Ph.D.. She wrote the book “ABC’s of Dog Breeding” which is a home study program covering the genetics of breeding. I read and took the test in the back of the book a couple years ago, sent my test in to the AKC and received a completion certificate.

I have been waiting for a long time for her to come to Michigan again to give her seminar and now she is finally going to be here and not only will I get to hear her lecture on this book I will have the pleasure of hearing the lecture on the “Practical Canine Anatomy and Movement”

But wait it gets better, they have had such a large group of people register that they did not have enough dogs to use for the hands on anatomy section so they sent out an email requesting dogs. I thought about it and figured what the heck I will volunteer Cheyenne and great news they accepted my offer. So not only do I get to attend a seminar I have been waiting a long time for my beautiful Cheyenne gets to go with me. My friends over at Dusty Rose Chesapeakes will also be attending with one of their dogs, in fact it is because of them that I know about this book.

I love to learn all I can about the genetics and structure of dogs and I think you can never stop educating yourself. There is always something new to learn and in the long run it helps to make you a better breeder.

One Last Award

Misty Shores Chesapeakes — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:37:56 +0000

I mentioned in my post More Awards to Share that I had one more award to share. This one is a little different than previous awards and it was given to us by the Island Traveler, we are so humbled and honored by this particular award and I think you will see why when you read about it here. It is the Hope Unites Globally Hug Award

One particular paragraph really jumped out at me

“These people use their available resources–a smile, a hug, a helping hand, a listening ear, a voice, time, money, possessions, education, personality, talent, websites and blogs—to make a positive impact on the world and make the world a better place to live.”

Since I have started bogging I have read some amazing blogs and although I have not met most of you in person I feel like I have through the stories you write. All of you open up your part of the world and share it with the rest of us and I just want everyone to know how blessed I am to have the opportunity to share with such a great community of friends. So I am passing this award on to everyone I am currently following.

Thank you so much for the lovely award and your wonderful comments, I enjoy your blog very much. So today I have finally gotten around to sharing it, the award is to recognize the work of fellow bloggers and to let them know that their work is appreciated and I do appreciate everyone’s blog. All of you put so much time and effort into everything you post.

Where Does The Time Go!

I have fallen so far behind on my blog and reading all of your great blogs. Classes started a couple of weeks ago and with work and the dogs there is just not enough time in the day to do all the things I want to get done; I hope to get caught up in the next week or so. I can’t wait to see what everyone has been up to and I have a few awards to share also.

Thank you all for stopping by and all the well wishes for Maia, she is doing much better. I am very blessed to have all of you!

God Bless You All!!
