  1. The bottom-line line is that if you have the correct gear, then no temperature is too low.

     

     

    I agree with Freebird. I'm a Scout mom and go camping at least once every month. The coldest campout was 16 degrees with a light dusting of snow. The colder the better... Scouts believe its Character Building!!

  2. Thanks to everyone who came out. I agree that this event should be bigger and more publicized, the organizers said they thought the turnout was better than last year, but seemed slower to me. We will be back next year.....

     

    Clawdia.... it was great meeting you... by the way.. I have TONS of doggie bandanas left over... could the PCHS use them? Last year I dropped a box off at the shelter, may do that again.

  3. Everyone is invited to come out this Saturday September 25th to Paulding Meadows for the 5th Annual Doggie Days Festival. (10am-4pm)

  4. I for one consider myself deeply spiritual and have a very strong faith... but not necessarly with one specific religion. I belive in God, I pray, I trust that Jesus died for me.... but I am also deeply intrested in many other religions, including Buddisim, and Paganism. My 15 year old son, who is a devout Christian, thinks it's wrong of me to "believe" in so many different things. Whereas I can't understand why he refuses to even "think" there might be more out there.

     

    I wear a very small pentacle around my neck (which drives my son crazy). He thinks it's a bad symbol. But to me, it symbolizes much more... it's five points symbolizes the five elements... which keeps me grounded... the circle reminds me that everything in life comes in full circle, which keeps me on a moral path. It has also been written in many texts that the pentacle was an early symbol of Christ, the five points being the five wounds of Christ, which reminds me that God stands with me in all I do.. These are my beliefs... thats why I wear my symbol hidden, close to my heart... I do not push my beliefs on anyone else, no do I expect anyone else to accept them. What I do expect is for everyone to respect the fact that this is America.. founded on religious freedom.

     

    My beliefs don't make me a bad person.... just a different one.

     

     

    [Now I have a question for you........what if you are wrong? Do you ever think about that? And are you willing to accept the consequences thereof?

    ]

     

    Same question to you.... what if your wrong....

  5. Two years ago I adopted a beautiful Golden Retriever from the Union County Animal Control. (Driving from Dallas to Blairsville to get her) Her adoption fee was $150.00. At first I thought "alittle high" but she was a pure bread and she was coming fulled vetted and "fixed". So I gladly handed over the money. Within six months we realized we not only got a pound puppy but a puppy mill puppy. She is deathly afraid of kennels so could not be kennel trained, also terrified of thunder and lightning. (thunder hits and I have an 80lb dog in my lap) These were just behavior problems.... then came the money problems.... first.. she eats like a horse.... secondly she also has a severe flea allergy from overbreeding.. which means costly vet bills getting allergy shots once a month and buying over the counter allergy pills that we spoon feed her with peanut butter. Easily I spend $100 on her a month.....

     

    If I could go back to two years ago when I was standing in the shelter and decide not to get her...... H#LL NO !!!!!!

     

    She has been an absolute blessing to our family... we love her like she was a child. We also have two other dogs... both members of our family. And I gladly hand over what ever money it takes to keep them healthy and happy.

     

    Frankly I think that the laws we have on the books now are not enough.... and I praise everyone that works these shelters.... God Bless you!

  6. All Boys in the First thru Fifth Grade are invited to attend our School Night for Scouting Roundup at Northside Elementary School Thursday August 26th from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.

  7. Bunkhouse really is the best.... and the Gruber family is top notch. (they are also neighbors of mine)
