A Long Overdue Thank You…Day Two Hundred, Five

June 23, 2011 By Jodi

A few weeks ago, I received the Genuine Blogger award from Just Ramblin’.  I had every intention of writing a thank you in my blog and then, well things happened and I put it off and then more things happened and before I knew it, here I was like three weeks later FINALLY writing a thank you.

Just Ramblin’ is the creator of the Genuine Blogger award and she describes it as such:

I know that earning an award is very cool. Giving one is often even more so. I thought it would be nice to create an award that had no “rules” or “requirements.” It is just that…an award. An award given in the true “spirit” of giving some recognition for effort. It is not “official” but rather just a “fun” award. It does not require listing facts or awarding it to a certain amount of fellow bloggers. It is for the blog and the blogger. It will be given to someone for his or her genuineness in blogging. Free and clear. It is an award that I hope allows recipients to know that their work is appreciated, valued, and noteworthy by a fellow blogger and it does not have the pressure of “rules and requirements” to follow.  If you choose to give this award to a deserving fellow blogger, please do so with no “rules.” Award it to someone for his or her genuineness in blogging.

I admit I was totally overwhelmed when first presented with this award.  I mean you all know how I doubt myself and my work, honestly sometimes I read what I have written and deem it “rubbish.”  There are days that I still really struggle trying to put a sentence together. 🙂  Really, check my grammar; it sucks.

It still surprises me when someone I don’t personally know, reads my blog and leaves a comment, never mind giving me an award!

So Just Ramblin’ please accept my sincerest apology for taking so long to acknowledge this tremendous award; and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bestowing me with such an honor.

Mama's Little Work of Art…Day Two Hundred, Three

June 21, 2011 By Jodi

“Mama’s little work of art,” Chet said as he rubbed Delilah’s ears.

“That’s what you are, Mama’s little work of art.”

When you think about it; dog’s really are a work of art.  They enter our lives as a piece of canvas and stroke by stroke; layer by layer we create a picture.  We shape the canvas with our words and deeds.

Delilah is a work of art, the result of hard work, patience, love and above all, the belief she was worth saving.

When we embarked upon this journey together 1,486 days ago, I knew it would be a tough road.  Rescuing a dog with no history can be a risky undertaking, but Delilah is proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks. 

It hasn’t been easy, as a matter of fact it has been a long, hard road that did not come without its challenges.  But stroke by stroke, layer by layer my canvas has formed into a picture.
