This glorious pure bred German Shepherd was abandoned by her owners - tied in the back yard and left there. After all, a ten year old dog is disposable, right? Her humans didn't want to bother with her anymore. She had heart worms and parasites. She was starving, confused and years of legendary German Shepherd loyalty couldn't even save her life.
The first thing numerous adults notice when they are having an asthma attack is they are coughing, feel tightness or discomfort in the chest area and also have difficulty breathing...
We are asking animal shelters across the USA to take a pledge not to kill any savable animals on June 11, 2012. For Just One Day, "Euthanasia Technicians" will put down their syringes and pick up cameras. Instead of injecting animals with lethal doses of sodium pentobarbital, they will photograph them and post them on the Internet, on Facebook, on twitter. On June 11, 2012, they will market their animals to the public, they will reach out to rescue groups, they will host adoption events with discounted rates, they will stay open for extended hours, and they will ask their communities to help them empty the shelter the good way.
Hey Ho - next thing I get to look forward to in the seemingly never-ending cough saga is a CT Scan scheduled for January 12th at 12:45 (wrote this down here so I wouldn't forget).
Yes, I'm still hack-hack-hacking! I started coughing around the 2nd week of August, and I haven't stopped. I've been on four different anti-biotics. I've had a chest X-ray. But I made it through the fall concert season, and I have five weeks to go before I have to sing again.
Since I can't seem to get on the right track with this blogging thing, I decided I needed to start reading other blogs - specifically, blogs about blogs - and try to gather some inspiration for my own. So far it has felt as though I was wandering around in the dark bumping into things in cyberspace somewhat like one of those silver balls in a pachinko machine.
In the bleak midwinter, Gordy & I sang some Christmas songs...
Thanks to all the wonderful people at Church at the Mall! We so enjoyed being there with you today for a special time of music. You were so kind and understanding as we bellowed out note after note being half sick - coughing and sniffling and mustering up as much energy as we could!!
Google Music Store Officially Launches: How Does This Affect CD Baby Artists?
NOVEMBER 16, 201150 COMMENTS AND 5 REACTIONS
The newly launched Google Music service allows users to discover and buy new music, share it with their friends on Google+, and upload their existing music collection (up to 20,000 tracks) to “the cloud” for free. Google Music users can then stream all purchased and uploaded tracks from the web or any device, tablet, or phone.
Well, we've done it. The site is live and waiting for critiques, reviews, and all manner of nastiness you all have to throw at us! We've invited a special selection of "folks" to take it for a test drive and let us know what they think. After they've run amok through Rock Dove Ministries-Land, we'll send out another notification through a brand new newsletter that has been developed. We'll be sending the newsletter to all those who have signed up on our email list, so if you get a second notification because of this, we apologize! Bear with us. We'll get the system down soon...
Thanks for hanging out with us in cyberspace!
Along with a new website, we are working on a brand new Rock Dove logo. So exciting. We'll launch this along with the website at the end of the month...or maybe give you a sneak peek ahead of time. Stay tuned!
Goodbye ole' boy!
Well, kids, with the launch of the new web site, we really, really and truly are going to get on the blog-wagon even if it is only a quick word or two. Ok, it may not be every day (for sure won't be every day) but we plan on checking in often. We will post info that we find interesting or helpful, inspirational or funny, pertinent or completely unrelated to anything.
So sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
Another word about Christian music and the recession:

Ah, Mt. Gretna, Mt. Gretna...
What a wonderful time we had last night singing once again at your beautiful tabernacle. For some reason or another, strange and one-of-a-kind adventures occur there, and last night was no exception! For all of those partaking in the frolic and mayhem, we hope you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the laughter and the companionship of good friends. For those not partaking in the frolic and mayhem, we hope you enjoyed the concert!
We particularly want to thank Officer Peebles for keeping the peace and remaining light-hearted about it all. As for us, our philosophy includes the throwing stones metaphor as well as the one about the plank in my own eye...
So from sharks to swigs, we love you Mt. Gretna!
