Another Post About Oprah.




Ok, we all know how I feel about Oprah-she is my favorite person possibly in the world, besides a few of course-I just think she's genius and I LOVE her. So while watching her dog special a few weeks back I became fascinated with Tamar Gellar, a dog trainer. She practices a method of training that uses absolutely NO violence, but instead focuses on "play training". She teaches some very simple and practical methods to get your dog behaving the way you would like. She emphasizes on teaching your dog manners and just lots of great things. I have tried a few out on Sophie after I watched the show and they really did work. After the show I was inspired to read her book, "The Loved Dog" and am quickly flying through the pages. Her personal story is very sincere and interesting...making me not want to put it down! Aside from being a personal trainer to Oprah's doggies, she started out running "The Loved Dog Cage Free Kennel" in L.A. This is a must read if you have a pet-it will really open your eyes to how you are treating them and training this truly loyal & loving breed.

Good Morning!
We're still patiently waiting--which means we are still jumping out of our skin every single time the phone rings. I still remember when we were waiting for you!!! I believe we heard about you early in the morning :). I can still remember the love that I felt for you before you were even here...a deep indescribable love...and it lasts forever.

AW I could cry! After the baby is born you and mom should come up here and do some Christmas shopping. I'm pretty sure Carmel has the best shopping around!
