2010 top dog hero

After receiving the Maricopa County Pet Hero of the Year award on October 26, someone turned Target out of the backyard on Veteran's Day during the night and she was picked up and euthanized by Pinal County Animal Control, supposedly by error. She is currently nominated for the USA Today 2010 top dog hero. Last night she currently had 52% of the votes they had received for the most heroic. Yesterday, the Oprah Winfrey Show re-aired her story and updated her story/death.

Then each week there are baked goods for sale two of the days (no excuse not to get my holiday baking done, is there?

Another term has vanished!

Another term at Kaplan University online has vanished into the books! It seems like only a short time ago I was anxious to get the classes started and now I am reluctant to see them end. Ten weeks in a lifetime just doesn't go very far these days! Hopefully the education I got will take me much further. Alas, nostalgia! I know you well.
