The Picture posted


I just wanted to introduce my rescue dog on my profile picture, Scout, he is a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog. I have had him now for 2 years he was 9 months when I first got him at the Humane Society. He has become my son's best friend, but he knows who to come to when he gets spooked! lol We also have a Great Swiss Mountain dog we rescued 3 years ago, she had been abandoned at a campsite, she was dirty, skinny, thirsty, hungry, and obviously lonely, my husband fell in love with her the minute he saw her. We thought at first she belonged to someone camping there, but no one would claim her. My husband gave her water from his hands, and she was timid with him at first, but grateful for the water. We were driving away and she followed. Bless my husband's heart he stopped and put her in the truck. She spent the night with us in the tent and slept like a baby. We think she had to have been abused she was fearful of everything. My patient husband took the time to work with her and believe me this dog is his best friend.  I believe rescue dogs are the best kind of dogs to get, they know they are home, and never wonder off. These two have been a big part in our family. They love each other and you can see them "beating" each other up quit often. They sleep together on one dog bed even though there is two beds. I hope you have enjoyed part of my family on my first blog.

First Blog

Hello and welcome to my first blog.
I have created this blog for my (once again) first Humanities class.  Yes I have a lot of firsts! Let me introduce myself, I am Brenda, a mom of three wonderful children, wife of an amazing man, and I will be a first time Grandma in May 2011. I work full time as a Health Information Management Specialist for a nearby hospital, and go to school part time.  I will be graduating in May with my first Associates of Art  degree. I am planning for a career in Social Work so I can help single mothers find the resources they need for their families in time of need. I want to be able to comfort family members of a dying loved one, or hold the hand of a child who just lost his or her parents. I feel I have a gift that can be used to help others in need. Thank you for reading my first blog and if you want please leave a message, who knows you could be the first.
