post-Christmas

Merry Christmas!  Jazi celebrated her first Christmas with her new forever family in Nederland this year with Mom, Duncan, and me.  She could have cared less about the tree and the gifts.  Her present was running around in Mom's backyard.  To copy the phrase, she "runs like a deer" - leaping and jumping.  Kind of reminiscent of Pepe Le Pew from Looney Tunes...

She is still very active and healthy.  Our goal is to go through training to become a therapy dog this year.  She has the perfect temperament - as long as you don't give her rawhide.  She gets a little possessive over those for some reason, but nothing else.  So easily avoided - she just doesn't get any.

2012 was a very blessed year for me.  I got a wonderful new job, a wonderfully furry child, and great roommate, and I continue to be blessed by the presence of those God has placed in my life.  I am so grateful for social media to be able to keep in touch and stay in touch with friends that I don't see all the time.  It can certainly be a dangerous addiction, but I believe it can me as much of a blessing!  Thanks for praying for me!  "I thank my God every time I remember each of you!" (Philippians 1:4)
