Boy, were we in for a ride. “Wow, yeah, these are the Ferrari of dogs,” our vet said, in reference to the energy level the beautiful Border Collie we just adopted had. “You better find something for it to do, and fast!” he said. We soon found out that Border Collies are workers. They are…
I’ll never forget the day I had the opportunity to see Pearl Harbor. As the boat made its way out on the water towards the U.S.S. Arizona’s final resting place, it was sobering to think about what all had happened there. As I sat thinking about that attack on its 75th anniversary this week, in…
