Books & Birthdays

Ah, the fun of selecting a new audiobook.  As a member of http://www.audible.com/ I get one credit to use every month and always look forward to that.  I keep a Wish List and watch the just-published lists for interesting additions.  There are many book sales on Audible, but I use the credit to purchase full priced books or at least one of the more expensive ones, and buy the sale-priced books out of pocket.  It's nice to have a backlog of unread books in "My Library" on the Audible website.  Today's purchase was the newest John Sandford mystery featuring Lucas Davenport (Lucas "lives" in my neighborhood), "Buried Prey".  Can't wait to start it.

Journey still enjoys treat toys at 15.

Happy Birthday, Journey!  15 years old today!   Last year there were still 5 littermates alive and well, but at least 3 passed away between the ages of 14 and 15.  We are so fortunate to have such a long-lived and healthy breed!  15 is not unusual for Dalmatians, and a few live even longer than that.

Journey lives in North Carolina and still has a career as a Therapy Dog, and in fact she "went to work" yesterday, but today she gets to stay home and be spoiled.  She is very fortunate to be owned by Pam, who takes excellent care of her dogs.
