About Helen

I'm a Southern California living in South Florida. I've been here for 10 years as of October 1, 2007. No matter where I live, I'm a dog lover, and my breed is the Dobermann Pinscher of the Working Group. I am also fond of the Australian Shepherd of the Herding Group. My life revolves around my dogs, which is something those family members of mine don't understand. So I'm an island in that respect, but have built friendships with those who are doggie lovers and respect the canine as much as I do. Some do rescue, some train in, compete in, and judge AKC trials. The common thread is our dogs are family.

The Golden Frog

September is nearly over and tomorrow, October 1, 2007, will be my 10th year anniversary living in South Florida. Tropical wildlife continues to enchant and interest my Dobies and me.

It’s a beautiful breezy day. Let’s open the blinds and the window.

First day of a cool breeze.  Let’s open the blinds and windows!

Say what?

Say what?

Get a look at this, would ya?

A unique visitor…perhaps I won’t open the window after all.

The magic of fall.

Make your wishes! Happy October!

Play with me!

If I don’t play with her, I don’t get to finish doing laundry or weeding or picking up doo-doo.

Ignoring Raven is hard work. Have you ever tried stepping over a 2-foot 4-legged big-eyed tornado?

Foamy Snout

This is one of Raven’s looks when she doesn’t get her way. Lovely, isn’t she?

Rabid mouth Raven
She is foaming at the mouth after barking and barking and barking at me to serve her dinner first. I don’t. That’s why she looks like a rabid beast.
