It's because of a fortune cookie!


So this is different! I've never been one to blog...ok maybe thats an exaggeration...I blog, just no one gets to see because it was on my myspace profile and you have to be special to see!! But here everyone is special! Sooo here is my first blog...tell me what you think!


Julz is a friend that David introduced to me because her hubby use to work with my hubby. Well she got me to start going to Yappy Hour in Austin once a month with my baby girl Layla. Well her dog is a rotty and she is completely trained and has recently passed an extensive test to become a therapy dog!! HOW NEAT!!! Well unbeknownst to Julia, and before we even moved here, I had actually thought about getting Layla into Therapy Dog Training. So shes telling me all this and I just think we will never have time so I blow it off.

Fast forward to this past week. Julia tells me she would love to come and do therapy work with Mya at the Ranch. So I go through everything to get her the permission needed to come work with the residents. Finally everything is completed and turned in here there and yonder, and she is able to come to the Ranch. Well I get a call Wednesday from Patsy (Founder of Pennies from Heaven Foundation, who Julia trained under to become a therapy handler) and we end up talking about Layla becoming a Therapy Dog. I still feel a bit sceptical because I don't know if we will have time to drive to San An every weekend. So I blow it off AGAIN! I want to do it, just don't have time.

Well little birdy in my ear (aka Julz =]) keeps talking with me about it and I think I might TRY! and do it. (still feeling a tad sceptical) So Thursday, I go get chinese food from the local place thats here in town and order Sesame Chicken and get this weird Chicken thing, but I don't complain, it was for take out so I didn't know til I got home and it smelled good so whatever. I eat and clean up the house and about 9 i realize I haven't eaten the fortune cookie (who forgets the cookie?) I open it and had a heart attack.

"Pennies from Heaven find their way to your doorstep this year!"

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone get this? Pennies from Heaven is the Therapy Dog Foundation!!!!!

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea thats what it said I am FOR REAL!! I kept it!! It was a sign!! Its a sign that I have to put Layla thru therapy training!! I can't just sit around and come up with excuses not to!! I HAVE TOO! How many more blantingly obvious things do I need to have thrown at me to make me do it?

So hopefully soon Layla will begin to do training. I think we start with Basic commands and go from there. I won't be afiliated with PFHF til she passes her tests, but still! We have to start working now!! I am so excited!! Can you tell?? OMG! =] Ok off to clean!!
