JOURNAL (DIARY) ENTRY: TRAINING the PET OWNER with YORKIE CHARLES

Gripping the door frame, while a small black fur ball runs his gray dragon squeaky toy back and forth to me, I think about new ways for us to expand on his training. The fur ball runs again this time searching for the toy. It's close to his hind feet, but he doesn't notice it.  Sometimes Charles doesn't see the toy land and has a hard time finding it. So we play a game of left/right. If that doesn't work, sometimes I have to point in the direction he should be headed. He always understands pointing.

I worry that I'll never quite get this training thing right. He clearly adores me. Placing his little paw at my feet, after finding his toy, he silently begs for me to rub his little tummy. I smile at the cute gesture and reward him for good behavior. After he drops the toy in the palm of my hand, Charles immediately rolls over and smiles while I pet his belly.

(with a few photos of Charles thrown in)

My dad is a great guy.

He hates having his photo taken. 

So does my brother... it must run in the family.

BOOK REVIEW: Winter's Passage UNABRIDGED by Julie Kagawa Narrated by Khristine Hvam View Series

"Julie loves her mini books! Great teaser."

Overall

Performance

Story

Don't forget this is book 1.5 but before this is book 1.25 the first kiss, a free 8 page mini book on scribbed of Ash's point of view of the ending scene of book 1. It's free and will take you less than 10 minutes to read. I created a short link to get you there of you can google for it bit.ly/JHUONc not sure if audible will allow that.

Anyway I enjoyed this mini story and have bought the whole series on audible though I should warn you not all the series is available in audio. Look up the series on goodreads for the full list. There are a few books still waiting to be released and some only available in print. Lots of the series is only in mini books like this one but you won't want to miss out on the story. I didn't use credits on the mini books since it's cheaper to outright purchase anything under $10, just a tip. I got mine during the extra 25% off member sake which helps even more.

JOURNAL {DIARY} ENTRY: What's New with Desarae V

What's new in the small world of Desarae V? 

Well, that's a matter of perspective. What is the time range to consider something new? A day? A week? A year? Am I making this too complicated? Probably, but then again I'm just babbling on trying to reflect on my day. 

I've been promoted. Moved offices to a window spot. Rearranged my house. Taught Charles some new tricks. Started blogging again. 

Overall, par for the course. This is my day-to-day life. 

Instead of talking about the present, let's look at some photos from the recent past...
