How I met my nephew, Kat's Mom
In ~ 2007, I met Kat's Mom.....Kit, through Arctic Camsters in Fairbanks, Alaska. We became immediate friends. Not too long after our meeting, I discovered she had a blog called, Dog Daze. I became her blog stalker. I didn't know a thing about blogging; however, she helped find my way to commenting. She was mom to Zach and Sassy, two yellow labs and Buddy a black Lab. She called herself Lab Lady. I cannot count the number of times she suggested that I might enjoy setting up a blog for Madi.
She was my biggest cheerleader and teacher of all things bloggie.
Kit and Lab Daddy and the 3 Labra-teers traveled across the country to Oregon many times in their wheelie house. She always sent me beautiful photos from the road. The humans and the Labra-teers were always smiling. Zach passed about 5 years ago. The dynamic duo Sassy and Buddy, whom you all met via their feline sibling, my Nephew Kat. Kat graciously agreed to make guest appearances on my blog after
Angel Madi passed about 3 weeks before Sassy passed fall 2018.
Kit I think you know how much
your encouragement turned Madi's life into that of a WWW Rock Star Diva.

As you all know, as of May 2019, my new obsession is quilting.
