Spring is around the corner

I can't wait for the weather to break so I can walk my dogs more. The dogs do not mind the snow but it is hard walking in it and trying not to slip. I am sure the dogs are tired of the same old ball games in the backyard and are ready for exploring the outside world.

My dog is my hero

One night in July my German Shepherd dog was in my bedroom barking, it was a different kind of bark and I knew something was wrong. I immediately jumped out of bed and to my surprise my bedroom was bright orange and very warm. I looked out my back window and saw that my shed was on fire! I of course called 911 - but in the meantime my fence and neighbors shed was on fire too. The whole backside of my house is vinyl siding and was melted very badly, along with some windows that needed replaced. If it was not for my dog, it could have been a lot worse. Not only is he my hero, he is a great companion and spoiled rotten.
