What happens after Best in Show.

So, when Dave says he is grooming, getting ready for the next day, doing paperwork, etc, after the show is done for the day, I believe him (for the most part :).  BUT while I don't really know what this video is, it appears to be recess at the dog show...

It almost looks like a cross between Simon (Dave) Says and Musical Chairs (paper pee spots on floor)

A Bump in the Road ???

I received the following from a dear friend today, and was asked to forward it to keep this in our hearts and minds.  I do not like to forward emails and figured that I would reach more people by posting it here.  
Feel free to share this.

"A Bump in the Road" - A Poem Written by a Marine Corps Officer

 

Very thought provoking and poignant.

 

"A bump in the road" .... Remember that calloused statement.

 

The President referred to the Benghazi incident as "a bump in the road."

 

Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives.  At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and of course the anchor said yes.  He then thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not.  He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.

 

The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer (ANON).

This needs to be circulated as much as we possibly can to keep it going.  I think this is the feeling of the general population and it should be pursued until something is done with the incompetent people involved who literally sat there in the White House and watched the SEALs’ execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing!

Just another example of our governments disregard for the lives of our troops.  We all see the commercials for organizations to help soldiers and their families while deployed, or upon their return.  A few days ago, I was asked by a non-US citizen:  "WHY?  Why doesn't your government help them?  In my country, the families are taken care of, they don't have to worry about losing their homes, or not having money for rehabilitation.  I thought the US would be good about that.  Very sad."  

Very sad indeed.

Prayers Requested

Please send Prayers for recovery for BRT Teach.  He was saved from a situation of living alone in a dark basement and has had a wonderful couple of years with a dear friend in Maryland.  He has had to have surgery and going into it the prognosis was good.  Today, not so much.  
He needs all of the good thoughts and prayers we can all send his way.  I am sure that his mom Lisa, would appreciate some as well. 
Thank you, dear friends.
