South Pinellas Puppy Raisers: March 2012
http://southpinellaspuppyraisers.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 11, 2012. Tyrone Square Mall February 28. Our Tuesday meeting in February brought us to Tyrone Square Mall, where we gathered in – or maybe I should say "took over" – the central court to begin. Here's Popi with Ric and Betty Jo. What a good boy! And here's Mars with Larry and Gabrielle, acting all innocent just before emptying both bladder and bowels in the mall. There's a reason we travel with cleanup supplies! Tampa International Airport February 11. Once we got in the terminal, we took ...

Storyteller: Trevyn Clint Farley
http://nancy-storyteller.blogspot.com/2011/07/it-started-out-like-any-ordinary-day.html
That, anyway, is what I have learned . Saturday, July 16, 2011. It started out like any ordinary day, but what happened changed our lives forever. We lost Trevyn Clint Farley, a beautiful 4 year-old son, grandson, great-grandson,nephew, cousin and friend. Our lives will never be the same. There were so many people there to support Shinny, and were there because they loved Trevyn so much. Trevyn's dad was there, too, looking as lost as I've ever seen a man look. But in all of that tragedy, I saw a patchwo...

Storyteller: Remembering Trevyn
http://nancy-storyteller.blogspot.com/2012/07/remembering-trevyn.html
That, anyway, is what I have learned . Sunday, July 15, 2012. One year ago today, Trevyn Clint Farley flew to the heavens, and changed our lives forever. He was just four years old, and so very beautiful, with big brown eyes and the longest eyelashes I've ever seen. How does one describe a truly broken heart? The day of the accident is still so vivid in my mind. It WAS an ordinary day. Then Rick called and told me that Trevyn had been in an accident. A chest of drawers had fallen on his head,...When you ...

Storyteller: January 2011
http://nancy-storyteller.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
That, anyway, is what I have learned . Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Forever Can Never Be Long Enough For Me. Forever can never be long enough for me. Feel like I've had long enough with you. Forget the world now we won't let them see. But there's one thing left to do. Now that the weight has lifted. Love has surely shifted my way. Today and every day. If I ever get the nerve to say. Hello in this cafe. Together can never be close enough for me. Feel like I am close enough to you. Now that the wait is over.

Storyteller: August 2012
http://nancy-storyteller.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
That, anyway, is what I have learned . Saturday, August 25, 2012. Tristan and Tanner are a year apart, but they are like twins. They mirror each other in unique ways, because they are so opposite in their personalities. I've loved having a camera at hand over the years just to capture the many different crazy-fun things they've done. They have brought me so much joy. July 4th was the day before Tristan's surgery. Tiffany asked me to take some family pictures. I was afraid. Would they be sad? Tristan walk...

http://nancy-storyteller.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
That, anyway, is what I have learned . Sunday, November 29, 2009. I Thought I Saw Her Face In Mine. A couple of months ago, I was brushing my hair in the bathroom. As I looked in the mirror, I suddenly saw my mother's face in mine. It was a powerful moment. I got goose bumps as her face disappeared. Was it really Mom, or was it just my imagination? It doesn't matter, because I felt her with me. I miss her so much. I never wore lipstick. That is a very odd fact, being one of my mother's daughters....Not l...

http://nancy-storyteller.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
That, anyway, is what I have learned . Saturday, September 4, 2010. The Names Have Been Changed To Protect The Innocent. One of Mindy's friends told me a story that made me laugh so hard, I cried. A bunch of boys were going on a Scouting trip. They were in the back of a truck that had a shell cover. There were windows on the shell, so the boys could look out while they traveled to a camp in the canyons. The boys were horrified (can you IMAGINE? I guess the reason it strikes me so funny is that I know the...

Yellow, Black and Gold: The Head Halter: A Love/Hate Relationship
http://yellowblackgold.blogspot.com/2014/01/head-halter-lovehate-relationship.html
You can change lives when you volunteer as a puppy raiser for a future guide dog or service dog. Just be aware that the Puppy Raiser Road twists and turns; it climbs and coasts. So what's around the next bend for Piper and me? Friday, January 17, 2014. The Head Halter: A Love/Hate Relationship. Piper in Hobby Lobby picking out dog bed material. For a dog the Gentle Leader works on a similar principle. The leash is attached to the nose loop, and when the dog pulls away from the handler, pressure on th...
