Day One Posting, Year 10 Loving....

I recently saw the movie Julie and Julia the other night, and in addition to learning the art of french cooking, the blogging also inspired me. At that point I decided I would attempt my hand at today's newest craze. My only question was, what passion can I blog about? Instantly I knew one of my greatest passions - my female 10 year old Weimaraner, Millie. More formally known as Honey's Whippermill Shadow.

Millie's name comes from her Mother "Honey", who weighed 85 pounds (her father weighed a whopping 110 lbs and amazingly Millie weighs no more than 65 lbs), Whippermill from a character (the judge) on Ally McBeal, and Shadow because she was constantly in my shadow from the day I brought her home as a pup back in Jan 1999. Today, she is most commonly referred to as Millie, Moo, Velcro Baby, Tinky, and of course, No!

I am starting this blog so I can fondly reflect on the many memories I have had with my Millie - the good along with the bad. From her unconditional love for me, for the many walks we've taken, to the variety of items she has chewed up as a youngster, and the countless times she has snuck into the trash, I am sure all Weimaraner owners can enjoy and comprehend these wonderful dogs' personalities and extreme loyalty they have for their owners. Even though Millie is a very healthy dog, with still enormous bounds of energy, I am also beginning to realize she is living the last stages of her life as she is about to turn 11 years old this October 2009. This Blog should give me a way to express my love and my gratitude for the wonderful friendship and companionship my dear friend has given me over the years.

Stay Tuned!
