Thanks for posting that! Yes, dogs are amazing creatures, and great dance partners as well, it seems =).
The dog did better than my husband would have (he always says he only has rhythm from the waist up =), but then I probably wouldn’t have done as well as the lady either. (We were both ‘dance deprived’ growing up–against our ‘religion’, ya know =).
Thanks for sharing. Jasper might have a chance of learning to dance, but Bruin…well, you know what they say about ‘old dogs…’

That’s amazing!! I thought my dog was incredible. It would take forever to teach her how to do that – of course – I was never allowed to dance myself, so I’d need to be taught first. 😆

I think dogs have a similarity to humans in that it is truly amazing what a little love and dedication (kind discipline) can bring out in them both that goes far beyond what the ‘norm’ (i.e. most of the rest who sit around bitching and bellyaching and wishing and wanting instead of doing) ever achives on their own.
Michelle and D i’m sure your dogs ARE incredible and i don’t think it would take as long as you might feel.
But like humans – they all have their own unique ‘talents’ and it is probably best we encourage them to bring their own out – and also ours in us. 🙂
We all have much to give.

I aided at first for 1st grade. the i was an assistant to a 1st grader, Alex Ann, who had cancer. It was in her hip. They had to remove her femur bone (her whole top half of her leg) then reattach the bottom half (at the knee) but they attached it backwards so that her prosthetic would bend right. So her right leg consisted only of her knee to her foot and her foot was backwards because her heel would become her new knee. Follow that??? Anyway…it was just Alex Ann and me all day. i taught her, I played with her, I took her to the bathroom. We got very connected. Then we lost her right before her 7th birthday. She’s dancing on BOTH legs with Jesus now!!!!
Then the next year i co-taught a 1st/2nd grade split of Behavioral Learning Disability Students. In came the burnout! I was also very sick then but not diagnosed!

That’s good training – I’ve learned much through Phat – he had a sad upbringing but stayed positive. I think much of it has to do with temperaments…I’m more the artistic, melancholy type. My weakness is pessimism, so I have to search the mind of God on a subject to stay above my flesh…

i understand, totally, being an artist myself. it is a battle daily. look, i dont want to paint the picture that i never struggle. in my “private” thoughts i do battle with the Lord and my flesh daily. it is a a long process… i have an eternity to go! Im so glad to know people like you, Love, Bran, Darla and so many others who help keep me grounded and rooted!

This little community has helped me tremendously – I don’t know how much longer I could have gone without connection…I need people and I need to think through my thoughts. Sometimes I wonder if I’m too public, but it was God’s idea to start the blog – I knew nothing about it and it didn’t sound like much fun to me – I’m glad I was wrong!! 😉

300++ comments and finally, I got to read everything.
You guys made me LOL. Love your comments!
It’s now 10:20 Phil time, and Australia is just two hours ahead. So I don’t think our dear blogger is still sleeping.
Maybe he’s at work. But, as someone had asked (can’t remember who), what does he do?
Also, I’m wondering, is he BRAINDRAIN? I clicked on the link braindrain in his blogroll few weeks back. The humor in braindrain’s blog sounds like him…

I admit to ambivalent feelings about posting it wholus-bolus here, Tam.
It is all ‘out there so i don’t have issues with repeating it personally, however would anyone tape their conversation with three close frinds discussing ‘personal stuff’ and play it on the radio?? i would feel a slight ‘betrayal of trust and confidences doing so – and also feel like some people might see it as a kind of ‘bragging’ – not that such people’s uninformed opinions are reason for me doing or not doing a thing.
This was very special and something i have not seen on any other blog (to this wonderfully total extent!) I would not like to do anything to ‘cheapen’ it in ANY way – real or imagined.
I am happy to transcribe it for those who would like a copy (of the participants for preference and never to anyone else without permission of all concerned)
And you should save your sympathy about thunder and rain for those who may need it – I’m cool! 8)
