Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

  Do you ever stop and take a genuine look at what is actually happening in your world? I am not talking about the politics of dancing through your neighbourhood. I am speaking about everything you see, hear and interact with during every millisecond of your existence. The perverbial   “Stopping to smell the roses.” When was the last time you simply stopped and surveyed this high tech, high energy, highly inflationed, highly strung society we have constructed? If you cannot answer this question without hesitation then I suggest you take that “ pause ” asap. Our lives have become a cascading overload of stimulation.

They were ten years old last August the 19th, 2015. They are  “Chorkies”   – A  “Chihuahua/Yorkie Terrier ” mix. Mommy, “ Ginger”  weighed eight pounds on the best of days. Daddy, “ Prince ” was medium sized. Perhaps 15 to 20 pounds. ‘The genetics of the canine species amazes me! ’ “PRINGLES ” Pringles  weighs the same as her Mom. She also inherited her Mom’s “ Chihuahua ”  bully attitude. She will hide her emotions under the cloak of aggression. The larger the opposing dog the more aggressive she becomes. (I often joke saying if she were a liquor she would be ‘Tequila’.) “ RUFFLES ” Ruffles  weighs the same as her Daddy. She has inherited the same terrier like chara...
