Willy Wonka, Linky, Dandelion Clocks, and Task Cards

Hello hello! I am feeling pretty good tonight even though I have lots of work I am going to complete, but I got a massage from a few find in East Greenbush, NY - It's called Revival Salon and Spa.  They were all so nice there!  My massage therapist was Kimber Coler, and she was such a sweetheart.  She made me feel so very comfortable and relaxed!

I wanted to share something with you that touched me about Kimber... she has epilepsy, and she has a service dog, Willy Wonka (Willy for short).  He was trained to stay with Kimber, and can even let Kimber know of signs of a seizure very early on.. one hour or two hours before it happens!  You are not allowed to pet Willy while he is on the job, because that's just it - he has a job to do.  When the vest comes off, Willy is free to play and do as he pleases.  It touched me so much!  You know how much I love animals and how I try to do my fundraising and everything, and it just goes to show you how genuine, loyal, and extremely intelligent dogs can be with the right training and care.  Don't worry Kimber does not have seizures all the time, but it is great that Willy is there! See below for an adorable picture of him :) Check out Revival Salon and Spa if you are in the area!!
 
I am linking up with Bunting, Books, and Banbridge with one of the cutest linky's I have seen.  How important it is to let our lovely friends know how much they are appreciated and how much we love them!! Check it out and link up!

    Oh, and by the way, I have 2 dogs that were from a rescue organization, and 2 cats, one from a rescue organization, and 1 that was brought into the vet that had a leg so badly mangled that they were just going to put her down. She did lose her leg, but not her life! I understand your love for animals. My e-mail is kferretti@peachtreeacademy.com
