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!

I have MANY blogging buddies that are just so dear to my heart, that it was difficult to choose... I picked Sara Ventrella from Ms V's Busy Bees because she is such a caring, dear blogging buddy to me. I love her like a sister, and would do anything for her.  Make sure you check out her blog and become a follower.. she's a talented, darling lady!! XO
