Danielle is my personal assistant.

She is also my only daughter.

I think she's a pretty special person...

She is responsible for ordering our supplies,
& doing all of the supply shopping.

It is her responsibility to make sure
that we have what we need to do a good job
 whenever we need it.

She usually has to be at least three steps
ahead of all the rest of us.......

That is no easy task.

She also assists with
Pawsitive Puppy Preschool
 
 

She assists me in assuring every department
of my business runs as efficiently as possible.

She also assists in the nursery
and is usually in charge of caring
for at least one litter during
the time she is here.

She makes sure the puppies in her care 
are nursing sufficiently, clean, dry, & warm.
She also makes sure that they have their
vitamins and supplements & any needed medication on time.

She is also responsible for their tactile stimulation, 
 exercise, play time & lots of nose kisses & hugs....

In most cases, Danielle will be the person
who will go over your paper work
when you come to take your puppy home.

She will also be the person who will be
answering your questions if you need to call. 

"ALWAYS TIME FOR PUPPY HUGS"

I don't think she can remember a time
when her mother wasn't a breeder.

She grew up with many 
puppies running underfoot.

She has seen me overjoyed when things go right
and devastated when things go wrong.

We laugh together, cry together,
work together, play together,
& occasionally argue 
like two wet hens.

We always make up quickly.

We hug alot.......
and then we go shopping.

If I've taught her anything...
it's how to shop.

She has a wonderful sense of humor
and she keeps me balanced & semi sane.

We are beginning to enter that
role reversal stage
where she thinks she's the mother
and I'm the daughter.

I know it's just because she cares...

I know when the roles are changing
because she takes me by the arm
and refers to me as "Mother".

I'm trying to grow old gracefully....
but grace has never been my strong suit.

It's sort of like the first time
a polite young man 
carried my groceries to my car
and said "Have a nice day, Maam"...
I looked around to see who the "Maam" was...
and was shocked when I realized it was me.

It's a really strange feeling.

Danielle is loving, compassionate, & conscientious.

Regardless of the roles we are playing,
she always makes me smile.

I am so proud of the woman & mother
she has now become.

Time To Swim

I am very blessed to have
such a wonderful daughter.

It is very comforting to know
that she will be following 
in my foot steps
and that what I've put
my heart & soul into
for many years
will continue.

She is not only my daughter.....

She is also my best friend.
 

*The song playing on this page
is being played with my love for Danielle.

She is well known
for leaving the house
and calling a few minutes later
just to tell me that she loves me.

*I love you more than words can express, Doodle bug...*
[And I mean it from the bottom of my heart]

I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU
By Stevie Wonder

No New Year's day to celebrate 
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away 
No first of spring 
No song to sing 
In fact here's just another ordinary day 

No April rain 
No flowers bloom 
No wedding Saturday within the month of June 
But what it is, is something true 
Made up of these three words that I must say to you 

I just called to say I love you 
I just called to say how much I care 
I just called to say I love you 
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart 

No summer's high 
No warm July 
No harvest moon to light one tender August night 
No autumn breeze 
No falling leaves 
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies 

No Libra sun 
No Halloween 
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring 
But what it is, though old so new 
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do 

I just called to say I love you 
I just called to say how much I care 
I just called to say I love you 
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart 

I just called to say I love you 
I just called to say how much I care, I do 
I just called to say I love you 
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart 
Of my heart,
...... of my heart
