First - I will not be holding my Saturday morning class at All One Yoga tomorrow, Feb 13.  I will instead be helping Amy apply a finish to the new wood floors that were just installed last week.  If we have as much fun finishing the wood floors as we had tearing out the old carpet & tile floors, it will be a blast!

Second - something has come to pass that I would have never dreamt of.  My mother had been afraid, nearly phobic, of dogs her entire adult life.  When she was 17, she was bitten on the rump by a dog.  The dog belonged to a friend of my father's, but she didn't know my mom... and had just had puppies.  Over the past 10 years, with the help of Jojo, Pepper, Tressel, and also my friend Brenda's dog Buster (rest in peace, Buster), she had become to accept dogs are not vicious. 

This past weekend, my parents adopted a dog from PAWS.  Her new name is Autumn.  She went home on Wednesday, and is getting along famously with everyone - especially Mom!
