Just 2 years in Colorado — Ash is a homeowner, planning a Rocky Mtn wedding AND just scored a brief morning spot on local TV.
Crazy proud of this kid. Thankfully did not inherit my self-promoter gene. Ash’s TV spot brings attention to a cause close to her heart — finding forever homes for homeless pups. AMAZING lady, go Ash!
Ashton • Ok so I probably don’t have a career in news but the pups looked great! Go to www.dalmatianrescue.org if you are interested in adopting!! — feeling relieved.

Dog Name: Mia
Age: 4; Color: White; Gender: Female
Current Location: Denver, CO
Listing Date: 1/10/16
Mia gets along great with the other dog in her foster home (about the same size). She’s a little timid with larger dogs but has never shown any aggression. Her foster mom would firmly say she is not cat friendly, she definitely likes the “chase the kitty” game at her foster house. She LOVES playing with toys (tug of war and fetch are favorites). She loves to toss them in the air and lay on her back with them. She is very food motivated for tasty treats and is working on basic commands. She is a pro at “sit” and “down” and working on “paw”. She walks on the leash well but would probably do better in a front-pulling harness because when she’s on a walk it is her JOB. No time for stopping and sniffing. She has started going to open space in the morning to burn off some energy and she can FLY. She listens very well though and we haven’t had a problem calling her back – just keeping her in hearing range 🙂 She loves to snuggle and just be by your side. Sleeps well through the night in her crate and is potty trained. Haven’t tested her with kids because we don’t have any but she’s very people friendly.
UPDATE: February 5 • Ashton • It was a little challenging with our kitty but Mia is moving to her forever home tonight! That’s a successful 2/2 challenging fosters. So happy she will be a spoiled princess in her new family. Makes it all worth it!

Home for the Holidays
Since Ash & Tom migrated West 2 years ago, have landed a mighty good place for the holidays. This year celebrated ‘1st Christmas’ in their new Westminster home.
Lucky in life, super grateful.
Traditionally, holidays can be a difficult time of year. Reflecting, memorializing…remembering ‘the good ole days’. Empty nest syndrome.
TECH up, Gen Xers – think, what we didn’t have in 1980? iPhones, iPads, FaceTime, Skype. Face-to-face, real-time communication ‘cross multiple time zones. This is the stuff Disney only imagined in his Carousel of Progress. Folks, we’re there!
Opened presents with family LIVE at 10, noon & 1 – FAAANNNTASTIC!
Blog Familia: Love & appreciate ya’ll 🙂 Hope you feasted BIG, felt spoiled & shared lotta laughs with friends & loved ones. Merry Christmas & God Bless!

Patti Labelle: I’m Christmasing with You
Another year to give thanks – grateful I lead such a blessed life.
Good health, great friends, amazing family & even more new life adventures. Completed 30+ marathons in 30+ different states this year. Marathon’d the deep South, Midwest, the Great Plains, Pacific West – then 10 weeks up & down the East Coast. Biggest pre-race adventures? orca whale watching in Washington’s San Juan Islands (seaplaned from downtown Seattle), hiked Mt Hood & Crater Lake in Oregon, zip-lined at 8800ft in Angel Fire NM. Saw soooo much FAMILY. Whatta crazy FULL year!
Shared Thanksgiving Day feast with Ash & Tom in their new home in Westminster – along with Ro & Marty (our fur babies). For this I’m most thankful. To my Blog Family: God Bless & Happy Thanksgiving 2015!
