My Shadow/Wolf

I've just posted a picture of my Shadow... a 2 y/o male German Shepherd/Malamute mix (would that be a Galute?) rescued from marvelous Chicagoland German Shepherd Rescue.  I love this picture of him --quietly enjoying a tranquil day on the Kankakee River. I'll post more later -- pictures of his handsome regal face (he's a beauty!). 

Yes, when I created Wolf -- an important character in my book "January Moon" -- I had Shadow in mind... but most especially Hiway and Carrie Ann who were left for dead... there stories merge into Shadow and then he morphs in Wolf and he speaks for all...

Rescue, rescue, rescue... the animals and the angels (aren't they one and the same) will thank you!

I remember pen pals...

Yee gods... well, here are my initial rants as I drag myself kicking and screaming into the Brave New World of Social Networking... I'm building a web page (well, I'm trying to anyway), re-activating my Facebook page, jumping into Twitter and now wallowing in the blogosphere and you might ask "why?" -- Good Question!  (You'll see; just hang in there please!) In the meantime, I remember the thrill of waiting to receive a letter back from some faraway place... does anyone remember what it was like to have a pen pal (or pals) in foreign countries or even faraway parts of the U.S. anymore?  Or are all those people now dead?
