It's been so fun I had to force myself to stop researching! Aside from reading for research, I took lessons in Canine Agility and wrote a short piece for a dog magazine, Clean Run. The lessons were so much fun, I'm still taking them and so is my hubby.

It wasn't on a subject I really liked and I really don't like being on a debate team either. So I guess you could say I really didn't enjoy that experience. However, give me something I enjoy or just researching for fun - I really enjoy that.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581507891477684938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-38699352170853977302011-09-06T14:10:11.506-07:002011-09-06T14:10:11.506-07:00I would love to read your books!
