It’s Monday!
We had an AMAZING weekend at the Bloggy Boot Camp.
Now, to stay on our roll, we’ve got a great featured blogger!
Meet Louise of Raising Ivy.
I’m a happy wife and mama to two boys, eight chickens, a hive of bees and two crazy Australian Shepherds named Ivy and Revel. At age forty-two, when the first Aussie came to us, I had never owned a dog; I started the blog to tell the story of my attempts at amateur dog training, but it has become so much more. My dogs teach by example to live with joy. My readers have educated me, encouraged me and saved my ignorant self more times than I can count. In return, I try to offer some entertainment, some hard-earned insights and of course some good doggie pics!
She wants you to check these out… pretty please!
1. Leave a quick comment below to roll call.
2. Head over to Raising Ivy and leave her some support in the form of comments!

Hope I can get a copy of that movie here. Dogs are amazing souls. When I miscarried, my dog never left my side. He gave me a lot of strength. Sadly Castor died of cancer nearly three years ago, but he was with me when I needed him.

Sweet boy! Glad you had him when you needed him most.

Congratulations Louise… for being today’s Featured Blogger. Cool.
But cooler still is, you’ve decided to focus your blog more on your dog(s). Ivy must be truly special.
I’m not a dog lover. I’m sincerely a dog fanatic! So I won’t just extend happy thoughts only to you and your family, but also to the other living creatures that deserves credit, Ivy – with some love thrown in there for Revel too.
Happy SITS Day! I can’t wait to check out your blog!
