It’s Dackel Princess’s First Anniversary! So today my Thursday Thirteen is themed on this.

Thirteen things I have learned since I started writing on Dackel Princess.

1. One must always try to find the humor in ones day. Even if the event is the dog getting car sick in your lap!
2. It pays to proofread each post carefully. With the slip of a spell check a sentence that should have been totally harmless read “Fritz was so wonderful in the car after we gave him a tranquilizer, that now I will bed the Verterinarian for more.” (Can you see my red face?)
3. Although diets are never fun to be on, they sure are fun to joke about!
4. Dogs provide an endless source of both comical and heart breaking things to write about.
5. Husbands or signifigant others can do the same.
6. There is something about writing down your thoughts that helps to sooth the soul.
7. And there is something in the consolation of others that helps to heal you.
8. I have found I can write and tell the stories of my life and people are interested.
9. I have also found that I have a lot to say. (A surprise to me, but not to my family, who claim that I never am at a loss for words)
10. I’ve learned that I do not say good-bye well, but I can survive it. It just never gets any easier, does it?
11. That life is full of ups and downs and sideways! What is the most important is just learning to go with the flow.
12. The written word is wonderful, but sometimes a picture can say a lot more.
13. How grateful I am, each day when I write my posts and see that you all have stopped by to read, to look and to just say HI!

Thanks for making my first year as a blogger such a wonderful and happy year for me.

  1. So was the vet any good? 😉

    as for 9; here’s a way we’re nothing alike…I don’t have much to say and sometimes I wonder why I even blog.

    Loved your list, cuz!

  2. Happy blogiversary!!! I’m not sure how long I’ve been reading, but I’m glad I started. Your stories are wonderful, well written, and sometimes heart-wrenching, but I can always tell that you put your heart into your posts.

  5. It is really a year?
    I loved the list! You are a talker, Sis. Hey remember all the bedtimes when we were kids and you wouldn’t stop talking so I could go to sleep?

  7. Hi there….love the list & hope you spoil yourself to celebrate the anniversary 😉
    I particularly like the correlation you draw between men & dogs lol

  9. Happy Anniversary!

    You’re a good dog mommy for bedding the vet for drugs – you do what you have to for your babies! 😉

    Very wise list.

  12. I find myself reading your blog and checking daily to see your German posts. what a wonderful 13 though. Especially about saying good-bye. It never does get any easier (and I’m only 24!)Thank you for doing this for over a year!

  13. If you put a gun to my head and said “Choose 3 of the 13,” I’d go with 8, 9, & 13, even though I connect on all of them, except for bedding the Vet, which has never crossed my mind. Hmmm! Naah! Anyway, good thing you are a nice person who won’t force me to choose.

    Well said. Happy blogaversary ….

  15. You speak a lot of truth here…I’m relatively new at this blogging thing, but I totally agree!

    Thanks for a thoughtful list.
