A  green August .... in Montana

August 16: remember Saint Roch, The Patron Saint of Dogs, (the story tells how a hunting dog cared for him every day in the woods while he was sick)

Teton

TanaB

            God gives gifts even when we don't expect them.   I was reflecting upon the dogs I have had over the years and decided God knew just what I needed every time.  When I was at MSU college, I got a dog from a good friend an Alaskan malamute, who I named Teton,  she was the most beautiful dog I have ever had and beauty was what I wanted or needed at that time.  Then I bought a Montana Border collie when I was a new teacher trying hard to become a great teacher.  Tana B. was the smartest Border collie, and I needed intelligence at that time.  Then we acquired Dash, the sweetest dog, a blue healer at that, and I needed that when my husband went to Heaven as well as Shep, a McNab, who happens to be the toughest or have strongest will, which is what I need now.  So Thank the Lord for all your gifts even if we are not sure  what they're giving us at the time.  
thanks for dogs,  Saint Roch , and all our beloved animals.
Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift !   2 Corinthians9:15
