A Tale of Hobbies...

RABlog Week Day 4 Thursday - Hobbies: Hobbies are healthy or maybe they are not? What is your hobby and how does it help with your autoimmune conditions? If you do not have a hobby, imagine a great hobby for a person dealing with RA. 
Trevor, The Tell Tale Dog

My biggest hobby is ultimately being creative, while spreading awareness. I like to use pictures to describe, what I am trying to convey.

My blog got a big face lift in 2011, when Brenda's Brainstorm added a storyteller, named Trevor, The Tell Tale Dog. I thought having tales with a golden retriever's point of view, would be fun and creative.

It turned out to be much more, than I ever dreamed possible. He became not only a big part of my blogs posts, but also inspirational messages. I am going to share the life of Trevor in pictures, that I have taken and also worked with graphics. I really enjoy bringing him to life, not only with blog posts, but with pictures as well.

As I write this, today has not been a stellar day, RA wise. I am in massive pain. RA is just a part of my life, but it will never have me. Becoming creative started after my brain tumor experience, as my blog was originally titled: Brenda's Brainstorm.

I hope you enjoy these photos. They are spreading awareness for both arthritis and brain tumors.

What are your hobbies?

~Brenda~

Tale of a Golden Hero

Hello my fellow readers! It's Trevor pawnouncing our very first ever "BARK OF THE MONTH" recipient. Each month, we will feature one canine, deserving of this honor. So put your paws together and wait for it! BOL It is with great pleasure that we pawnounce this month's "BARK OF THE MONTH" the pawmazing Reser. You may have seen him hanging around, with his golden bros ParkerPup and little Gill. Reser is a 5 year old male golden retriever. He is one of 3,000 enrolled in the Morris Animal Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, a groundbreaking study that should provide some insight into cancer in dogs. For golden retrievers this is especially important, as they are at a higher risk for developing cancer. Reser is truly a golden hero in our eyes. He also works alongside Parker to help raise awareness. I got some of this info, from the back of  Parker's calendar. BOL Brenda has been getting those every year, since she started following his page on Fac

Tale of a Golden Legacy

Hello, my fellow readers. It's Trevor with our first blog post of the year. We want to pay a special tribute to ParkerPup, a therapy dog who went to The Rainbow Bridge this past Saturday. We first want to send our heartfelt condolences to the McFarling family. To Dan, ParkerPup's human dad and Jenn, who Parker, always referred to as his girl. We realize that Parker did not speak, but neither do I, but still manage to tell pretty good tales. BOL Reser and Gill the 2 golden brothers left behind are probably wondering where did he go? Reser is a golden hero and will continue to do his part in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study through the Morris Animal Foundation. A study of 3,000 golden retrievers who enrolled to hopefully find out why 60% of this breed ends up getting canine cancer. This is a fact that Brenda and I were not aware of. We've learned so much about golden retrievers in general and that is all thanks to ParkerPup's page on Facebook, that Brenda discovere

A Tale of Golden Connections...

Hello my fellow readers, it's Trevor with our September tale. This has been a week of celebrations. 2 very special golden retrievers that Brenda has connected with through social media had their Barkdays. BOL That's what we call them in dog lingo. Brenda also had a celebration herself. She officially became a twelve-year brain tumor survivor. She belongs to a special group of survivors, named the #12yearclub.  Brenda shared a beautiful story over at ParkerPup's Posse, another group we belong to. I say we, because they welcome me also. After all, I'm one of them, sort of. BOL  Gill who is ParkerPup's youngest brother and following in his big brother's paws as a therapy dog, celebrated his Barkday on September 7th. He turned 4. I remember when they brought him home as a puppy. That video was so cute. Gill lives with his human father and mother.  Reser who also celebrated his Barkday on September 9th, is one of the 3,000 heroes, enrolled in the Golden Retriever Lif
