  This is my other go to recipe. It can be prepared ahead of time. This hearty salad is great if you are busy all day and need something for supper. Make it that morning or the night before, put it in the refrigerator, then that evening take it out, toss, and yell supper. I love it for 7:00 p.m meetings where I need something to take. Sunday evening potluck, and you’ve been at church all day or with friends.

My 8 mo. old Alaskan malamute

 This is Misha. She is an eight month old Alaskan malamute. She weighs in at 70 to 75 lbs.

 She is very sweet and lovable, and would not make a good watchdog. She is more likely to lick a burgler to death.

 

 Here’s our little champion at 7 weeks. By four months she was very skiddish because she had not been socialized enough, and she also had a traumatic experience at the vet. A young tech gave her a fecal (for those of you that dont know what this is, they stick a rod in their rear to get a sample), and it was obvious that she was not doing it right. My baby was squaling, and it was quite clear she was hurting her. She tried to bite the tech. The next time we took her to the breeder’s house we got a stern lecture for not socializing her. Malamutes can be very agressive if they are not socialized early. If they are scared they will bite. So we started taking her out and about every day, and soon anyone could come by and pet her.

 She loves me, but my hubby is her favorite. They are inseparable. I think Misha is my hubbies favorite too. We have three more dogs, all shelties. I had to beg my hubby for Misha when we first got her. He didn’t even want her, and now look. They are best friends, and joined at the hip. 

 Training her has been a nightmare. We are use to submissive little compliant shelties. We have managed to housebreak her and teach her to sit. If she’s in the mood, she will sit (lol). We housebroke all our dogs by the crate training method. I highly recommend this method. It seems cruel, but in reality dogs like dens. They will cry and fuss at first, but eventually come to love their crate, if you make it a positive place to be. I had never been able to train a dog until I used the crate training method.

Misha is possessive of her crate. She growls and let’s the other dogs know to get away from her den. We have begged Misha to sleep with us, and tried to force her to. She would rather sleep alone in her crate. Go figure?

 She is a huge loveable, lumbering bear that doesn’t bark, but howls, and says woo woo in a deep voice. She has learned to hop our four foot fence. So until we are able to upgrade the fence she will only go out for potty breaks, and when we can attend to her. 

Here are my three shelties. We try to keep the blue merles shaved. It’s less work when you have four dogs.

 Our littlest sheltie and Misha are best friends. Misha loves water, and the muddier the better. Here is Misha and her partner in crime after sloshing around in the muddy lake of our backyard.

The Fellowship of the Unashamed

I’m a part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
I have Holy Spirit power.
The dye has been cast.
I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made.
I’m a disciple of His.
I won’t look back, let up, slow down,
back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense,
my future is secure.
I’m finished and done with low living,
sight walking, small planning, smooth knees,
colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking,
cheap living, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity,
position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity.
I don’t have to be right, first, tops,
recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded.
I now live by faith, lean on His presence,
walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven,
my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions few,
my Guide reliable, my mission clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured,
lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,
hesitate in the presence of the adversary,
negotiate at the table of the enemy,
ponder at the pool of popularity,
or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up,
stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ.
l am a disciple of Jesus.
l must go till He comes, give till l drop,
preach till all know, and work till He stops me.
And when He comes for His own,
He will have no problems recognizing me–my banner will be clear!!!
