Oh my!  Procrastination is not my friend.  Ok, sure there are those times when it pays to procrastinate, you know when you put off washing your car and it rains.  Most of the time for me, anyway, I regret not getting starting or not finishing up a project.  Let's take for example this blog and my dear doggie Sophie.  I was so excited to get her.  She was born on my birthday in 2011 and she was a beautiful puppy. My dear mother named her which to me, is a sentimental story in itself. 
    My husband and I decided it was time for a puppy even though we had two other dachshunds, Rommel and Oscar.  Rommel was a red short haired mini dachshund we found at a pet shop back in December 1999.  Oscar, a beautiful and sweet long haired red mini dachshund, needed a home because his former owner could no longer keep him.  Rommel was 12 years old and grumpy and Oscar was only 3 years old and full of energy.  Did we need another dachshund?  No, but we really wanted one.  I searched online for dachshund breeders and found one close by and saw a picture of a female puppy and fell in love.  We decided to get her, a beautiful dark red piebald long haired mini dachshund, a very unique dachshund with soft chocolate brown eyes.  I couldn't wait to tell my Mom about the little sweetie we found and discuss with her dog names.  We thought of Lucy and Greta but they didn't seem just right.  Later Mom called me back and said she had read a story about a German girl named Sophie and she thought it was a cute name for a dachshund.  Eureka!!  Perfect!!  I was so excited and so was Mom.  She had found the perfect name for my new little fur baby, Sophie.  My new little doggie became Sophie.  Thus I thought it would be so much fun to start a blog and chronicle Sophie's days and tie them in with my thoughts of which I have many.  
   Two years later I lost my Mom to lung cancer and I still had not started this blog, hence a time when my procrastination was a regret.  I spoke to my father a couple of days ago and told him I was going to start my blog and my first post will be up on Wednesday, June 18, 2014, so here it is.  I did not procrastinate, yeah!!  What was different this time was I gave myself a deadline and told someone who made me accountable.  Now I am telling all my readers that I am going to be consistent posting on this blog three times a week.  I am thinking Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday sound like a good start for me.  What can you expect as a reader of this blog?  Well Sophie and I will tell you about our thoughts of the day and share a couple of pictures.  So join me and share your thoughts of the day as we all conquer that stubborn sometimes bad habit of procrastination.  

I love quotes and here is one:
