Some days, blog posts are handed to me, already written, proofread, wrapped up with ribbon and topped with a beautiful bow. Today was one of those days.
Once there was an elderly lady who bred wiener-dogs as a hobby. Of course we all know they are properly called Dachshunds, but in Arkansas, they're wiener-dogs, even to an elderly AKC breeder.
The old gal was downright proud of her pups. She loved to take visitors to the kennels and pick up various bloodlines to show off. Cradling a pup in her arms, she would roll him over, stretch out his hind legs, and boast, "Look at those credentials!" It wasn't his legs she was referring to.
The person relating this tale embellished that Old Gal had been married three times. I could not hold back.
"I guess she kept trying for better credentials."

Credentials are important .... so are letters, if I had left the "r" out of important, those credentials become useless.
Kathy,
Ain't THAT the truth!
