Leadership Lesson

Tail wags, dear readers, it's me - Stormy.  Before I begin today's post, I would like to thank each and every one of you for the very kind comments you left on our blog about Ammy.  We all miss her very deeply, but are trying our hardest to find a "new normal".

One of the best things for anyone - biped and quadruped alike - is some exercise!  Yesterday was a gorgeous, sunny day, the snow was melting and we could walk on the sidewalks without slipping.  Perfect for a little stroll with Mom and the boys.  I took the lead, as usual.

As a leader, it's important to set the tone - to lead by example. As you can see, I am walking in a calm and dignified manner. The boys were behind me, but I totally expected them to behave the same way. No need to turn around to check - I trust those two!

Err... OK. I trust them to act like Siberians.

Ha roo roo roo! Nothing wrong with having a little fun along the way.

Tail wags,
Storms

    oh---we are so devasted to hear of Ammy, our dear sweet whether girl. We certainly know this kind of pain, and we understand that you do not want everyone to dwell on the sad bits of life. We were the same way with Saige. She is forever with you though, so that is something ...

    Hey Army Brats,
    It sure is GReat to hear from ya'll. We've been hoping for your speedy return. We've turned to TWC for meteorological data but it isn't as accurate as Ammy. We are being upbeat and getting on with life but there's a bit of pleasantness missing with Ammy being gone. If you're upset about the snow melting just get a hold of maggie and Mitch cuz they've got plenty and will be glad to let ya'll have some. Just to rouse your spirits let us say - GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY! (again and again and again, etc)

    Get Zim,Dave !!!! I am always attacking Flash like that on our walks, it is tons of fun.

    Way to go Stormy you are a fine leader and we would follow you anywhere.

    We are continuing to try to nice things in Ammy's honor, (although it is really hard for Remy to be nice)

    Take care all at the A04.

    Remy (and Flash)

    So glad to see you back Stormy. I guess Ammy's role of peacemaker is going to be missed, among other things.

    Hello there Stormy,

    You sure will lead the boys forward. Errr maybe with a few intermissions along the way, but hey, walks can be more fun with a few stops and bitey faces in between.

    We still think you're a great leader. Sending you and our pawrents our love!

    Love,
