It is one of those days where I don't want to mess with all that comes with being an internet marketer, so I am going to write about one of my greatest loves in life, dogs. I haven't had one in about 10 years now. But I have some great memories and a story at the end.

I remember my first dog, Ginger. She was half Brittany and half spaniel with reddish brown, prickly hair. At 5 years old any dog is pretty big, and Ginger was big enough to even knock me down. We played, and we played, until the sun went down. Ginger knew how to "hide" so when my brother and I played hide and seek, there was always a third player. I could never figure out how she was able to find us so fast when it was her turn to seek. And she must have learned how to count because every time it was her turn, we would tell her to stay, she would always wait until the count of 10 like when it was my turn. Smart dog. Ginger lasted most of my youth, until I was 13 when Dad had to have her put down. She was 10.

I had a dog for most of the rest of my life. They have always been there for me when I needed a friend and I have needed a friend for most of my life. Besides my wife and Jesus, I really don't have any friends. For the past 10 years I have felt a great abyss in my chest for the lack of a canine.

So, I remember and make do with my memories.

I remember a dog I had when I was active duty Air Force in Great Britain. His name was rusty and was a Springer Spaniel from a show lineage. He had a long tail which is unusual for most springers.

You could do anything with this dog. My wife, at the time, treated him like he was our son, even dressing him up in my cloths. He looked really stupid in my cloths.

Rusty was a hunter. At the time, I had a shot gun. I trained Rusty how to fetch with a "dummy". I would haul off and throw that dummy about 300 feet. Rusty would bring it to my feet every time. On average, we would bring home 5 Pheasant and 3 rabbits. I made a point not to miss when I shot. If I did miss, Rusty was gone, gone, gone! The guys I hunted with would really get pissed off at me when he did this because you would see about 2-6 more Pheasant down the field get flushed as he ran. Never could break him of the habit of running after game that got loose. And Lord Almighty, if we ran into a roe deer, he was off again! He would always come back. I would collect him and head for the car with my tail between my legs. My hunting day was over at that point.

He also like to chase tennis balls when I would throw one in a lake. He was a great swimmer.

While I was in Great Britain, I learned how to train dogs to hunt and to attack. I used to love putting on that suit. What a workout! I didn't like the German Shepherds so much, except one. His name was Jake. Jake was a lite grey and you could teach him anything.

It was his brother Thor you had to watch out for. Thor was a floppy eared red and black shepherd with an attitude. I spent more time with Thor because he was a difficult animal. He didn't like anybody but his owner and his milder brother Jake. You could tell he like Jake, because he would pretty much let Jake do anything Jake wanted without growling at him.

I would take Thor out for walks almost daily. I would use a long leash and let him roam at will. He took me for the walk usually. We would go for about 5 miles. I would enjoy the forest and fields while Thor would just walk and occasionally look back at me with those floppy ears.

Somehow, I just knew he was looking for an excuse. I am really glad I had practiced with that suit, because I had gotten used to dogs attacking me.

The first time I tried to reign Thor in, he attacked me. I gave him the fleshy part of my left forearm. He chewed for about 5 minutes with his front paws laying on it. I was so tall, he could not reach my face. If I had been smaller, he would have probably knocked me to the ground and killed me. I was not in the habit of carrying a 2X4 so I just had to stand and let him get it out of his system.

Luckily, it was winter and I had three layers on including long sleeve flannel shirt, sweater, and heavy coat. Even so, I came out with bruises up and down my entire arm.

After seeming to have had enough, Thor stopped biting, and just looked at me for about another minute, got down and we went back to our walk. I never walked him again and told the owner to have him put down, which of course he did not.

I don't know what ever happened to all of the dogs I came into contact with, but my love for them increased. I decided, after Thor, to stick with the hunters. They made better pets. I came home from Germany with my separation papers from the Air Force.

After getting on my feet, we got a Golden Retriever from one of the local farmers in South Carolina. He was big like a Rottweiler. Stormer was a lot like Rusty, the Springer accept BIGGER. I liked that because I am a pretty big man. I did not have to bend down to pet his head. He was a big male.

Stormer liked to hunt too. But we did it without the gun this time. We had kids by then and we decided that we did not want to have any guns in the house.

Stormer was different than Rusty, not as high strung. He would range about 50 feet and go no further. I remember when we would go to Pisgah Forest and walk the trails. Rusty would lead the way and run up into the woods, always checking back to see that we were following. One whistle and he was back to my heel. There was only one time when he would become unmanageable and that was when we would pass the Rottweiler across the street from us. They wanted to fight, but the fence kept them apart.

My wife at the time would walk Stormer 5 miles a day. Even so, he didn't last that long because of the heart worm damage he had when we first got him. We did have him treated with arsonic to get rid of them, but the damage was done. He was two years old when we got him. He was seven when he died. I buried him on the top of the back hill. Of course, we put a cross on the grave. My kids were emotionally in shambles for months. I miss Stormer the most of all.

I do not know if I will ever have another dog as a pet. Once you have had the best one of your life and you realize that there is a great deal of heartache when you lose them, you like to live with your pictures and memories and you just like to remember.

Enjoy your dogs while they are still here. They are as precious as children and will never leave your side.

The advertising says it’s an easy home based business, but is it really? After all, creating a successful network marketing business takes a great deal of work. For those who have never been involved in any kind of a network scheme, you definitely have a lot to learn about this type of business opportunity. It is not, contrary to what you may think, a business that will sell itself without any help from you. Certainly, once you have spent the time to build the network and have everything in place, that will happen, but it may take anywhere between six months to six years to accomplish that.

The most important thing for a newcomer to this kind of business to understand is that easy does not necessarily mean that there is no work involved. What it DOES mean that it’s easy to learn how to do the business and become successful. It is not something that is going to happen overnight, or even in the next month or two, but if you stay consistent in your efforts, you will become successful. No, it isn’t easy in the respect that you can join a network, sit back, and do nothing, but in time, if you build the network correct, it will earn money for you. At that time, you can choose to continue building the business or to sit back and reap the benefits from the net work you have already built.

Based upon the things you can be called upon to do in most other business, network marketing is rather easy. After all, you don’t have to worry about a building, office staff, inventory, or anything of that nature. In fact, with some of the online network marketing schemes, the upline or corporation handle the shipping of products for you, which leaves you free to work on the more important aspects of your business such as recruiting new members and working with those you have recently brought into the network.

How soon can you expect to see something for your efforts? That depends on you as an individual. The more effort you extend into building your business, the quicker it will happen for you. Even in network marketing organizations where the downline is placed for you, there is still training and promotion that you must do in order to keep everyone focused and to bring more people into the network. This type of business is definitely people-oriented, and the more people in the network, the more successful the network is going to be. On the other hand, since it is a people oriented business, if you do not work well with people or are not comfortable with the idea of training and mentoring those in your network, this is not the type of business in which you want to become involved.
