Getting Started

I confess to little knowledge of the wonderful world of blogging. Inspired by my daughter who has recently begun her "superfluous miscellany" blog, I thought I'd try what seems to be a form of online journaling. So, first a name: CanineGranny. Why? With 6 1/2 dogs and 6 grandkids I think they are a big part of who I am, and I like the way it sounds. More importantly, at some point a fellow dog breeder referred to her dog, who was an actual caninegranny, as a "retired brood bitch", and that title is one I have mentally adopted for myself. But since the "B-word" has been hijacked for use by baggy pants wearin' pseudogangsters, I didn't want to put it in my blog title. But, when you read CanineGranny, please think RetiredBroodBitch. Enough for now...
