I LOVE my dog Radar.  He has the greatest personality and he is quite an amusing animal.  Radar is a soft coated wheaten terrier who turned 12 years old last weekend. His favorite snack is Lucky Charms, although I take the marshmellows out, so he just eats the cereal out of his special breakfast cereal bowl.

       Radar and I have not always been on good terms.  He was really high strung when we got him, most terriers are that way.  I had been bitten by a dog when I was four, which required a trip to the emergency room and stitches, so I have always had a fear of dogs, any size, any breed.   Radar stayed by my side after I had surgery a few years ago, and I think that was the point that he became my little buddy, and now because I spoil him, I am his favorite friend.

      This month is Adopt a Cat month.  There are so many cats and kittens that need good families and good homes.  We had a sweet kitten on Good Things Utah this week named Creamsicle.  He was orange and white and had the sweetest blue eyes.  The shelters are also full of dogs and puppies that would add so much joy to your life.  With all of the extra time that your kids are home over the summer months, now is the perfect time to bond with a friend they will cherish for the rest of their lives.
