Mar. 31, 2006 - Promises Made, Promises Kept
There is a pile of stuff on my desk which is related to things I said I would put in my blog. I really have been pressed for blog time lately because business has been so good. The thing that makes my business good, however, is keeping promises, so here we go folks. Today is going to be a digest so to speak, no particular subject, just promises kept.
Someone asked me what a Truth-in-Lending Disclosure is and why they receive it. The disclosure is designed to give you information about the cost of your loan so you may compare these costs with those of other loan programs or lenders. Maybe the mortgage brokers who follow my blog will expound upon this subject.
I recently met some very nice people at the dog show. One of them was Jeanne Kott from The French Bulldog Club of America Rescue League, Inc. One of her main pieces of advice was don't get a dog, or any pet for that matter, if you can't spare the time to do it right. The same could be said for a blog, eh? She also expounded on the fact that a reputable breeder is one that does not breed for pure profit, but for the betterment of the breed, and will have bred the litter for a reason. The goal should always be to improve the breed. Period! "So my children could experience the miracle of birth" or "I wanted to create another Skippy" is not a good reason for breeding nor does it make someone a breeder. Those who make their sole income on the breeding of animals or call themselves professional breeders are known as a "puppymill". And in case you are into show dogs and like Frenchies as much as I do, the French Bulldog has the appearance of an active, intelligent, muscular dog of heavy bone, smooth coat, compactly built, and of medium or small structure. Expression alert, curious and interested. Any alteration other than removal of dewclaws is considered mutilation and is a disqualification. Ok animal loves, here's your chance to pontificate. Comments are always welcome.
Finally, two of my favorite places in Des Plaines to grab a quick lunch are Don's Dock and Joey Tomatoes Cafe & Deli. I will do a more in depth review of these groovy eateries at some future posting, I have two showings this afternoon and I gotta go get pretty.
