Credits a.k.a. Eli's Confession
Okay, I admit it. I had help!
(I'm only a dog [albeit a very intelligent and entertaining one]. Mom told me I had to 'fess up and thank those that helped me on my site and along the way.)
My Confessions:
Please note. No bodily harm was necessary! It only damaged my ego...
| First I thank my human mom and dad. I really could not have done this site without them, or so they tell me. Mom taught me how to understand, spell and type the English language; how to pose and take self-portraits, edit pictures, use the camera, the scanner and the computer. She even taught me how to build the website. She had no choice. She was in a full arm cast the first three months she worked on the site. My paws were far more agile than her casted arm and hand. She even taught Cruiser and me how to compose letters and articles and is responsible for all of the pages not credited to others (with much input from me, of course). |
|
| Dad wrote articles, poems and songs for me; did a lot of proof reading, made suggestions for me to whisper into Mom's ear; saw what I had done, was proud of my work, and started applying for awards. He even helped me start my own Agility Aussie Club. He also played with me a lot while Mom's arm was in a cast. This did help to limber up my paws. |
|
| Mom asked me to thank the following people. |
|
| Jef & Cyd Peace for teaching Mom, offering suggestions and advice, giving her a chance to judge and ultimately the chair of the PeaceWork© Certified Sites Award Awards program, and in general having more confidence in her than she had in herself; and for making me wonderful banners. |
|
| Monika Carter of TMC Designs for enlightening Debbiemom to the world of enhanced graphics and the gift of the Memorial Flag Tribute on my Site Map.
|
|
| Sharon Krauss Crestwood Mastiffs and Kay Marks Sunny's Site for previewing my site and proof reading during various stages along the way. |
|
| To the following people that gave article permissions: |
|
| Tony Di Bartolo (my Tonydad), CA Sharp, Pam Bethurum (ASCA), Dr Gilbert Velasquez, Southern California Veterinary Referral Group, Arthur Scott & Blue, Meredith Lunn (Tri corn Acres), Sandy Case, Kathleen Cole, Linda Husson, Marcy Rauch, Kay Marks Sunny's Site, Debbie Moore, Deb Locke, Deb Furphy, Paul Stolzenburg, and Diane Richardson (Frontier Rottweilers). |
|
| To the following professional photographers for permission to use their photographs: |
|
Tien Tran (Tien Tran Photography), John Spivey (JT pawPrints), V.W. and Susan Perry (V.W. Perry Photography), Lisa Sponsler (DogAgilityPhotos.com).
To the following people that contributed to me being here in the first place:
| Al & Joan Della Rocco (Good Time) and Sharon Krauss (Crestwood), who were the breeders of my Mom's first two Aussies and initiated and contributed to her love for us. |
|
| Jean Travis (Casino), who gave my human Mom, my Stellamom when Mom's longtime faithful buddy Farrah died; and who also owns my canine dad, Jigalo. |
|
| To the following people that have helped me grow into the Aussie I am today: |
|
| Debra St. Jacques (Beauwood) and Diane Sobel-Meyer (Deja Vu) who have helped me in herding, provided me sheep to work and have had a lot of patience with my clumsy human Mom. |
|
| Diane Bauman, Ali Rukus (who knows all too well that I am FAR more agile than my human mom *G*), Diane Sobel-Meyer, Linda Husson and Barb Miller (Mom is threatening to post your High School Yearbook picture), for having assisted in the training of both me and my Stellamom in agility. |
|
| My Deepest thanks to all of you... |
