Wow! I am just so delighted that my Secret World of Whippets lens at Squidoo won a purple star badge. According to Squidoo, it's a really good honor to have.

I have to say that today's show was one of the best shows I have ever done! We had a special guest on who is involved as a volunteer for Whippet Rescue and Placement in Florida. After putting my show on hiatus for a while there, I think we came back with a bang. It was the most sucessful to date when it comes to live listeners. We even had one in the chat room.
