Radar

Radar is one of the main characters in my book, "Bailey's Cave Adventures." He is a black lab seeing-eye dog for Bailey, the brown bat w/o sonar.
We actually had a black lab named Radar some years ago. He was a great dog! When my boys were little we were looking for a lab and went to an Animal Shelter. He was a full-grown dog stuffed into a cage so small he couldn't stand up all the way. We took him for a walk and found that he was obedience trained already.
We got home right at lunch time. I was trying to get the boys to sit down and quit running around the house. Every time I put out my hand to quiet the boys, the dog would sit down. Poor guy was up and down, up and down over and over again until I finally realized what he was doing. He was obeying my hand signals! He seemed to know what I wanted him to do w/o me having to say a word, he just sort of read my mind. So, we named him Radar, like the character in the TV show "Mash".
I have more Radar stories to tell. Will continue another time. Still love ya' Radar!

"Bailey's Cave Adventures"

Hi, I'm Nina! I know you are asking what kind of Blog Name is "Fontasauras". Well, it tells quite a bit about me...an author who didn't exactly start in her prime. I have a published book of curriculum titled, "Bailey's Cave Adventures." Bailey is the main character, who is a brown bat born w/o sonar, which makes flying rather interesting for him. His best friend is his seeing-eye dog named "Radar", who is a black lab and represents the Holy Spirit.
More later!
