An update on Pips, the dog that Joellyn and I took to the University of Washington last March to join the Conservation Canines program.United Animal Friends, the animal rescue that my wife volunteers for, entered Pips' story into a contest being run by PetFoodDirect where the winning rescue gets a $5000 grant for food and related supplies.
Pips' story made the top ten which is the finals for this contest. If you have a Facebook account please go to the page for PetFoodDirect, "like" the page and then please vote for Pips--the page to vote will load onto the screen.
That Pips' story made the top ten is probably a big deal because PetFoodDirect has over 50,000 followers on Facebook.
The picture is from Clear Lake with a view of Mount Rainier as we drove Pip to the Conservation Canines facility which is actually in Eatonville. Thank you for your consideration on this.

Good post on Bespoke.
I think that with the mass of bad/conflicting/opinion-saturated news from so many sources, investors may be reactiug like a deer in headlights, often times with a bad result for the bottom line.
Your final comment on Bespoke, basically, keep adding to wealth so as to have enough for retirement is simplistic but so very true. IMO, this comes from adding streams of income from different endeavors, appropriate investing or wise spending habits (probably all three).
Investing foolishly is just as bad as spending more than you earn.
Your comments are always tempered towards being diversified, cautious and realistic. This is what sets you apart from so many others within the realm of public financial commentators.

Roger, I sincerely support your work with the dog community. Is there a way to vote for Pips without using facebook. Quite frankly, if I had a facebook account, I would be soliciting people to beat me to death with a tire iron.
T, your comment, "Investing foolishly is just as bad as spending more than you earn," is deep and is good advice. Food for thought as we dabble and try to find the next AAPL. Thank you, JCarr
thank you T! I generally prefer not to have violent ups and downs in my life and assume clients don't want ups and downs and manage to that goal.
anon, thank you for the kind word on the dog work. it appears as though FB is the only way. To be crystal clear it is my wife that does the work, occasionally I get to go along for the ride.
