Tika sets a darn good example for me and for all of us. When we go out walking she sniffs along until she lands on some good smelling spot and then she digs......and digs and DIGS. Now watching her is darn good fun (not always clean fun; she digs in the dirt too) but since I liken everything to genealogy, I see her determination and dedication too digging and finding out what's at the bottom of that "smelly" hole as a template for how I should proceed with digging out family history. When I amble along (surfing online?) and get a "sniff" of something good, do I drop everything and go after it with all my might??? Well I darn well should and so should you? Opinions, please?
