December 3.
On this day in 1950, a man in the US began his national radio broadcast
career. His name was Paul Harvey. Paul’s career spanned decades and millions of
people listened to him. He told stories and often ended them with his classic
line: “and now you know the REST of the story.” Some people questioned his
stories – and like anyone in he spotlight, there were those who loved him and others, well who
didn’t!
In 1978, Harvey presented a speech at a
Farmer’s Convention – which would become a classic story called “So God Made a
Farmer.” And many years later, a pardoy
of that speech was made – this time as a tribute to us canine companions. Take a minute to watch this – if you haven’t already
seen it! Although Mr. Harvey didn’t actually DO this
tribute to us canines – I’m sure he would have approved.
In keeping with our holiday preparations,
it seems only fitting to also share an actual Paul Harvey broadcast – this one
about Christmas. My human heard it MANY years ago, and she has always
remembered it. I hope you’ll enjoy it too!

You know....I’m thinking Frodo could become a radio
broadcaster. I mean he LOVES to
talk. Hey – now THERE’S and idea. A radio station JUST for dogs….Imagine the
RACKET that would create! Mind you, I'm afraid Frodo would talk about me and how I torment him and Pax. And he would end up saying in his stories "and now you know the PEST of the story." Maybe I'll just keep that broadcasting idea to myself...
