Kind of a nice story about my dog. I have a 10 year old Cairn terrier, who spent the first eight years of her life in a puppy mill. When she first arrived, she was absolutely terrified of anything that made her feel trapped and did not know that human contact could be nice. At first, I could only touch her if I moved very slowly and never reached for her from above. We eventually moved on to sort of liking pets but never asking for them, and she would often get overwhelmed and have to walk away. Well, I was lying about with my preternaturally snuggly dachshund, and I felt something press up against my back. Lolly had decided she wanted to cuddle, too. For her, that is pretty big:). Who knows? Maybe someday we will even get past the maniacal widdling.

And to anyone who sent me straws, THANK YOU! It truly was an unexpected but very cheerful surprise. I love this community so much!

I have 7 out of 10 GMTs I need to make my Liberation homozygous GP!

Friday and Saturday I take the written test that is the second step in the process towards the career I’ve dreamed of. I’ve been trying to get to this step for the past two years, but never made it past the first until now. I have more hope that I’ve had in a long time.

I have an adorable little dog! I’ve had him for a month or two now. I haven’t had a dog of my own for over two years. He’s a yorkie, and I love him. He’s so smart and his training is going awesome! He walks in “heel” and sits, lays down, and stands back up on command. We’re working on going to a “place” and laying/staying, and we’ll add leave it/impulse control next. He’s so willing and so focused! He’s not real cuddly, but he likes to be wherever I am and that’s enough. Cheese is his very favorite thing.

I don't normally do the whole grandmother thing of endless stories about grandchildren, but this one might make you laugh.

My 6 year old granddaughter was facetiming with me a few weeks ago.

"What are you going to do today Granny?" she asked politely.

"I have to do some housework and Granddad is going to the gym, so while he is at the gym I'm going to do my Tai Chi dvd." I replied.

"What's Tai Chi?" was the inevitable question.

"It's a gentle kind of exercise that is good for older people." I explained.

"Yes," she replied seriously, "Because you wouldn't be able to go to the gym with Granddad because you might hurt yourself." And then she added darkly, "And then you'd have to go to hospital."

:-O

I'm only 2 years older than my husband!
