Fifty and Femme

Hello Everyone-My last post was about “here comes summer” and whether or not we were ready because here it is!! Guess I wasn’t ready as I haven’t found the time to communicate much, but I am always available should any of you have any questions. Anyway, hope summer is finding you healthy, wealthy and wise! Mainly, I just hope you are healthy! I did celebrate a birthday last month–57 years old or young, depending on the day! My husband treated me to a new dog as our German Shepherd of 15 years passed away last fall. This time we rescued a year old Jack Russell, Rat Terrier mix named Patty Sue. Whew! You talk about a bundle of energy-what was I thinking. No potty training for us to have to deal with and no chewing issues so that part is good, but you talk about energy! I walk Patty Sue everyday and somedays ride my bike up and down our dirt road which comes to about a mile each time. She runs along beside until her tongue is hanging out, but in 10 minutes she is ready for more!! Patty Sue does great without a leash unless there is a rabbit and then it’s like she is in a trance and I don’t exist anymore! She always comes back and like I have mentioned before, we live on a country road and have 15 acres for her to chase rabbits all she wants. It has been wonderful having a pet around and my kids says it has taken the pressure off of them having grandkids for me!! I tell you that unconditional love a pet gives you is the best and just puts you in a good mood no matter what the day has thrown your way. I would recommend it to all of you. Makes me a little younger and puts a little spring into my step. Enjoy your summer and hopefully you are finding time to eat right and get a little exercise. Pretty soon it will all be over and dark again at 6PM–what a drag. Enjoy your summer and I promise to be back sooner with some tips and answer some questions. Later, Kathy
