No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

It's a dog's life.......and I'd like it to be mine!

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
*
When a loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
*
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
*
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
*
Take naps. Stretch before rising.
*
Run, romp, and play daily.
*
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
*
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
*
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
*
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
*
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
*
Be loyal.
*
Never pretend to be something you're not.
*
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. (This isn't always good advice....)
*
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
*
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

The above came from my lemon tree doctor and I found it perfect to start my day---after I stretched getting up from my "big nap"!

A bit more about the eye-rolling and such with the supplements......as I get ready for bed, more pill popping takes place. Besides my scrips for Adult On-set Old Age (ahem, ahem) I also take a baby aspirin to prevent heart attacks plus a fish oil pill to reduce cholesterol. I first learned about the fish oil pills from Jean N.'s brother who went on the cruise with us in 2005. My family doctor takes them also, and I really like him, so followed his advice. They are harmless, don't taste like fish, and I really, really hate the idea of taking the scrips for lowering cholesterol!!!!
