Hi, Sheila!     All of my grade level colleagues are much younger than I with children.  One day while we were talking I spoke about hopping for my dogs.  One exclaimed, "I can't believe you spenty that on dogs!"   Well........I almost let it go and then said, "I have no children and all mybills are paid.  Besides, it gives me great pleasure to do thigs for and with my dogs!"  Now they faithfully ask about them!  Good for you, you spent the money on something important to you!

Well 2 of my dogs need shots, soooo.... Merry Christmas to them. I can't dare tell her what I'm doing with the money. She said, " Hon do something  nice for yourself!" Well taking care of my pets is doing something nice for me. As long as I keep them healthy, I am Happy!!                In a message dated 12/22/2008 9:51:34 A.M.
