Thanks, duberville!! I'm very pleased with Foster and how he's acting, for sure!!! He's just popping up, when I ask is he wants to go outside, and I cooked him a burger on the grill tonight! He loved that.

Off to let my boy out, and then off to bed! See ya tomorrow!!

He's my good boy, for sure. Still stunned that the Vet called tonight, even tho I missed the call. They just rock!

Yeppers, off to HI for my Bday, even tho my bro missed it by a year. He & his wife said we could just celebrate my 60th again. Sounds good to me. In reality (or not), I'm not really that old...hahahahaha! Hope it all works out as far as work goes, but it should. We aren't required to work on Thanksgiving. We are non essential employees...LOL! I'll find out in a few days, but haven't had a true vacation for 11 months, so it should work out.

ETA: I'm laughing at my post, as somehow, it got all mixed up as to what I typed, when?? hahahaha!! Doesn't really matter, but the last thing I typed was *Off to let my boy out....* LOL!!

Oh well, doesn't matter....

Well, tinafea, I'm impressed with your pianist. The paws exactly fit the size of the keys. We should get our dogs together. Mine is a serious, diva soprano. I don't have any videos, but I should do that. Maybe your dog can accompany mine in a Puccini aria or something.

Got this in an email today and thought I would pass it along as we await some Adam news. Enjoy!

True Meaning of Stress


A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience; with a raised glass of water, and everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'..... she fooled them all... "How heavy is this glass of water?", she inquired with a smile.

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."

"As with the glass of water,
you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced. So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night... pick them up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you're carrying
now, let them down for a moment. Relax, pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it and the now 'supposed' stress that you've conquered!"
