"LUCK OF THE IRISH ..."

March 2012

Well, well, well!  Where does the time go?  Let's catch up!

It was my intent to wish everyone a very happy St. Patrick's Day, however that got postponed since a good dog buddy of mine had to go to pet emergency.  He is just fine, his mom is "embarrassed" and the pocket book is lighter.  But always better to be safe than sorry.

So Happy St. Patty's Day!  Did you know that everyone wants to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day?  Why?  Because the Irish never get old.  Everyone looks for the pub or parade they can lose themselves in and toss their inhibitions to the wind with the Irish saying:  "Dance as if no one were watching, sing as if no one were listening and live every day as if it were your last."  Of course, the pot of gold and 4 leaf clovers are magical too!

Well ... on to me, I have been one busy young lady.  We tried (NO, the girls tried) one more visit to Joy to try the "swimming" thing again.  I was thrilled to see her, it had been a couple months ... and she was amazed to see me and how thin I am getting and how mobile.  She was so happy, she cried.  I think that's a good thing isn't it?

But I wasn't thrilled to see the tank and knowing what was coming next.  Well I made it through the session and we agreed to give hydrotherapy up for awhile and take a break from  acupuncture for a while too since I am getting so much exercise in the field with the other dogs.  But Harmony just can't resist my beautiful loving face and I can't resist treats!!!


We are waiting until we get down to my target weight or close to it to go to the doctor to find out what is going on with the back end .... is it my knees, arthritis, an old injury or something neurological or a combination?  The scale is promising ... let's just say I'll let you in on the most current weight in a few days! 

But I bet you can tell which way its going as you watch me on the video at my last visit to see Harmony awhile ago.
