Everyone seems to want a cute puppy or kitten while a lot of loving older animals get put to sleep.<br /><br />I do hope Babe recovers soon.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-47446900693894306852011-03-05T16:22:46.490-08:002011-03-05T16:22:46.490-08:00They have found the perfect home, I hope they are ...They have found the perfect home, I hope they are able to give each other much love and companionship.<br />Adopting from shelters literally is a life-saver.<br />You have a huge tender heart my friend.<br />Thank You.<br />Hugs,<br />~JoA Brit in Tennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080644141670903160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-89395256900104461102011-03-05T02:32:30.727-08:002011-03-05T02:32:30.727-08:00Dogs are man's best friends.

I cannot count the number of times I've simply hugged him and cried when I couldn't do anything else. There is nothing quite like the unconditional and accepting love of a dog. <br /><br />You continue to amaze me-24 laps?! I don't know that I do 24 anything (unless you count answering a toddlers' "why", which, while taxing, appears to burn no calories). I really need to get off my rear and get out there doing something. My legs are a bit sore today from carrying the baby in the backpack while I walk the dog. It's amazing what an extra 25 pounds feels like when it's not evenly distributed!Whitney Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766231420593480962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-85265803708621404132011-03-04T18:40:18.989-08:002011-03-04T18:40:18.989-08:0024 laps!!

Norma Jean is amazing and so are you.<br /><br />I DO think we understand older dogs because you and I aren't spring chickens but we pretend to be...in fact, we are!!!<br /><br />I start competing again in May. Rods, screws, plates and all!!!!<br /><br />You just plain don't stop. We all live through your hikes and beautiful photographs. I'm so glad I met you.

Since I never managed to get a job last July, maybe my cats would be accomodating? yes, no? maybe not quite yet!<br />Love those doggies.

(More on that later...)<br /><br />I got big tears in my eyeballs when I read about Babe (Precious) and Chester. What a duo! I think she needs to keep both of them. There is nothing like a sweet animal with unconditional love to fill in the gaps of grief.<br /><br />I am praying for Babe to make a fast recovery and feel good so she can soak in all the love from you guys...(I have to read yesterday's post now...)<br /><br />As for the swimming 24 laps without stopping and you are going to attempt 36 (a half mile???) What are you? BIONIC??<br /><br />I tried swimming (we have olympic sized pool at our community center) across and back twice and I was shakey, heart pounding, legs like jelly and I almost blacked out!!!<br /><br />You DJan, are my hero.

I'll be sending healing thoughts her way. <br />Hiked with the Seniors some 11+ miles. Sr. Center to Whatcom Falls, Sculpture Garden, Northridge, and back. A dry day! We missed the last 2 hikes due to bad weather. Brownies courtesy of Fred at hikes end. It will be so wonderful to have you back to walk and hike with!
