Dear Tammy,

I can relate to your problem, you standing at the bar eating your lunch
while every available chair is in use.

At my house, I have lost weight BECAUSE, every time I sit down to eat,
I have to divide the last piece of my sandwich into five pieces, three
dogs, two cats, all at my feet, all waiting for a taste. This is a
quarter of the sandwich.

I no longer sit on the couch, with the big shepherd on it, with her
nose out straight on one end, and her tail out straight on the other,
there is just room enough for her buddy, the cat,. who sleeps in a
ball, or she would be out on the floor with me.

When the shepherd was sick, after a shot, she refused to eat. SSOOOOO
Mom fed her off of her plate with a fork. She gently lifted each piece
of meat off of the fork, and the look in her eyes said she was
grateful. Mind you, she was in to danger of expiring.

We have two Nail Salons in town, and they can make no nails an inch
long, color what you have or stick artificial nails your fingers in
every colors there is, do a French manicure, and put pictures in
sparklies on your nails.

We do visit the nails lady, the Pet Nails lady, as I figure the French
would be upset if I cleaned the litter box with one of their manicures,
and my ferrets would be VERY upset if I dropped sparklies in their
litter pans and when the sun hit it it winked at them.

So we do our nails here, theirs at the groomers, all three dogs, that
is 12 feet, and I have a neat brush I got at the dollar store. Does a
really good job of cleaning under the very short nails.

Why do I do it? You know those Animal Rights people? You must have
heard of them. Well, if they ever get the laws passed making people
accountable for how they treat their animals, I for one do not want
to be found short.

Keep up the good work - calories you eat standing up do not count.
