Woman's best friends

Steve has been in Fort Bragg this weekend, but Youngest Daughter and I have been mostly keeping it together.  I've been walking all week so it was no problem getting some exercise for the dogs.

Dogs are great that way, dogs are almost always ready for a walk.  And it's great for us humans.  How many overweight dog-walkers have you seen recently?  I used to think that every depressed person should have a dog.  Dogs make you get up in the morning and get outdoors.  Research shows that folks out walking dogs have more social interactions than those who don't have such a ready made conversational ice breaker.

Just one more way to feel grateful.  Thank you, Brix.  Thank you, Demi.  Thank you, Parisse.
