pacarolsue, I hear what you are saying about the dog thing, i'm so sorry your little doggie has passed...I am alone as my hubby passed away 9 years ago and I really feel like my pets keep me going...I don't travel much anyway and family watches my 'Babies" when i'm gone...they have also promised me that if something should happen to me, someone in the 6 close relatives thjat are near me, will take them into their home..that eases my mind a lot. I guess this is turning into a "dog" column! lol keep up the good work ladies...for breakfast this morning.....two coffees with real cream, a piece of sara lee toast (7 net carbs) with butter, and a two egg omelet with abit of cheddar melted on top..will keep me thru lunch....lately I kind of have a lunch-dinner combination about 4:30....tonight I will have left over pork roast with broccoli and cauliflower and Havarti cheese melted on top....and a small glass of white wine....whats not to like? cheers!
