This is my version of footprints in the sand,,,,could it be a bear has wondered on my island? Not really,,just Bingo the sheperd. You think with a name like that he would be friendly. He is leary of strangers and hates other dogs. He has bitten a few cousins for running,,,he thought they were muggers. And a few of the cousins dogs,,right now he is plotting how to remove the fence from the neighboring yard and go after the pit bulls there. My neighbor has 2 and one old golden retriever. The first 2 weeks when he got the last pitbull,,was constant barking,,and growling at me every time I was in my garden. Wonder what the life span of a pitbull is,,,sure hope it's not more than a year. I really can't stand them. My favorite is a sheperd or a lab. Are last lab was part great dane,,,big and friendly......I invested in a exercise ball today. I did 50 sit ups already. Going to try to do them when I am home,,,(J) already wants me to bring it to my house,,,hello I am home,,,,the other place is just where I work. This weekend we will have his mom's party,,,I am in charge of making flower arrangements. I am just going to use Queen Ann lace and daises and black eyed suszie's. All wild flowers but I think it will be nice,,,I might mix some of my perinals in there but I really hate parting with them...Every time I go out to the garden the cat wants catnip and races to the door for me...I usually give him some on my way out the door and then it disappears,,,(J) has yet to let me know he picks it up every time. On the morrow we will head on the river for a 2 hour cruise,,if he doesn't get bored we can stretch it to 4....Now it's back to my other home,,,,,Happy Trails!!!!!##########################Several years ago, when blacks weren't allowed to attend classes or play sports at many colleges, a black guy was on the practice field showing the coach what he could do. He ran like the wind, he passed like a dream, and he caught like a professional fisherman. One of the players already on the team walked up to the coach and asked, "Coach, you ain't gonna let that black guy join the team, are you?"The coach kept watching the black guy and answered, "Look at that Indian run!"######################################################This one man comes to America from a foreign country. He is at a baseball game for the first time. While he is sitting in the stands, he sees a man hit a ball and then run. He notices everyone get up and start to scream "run." So the next time someone hits the ball he stands up and says "run ya bastard run." Now that he got the hang of it he did this every time the ball was hit. A few minutes later he sees a guy lay down the bat and walk towards first base, so he gets up and says "run ya bastard run." Every one started to laugh. He sat down in embarrassment and a man kindly leaned over his shoulder and said "he doesn't have to run." The man replied "why not?" He said "because he's got four balls." So the foreign man stood up and said . . ."walk with pride my boy!"########################################An Egyptian man is walking through the Cairo bazaar, when a stranger comes up to him and offers to sell Viagra (illegal in Egypt) for 100 Egyptian pounds."No, not worth it!""OK, how about 50 Egyptian pounds?""No, not worth it!""OK, 20?""No, not worth it!""How about 10?""No, not worth it!""Listen, these pills cost US $10 each.
