Hey Joe! We look like twins!

Yeah, but my collar makes me more handsome.

You guys, always posing…lucky they didn’t get you when you’re licking your…

Sue! That kind of comment is not necessary! Think of the puppy up front…

Aww that makes no never mind to him, he wouldn’t understand, he’s too young, said the old man in the front, his mottled fur showing his age.

Are we ready yet? Is she taking the picture now? Huh? Huh? exclaimed the beagles, always a hyper lot.

Settle down guys, and stand still so she can snap it, said the golden retriever, always a kind one.

Hey! You recruits in the back, fall in, said the Rottweiler in the front, an old army service dog.

Joan hated Christmas shopping. Her husband Pete loved it. He took their children to the markets to find out what they wanted for Christmas and they grew up sharing their dad’s enthusiasm for the holidays. Knowing his wife was tired of all the hoopla about the season, Pete decided to surprise her. He told the children to keep it a secret, but they were too excited. When the five of them stopped in the small local market, they couldn’t hold it in any longer. “Mommy, we’re going to buy presents! Do you like this”, holding a fancy silver carafe.

Chinese Dragon

The Chinese history of dragons starts in 3000 BCD and looks very different from European dragons. It breathes breath, not fire. First of this legend is Yan Emperor (炎帝 Yándì), a legendary Chinese leader from pre-dynastic times, who was born of an encounter with a powerful dragon. Later, he partnered with Emperor Huang Di and together they conquered their enemies, unified China and, according to myth, pioneered Chinese civilization. The dragon is significant and often in parades. The belief is dragons bring prosperity, bountiful harvests and good health.

The Writer’s Workshop

Something I learned in November was I can’t believe everything my doctors say or what they prescribe to be right for me. My job as a patient is to be my own advocate, speak up, question and basically be a pita when they only want fifteen minutes. Multiple issues need to be researched at reliable medical sources. My doctor I like, but he can’t know or read everything, whereas I have plenty of time. I’m not saying be obnoxious and demanding, but do get your questions answered. I’m lucky to have a doc that will do that.
