DOG PEOPLE...

Dawn Boyle 

Yesterday I experienced something so bizarre, it actually made me scratch my head the rest of the day saying to myself  "did that really happen".

Greg and I were cleaning up after the party early yesterday. My kids were out with my parents at my nieces dance competition. The house wasn't bad, but the backyard was trashed, there were juice pouches all over the place. It looked like we had a kegger.

While we were outside cleaning some how my dog Patch aka Houdini escaped. My entire backyard is fenced, there is a dog run that we normally only let him use. He does not have full range of the back. I mentioned to Greg that I thought the dog escaped and grabbed the box of treats to find the escapee. I made it out my front door to only call him by name once when a rather angry woman parked across the street asked me if I was looking for a dog. I said yes. She told me to "stay right there", got into her car and pulled in front of my home. She got out of her car and started questioning me about my normal practices of allowing my dog to roam. I told her she had the wrong person. My dog is ALWAYS on lock down.

SEVEN MINUTES, SERIOUSLY?!

Ms. Jillian B. Hart

Usually I prefer to block out the world and fall into the musical fantasy land that I have created on my ipod while performing like a hamster in a wheel trapped for the ensuing miles on the gym’s treadmill.  I do however keep the TV monitor on with closed caption - more often then not to catch a closed caption of world events on CNN.  

My last visit to the gym I found myself restlessly channel surfing while the tunes cranked in my head via ear buds.  I stopped to pause on the opening of The Doctors and put the remote down when Jillian Michaels entered the set.  Being a big fan of Jillian’s and Biggest loser, for the first time ever, while keeping pace, I did the disconnect from my ipod and clicked into the TV’s audio.  I was not to be disappointed.  The panel of doctors was all of the female gender and the audience was filled only with testosterone producing onlookers.   The gentlemen proceeded to ask the feminine forum of heath experts questions regarding women that ran the gamut. The questions ranged from anatomy, cellulite, walking in heels, beauty treatments and of course SEX!
