Do you like my new template? I'm tired of pink. Thought I'd change to green in celebration of spring and all that. It's softer on the eye. I'm slowly coming out of hibernation. I have not been in the mood to blog or go out much lately. Guess I've been a little bit depressed or down or blue or whatever ...... BUT, I feel the fog lifting and I find I want to do stuff.
Exercise is always a good place to start, and I have been going for walks with my doggie Buttercup everday. And as usual I wonder why I didn't get into this habit much much sooner. There is nothing quite like the joy of your doggie when they hear the leash and chain clink clink and they realise, it's walkies time. Buttercup just about platzes. At first I was dragging her around, because she didn't understand this walking thing and now she takes me for a WALK and I mean a WALK. I was completely out of breath after our last one. Great exercise and a great way to get up to speed with what and who and how is happening in the neighbourhood.
Sadly my kitty Bianca passed away a few weeks ago. She was fourteen years old and had a lung and heart condition. I miss her in a bad way. My wonderful friend Barb in America sent me a sympathy card. It was just about the nicest thing I have ever received. Don't get much of that here. If a pet dies, you get on with it, pull yourself together and stuff like that. And receiving that card and knowing that somebody else gets as sad about their pets illness or dying as you do touched me deeply.
