I know they will fly. Belle and I had a great time but we’re looking forward to the holidays at home. We will return to Florida December 30 and I’m registered for a race January 1.

This week was my week. I definitely think acupuncture helped my shoulder and hip. I’ve been able to see improvement in my running and workouts at the gym. Finally, the stitches were removed from my mouth. The dentist thought everything looked perfect, which was nice to hear. He will have another dentist lined up to replace the tooth in January. I’ve been doing a lot of my Christmas shopping online. The hard part was timing shipping to arrive when I’m home. I ordered a chair from Wayfair, who assured me that once I received the tracking number, FedEx would put it on a vacation hold until I returned. Not so! After 90 minutes on the phone and speaking to several different customer service agents, my only option was to have the chair returned and purchase it later this week. I am buying this chair because Belle likes to lay behind me on the same chair when I eat. She just lays behind me and sleeps. She can’t do that on my present dining room chairs.

Next week is Belle’s turn. She has daycare, grooming and haircut and most importantly, on Tuesday, she’s taking the test for the Canine Good Citizen Certificate. This is the first step to becoming a therapy dog. I’m nervous for her. I’ve been working with her but you never know ! If she doesn’t pass, it will be my fault. She can retake it but………

Mo’s is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants here. They have outside seating. So, Belle and I are going for breakfast there tomorrow. I try to take her to as many new places as possible. We’ve walked by several times but never stopped to eat.

Love to all! (Auntie) Beverly
