Or with free meal coupons from my favorite restaurants.
I don’t need them from sales people I don’t have a relationship with.
A guy who has sent me email promotions for a year just sent me a virtual request for me to tell him when my birthday is.
I know who he is.
I’ve never responded to his inquiries.
I don’t [...]

Enough to shake the walls if it’s Raindrop.
Yesterday Raindrop supervised Daddy helping Grandma and Grandpa plant their vegetable garden.
It took hours - and was hard work keeping all the “big dogs” in line.

Given all the bragging done by UM grads, I was surprised at the letter.

What do you think?
An association I know has decided to get involved with the war on obesity - and help their members be healthier.

Overall daily consumption will be within a limited rate.
No desserts.

At the local Humane Society’s Walk and Wag.
Hi All!
Raindrop here.
Mom is busy uploading a bunch of new program information for the Chapter Leaders Playground so I thought I’d help out by writing in her blog tonight.
As you may remember, I’m a rescue dog.
