Goin' for a dog walk...
Whew! I feel better...Annik set me straight - Cher's celeb bio has her listed as 5'8"...THAT sounds more like it!
How tall is Cher? 5'4"??? I thought she was 6 foot! Anyway, enter your height and compare yourself to famous folk...my biggest surprise (other than Cher) is that they say Elton John is 5'3"...? what????
You'd think a dog would know 'how' to walk, but for some reason, our dog thinks its fun to pull your arm out of its socket...she likes to walk at the same pace a horse likes to run the Kentucky Derby...so even tho I pull back on her collar, that doesn't help, and she just gets dejected and looks sad...
how is it that I can't master how to walk a dog simply? She's not a stupid dog, she knows what she's doing, she just goes ahead and does it anyway...I seem to live with a house full of that behaviour...
I finally got around to working on the Mosaics yesterday...not finished, but a couple sets are done, a few more to do today...
Metalsmithing went well, I learned how to make a simple ring, solder it together, bezel set a stone (its actually a half of one of my own beads), and next week I think the piece will be soldered together and shined up...I'm gonna need to buy a few more weeks of class, I'm sure...just when you 'get going' on a project, the 3 hours are up and its time to come home...I have a few tools here but not enough to just pick up and keep soldering on my own...but one day my pretties...one day I shall have a studio that I built and made my own...and then...just wait...
So, now I have a dog who's been walked, but it wasn't far enough, so she's still full of energy and won't leave me alone..looks like I'll be making another run around the neighborhood...run...heh...like I could move my fat rear fast enough to be considered a 'run'...bah...

Wew! What a thrill, Donna. I wrote down 1.63 and "it" hit me right into the face ... Adolf Hitler ... a nightmare ... than I saw Ben Affleck ... hmmm --- everybody seems so much bigger ... and ... why am I comparing myself with some guys ...? (who is Billy Barty ... a little dwarf ...?)
Cher is having my size ... ok ... I'm not going to see the doctor again within this week ... hehehe ... gaining size with a few ribs here and a few ribs there ... ;-)))
That was a lot of fun. Hope you'll get a hold of your 4-legged LADY.
See you, PEtra

Hey, Donna--
Big dogs need more exercise than a stroll. You can walk little dogs and they have to really move those legs to keep up. Big dogs just drag you around trying to get more exercise at the level they need. My DH always "bikes" our dog(s). He pedals the bike and holds the lease (sometimes) and the dog runs fast to lead or keep up with him. Eddie, the dog, loves it! If my DH takes out the bike, Eddie goes nuts for a good run. The vets have always complimented us on the healthy lifestyle and fitness of our dogs. Consider a bike ride instead of a walk for Lady.

That would be leash, not lease. A lease wouldn't do much for the dog. He owns the place anyway!
