I know what you mean. My Mom is a food nazi cause my Dad is diabetic. In the middle of surgery for a kidney stone, he had a heart attack. He had a triple by-pass within a month.
The men in his family generally die you of heart problems.
I am an involuntary jogger. I adopted a Rat terrier in November. When I walk her, I TRY to keep up!
LOL, I used to have an adopted Jack Russell Terrier and he had so much energy that I would hold the leash up in the air and he would just run circles around me all the time we were walking. He was 18 years old when he passed away. He was a good dog.
