sometimes being a b!tch is all a woman has left"

I love that movie!!

I talked to my sister last night to see how Mama was doing in the nursing home. It turns out that this place is four buildings set in a square around an outdoor courtyard. My sisters took Mama out in her wheelchair the other day, and as soon as they cleared the door two dogs came running up to them! They live there at the nursing home and greet all the residents when they come out to the courtyard. Joanne said that they were jumping up and licking Mama's face and she was squealing and laughing! That was so wonderful to know because she really loved her little dogs, and it is good there are some there for her to pet. The dogs names are Savannah and Biscuit. One is a cocker spaniel, and one is a hound dog/mutt.

Cool! - I have heard that some of the nursing homes have adopted pets that live there... One place I remember had a couple cats. Lots of folk sure like having them around!

Oh, that's a nice story! My youngest brother attends a school for kids with disabilities, and they have a pair of dogs that just wander the grounds and buildings at will with the kids. It's really great to see. I suppose older folks like dogs just as much as little ones!
