Belvedere my cavalier is on Lasik twice a day and a heart pill once a day. He is sleeping better, but has to pee alot. He wants to go for the walks that G man used to take him and the 2 labs on every day, but the vet advised against it. Belly's heart condition is to severe. G man has to sneak out of the house to walk the labs before Belly knows what is going. Sometimes G man is not successful with the sneakiness. Poor Belly gets all excited thinking he is going too, only to be pushed back in the house and have the door closed on him. His reaction is heart breaking. The poor dog runs all over the house barking and crying, then sits by the back door whimpering and waiting. He thinks he can still go, but he can't. It's so sad.
My brother David is the father of the 23 year young man Shawn. I didn't get to meet Shawn before he left for California. I have tried to locate his MY SPACE page but have not been able to find it. I have a Facebook page and find MY SPACE difficult. I'll keep looking for Shawn's page tho.
Our over seas trip is almost completely booked. All the hotels, train stuff, airfare is finished. I am now working on obtaining tickets to the Vatican, louvre and a few other places. Several people advised me to get tickets in advance to avoid long lines. Another bonus is not having to carry enough cash to get the tickets while over there. I have researched the sites ( is it sights or sites?) we would like to see and found an interesting tidbit on Trip Advisor regarding proper etiquette in the Sistine Chapel. Apparently there is absolutely no talking or whispering allowed. I am going to look into that more. We are a chatty group. Especially G man, he asks alot of questions.
Double G had some trouble from his girlfriend's mom, which caused a big ruckus between Double G and AL ( AL is Double G's girlfriend). The mother is pushing for the two kids to get engaged! Double G is only 20, AL is only 19. WTF! The worst of it though is AL agrees with her mother. Double G is standing firm with no engagement until they are both finished with school and working full time for 1-2 years. Good thinking on his part.
The advice from my workout trainer appears to be solid. I cut back to 45 minutes on the machines, and started taking total body conditioning classes a few weeks ago. To my surprise I have lost another 2 lbs in that short time.
Here are some excellent veggie dishes I have prepared over the last few weeks. Yum.
Prepared couscous 1 cup
half of a sweet red and yellow pepper, diced
handful of kalamata olives, diced
1/2 cup fat free feta crumbled
1/2 cup flat parsley chopped
1/2 cup artichoke hearts in brine, chopped
1/2 cup of sun dried tomato, chopped
Mix all together, let stand in the frig for about an hour. Then enjoy.
1 cup prepared Bulgar wheat
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 cucumber, chopped
6 leaves of fresh mint chopped
1/2 cup fat free feta, crumbled
3 scallions chopped, include the green part
mix all together, let stand in frig for an hour. Enjoy
I know there are a couple of other things to post. HHHmmmm the brain is working a little slow today, and the memory part is very slow. Well if I remember and the subjects are worth while a follow up will be posted.

Ruuuuunnnnnnn! Double G, run as fast as you can from both those women.
kirby: That is my advice too...but they kissed and made up....
Poor Belvedere, it is so hard when your dogs get old, isn't it? Hootie is doing OK with the blindness so far, every now and then an accident when he can't find his way outside, but doing well overall.
And, I agree with Kirby 100%!
hopefully, for your sake and DG's, they won't stay made up for long. Sounds like a horrible potential mother/daughter-in-law. what's keeping him from moving on and realizing there are GOOd people out there?
