Time for a change


I recently turned 59 and have started to develop some complications due to my diabetes. I need to focus on my own health and take it more seriously. I recently loss my mom to heart failure and diabetes. As a nurse I know the importance of a healthy lifestyle but I have a hard time applying it to myself. My goal is to take small steps to a healthier life. I need to focus on my carb intake and activities that are doable for me. I need to stop with excuses and make this happen before things get ...
I recently turned 59 and have started to develop some complications due to my diabetes. I need to focus on my own health and take it more seriously. I recently loss my mom to heart failure and diabetes. As a nurse I know the importance of a healthy lifestyle but I have a hard time applying it to myself. My goal is to take small steps to a healthier life. I need to focus on my carb intake and activities that are doable for me. I need to stop with excuses and make this happen before things get out of hand.

    Happy Friday! It's been a ruff week here. Time to sit down with your cuppa coffee, tea, or whatever, and get your Happy On. I hope your week wasn't too ruff with all the snow and storms. I've been working like a dog all week, and I'm hoping that this week’s dog puns will make you howl with laughter! I can honestly say that I've barely scratched the surface, but I think I found a few wieners for you. Kindly hold your appaws until the end please . . . Here we go!

    We named our dog Rolex because he’s a watchdog.
    He just sits there and watches. . .

    What did the Dalmatian say as its owner scratched its neck?
    Ahhhh . . . yeaaah, that's it! That’s the SPOT!

    I named my new dachshund puppy, Oscar.
    After all - he's an Oscar wiener dog.

    What happens when you cross a rooster, a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle?
    You get a Cockerpoodledoo.

    What’s a dog’s favorite food?
    Any thing that’s on YOUR plate.

    What do you call a frozen dog?
    A pupsicle.

    And here's today’s tip and closing thought for the day:
    Never take your dog to the flea market.

    Enjoy your day, and have a great weekend!
