Subject: RE: June 2012 Declutter & Exercise - hothothot!
My son has started doing some working out, pull-ups and such, so I think he's paying more attention to fitness (he's at a good weight, always has been, but I think he wants to keep it that way). He cooks stuff like salmon for himself (in the frozen 4 ounce frozen packages) so I'll just have to make sure that he has the grocery budget to buy healthy foods. And I think if he has a partial meal plan on campus he can eat there for his midday meal.

Got the rest of the story on Susie's dog - a call came in at lunch. Seems the first owner lost the dog, the second owner found him and couldn't find owners so kept him. After 2 years he got out and animal control found the chip for the first family. The wife is batshit crazy and after a little while of messages from the husband asking about what they fed him and the wife protesting that he was having an affair with the woman in the second family (!) the guy called and said they didn't want the dog any more, he didn't get along with their other dogs (we don't think this is true). Somewhere in the last six months they gave him away or dumped him. And they transfered his chip over to the phone number of the family that had him for 2 years. They'd had such grief from the first family that they didn't want him back, as much as they loved him, because they have a couple of other dogs now. So she is glad to know that Susie will give him a good home and will see about having the chip put into her name today.

Whew! That's a lot for one little dog to have as his story! He's apparently a breakout artist and shoots out open doors in a hurry. Invisible Fence might still be a very good idea for her. I could train Zeke to it here and if they're on the same frequency as my house, then if Max came down to stay, he'd also be contained by the collar.

Confused yet?
