[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 281830, member: 179"] Dogs are the best therapy. My neighbor's dog, Trey is such a hoot. He sits at the end of a very long tether and just watches my back door. It's 5am...he's just staring. I always bring him a small rawhide treat and he knows he can't jump or get up in order to get the treat. He's learning, but surely a difficult child dog. It just puts a nice smile on my face so early in the day. As far as internet friends, without a doubt they've been some of the best I've had in my life. Some I've never physically met, but it doesn't matter. Remember...you guys are 'imaginery.' ;) I did finally break down and do the Facebook thingy. I have been pleasantly surprised. People from 30 years ago have shaken that HS mentality and actually become someone you'd enjoy a conversation with. I don't see it as people trying to appear to be important by the number of 'friends' they have...just people reaching out. There is this one girl who asked me to be a friend...ok, I did. She says, "You know, I always hated you. You were weird." Yeppers...some things don't change. We had a good chuckle and correspond quite often now. Abbey [/QUOTE]
