Summer Success

Summer is in full swing around here. Whether it is swimming, ice skating, fencing, claymation, piano practice, neighborhood play, or visiting the library, we seem to always have something going on.  Yesterday we took a break from the heat and headed to the air conditioned book store.

After picking up a few books, my daughter and I wandered into the DVD section and found a copy of “Lassie” on the clearance rack. We were very excited and bought it to share with our newest family member, Daisy, a tricolor miniature Australian shepherd.

She is an amazing dog, five years old, kid-friendly, and well-trained. She even plays ball and Frisbee fetch!  We tried her as our summer experiment (dog sitting) and are happy to say she’s here to stay.

So far I haven’t read any articles on the significance of pets in the lives of fibromyalgia sufferers, but who knows, maybe she will even be therapeutic. She sure likes to cuddle and she is a “one tap dog”.  Any dog lovers care to comment?
