One year, we went to real estate open houses, thinking we might move.Generally, I run, we visit the grandkids, keep up on the housework a little better. Take naps . . .
This year, I will be running, as I'm training for the half-marathon in Pittsburgh on May 6. And that's the way this whole thing started:
I'm running to raise money for the Animal Rescue League. It's the shelter where we adopted three of our four cats, and it's always been a great adoption experience. Because I joined their training team, I also subscribed to their Facebook feed. On Thursday, they posted a picture of two English Springer mix brothers, one of whom had already been adopted. I knew immediately that the other would become the dog we had just barely begun discussing.
By Saturday afternoon, Chase was firmly ensconced in our household. He's 55 pounds of loving lap dog, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have him (well, the cats could be more thrilled, but they're adjusting).

And just to inspire you, here's a picture of my new boy (sitting in the new chair, of course):
