Good Afternoon My Friend,

4 fur babies I have which are so sweet & precious with each one having a different personality.  They follow me around like dogs & I have all except 1 whistle trained.

I like dogs & would love to have a Black & Silver German Shephard.  I had one when I was younger & he was so smart and the Best.  He was also a rescue full grown & was so easy to train with the help of a friend.

If you have ever seen John Wick #3 I believe with Haley Berry and her 2 Shepards my boy could jump & and do about 1/2 of some of the stunts hers did.  Of course, I feel they must have been professionally trained.

There is a gentleman in town that train police dogs and when I was verified to do animal abuse cases we became friends & I would watch while he was training new dogs from a distance due to not distracting the animals and on occasion, he would bring a well seasoned older one in and I would never have believed a dog could do some of the tricks and have the discipline they do.

As I write this I am realizing how much I like a person or animals which are disciplined.  I have absolutely no tolerance for the (I can’t) words.  Those words were not allowed in my vocabulary growing up as my Father was in the Marines as a Drill Instructor and then went into the Air Force due to it being more family-friendly as all he had was girls.

That is why I went into the Military because I wanted to know what he went through his whole life and he frowned upon me going in right out of High School.  I went in while in my 20s after he passed because again I didn’t want to disrespect him and his beliefs.  He felt a lady should not go into the Service.  No Regrets & see why he loved being in the Military his whole life.

Yes, that is why I have always tried to be independent and self-sufficient which basically I have.

No man has ever taken care of me.  I have always worked hard and tried to follow my Fathers advice long after he passed.  God Bless his Soul he was such a Wonderful Father.

At the time I used to think he was being mean & after he passed I understood.  I wish he were alive today to know I turned out almost as he primed me.

Don’t get me wrong it does get lonely sometimes but worth it.  You come into this world alone naked and eventually, we will all pass so I am making the best of what I have.

Being in a relationship in my opinion is not worth it if you have to struggle with it all the time.  A lot of people don’t respect their partners and it is not like it was back in the good old days when families in the 50s through 70s it seems like so many families wanted their children to be Doctors, Lawyers, or girls Nurses and now there are so many broken homes and undisciplined children.

I have witnessed kids hitting their parents, calling them names, and disrespecting the ones that brought them into the world.  If I had ever spoken or yelled at my Parents my Father would have drop-kicked me out of the door.  Not only that, I wanted their respect because I knew how it made me feel to be kind, helpful, and always honest with them.  Maybe a few little white lies if I would skip school when my Dad knew about it and I didn’t know.  I would go home & remember him asking me how school was that day and my response was “It was fine” Years later he told me he knew more than what I thought and his famous saying “Don’t ever try & pull the wool over my eyes”

My ex called and texted a few times last night & I gave him no response and didn’t answer the calls.  I am proud of myself for your words of Wisdom I am able to get through this by understanding this situation and I feel great today.

My neighbor called yesterday to see if I would like to come over have dinner and move this afternoon.  So I am going to get ready & hope to have a read from you when I get back home.

It’s funny because I walk through the woods like Little Red Riding Hood to get there and if I don’t put the babies inside the house they follow me over and sit in their backyard until I leave.  It is so cute.

Have a Great Day & Read soon.

Shookie~
