We are now in our last week of the fitness challenge. What's working? What's not? Are any tweaks needed? As we finish the fitness challenge, I encourage everyone who is participating to reflect on any positive benefits you may have gleaned from the experience. You might be surprised to find many benefits to exercising regularly!

Gone to the Dogs Week 11: Jack, Denny, Abner, and Dusty
Gone to the Dogs Week 11: Jack, Denny, Abner, and Dusty |
Loretta Holding Puppies |
Jack |
One dog was a brindle-colored bulldog mix. She had puppies several times, and Loretta has kept the picture of her holding some of the dog's puppies (above). She said that pet lived about 17 years and was a very good dog.
Denny |
Abner |
Loretta recalls a basset hound given to them by a cousin. She said it would roam around the neighborhood. Sometimes the dog would have a hard time getting his back end to follow the front end. One day Walter Brian Kluttz found the basset hound up on the railroad tracks where the dog had been hit. Loretta figured the front end got over the tracks but the dog could not move fast enough to get out of the way.
One Cocker Spaniel they had was pretty memorable too. The family decided to go camping, but the dog wanted to follow the vehicle. Tom tried to run the dog back home and thought the dog had gone back, but unfortunately, they never saw the Cocker Spaniel again.
Dusty |
"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it." Hebrews 13:2 (NIV)

We have an extra hour approaching this weekend. For those of us with busy schedules who say we would exercise more if we just had more time, this is our weekend! Everyone is invited to our healthy holiday cooking seminar at Woodleaf United Methodist Church (9000 Church Street in Woodleaf right by the elementary school) on Sunday, November 4 at 5:30 p.m. We will serve a light supper and our speaker, Toi Degree from the Extension Service, will give us tips on how we might tweak our favorite recipes to make them healthier.

Gone to the Dogs Week 10: Jaxx, Jade, and Rusty
Gone to the Dogs Week 10: Jaxx, Jade, and Rusty |
Debbie would like to give everyone a glimpse of her three special fur
babies named Jaxx, Jade, and Rusty.
Jaxx |
JAXX
Jaxx was born on January 2, 2005 and passed away on July 24,
2018.
Jaxx was my Baby Boy, he stayed with me all the time. He
was a strong little boy, he went through being paralyzed by falling off the bed
to losing his hearing to losing an eye. He had to be put to sleep on July 24,
2018 when he went blind in his only eye due to ruptured ulcers. I WILL MISS HIM
FOREVER MY MAMA'S BOY!!!
JADE
Jade was born January 1, 2005 and he is
an absolute lovable and active 13 year old. He loves to ride anything from the
car to the four-wheeler. He still acts like a puppy. He weighs about 5 pounds
and he might be the littlest of my Babies, but he is the biggest.
Rusty |
RUSTY
Rusty was born March 20, 2009 and we got
him on July 20, 2009. He was lovable from the beginning. He is the most
loveable and even-tempered dog I have ever met. He Loves All Stuffed Toys. He
has about 30 Stuffed Toys and he plays with them all. He loves when he gets a
new stuffed toy, his newest toy is Lambchop.
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
"I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn
you with unfailing kindness."
Jeremiah 31:3 NIV
