Better

Hello most humans and many others,

Well, the good news is that Mr. Nelson is feeling better. Missy Linda says that dogs are smarter than people about things like sickness. Mr. Nelson was smart enough to refrain from eating while he was sick, but now he is eating some, and he is on patrol in the back yard again. Missy Linda and Tio Kane are very relieved because Mr. Puck had gastro-intestinal problems right before he died. Missy Linda said she read that those kinds of things are very serious for dogs.

Missy Linda also made a discovery about fitness in humans. She said she had heard that people start to lose their level of fitness if they don't exercise for three days. She believes that is absolutely true for sure now. She was off work for three days while she was sick, and after working yesterday, her legs ache like they did when she first started working at the fabric store. She thinks that is a depressing situation for people who have to force themselves to exercise in the first place because three days is not much wiggle room. If people can go downhill so fast, it makes it seem too tenuous to work on fitness. Of course, you can guess that Missy Linda is not an enthusiastic exerciser, right?
