[nagdu] Getting back into the swing of things and Neechee's birthday

[Tami Jarvis]

Mardi,

Wow! Sorry you had to go through that, and I'm glad you're back in business!

You know you've arrived with your young dog when people think you're 
nuts to be talking to yourself at the restaurant. /lol/ We went out last 
week, and had to do some shuffling and rearranging to fit everyone's 
legs and have space for the dog. We were the first people there before 
the dinner hour, in a small restaurant that's pretty relaxed and 
familiar, so we were taking our time at getting settled and then 
rearranging the dog and getting her settled... We didn't notice when 
someone else came in to hear all the "Sit! Down! Over here! Sit! Down!" 
I was muttering there in the corner. Then the woman suddenly laughed 
when she figured out there was a dog. She thought I was talking to my 
husband like that. /lol/
