Dear Diary

* I had an awesome 16 can full hook walk this morning (1 hour 10 minutes).  I needed it badly - when I woke up this morning my body got me out the door before my mind even woke up.  It was nippy out, but not bad.  I listened to three Aspire podcasts which did me good.

* For breakfast I had brown rice, eggs, and strips of roasted Poblano peppers.  Life is good in my tummy right now. :-)

Here's a story for you...

Chicken helps dog raise puppies

A hen in China has reportedly shacked up with a dog to help raise its three newborn puppies.

Owner Yang, of Anqian village in Fuqing, said the hen moved into the dog's kennel after it gave birth last month, reports Southeast Express.

Since then, the hen refuses to leave the kennel, staying inside all day and only walking out when the dog is nursing its puppies.

Yang says the hen is very protective of the puppies and refuses to allow strangers to come close to the kennel.

"Quite possibly the hen is envious of the dog because it has no offspring of its own, and so it is trying to take over the puppies," he said.

"The dog seems to have given up the idea of driving the stubborn intruder out and has decided to share the space with the hen."

Awwwww.... hens are very maternal. The dog should let her babysit while she goes on a road trip :-)
