Hello everyone! By the time you read this, Christmas will be over and everyone will be back at the daily grind.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. I love Christmas and my husband also loved Christmas. I love seeing the kids opening their gifts. When my Es are happy, I’m happy.
They are predicting some bad weather, we shall see what happens.
Ok, here I go getting on a roll about the emotional support animals. I love dogs, I really do. I have a four-pound chihuahua named junior that most of ya’ll know about. He’s my baby. I totally understand folks needing a support animal.
I was in Walmart the other day and there were almost as many dogs as people. There was one dog that literally barked the whole time I was in the store. I could hear it all over the barking.
Emotional support animals are supposed to be trained, or so I thought. Dogs all over the store a barking and scratching, what is the world coming to?
I know people won’t believe this, but there is a man in Hershey Pennsylvania that owns an emotional support alligator. It’s not fake, the gator’s name is Wally. He was rescued from a pond in Disney World. According to the owner, Wally lives on Cheetos and Chicken legs. The owner said he has never been around an alligator that won’t bite you.
Just putting this out here, but I do not want to take the chance. Junior weighs four pounds, if he decides to eat me, I think I could take him. I wonder if I could find a Boa Constrictor for Curtis Feimster an emotional Support Reptile?
Since I’m on the subject of Junior, I have to tell the story about my Aunt Royce that lived at Booneville. One year I sent her a Christmas card and I signed it Sheri, Ethan, Evanella and Junior. I get one back from her and it says “I’m so glad you found you a boyfriend, but why does his name have to be Junior?” It was so funny, she thought Junio was a man. I have got a lot of laughs over that.
Have a wonderful week, and be safe if you decide to get an emotional support animal. Stew over it long and hard before you get a gator.
This week’s recipe is the classic cheeseball

Let the cream cheese soften and mix all ingredients together and form into a ball. Roll in crushed pecans or walnuts. Keep refrigerated and serve with crackers. Enjoy!
