Chim's Vacation

Chim and Zoe
I'm so happy Chimmie found a girlfriend.  Don't get me wrong, I like him and all... but I don't have the energy or desire to keep up with his high-energy craziness.  Zoe lives a few doors down from Paul.  She is a Chihuahua just like he is.  It was L O V E at first sight.  They chased each other around the yard and played so long that he actually crashed when he got back inside.  That hardly ever happens.  Paul said he got an A plus on not having any "accidents".  He let Paul know every single time he had to go outside.  One day they took 7 walks.  Paul was so tired that he did not even go to the gym.  It's probably been over 25 years of continuous Monday-Friday workouts. (Except if an emergency came up or he was very sick.)  He also made Paul wake up about 2 hours earlier than he normally does.  The one strange thing Chim did was during his walks.  He started being afraid of other people and would turn to run back home.  I'm not sure why, but maybe he could sense danger and was trying to get Paul to turn around and go the other way.   Chim actually lost almost 1/2 pound with all the extra exercise the 5 days he was on vacation.  Linda lost 2 pounds (she has no idea how since it was an all you can eat/ 24 hours a day resort) and I gained .2 pounds.  Not fair!!
