| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | APRIL 2021 | 59 From Courtney Taylor, publisher: Last month's joke was for a group titled "Pets Without Thumbs." It got me thinking about our relationship with our pets during this last year of confinement. I had to put one of my dog's down in November and have found my free time laser focused on my other dog, Doug. He, in turn, is laser focused on me. We are together, just the two of us, all day. I've started bringing him along when I run errands; now, every time I grab my purse, he leaps into the air, excited to go for a ride. The other day, he was taking a nap and I quietly gathered my things and slipped out the front door to hit golf balls on the range. I felt guilty the whole time. The year of lock down probably has many pets wondering when the heck they get their alone time too. We need to get back to normal relationships with our pets. For Doug, that will mean a lot fewer omelettes for breakfast. If you would like to win a free dinner, find the ad, article or just weird, out-of-place, completely made-up (and hopefully funny) item in this month's Lifestyles. When you find it, fill out the box below and (new!) EMAIL IT TO sunlakesnews@yahoo.com before noon on the sixth of the month. If you are the first correct guess chosen at random, you will win a free dinner. Good luck! Congratulations to this month's Dinner Winner: JOYCE CLOSE Please call Kelly in the Admin.
