FROM THE SHELTER TO THE WORK SITE
I can’t believe I’m already famous, and I’m only 6 months old! Even though I’m young, I do think I have a pretty neat story, and I can’t wait to tell you about my dad, Tyler.
Tyler adopted me a few months ago from the local shelter when I was just 4 months old, even though I had a limp as a result of an injury. Tyler wasn’t scared off by my limp, and it sure didn’t stop me from running around and having fun. One thing you should know about my dad is that he had a really awesome dog before me named Trapper. I really hope I can fill his paw prints someday; I’ve heard so much about what a cool dog he was.
How to Live to 99 Beloved “Golden Girls” actress Betty White is still enjoying her golden years. The famed actress celebrated her 99th birthday this January. While she told People magazine that she’s “blessed with good health, so turning 99 is no different than turning 98,” she also had a few tips for folks looking to make it to their centennial birthday. Keep Laughing “Don’t take yourself too seriously,” White says. “You can lie to others — not that I would — but you cannot lie to yourself.” White has undoubtedly provided many laughs to viewers over the years, but she’s not just playing it up for the camera. Laughter is part of what keeps her young. Be Optimistic BETTY WHITE’S SECRETS OF LONGEVITY
Dad had taken Trapper to Dr. Clark for many years. In fact, he credits Dr. Clark with helping Trapper live to 15 1/2 years old!

Dad wanted to give me the best start possible, so he took me to see Dr. Clark to get my leg checked out, knowing that I still have a lot more growing to do. I’m glad he did because Dr. Clark did some X-rays that showed I needed surgery to fix my leg and help make sure I grow up big and strong, just like Trapper did. Right now, I’m all stapled and bandaged up. Dad has to make sure that my puppy energy doesn’t get the best of me. It’s hard, but I need to take it easy for the 6–14 weeks it’ll take to heal. The surgery was easy. I just went to dreamland. But the post-op part is hard! I’m trying to be patient, but I can’t wait to run around again soon. People tell my dad that he was lucky to find me, but I think I was lucky to

White says a good sense of humor also helps her keep a good attitude and look for the positive rather than “dwelling on the downside.” Avoiding negativity also gives her energy. “It takes up too much energy being negative,” she told People magazine. Stay Busy With nearly eight decades of acting under her belt, six Emmys on her shelf, and over 120 screen credits to her name, White is no stranger to hard work. As she told Parade in 2018, “I just love to work, so I’ll keep working until they stop asking.” Exercise Your Mind In addition to her busy work schedule, what keeps Betty White sharp? Crossword puzzles! She told Katie Couric in an interview, “I’m addicted. An admitted addict. I just can’t put ’em down.” Find a Cause White is a lifelong animal lover. She calls her golden retriever, Pontiac, “the star of the house.” While pet ownership itself comes with proven health benefits, White has channeled her love for animals in bigger causes. She’s been a trustee and board member of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association for over 40 years and has done work to help protect endangered species in the wild. Funds raised from White’s official fan club, Bet’s Pets, all go to support animal charities. Embrace Your Vices White told Parade she loves vodka and hot dogs “probably in that order,” which just goes to show that you don’t have to forgo your treats to live to 99.
