DJ - I love to dance, even at this size, although I get winded much quicker. I do dance with my doggies. Sadly my husband has never danced with me, not even at our wedding. He does not dance - period.. and he can't stand the music I like. The dogs love it though .. so we will rock'n-roll around the living room. I think…

Darnit - I didn't play it all the way to the end until watching it a 4th time :-O !!! ..

My husband and I both have a…
