The Villages - November 2020 - 5

Winston, they were choosy with
their next companion.
"We did our homework,"
Larry said. We got a hold of one
of the top breeders in the state, a
breeder of excellence. We'd spent
more than $14,000 on Winston's
health issues, due to poor breeding, so
we were smarter this time around. Jake
was twice as expensive, but he's very healthy
and he's a great dog. He's a free spirit."
Playing the little brother role to their older bully,
Olivia, Jake is every bit a nuisance. He crashes into the
smaller dog, panting with excitement.
"Olivia is more laid back," Larry notes. "With
Winston, she was the aggressive one, and now she's
getting a taste of her own medicine with Jake. He's got
a lot more energy. He's a bulldozer. He doesn't know
how big he is!"
Like most dogs living in The Villages, cruising in
golf cars is a favorite pastime. But for Jake and Olivia,

only a limo will do. Sprawled out
on separate seats, the spoiled
bullies get plenty of sunshine
and fresh air as Rita and Larry
chauffeur them in their golf car
limousine - a ride they selected
for the comfort and safety of their
exceedingly popular pups.
"They're well-known throughout The
Villages; people know Jake and Olivia, not so
much us," Larry says with a chuckle.
The happiest patrons around town, you'll find Olivia
and Jake smiling and slobbering at outdoor eateries.
"Johnny Rockets, Jersey Mike's, Darrell's Diner,
McDonald's, Flipper's, Scoople's or McAlister's - any
place with a patio," Larry said. "They're very wellbehaved, but you should see them wolf down an ice
cream cone!"
With their nursing careers now behind them, Rita
and Larry are relishing retirement with their canine
charges. This time, caregiving is purely for fun.
