When your retirement has gone to the dogs...

Senior Moments welcomes Carol Stroud as our first guest. Listen in on this two-part podcast as she reflects on her 22 year career as an internal auditor for Montgomery County Texas and how hard it was at first to "retire" until finding her "recipe" for happiness. She shares tips and ideas to help others searching for their own retirement happiness recipe.

Carol and our founder Carol Chiarito reminisce their 30 year friendship and discuss not only Stroud's new identity in retirement, but how Chiarito found her recipe for the Love A Senior Company and even this Senior Moments podcast.  

Carol Stroud's work rescuing Cocker Spaniels is her new "career" and her connection with cockerkids.org and the Cocker spaniel Rescue of East Texas is her supported organization for her podcast.  CSRET survives by volunteers, donations and adoptions. I enjoy helping these dogs because they usually come from a situation and just want to be loved.

Carol's cocker family includes Heidi in 2002, Chelsea, Haley, Abby and Prissy (who have all passed over the rainbow bridge), as well as Holly, Halle, Chloe, Katie, Coco and Maddy.
