    The GD wind, every time we get a decent day with a low 30's temp it is windy. Was going to go ski on the lake because the temp was nice, my wife will goad me but I hate the wind it's cold. Suppose it will only be windy half the course, push me on the way back but the part where you put the boots on and get sking the wind sucks, start out cold and into the wind. My other alternative is doing wall palates inside with my wife up in the loft with the Himalayan singing bowls and crystals.

    Us too
    they sedated him for the pain and he was able to have favorite treats. We all hugged , loved, and thanked him.He wagged his tail to the end . Our hearts are shattered completely . I didn't think I had this many tears.

    Oh gosh OND, I'm so sorry.
    He certainly made the best of his time with you. From your stories you had a great bond with him and he lived country life to the fullest.

    Thank you, we are on route home now. We were up all nite, very rough time for us all. I seriously have worries for hubby so keep us in thoughts please. Going home to him not there will be very bad. 2 dogs, family, in 2 weeks.
    A,J was blood cancer, spleen ruptured went to lungs. Other than limp and swollen he showed no signs. It's an aggressive fast moving cancer. The lump I was so concerned about was a tumor and it was being fed by h8s femoral artery. He nearly died during the scan because he went V tac and they were having a hard time stablizing him. He came in room9nhis own tail wagging and happy to see us went nuts as usual for snacks we brought him and loved on all of us before meds started to where off and he played down . Almost like he knew it was time.

    Went through that twice last year. I can sympathize with you. My wife and I said if we were 15-20 years younger, we would adopt again.

    Kind of like paying sales tax on a used vehicle when you are the third owner.

    Getting pulled into an email thread/issue late in the game.

    Boss forwards me an email that’s bounced around for a month…and asks ’Are we missing anything?’…

    Gee let me read the 47 pages to figure out the problem, retrace what has already been covered…and then try to figure out the blind spot(s)…
