Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Bradmac]

Very sad day for my parents. Their cat Dudley, 17 years old, is at the vet right now and we are waiting for a phone call with blood results. He is in very bad shape and I doubt he will pull through. My mother could not handle going to the vet, she is a mess right now, so I went with my dad. They just adore him. I feel really bad for my parents.

I'm sorry for you parents. My old friend and hunting partner, Ben (a black labrador) is 14 now and has some health issues. He's too unsteady to hunt anymore, and I hate going without him. I catch myself checking on him, making sure he's still breathing while he's sleeping. He's such a good boy, I can't understand why pets can't live as long as us.

This is us in 2000 (don't worry, the gun's unloaded!):

We had to put my 17 year old cat to sleep last October..she was my 10th Birthday present. It is never easy...my eyes are filling up with tears just thinking about her. I dont remember my life without her. Please keep us updated and I will pray for the best.

I am so sorry ........I know what they are going through. Poor baby. I lost my 18 year old Siamese last year and it was so hard....It always is as you know, no matter how old they are !! Again, I am so sorry....Will keep you in my prayers

Very sad. I grew up with my beagle (Killer). My parents bought him about six months before I was born. We were virtually the same age. When he past away - we were both 14 - I felt like my childhood had ended. It was very rough. I still dream about him a lot. Some day soon, I am going to happily own a beagle of my own. I feel terrible for your parents and Dudley. 17 years is a long time. There must be plenty of attachment. All the best to everyone involved.

The vet just called my parents and said their cat's heart was too weak and kidneys were failing. They decided it was best to put him to sleep. My parents are crying and I am doing the same. I know they are hurting more than I am but I found Dudley as a stray 17 years ago. I was the first one to introduce him to the family and the last one to see him alive. Very sad situation.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and stories of your own furry family members.

 

[Bradmac]

I'm very sorry for you and your family. I'll send a prayer right now.

I'm going to see Jay late next week....anything you want me to tell him?

Yes, tell him I feel fine.

Christmasstar, was quoting you and see my husband basically said what I was about to say. We have our ac going full blast and the heaviest cover on me is a sheet! It's just too hot here! I guess I should stop complaining about the heat. God has blessed me with shelter to keep me comfortable! cheesy

that is the way most of our summer has been here, it is so nice to have a break from the humidity.

 

[Christmasstar]

Then, on Labour Day weekend, Kim and two of her friends are picking me up at my university and we are heading to the Sault for a relaxing long weekend at my cottage. Everyone is excited! Hopefully the water will be reasonably warm - in September, I will take anything over 60F!

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

Have a great time! cheesy

Well my little girl is sick today. She has a temp of 102!!! So I am home with her for the day. I am not complaining.

I hope your little girl is feeling better!

Not much going on here today, just work, work and more work. Of course, that's better than the alternative. Thank you, Lord, for my job!

That's the way to be, Brad!!!

55 more days in Canada!!

YAHOOOOOO!!! That's going to be GREAT! The family will be here for Thanksgiving dinner - and I'll have my Nativity Scene up for display!!!
