TGIF-What's new?
Julia,
Thanks so much for writing and I, too, saw Marley and Me on NY's Day, I got all choked up and my daughter laughed at me, but I went home and hugged Dillinger that much more and have been ever since, because I never dreamed a 4-legged friend could come to mean so much to me, he has been through so much of the ups and downs of my life these last 12 years. I bought my home in large part because most Townhouse communities would not allow a dog of his breed. Dillinger has touched countless people with his unique personality, people who for one reason or another are afraid of dogs, especially of his breed, have come to love him. I simply pray that one day he goes to sleep peacefully, I cannot bear the thought that I would ever have to make a decision to put him down, but yet, I never want to see him suffer and while I try not to dwell there, I see something changing in him lately that tells me he may not be with me much longer and last night was a reality check I did not want to ever bear witness too.
I believe in a Higher Power, but that Power made one mistake in my eyes and that is dogs should have lifespans that equal their masters, as they are better than a lot of people I've known.
Thanks for letting me ramble and I wish you and Darla lots of loving years!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good morning Margo,
Tom is especially missing Joey. Joey was on Tom's chest constantly. The others will sit on his lap but don't sit with their paws wrapped around Tom's neck, nor do they rush to him when he walks in the door. Poor Tom is sad.
Last night he said he wants HIS OWN cat again. Oh dear, I have a feeling we may be cat shopping soon. Instead of "Eight is Enough" we could possibly end up with "Cheaper by the Dozen".
As long as Tom continues with litter duty, I am all for it.
Hmmm - didn't I say that my next cat would be from the Hallmark store?
Kisses
Annette

Annette, my heart aches for you and Tom knowing what you are going through. I am betting that a new little furbaby kitty will be in your home shortly. You guys have to much love not to spread it on to others who need it so badly. I guess once you have loved so much you have to keep loving.

Good Friday morning to everybody!
I am feeling better today. I did nothing but sit and sleep all day. It hurt too bad to lay down. It must have been one of those 24 hour flu bugs. I have a feeling I will be dragging all day today though.
I tried to eat a little breakfast this morning. The stomach still feels a little queasy . I am taking chicken noodle soup for lunch today.
I don't think I have anything pressing this weekend. Which is good. I may just laze around all day Saturday.
Better get going and get ready for work.
Take care,
Mickey

Connie, please take care of yourself. It sounds like you are wanting to go in to a bit of a depression. Just keep busy~even if you don't want to. Remember we are here for you when you need us. We all love you and I am sending big old giant hugs to go with all my love and prayers.

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY

I wish you luck, Jan, on the hike. I am not sure that I would want to start something that I am not sure I could finish. But in reality 5 miles really isn't that far.
It must be good so far since I haven't heard the loooong yell yet! I am taking that as a good sign.
It sure sounds like you are having a great time on your trike trip. I would love to do something like that. I know that Bill would too.

Hi Margo and friends:
I already posted on Brenda's thread, but I see we have a second post, and I don't want to leave you out.
Sorry you have to work tomorrow too. I have one more week off and then back to work myself. I don't know if I'm ready, but I guess I should go back. I am bored, though, but the thought of sitting 7 hours with my knee bent below a computer desk isn't very appealing to me. Still, at least I have a job. That's good news.
No big weekend plans. I'm too tired right now to think about doing anything. Today I'm sitting at home. I have to bring in the garbage can (it was trash day) and get the mail, make a few phone calls, but other wise, I'm not doing much of anything. I ran myself ragged yesterday and can't move much today. I needed to get out and get some calcium, and maybe I'll do that tomorrow or later this afternoon, but right now, I'm too tired. Just don't have the energy.
Have a good day.
