    Ducky, Grayson is so beautiful! What a pretty smile she has! There are some things I will not forgive... but I'll help you hide the body.

    I am so excited for Grayson.. To be mobile and be able to do alot more than she's been able to is awesome.  It might not be perfect, but I have been blessed by children like her and know she will be a great part of this world.  It is hard to forgive a doctor for his mistake, but know that Grayson will survive this and be a wonderful young lady when she grows up.  And that will only happen with a wonderful family to back her up.

    I didn't want to put this post with the one before it.. I don't really want to throw anything in the fire, just want a bit of consoling and comfort.  My Tigger dog is starting to go through liver failure again.  She is 15 and if I take her into the vet - it will be another $1000 of treatment to try to pull her out like they did 3 years ago.  I can't do that and have to let her go.  She isn't in pain, just a bit confused, she is still going outside for her walks, eating less and less and drinking.  I have tried to feed her things that are recommended but she doesn't seem to want anything but eggs, chicken and rice and loves.. One day she acts fine, like she is a little puppy and the next she sleeps and doesn't eat.  I know if we take her in, the vet will want to put her down or have us spend all the money to try to save her..  I love this crazy furbaby..  Husband just got home from a strenuous business trip last night and I just don't want to lay this on him... I don't know what to do.. Here she is - silly girl - sleeping sitting up.

    GmaFoley, Tigger is so cute! It's so hard to decide what is best for our furry babies as they get older. All of our pets are members of the family. I know I like them better than some members of my family! I have an old lady yellow lab that we adopted from the animal shelter, and every day I hope it is a good day for her. I think she loves my DH best. I will be thinking of you my friend.

    My cat and dog from day one were considered as our "kids". My family always asks how the "kids" are when I talk to them. My mom even calls them her "grandkids". I sign our Christmas cards from me, hubby and "the kids"

    I'm so sorry GMA. 

    It's never easy when our animals get older.

    They typically are with us long after our children leave.

    Gentle hugs to you.

    You'll know in your heart when the time is right.

    Gma..my GD is a vet tech..along with her 2wild kids she has 3dogs and 2 cats

    The first one she birthed so that's her best friend..he is around 11yrs.old now and he has a stroke...she brought him in to her boss and asked him what to do...she will not put him down either...her boss said we can operate but like U its a lot of money that she don't have..

    U no what he told her...just give him a lot of LOVE

    I hope this helps U..And yes he moves around too.

    Ducky she is beautiful and looks very happy.  

    GMA so sorry for what you are going through..

    Now I need to throw something in the fire.  Just found out that someone I have been emailing with for 2 years now has been very untruthful with me.  We started emailing because we both have amputations.  It was great to have someone to email with that knew what I was going through.  Sort of like these boards...  Anyway just found out that a lot of what this person has been telling me is untrue.  Also found out that they have many probelens besides just the amputation.  I am such a trusting and helpful person that I overlooked things that I thought might be untrue and plugged on with just trying to help this person.  So into the fire with all the untruths..  I forgive the person because that's who I am...

    Thanks everyone for the kind words about Grayson.....she is a happy little girls, thank God..

    Gma....I don't want you to take this the wrong way........I had a Boston Terrier that I rescued from a woman and fell in love with at the age of 7......he wsa beautiful, loving, and filled my empty days.....over time he evenetually developed cataracts, which lead to  losing his sight....then he developed glaucoma.......over time he lost his hearing, and got dementia......he was 14 years old, and sitll looked like a puppy...he had to wear a doggie diaper all the time..........there was no way I was putting himd own, I couldn't..........I made man appts to do it, but always cancelled......

    At one Vet visit he said to me......."to look at the paperwork on Mark you would think "here is a very healthy dog.............then he said "tbut when you see him, you know it is a sick dog"...........which I knew........he said "you might want to consider putting him down.............and this is what stays with me till today ....he said "unlike humans dogs can't tell us what hurts....they suffer in silence so therefore we think they have no pain"........"this dog is in pain"........

    I went home cried, thought, and cried more and made another appt..........this time I was going to be humane and do what I should have done long before.........when the Vet came into the room, and it was a different Dr.............I said  "am I doing the right thing"..........his answer was "its time"........

    The problem is we keep our pets alive "for us", not "for them"........if we truly love them now my feeling is not knowing what their degree of sufffering is, we need to dod what is best for them.....not for us.........I feel your pain, but you will know what is right for you......love and hugs......it is not easy ....

    Good Afternoon Goddesses,

    Was up late into the night and early morning working on a budget.

    I slept most of the day away. Going to my yearly ritual at my nephews tonight. I can't wait to see the kids!! That's the highlight of my week!! I guess I better get out of my pajamas for the festivities.

    I'd like to throw all my bills into the fire today. That fire is sure burning bright.

    Happy Halloween!

    I want to throw in my DHs stress.... mine, too, while I'm at it! Rough week, my sweet son broke his arm, our old lady dog isn't eating, sick guinea pig, bills, lots of chemo bills.... Oh, and stupid, rude people!

    And the f'ing hot flashes brought on by chemo!

    Slow, that picture is perfect for me!!

    I had my hysterectomy Sept 29th.  I'm in full blown menopause now!  My estrogen level went from over 500 to ZERO!!! So hot flashes, night sweats and inability to sleep--- welcome to my world.  I'd like to throw all that on the bonfire, ,but I'm too hot to get near the fire!

    Tryed to catch up on all the posts.  Grayson looks so cute!!  Baby Cali is adorable and I hope she is doing well. Gma:  I hope the insurance comes thru for you!! I can't imagine a sista was mean to you!  You are so nice!! Your dog looks so sweet. I know you are having a hard time. It's hard to let go. Been there, myself.   FK:  love the brooms and I wish you a settled tummy.

    Hugs and Happy Halloween to all!

    OK so I missed the party...maybe there is someone at the fire...it's cold in a lot of places even down south.  We all need some time by the fire in November!
    I am reading back - still have 5 pages to go!  You ladies are prolific writers....
    Am thinking of those who are having tests, pain, or other issues. 
    Ducky, aren't you getting close to being off the AI pill?  I am 3 years this month on the pill.  I often wonder who I'd be if I didn't take it....and I feel pretty good.  But mentally it does a lot of brain sabotage.
    Am heading off to Florida for 3.5 days with my DD and 2 granddaughters.  They are meeting 12 friends (& kids).  I will be a tag along but don't care.  Work sux lately and so I took off 2 very busy work days and am traveling.   A little nervous due to the windy conditions but I guess wind is good for getting a plane to fly Nerdy
    Wish I could bring y'all with me.  Wouldn't that be fun....
    Blondie (sandy) thinking of you and hoping you are doing OK. 

    Well, it's 3 Am, can't sleep, and have to go to get nails done at 9:30 am - just 6 hours away.  I have to clean, pack, pay bills, and run errands tomorrow. 

    I am going to try to check in here more often...I do love the ladies here...you are awesome, smart, sensitive, and fun.

    Jo, I love the pics of you from the cruise.  I'm with you...I"d rather have my feet on the ground.  So much to see....

    FK, miss you lots.

    Ahhhh the fire feels so good.  Time to blow out the jack-o-lantern candle...
