On a brighter note... every time I think my son can't get any cuter, we have a photo shoot and I'm proved wrong. Had fun tonight and can't wait for the pics.

It says 'While I breathe I'm yours.' It's a quote from a song. The 'e' at the end of breathe and the 's' at the end of yours are formed with the tree roots.

Will you share? I love baby cheeks! :)

Good morning peeps. It's Friday and I am feelin' fine! How YOU doin'?

Friday morning and my off day so I'm lying in bed watching an old black and white movie and reading Q & A on here and then it's up to get some housework done.
I love it when I don't have to jump up shower and leave home before my eys are completely open.

Oooo I'm jealous. I have one hour of classes, then back to work and then out to the camp at 4:30! I am so happy to see summer here. I missed my camping!

I've never heard of pill pockets, but I'll go to the local pet store to see if they have them. I'm also thinking of putting some food in a blender, if I can't get anything into him, and putting it into a turkey baster, forcing it into him. He's lost noticeable weight, and he wasn't a thin dog to begin with.

The lack of appetite is what concerns me the most. This is not a dog that turns down food. For him to be refusing food means that something much more serious then a strained leg and arthritis is going on.

I just wish they had given us an answer, a diagnosis, some hope. Even if it was horrible news, knowing what we're dealing with would help us deal with it. Right now they're guessing, and we're doing our best just to keep him alive and comfortable.

I know - it's a game of guesswork and you've got to be reeling from your recent loss.

I know pain will take a dog right off his food, and I've seen it happen.

My Vet is big into specialists at the moment. I had no idea there are so many specialities. What does the Vet say? Wait and see? Something else?

Yay Friday! Get today over with and we are taking the boat out catfishing tomorrow! It is supposed to be in the 80's tomorrow. About time all we have had is rain and more rain.

I've never figured out how to post pics on AMHD, honestly. If someone can baby step me through it, I'll post some of last month's pics. I won't have this month's for a couple of weeks, as my photographer is going out of town for a funeral and then business.

I'm meeting my hubby for lunch today, and then I'm going to see a good friend for probably the last time. She was moved from the hospital to hospice care, but she's stopped eating and friends say that she won't live past the weekend. I'm heartbroken at the thought of saying goodbye to her, and I'm sure I'm going to have a breakdown in her room.

Synnen, We will pray that god walks with you to visit your friend for the last time. When it gets hard lean on him.

Hello Syn:

And, you have the nerve to call yourself Synnen... Smoking marijahoochie is sinning to the max, and I LOVE it.

National Weed Day.

Dammit, forgot the sarcasm font.

I know damned well what today is about.

It's about smoking weed and doing carpentry. Because seriously, what serious weed smoker doesn't try to BUILD something when high? Most notably, build a better bong!

Thoughts are with you, May you find the strength to get through this and enough left over to pass on to your friend.

Hope things went as well as could be expected and that it will give you some closure. No doubt, it helps her tremendously in spirit.
