Today was not a good day here. When we got home this afternoon I found our dog, Peanut, laying on the kitchen floor. He couldn't get up. His hips/back legs were immobile. He couldn't even get up to come and get his cookie. I tried to pick his rear up but it just slumped back down on the floor. I couldn't put him out to go potty. I knew what was coming. I called the vet and they said come on in. I asked the kids if they wanted to go stay at the neighbor's, but they wanted to come. The vet examined him and said it's probably a disc, which would need surgery. I could try medicating him with muscle relaxers or various pills, but I knew in my heart that was just prolonging the inevitable. Surgery was out of the question. He was 17 yrs. old. So they gave him the shot to relax him, and we all hugged on him awhile. The kids said goodbye and went out in the lobby to wait. I stayed with him as he took his last breath. Nicholas and Alyssa are taking it very hard. We just went through this in March, and now again. When I had to make the decision to put Shane down, I kept hoping for a sign to know it was the right thing to do. I never got it. Peanut has been going downhill lately, with arthritis and such. Tonight I had my sign. :(


Tammi,,,,,I am so sorry for you and your family. :grouphug: it sure doesn't get any easier when you had just gone thru this earlier this year. We all love our fur babies and wish they could just tell us one thing. "Let me go, it is time":hug::hug::hug:
 
Jennifer :wizard: for your surgery, you will feel so much better once it is done!

Tammi :hug:

Elizabeth insurance is completely ridiculous anymore! We need free healthcare like Sweden :thumbsup2

:hug: so sorry
 
so the Dr. said it was just some kind of virus she has and its manafesting with a rash, at first glance you would think moswutio bites except for the white circle around the red bump.
 
:grouphug:I'm so sorry for all of you.:grouphug:

I'm so sorry for your loss.

:hug::hug:It is never easy:hug::hug:

Tammi, I am so sorry about Peanut. :guilty: :hug:

Thanks, everyone. :grouphug: It was weird not having to let him outside right before going to bed, and first thing when I got up this morning.

Jennifer - I'm glad to hear that it is just a virus.
 
Today is my 90 day mark. This is my first experience using IPO for my dining ressies, and I'm a little nervous about it. Can you believe that I'm a control freak? Actually, I think I'm going to kinda miss the high I get when I snag everything I want at the time I want.
 
Well I saw the surgeon this morning. I having my gall bladder removed tomorow morning at 7:30 CST

which means I have to be at the hospital at 5"45am.

Jennifer - :wizard::wizard: Hope all goes well today, take care

Tammi - :hug::hug:
 
Good morning everyone-Off to work!
Im having a issue with my computer, the touchpad. I know im horrible with technology so I wanted to see if anyone here knew what was wrong! I can move the mouse using the touchpad, I can scroll using the touch pad, but i cant double click using the touchpad...it makes no sense!

Alright, have a great day all
 
Tammi,
I am so sorry about Peanut. I hope the kids are doing ok today. :hug::hug::hug::hug:

Good luck! My recovery wasn't bad at all. And my Mom's was even easier, and she was a big baby. I hope you are up and around quickly!

I can not get sick. I am in a wedding Saturday, it would not be a good thing. I actually left work early today as I started feeling cruddy and was hacking my head off. I will try to go to work tomorrow and I already have Friday off. I spent my afternoon in bed. I also have to spend some time trying to work on some stuff I need to have finished by Friday.

In other news Sea World and Busch Gardens have been sold to Blackstone Group.

In addition Rich Ross has been named chairman of the Disney Studios.

Here is a Youtube video on how to make Disney's Canadian Cheddar cheese soup

Becky -- I hope you are feeling better. :hug:

Oh no Tammi. I'm so sorry about Peanut. We had to put down my Mom's dog Diesel yesterday. He started going in to Kidney failure last November, but with new meds/food he had 11 more months of a good life. My sister has been keeping him since Mom went in the hospital three years ago. She's never accepted Mom's passing, so to say she's upset about Diesel is an understatement. She called and asked me to go with her so I drove over there. Jake was with me since I had to pick him up from school, and he wanted to say goodbye. It was as it should be, as when Mom got Diesel I was pregnant with Jake and he used to ride on top of my Jake bump. :goodvibes

so the Dr. said it was just some kind of virus she has and its manafesting with a rash, at first glance you would think moswutio bites except for the white circle around the red bump.

I hope the virus goes away quickly.

We're expecting more rain here today. It's been raining for weeks. We have giant mosquitoes and a sky high mold/fungus count. I'm praying that after the rain predicted for tomorrow, we'll have some sun and rain-free days.

Have a good day everyone!
 
Tammi, I am so sorry to hear about Peanut. I am sitting here crying... :hug: :grouphug: :hug:

Just think how exciting it will be to get the email from IPO with everything you wanted listed as done! :teeth:
 
Good morning, DDA! :sunny:

Housekeeping just woke us up at 8:00. :mad: She was disturbed to discover that we planned to be in our room until just before 11:00! I intend to say something when we go up to check out. There is no excuse for that. :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
Marci, I am sorry about Diesel. :hug:

Elin, I have read other threads about DVC Housekeeping calling and/or knocking to encourage people to get out of their villas. :mad: I understand they want to get started turning the rooms around ASAP, but hello? I am sorry they disturbed you.

I have to work at 10 AM today. I am going to take care of Pixie while everyone else takes Princess out to do something.

It is DH's birthday. :) I think we are probably going to go out for breakfast tomorrow since DS has no school and DH is off. I don't go in tomorrow until 11:30ish. DS has play rehearsal today until 6 PM, so tomorrow just works better.

8 weeks until WDW! :banana:
 

Tammi,

Thanks.

Marci - I'm sorry to hear about Diesel. I can understand why your DS is upset. That was the last piece of your mom that she was still holding onto.

Tammi, I am so sorry to hear about Peanut. I am sitting here crying... :hug: :grouphug: :hug:
Thanks, Elin. Sorry that you had an issue with Mousekeeping. Safe travels today.

Just think how exciting it will be to get the email from IPO with everything you wanted listed as done! :teeth:
I got it, and everything was fine! :yay:

I have to work at 10 AM today. I am going to take care of Pixie while everyone else takes Princess out to do something.

Please tell DH Happy Birthday from all of us!

How has Princess accepted her little sister? I hope she's not ready to send her back!
