Good Sunday morning. They had said we'd have rain all day, now it's rain later in the day, supposed to get to 77. 60 tomorrow and only in the 50's by the end of the week.

I did a lot of cleaning yesterday, so much so that I was too sore and tired to wash the floors so those are first on my list today.

I learned a lesson the hard way. I knew Summer was very low on funds, so I offered to pay for the dog to be put to sleep, knowing how much she was suffering. Not realizing beforehand that she not only wanted her put to sleep, but also cremated and the ashes returned. It's a good thing I was sitting down when the vet called and told me the bill was $298. ($99 for the euthanasia, $198 for the rest). That will never happen again. This is why I bury my cats in my own yard. And Summer hasn't even had the courtesy to say thank you.

Off to get the floors done so I can relax the rest of the day. Might take a walk before the rain comes this afternoon.

Have a good day

I should have thought to warn you about that newer angle.

We have a pet cemetery in my way back area but I do have a larger yard. I was quoted an even higher price for the cremation. I refused and the shot was quick and I took Kittykitty home and buried him. That was the outdoor stray cat that I got attached to in addition to my own menagerie.

My DD's friend, also my egg lady ahs her dog's cremated remains on her mantle, along with her mother's ashes. She was an only child and was devastated by losing both. However, when I visit I avoid looking at the display as I find it just a little creepy.

I am more for spreading ashes in a place that works for parties involved and keeping departed loved ones in my thoughts.

@Judique, how do dogs come up with strange ideas? I don’t know, and hope things get better!

A forecast for rain came up, seemingly out of the blue, so we’ll head out. Next stop Hendersonville, NC. We’ll celebrate Jack’s life at Mass with Joyce tomorrow.

I hope you all have a great day!

Hendersonville, NC which is just north of East Flat Rock.
Friends of my husband, military people, built a log home there in the late 70ties.

We visited them and slept there before it was even full finished. Had the best country breakfast with them before continuing up to Asheville to visit Biltmore. Loved the wood fire and heaps of blankets as it was cold that night.

I can't even remember their names but a nice couple.

Thank you dear Snowysmom. I'm sorry you didn't like the movie either. I did enjoy rewatching We Need a Little Christmas. It's about a grieving single mom and her young son and how God connects them with their neighbor and others who He uses to enable them all to heal and experience some joy. Reminded me of us, our Quacker family that God created and has kept going strong. Merry Sunday love and thanks to all of you
