Something About Nothing...........#8

[macraven]

A sad day here. Had to put our cat (Pepper) down today – she would have been 21 next month. Had her a lot longer than the kids so far! We actually had two sisters and had to put her sister down nearly 3 years ago (at 18). Pepper had been doing really well, but started deteriorating over the last week or so and this weekend was having trouble walking or doing much of anything. Just kind of stayed with her and Royce held her pretty much the whole evening last night. Put her down on a blanket at bedtime and she didn’t move between then and morning. Matt came home this morning and he and I carried her outside a bit and then left her (inside) in the sun where she likes it. Picked up Stephen and Eric at lunch time to let them come home and say goodbye and my husband and I took her in early afternoon. She still hadn’t moved at all, but was trying to lift her head up some. She didn’t even move when they gave her the injection. Probably could have just waited it out another 24 hours or so but there didn’t seem to be a point. She wasn’t in pain I don’t think, but she wasn’t really there at all either. So we have some sad folks here today. When we got them we were both in the Army and I was worrying about heading out on an FTX (field training exercise). That was June ’89 – long before we even thought about the kids! Just a couple pics – Pepper as a kitten, then last April when we took a pic with the boys and sent it into the paper for her 20th birthday:

marcie.............

i'm at a loss for words.
losing a pet is like losing a family member.

i know this is a hard time for you and the family.

Good afternoon homies
Well I guess the dental problems keep mounting up cause my teeth were worse off than what I thought and they were only able to get 8 of the 16 out and they had to cut them out.
Needless to say 4 days later and still hurting and have to follow up with dentist this friday

oh no....

they couldn't do all the teeth last week?
sending you mummy dust with hopes it will make you feel better real soon.

Thanks everyone for all the condolences. Everyone seems to be hanging in there today. Don't think we're ready to consider another pet any time soon - maybe after Matt heads off to college this summer we'll see. Anyway, just wanted to share a couple more cheerful pics from our National Honor Society banquet this evening with Matt (NHS President) and his loving little brother Stephen!

great pic of the boys marcie!

Wow, so sorry Marcie.... Sounds like she had a wonderful life with you.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not dreading my appointment at the dentist on Thursday nearly as much now. Hope you heal well and recover quickly. Ibuprofen is the BEST for mouth pain.

i'm taking off work tomorrow.

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Party time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May you enjoy your bon-bons and foot rubs. Or whatever you have planned.



Minnie, I love the advice everyone else gave you. A Disney gift is appropriate, and probably more than they deserve since you weren't informed about it until you brought the trip up.



I can't wait to see Alice! We were planning to go the night it came out, but we've all been sick. By the time DH gets home from work, we haven't wanted to do anything but lay around and make wishes about magic food that will walk over to us after it heats itsself.

Maybe next week after DH's finals are over.




Welcome to drag 'n fly! Glad you could join us. Did you bring a diet coke for me, by chance?

Great looking boys, Marci!

Happy Hump Day Everyone!!!

Looking forward to checking out Alice in 3D this weekend with my son... we had to skip it last weekend.. thanks to your reviews, I'm REALLY EXCITED about it!!!

 

[keishashadow]

yea, work is highly over rated.

one of those four letter words i avoid like the plague

marci - your boys r color-co-ordinated...did u arrange that?

tink - nothing worse than spring fever(s) & teeth woes

It's humpty day again!
grab ur gear, shake ur rear, the weekend will soon be here im sorta not like a rapper, anything to put this week to bed works for me

DD saw Alice on Friday and hasn't quit talking about it--we plan to all go together and see it on the IMAX in Pittsburgh and try out PF Chang's new menu. 1 more week, though, got governor school audition for DD this weekend and a coal mining dance in the Burgh that I'm absolutely dreading.

No one in my family can see that the audition will be 2 hours of driving one way for me and DD. Meanwhile, DH has to take DS to Pitt (one hour one way)for his weekly cello lesson. Then everybody wants to return to the house, change, leave the kids home alone, and me and DH drive right back up to Pitts with barely time to spare? Can't we just all meet at the hotel get changed and the kids could hang out in the pool and then all sleep together in one room? Not to mention that a vendor is paying for the room and normally breakfast, too--it'd be a nice little mini family vaca.

Sometimes I think I'm the only logical one in this family. And you know what is sad is the fact that I'll be a push over and return to the house, change and rush back up to Pittsburgh.

good wednesday morning homies!!


it is trash day again.

for some reason our block was the first on the list this morning.

Thanks for the on Alice.. can't wait!

Hope it gets to you soon!

In case you didn't hear Corey Haim (Lost Boys and other "teen" movies) was found dead due to an overdose this morning.. so sad.... I saw him briefly on the reality show "The Two Corey's" and you could clearly see where he was headed.. such a shame.. thank God no one in my immediate family has a drug addiction..

i kept thinking she has a really strong neck. Wonder how many hairs she has in her toothpaste.

 

[keishashadow]

hey all

poor lost boysad, appears it was Rx abuse not street drugs, evidently a trend.

minnie - ur plan sounds the best, good luck to DD. We're waiting to hear if jr was accepted into his 1st choice of summer college program. It would give him a guaranteed 'extra' $5K/year scholarship to the U if he decides to attend there...then it'd only be $35K a year

re tax refund, my direct deposit was delayed 3 weeks due to weather, suppose it's going to take a while for them to catch up in DC...only problem is they sent me too much $ & refuse to take it back that's a firsti'll stick it in a sock for safekeeping
