It's worse than....than......it's a small world after all

That was just cruel. Have you no compassion? No scruples?

I've been lurking around. I think that this is a good time on my first post to say....I Love Beer. Go Beer.

Welcome to the madness.

Pensacola, eh? I spent a few year there on three seperate occasions when I was in the Navy. My son was born in the Naval Hospital there. I love that town.

On a more serious note, I'm about to head out to NC. My Dfil was just diagnosed with terminal cancer. We are going to spend the weekend with him and take a family picture while he is still feeling ok.

Talk to you all later.

Ami- Will be praying for your Fil, I don't know what part of NC your going to but where I am it's beautiful today. God speed !

Sorry to hear that Ami, I hope that you are able to give him some comfort.

On another sad note, our family cat died yesterday. Her name was Willie (short for Willamena), wow, now that I just wrote that, I think it finally hit home She was 25 years old, and had been a loving part of our family for a very long time. She was named after the bartender on a cruise my family took when we were young. We came back from the cruise and found her alone under the deck in front of our house, and adopted her.

Every Christmas for the last 6-7 years we would wonder if Willie would still be around the next one, and there she would be. She had been looking pretty bad the last few months, and had a stroke yesterday and that was pretty much the end.

So tomorrow at the St. Patty's Day Parade I will be doing a shot for our family cat. Here's to ya Willie, hope you're having fun up there in Pet Heaven

P.S. I'm 32 now, we found Willie when I was 7 years old. That's just unbelievably crazy to me, I can't believe how long it's been, and how much has happened in that time. Crazy, just plain crazy.

Prayers to you and your family Ami.
Colson 25 years is unbelievable. We had a cat that was 18 when she died. I thought that was a long time. The kids were heartbroken when she died. The had known her their whole lives at that point.

 

[stacktester]

Ami, Sorry to hear about your FIL. Hopefully your family will bring comfort to him this weekend.

 

[terri01p]

Colson I know that is such a blew to the heart, 25 years though goodness that's the longest I've ever hear of an animal living...you must have been doing something right.

I'm so sorry !

 

[Kimbere]

Ami, I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL. Hopefully you will all have a great visit this weekend and get a wonderful family picture taken. Have a safe drive!

Colson, that's so sad about Willie. It's so hard to lose a family pet...they are like our children. 25 years??? That's amazingly old for a cat, or any pet for that matter. I wish our dog, Bailey, would live that long...but she's already 11 and I know her days are numbered.

 

[Colson39]

My grandparents raised two German Sheperds, one that lived 24 years, the other one, 26 years. Something about my family, animals like to stick around a long time.

The other thing is, our cat Willie, never went to the vet once. Never, in her entire life, did she ever go to a vet. That's almost as amazing as how old she was.

Edit: Just looked up some info, the oldest cat ever recorded was 37 years old and still living in 2004 (not sure if it's still alive). And you thought 25 years old was a long time

 

[auntie]

Sorry about your Kitty...wow 25, that is a good long run. Our cat Charlotte was 17, and diabetic for 5 of those years...I thought that was a long time. I still miss her terribly(she died almost 3 years ago), it's tough enough when it happens, but I think particulary so when a pet is a member of the family with children who grow and become adults. Alot of memories through the years. I know I felt as if Charlotte and I "grew old"-er...together. then the kids are grown, and she was gone..hit me especially hard...difficult to let go of those good times. Well, I felt blessed to have her a part of lives for as long as she was..I'm sure you feel the same.

Huh? Whatta you mean?

Without Yoga I would be a stressed out basket case. You already know I'm this hippie, flower child type, anyway.

As for Belly dancing, don't knock it til you try it!!!! It is a blast! Especially when you get a bunch of girlfriends together and take a class! Now that is bonding!
