Thank you, but I give credit to my hubby and my faith, don't get me wrong, I was depressed at times, and wanted to give up....but with the support I've had I knew things had to get better. I was able to go on because of all the support from family, a very caring doctor and friends. Just glad to have this chapter behind me.
I have always said, it's not fair, that they have such a short life span. But that gives us humans another chance to give a cast off animal , a good life.
You made me laugh out loud. That was the best post for the day. Thanks. xoxoGlad to hear that you have selected a breed that consistently pleases you, and fits nicely with your family.
We just get whatever mutt in the dog shelter looks fun and friendly. Plus, the shelter's prices are reasonable. Actually, (and @Gabe1 and @donaldtoo will appreciate this too) we got a bargain when we got Jack--he was on SALE !!!
Yes, I was glad it happened after the trip. Hubby lets me rest when I need to.

Or to borrow a recent quote from @figmentfan423 :
After going to Disney so many years, and with daughter being an expert on how to tour, we don't spend anytime on useless energy.
Thank you, you have a very sweet soul.All that support and caring was maybe half of it. The other half (or more) came from your own inner strength and will power. Happy that it's all behind you now.

Yeah, a real rough day. We all got it today. Oy
Better not go anywhere without your umbrella! (And that goes for your flip flip beer run!)

Thank you, you certainly know it's a long road back. You've had it rough too. I had a rare tumor, it took over nine month's and yes, 69 vials of blood to find out what was happening. They had to find out why I was leaching out copious amounts of calcium out of my bones. It took a long time to track. And I finally got to the point, I was sleeping 22 hours a day. I could barely walk from one side of a room to another. I didn't cook, clean, or anything...but get out of bed take a shower, and go back to bed. I ate when hubby came home and before he went to work. He made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. The calcium was in my blood and kidneys so much, that I got kidney stones, and had to have lithotripsy, surgery...to break them up out of my kidney. Life is what is it is. Don't feel sorry for me, I enjoy each and every good moment, this has strengthen my faith, in God and humanity, I had wonderful and caring nurses along the way. I take nothing for granted, and love every good experience, and savor the time with family.
