Oh no!!! I'm so sorry! She looks like a sweetie. What breed was she? She looks so much like my dog when I was growing up. Would it help you to tell us about her? Or would that be too hard yet?

Thank you. She was a very sweet, gentle natured dog. She is irreplaceable, so we’ve agreed to not even try. Besides, we can’t bear to have our hearts ripped out again.

She was a cocka-poo - half cocker spaniel/half poodle. Even the smaller breeds run 15-20 lbs, but she was the runt of the litter, and always had a tiny, delicate appetite. She never topped 8 lbs in her entire life, and certainly weighed less than that near the end.

Mike is having a very difficult day. And while I admit to keeping the tissues close by all day, for me, the worst days were Thursday through yesterday. I did NOT want to have to play God and end her precious life. That’s part of the pet-owner contract though. They promise to love you unconditionally, and you promise to put your own wishes aside if it means saving them from a painful end. Trust me, yesterday hurt me way more than it hurt her.

I’ve found some pics from happier times:

Tender photos, and thank you for sharing those with us. No wonder you cherished her. You'll see her in heaven, you k,now.

@Eric1955 , since you're the only person I know that has tried curling, I have a question for you. What kind of shoes do you wear on the ice? Trying to figure out how the heck people don't slip and fall. From the little I've seen on TV, it does appear that the person throwing the rock has to also "slide", so that would indicate there aren't any safety strips on the soles of the shoes, right?

The ice is different than ice for ice skating. Curling ice is rougher. The process to do this is called pebbling. The little ice pebbles melt as the stone passes over them. This allows the stone to glide across the ice. It also means that the ice is easier to walk on without slipping.

There are special curling shoes but I don't have any. I wear a gripper that goes over my left shoe to help keep from slipping. A slider is on the bottom of the other shoe to slide on when throwing the stone.

Home safe,sound, and exhausted - talk to you all tomorrow.

Thank you for that! Very interesting--when I've seen it on TV, the ice looked like regular ice, not pebbled ice. Glad you wear a gripper on your shoe as well.

Gotta say, peeps, that it's amazing what I learn about all kinds of things, here on the forum!!

So my daughter came in while I was watching The Eagles video @MinnieM123 posted yesterday and I was explaining a little bit about the history of the band while we watched together. So I said, “you know this is live, right?” and her response was, “wow - no autotune?!”. Yeah - no. And that is why when you play that crap you listen to I tell you these people CAN’T SING and I can’t listen to it.

Should be fully charged, I would think!

Yet, we cannot seem to get you over the "I love winter" syndrome. You refuse to learn about that. Sad!
