They are some of the cutest keets, but they do grow to be pretty damn ugly! But the turkeys are pretty ugly in the head too. Cracked me up when the 8 yo said the turkeys were on the roof peering in their window, and now they don't stop. I was hoping guineas would help with snakes, they don't. Found a baby cotton mouth on the way out the front door this afternoon that one of the cats killed, not missing any cats so I guess they are OK. And found a big one out back not long ago I had to shoot, so it is a myth with them and snakes, if anything the snakes are worse. But they are great at keeping the bugs and ticks down and very excellent "alarms" as the geese. And the kids love them molting, tons of polka dot feathers every where. Made the little one a very cute head dress last year for trick or treating from the molted feathers in the yard and barn.

The only reason i feel ok today is because last night i went to visit my mom and sis since they have now moved out on their own without my dad and we had a fun night...laughing and playing with the dogs. It felt good :dummy-spi and i have not been that happy in a long while....other than that i wish my hubby and i were on better terms and were getting along better.............
hope everyone is well :)

Put the little guy down today. It sucked. I bawled my eyes out. But after, he looked really peaceful there. It was quick. And I wish I could say painless, but he shrieked for a min cause of the needle. Still a bit upset. But the doctor said he wasnt going to have long anyways. She said it was the most unselfish thing to do. that made me feel good, cause I was worried I was doing something that was unecesary and could be fixed if I coughed up a little more cash. but she said his problem was pretty ireversible and would only get worse. Said he was on his last leg. He was so peacful lieing there when it was all over. Made me realize how much pain he had been in. I still kept crying though. The hubby and I got in a fight right before I went to do it, which didnt help any. But he was nicer when I got back, and took me to get a calzone. I still expected him to be at the door when we got in a few min ago. I guess it will be that way for a while. Almost through boxing everything up. Tomorow is the big day. I got a call back about a job I applied for back home. Dont know if Im going to take it though. Its a sales job for CPI home security. There is a lot of travel and odd hours. Plus it's comission based pay. I've heard it pays off realy well, but I dont know if it will work for my family. I would love the job, but I'm not sure if its whats best, or if David wil like it. Oh well. We will see I guess. Anyway. Going to go pack. Later.

CD, you did what was best and the vet told you so too. I know it hurts. You did the right thing though and think of the love and happiness y'all shared. Dont dwell on this one thing dwell on the good parts.

Good luck on your move!

That was so sad CD.... after this was raised earlier in the chat, I had to come find this post again to read. I tend to flick over posts nowadays because most of my time is within the trauma diaries.... sorry I missed this. I guess that human part is coming out of me again.

Do you think you will get another pup? Not a replacement, but a new companion?

Condolences CD. We lost our last family Hound two weeks ago. She was my last positive reason for visiting the family home. I still have my own dog with me, but I don't know how I will cope when she's gone. Hopefully that will be at least 10 years from now.

Our pets are our best friends. Especially dogs. You get the unconditional love that so many of us have missed out on from other sources. You had the courage to put his welfare first and that's what best friends do.

Well said Piglet...indeed our pets (specially dogs) are our best friends. I am sorry CD. Remember the good memories though, you will have those forever. I put my dog of 16years (Andy) down a few years ago and that was the worst time for me...i felt that i had lost my everything... the moment the vet did what he had to do i broke down, fell to the floor and started yelling that i had changed my mind about putting him down, but he was too old, he couldnt even walk anymore :( He is with me at home now and in my heart forever... but he is missed still. I have 4 beagles now and i love them all very much and they always brighten my day when i see their lil faces...even when i am down and sad, they can always make me smile. Raiden is my baby, he is my everything and i dont know what i would do without him.

Today is finally friday, i hope everyone has a decent weekend and i hope i do too :( because lately, i have not even had a decent day

 

[piglet]

I know that feeling Andrea - having a run of bad ones myself. Will appreciate the next good one much more!

Having an off day. Weird because I'm usually really happy on Fridays because of the upcoming weekend. I've a persistant left flank pain today. I've had it before and I believe it has everything to do with kidney stones, etc. Only thing to do is go to bed and lay on a heating pad. So, that's my plan today.

It's :brrr: today. And WINDY!!!!

So sorry CD....take care

nam-sorry you're hurting! drink, drink, drink!(water, that is)
i feel stronger today, been feeling like a weakling again. i am facing something i don't want to deal with, but i can, and i will. i need to get past this, and my life will uncomplicate a great deal. been a pretty good day--my hubby brought me lunch at school, and ate with me, while another teacher covered my recess duty!
