I know it is a hard decision, I just asked my DH is I would go to Hell for taking Duke to the dr to be put to sleep to end his pain and suffering. He said he didn't think so.
I keep thinking if I did that to my dog, my kids might think it was okay to do that to me, and then I felt no way!
But , if he keeps falling, stumbling and if his tumors grow larger, I will have to let him go to Heaven and wait for me.
Here is Duke the 16 yr old Beagle, my best Gardening friend I have ever had, hanging out in the downstairs "back yard" as if we were really out there .
Never an easy decision, my heart is with you.
hi all,the pics of the flowers and the furbabies are really great to look at.
i need to get another pic of jake so you all can see how much hes grown.
he is so onery,and runs like a greyhound.if i didn't know better,i'd say he's part.
today was part cloudy but when the sun was out it was so nice and alot of snow has melted.i'm so glad.
want to see some green stuff,even a weed will do.
mailed out some envelopes yest.i need to make one more,and then get more envelopes.
hope you gals like what i made.
hugs to all
retta
yes that is a very hard decision to make.i had to do it to my jennie back in 1997.had her a long time and i still think of my traveling buddy,cause thats what we did.
i feel for you two ladies,but the right ans.will come.
retta
I will say prayers for both dogs. The heartbreak of having to make a decision is very difficult to make. I wish you both heartfelt hugs and please Know I understand. I have been put in that place and it is never easy. How much pain can the pet take???
Blessings you two and your furbabies too.
It is soo sad when our furbabies get old and sick and there's nothing that can be done for them.I know the right answer will come for both of you ladies...Still it is just so sad. I know...been there, done that. Prayers for both of you and your pups.
Kaluah and Polly are just adorable.
Debra,I keep forgetting to ask you, what kind of tomatoes are those? This year, I think I will try Burpees Big Boy hybrid, and Tommy toes.Tommy toes are an heirloom cherry tomato, that my dad always grew when I was a kid. I thought that it was just a nickname that he called them, cause they were small, until I ran onto them on line....lol
Elizabeth, if your brug gets some color, don't forget to post another pic for us!
Dee
Good Morning Everyone
I feel for you ladies, I have also been there & done that, we had a poodle, that went Blind that was alright, but when his legs
went out, then we knew it was time, I know also that the right answer will come for you
Dee, that Brug has never had any color too it, this is the third year I have been growing it, it still just Blooms white, maybe
later on this Spring/Summer it will have some color
Karen, it's always nice too see you, 46 days till Spring, I am so looking forward too the nice weather, that we're suppose
too have
Charlene, you weather should be super nice, the next few days
Retta, I can imagine you're sending Valentines, everyone will love them
Crit, she's a cutie
Debra, I know warm weather is on it's way too you
Debra ..... Duke looks like a sweetheart.
Besides her eyes, pistol is in good health. No other problems. Up until a couple months ago when she went blind, you would of thought she was a puppy, and a lot of people did. She would jump up into my arms. Run around the yard chasing birds, squirrels, rabbits, etc. Very active little gal. So sad to see her to not able to do that anymore. She doesn't act like she is in pain, but the vet said if it is glaucoma, which she thinks that is part of the problem, that is very painful. She said they 'suffer in silence'. She never acts like she hurts. She loves to snuggle. That is what makes it so hard. She acts fine otherwise. I just don't think I can do it......I'm hoping God will do it for me if that is what should happen. I had to put my ex-husbands dog down when we were married. Ex was out of town working, and his dog attacked a baby calf. I put him on a chain, and he chewed through his collar and attacked my daughters 4-H bucket calf that was in a small pen in the barn and would of killed her had I not gone out. Poor little baby had no way to get away from him. I bawled all the way to town and had to leave work because I was so upset. He wasn't my dog and we hadn't had him near as long as I've had her. She's been through so much with me.
Thanks you all for your kind words. I know people have to make this kind of decision every day, but it's hard when it is you. I really appreciate my friends here!!!
This is Pistol about a year and a half ago.
This is Pistol and Polly in front of the Christmas tree this year. Their reflective colors sure showed up. :-)
My PC crashed and am using Maggi's laptop. We are back in the 70S and the forecast for the next two weeks show that we will be above 50 for the lows and in the 70S for the high. This may be it for Winter, strange weather.
35 days until Spring and 30 days average last frost.
Pistol and Polly are adorable.
I am about ready to start sending out plants.
Today I noticed a brug seed has sprouted, from one I stuck in of Kaitlyn x?
The poor thing still has half its cork on it tho. Now What?
I think this stuff is about ready to move back outside..
Elizabeth has your RXP gotten any color yet?
Here is Kaitlyns new Bud
Happy Valentines Day
Not counting on winter being over here! We have had blizzards in April here.
Weatherman just said our biggest snow month is March. This is a picture I took in April a couple years ago. 6" snowfall.
Good Morning Everyone

I want to say that I feel for you ladies and your furbabies they just offer so much love and companionship I have 2 of my own and a little stray (found homes for the others) they where freezing out back shivering under a piece of broken concrete :(
Sending {{hugs}} and prayers to you. So I just got in from work and there was a envie stuck in the door mmm???? sure looked mighty big for the seeds that i am waiting for?? Opened it up and the cutest thing popped out A bag holder dressed up as a pretty lil apron lol Ms Retta you really made my day!!!! What a lovely gift ^_^.

Crit, that is a beautiful picture, but I am so ready to be done with snow and ice..lol
Elizabeth, the ice is finally melting and turning to slush. I'll take slush over ice anyday. It is supposed to just keeping warmer all week. I hope my wintersown seeds don't pop!

retta
I got mine too!!!! SooOooOOooooOoO cute!!!! I was racking my brain trying to figure out who it was. lol I love it. Thanks so much retta, that was really sweet of you!
It is really strange here. The weather is warming up everyday, but there is still a lot of snow on the ground. You can be in short sleeves and be comfortable, then walk past some of that snow and the temp drops about 10* or more. Really odd having it warm and nice with snow on the ground!
Good Morning Everyone
I started a new Thread, hope too see you there, it's suppose too be really warm today, this morning it was cold, I had too get my recycle bin off the curb, I had too wear my warm coat
Dee, Sepi is on the mend, she was running around the house like a kitten, she's so entertaining, she has her stitches out Thursday
Elizabeth
Dee, so great to see you. Slush and all. We have had a couple of beautiful days here. Hope it keeps it up.
