Thinking of making a loaf of multigrain cinnamon raisin swirl bread. Thats as far as I have gotten. NEED coffee!
It's around 3 am our time and we just said our final goodbyes to our brave little pup, Joie. Violet found him and woke TB up. His breathing was horribly laboured last night and he wouldn't take any of his medication or food. He also looked at us longingly but if we tried to console him he would walk away (walking being difficult). I wanted to stay up but having done that the better part of 2 nights and with my own pains, I couldn't.
But he is now a peace and isn't hurting. We had made the decision when we went to bed that we would take him to the vet in the morning...it was time. But now we don't have to carry out that decision. Violet seems a little better and is her usual self trying to console us.
I will miss my little man, but I have so many good memories and I just couldn't stand to see him so sick.
RIP, Joie. You were loved so much.
Thank you for sharing, what a great story! Also buckytom how nice of you you to be so caring to help that young man on the team. Memories that will last a lifetime!Sitting here with my faith renewed in the young people in our communities:
Act of sportsmanship gives Texas high schooler shot at glory - CBS News
That crossed my mind too.
And yes, great story Tom.
I'm just wondering what (in the second to last paragraph) "...(we lost) he told me that he went 2 for 2, so our head coach gave him the game ball." means.
I have a horrid task ahead...cooking up 3 pounds of bacon ends and pieces, mostly for the bacon grease. The package was $2 off regular price. I use the bacon bits in my salads and soups.
So, I will be filling the apartment with the smell of bacon...
I cooked up two pounds of bacon this morning for breakfast and future uses. I actually didn't need the fat...
That's exactly what I was thinking.Andy, I am sure glad you added the "and future uses"...

Oh Laurie, i'm so sorry. Haven't been following mush here diaylsis has whiped me out ately . Know how much I understand what this means for you. I had to put my Maggie down a few years ago and I have her little box here with me there are meny times I hold it and cry. it still hurts me so. Have some peace Laurie I"ll hold you close in my heart and thoughts. Love to you and TB.Thanks, everyone, for your condolences and encouragement. I have had a few good cries, and I even had a session where I just didn't want to believe it and wanted him back, but for the most part I have a peace about it. Violet is sticking close to us but I think even she understands he isn't suffering. I think her being the one to find him was the best for all of us.
Today is get back to reality day. We have been off our diets through all of this, eating takeout, Chinese with TB's parents, etc. and today it's back to our watching our intolerances.
We are going to remove all of Joie's things except his two favourite toys which Violet seems to be moving all over the house - we will let her have them just for a little while.
We are also going to start doing serious thinking about whether we continue renovating this place the way we want it or just getting it in shape to sell and move closer to family and TB's work (still not far from here, but more convenient).
