Thursday MishMash
June 5th, 2008 . by CaryI don’t know where to start.
Yesterday afternoon (as TMBWitW was working from home, right before a Very Important Conference Call/Online Meeting) the connection was lost to the Internet. Where’s Al Gore when you need him? Several hours and many, many reboots and conversations with Cox later, and we are back online.
What a time frame to not have access – Shrillary basically hands the DemocRAT nomination to the Obamanation and then begs for the Veep slot. (I don’t know about BHO, but I would be remembering Vincent Foster when considering any dealings with Her Royal Pantsuit)
Ann Coulter has a lovely little piece on the whole affair, with some commentary about hypocrisy, in her weekly article.
I’ve added a link to my blogroll – her name is Samantha West, and she stores her thoughts here. She is very pro-military. I like her already.
I have three cats that need to find a new home – they are picking on the older two, and TMBWitW is not going to put up with that for much longer. Adopting them out is going to be much more humane than putting them on the street.
Speaking of pets – Logan is not doing real well. I introduced you to him here and for comparison purposes, here’s a recent photo:
Well, his polyneuropathy is starting to affect his bladder control. He has left a couple of puddles this week, and last week there was a bit of a BM issue by the back door. (when I went to help him stand up, it happened. I think he already needed to go, and my lifting him kind of added to the pressure.) We were told he would live between three and five years, and he just turned three. We might be losing him sooner than later. I am not looking forward to this stage of his life with us.
Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, listen to The O Word on BlogTalkRadio, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!
Brother Cary, I feel for ya, man. I have two dogs and one of them is about 13. She is having some difficulties these days also.
A “former Marine.” “Once a marine, always a marine” I always heard. I’m former Army, ’66-’68. Appreciate your support of our brothers and sisters in arms.
I’m not on your list of those against Obama for president but I’m certainly against Obama for president.
God bless you, Cary.
Johnny – thank you.
For your kind words;
for your service to our country (and, welcome home);
and for stopping by today.
Next time you are by – check the profile again. I’ve taken your words to heart.
Oh Cary, you know how I feel about fur children.
They have doggy diapers by the way, might help with the piddling. Please give him a hug and a snout kiss from me. Poor baby boy.
Yes, Jenn, I do know how you feel about the furkids. The diapers are the next step.
Consider him hugged and kissed. By the way, he sends his best to Birdy.
Cary,
What a beautiful face that Logan pup of yours has!
I had a similar experience when I had to put my Augie down because his system could not handle any pain medication after successful spinal surgery. We tried absolutely everything including accupuncture for his pain.
Man it was hard too, because on the days I would give him pain meds, he would run and chase the squirrels like he was a pup. Then next day he’d bleed from both ends and go into convulsions from the pain meds tearing his tummy lining up.
But here’s the deal, Logan has had the best life possible because of you and your family, and so when the day comes that he must be put down, he will have had the very best life possible and lots of love.
You’re awesome! And hug all your critters for me!
Thanks, Samantha!
Yes, he’s a wonderful boy, and a joy to have around. He is always happy, and it doesn’t appear that he is experiencing any pain – yet.
I know the time is coming, and we just want to love him as much as possible before he heads for the Rainbow Bridge.
Consider them all hugged, and consider yourself doggy-kissed back!
I lost many pets over the years. Each is hard. I usually go through a period where I don’t want to get another. I usually break after a few months.
There is always more love to go around.
It is hard, ablur. But always worth it.
Thanks for stopping by.
