Don't give into it.

Bought an armful of dahlias for MrsV. Peacefully.


Way to go dude !!!!

I buy lotto tickets , " Powerball ,Take me away !!!!"

V, don't take things so seriously. :haha:

Well, I hope everyone is feeling better. I had a bad day, too. I took my kitty, Rikki into the vet for his feline leukemia shot (FL is like kitty AIDS, for those of you not familiar with it.) Only cats get it, but it affects them just like AIDS does human beings. There is no cure, but there is a vaccine which prevents it. Well, before they gave him the vaccine, they tested him for the disease. The test came back positive. The vet said that Rikki probably got it from his mother - some cats are carriers and show no symptons, but asymptomatic mother cats can pass it on to their kittens. Rikki would have just got sicker and sicker and died a slow, painful death and might have infected other cats with it, as well. I told the vet to euthanize him then and there - to just get it over with. Rikki died in my arms and I cried and cried. They gave me his body, and I drove him out to the National Forest to a pretty area and laid him down under a beautiful golden oak. I scattered leaves over his body, and told him that he had become a wild thing now. Then I left him for the coyotes and ravens. Now, everytime I see a coyote or a raven or the like, I can imagine a bit of Rikki still living on in them. It was a sad day. I lost a good little friend.:(

I felt the same way. I DID go back to bed. Felt much better waking up a 11:30! Hope you regenerate over the weekend.

Hey! I'm overdrawn, too!

Hope things get better soon, BigV. I like the part about counting your blessings. That always helps.

Sorry about Rikki, Mari. Nice job on completing the circle of life.

I'll second that... dust to dust. Pets are so fleeting. :(

I have a good mood this morning)))

BigV to Mrs.V:
"How can we be overdrawn? We still have checks."

/rib

Yes, they are. At one point I decided I wasn't going to get another animal ever again because it broke my heart so much when I lost one. Then a little boy gave me a kitten he found, and I couldn't resist. Poor Rikki was with me only a year. The cat I had before him was killed by the ax murderer after I'd had that cat for 5 years. The cat BEFORE that lived to be 20. I'm going to get another cat, eventually, and maybe I'll get to keep it for 20 years, too. You can avoid the sorrow, but that also means you avoid the companionship and pleasure that pets give. Its just life (and death).
