I'm not thrilled at the fact I caught Mare's cold and feel like doggy :crap: on Christmas Eve ... but ehhh ... such is life.
I'm just grateful today is going to be a short day and I can go home and take a quick :alarm: before tonight's dinner. I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday! |
On my mind is an overwhelming joy of finding one of my dear old friends from my years in the US Marine Corps. I was looking at the "In Search Of" posts on the WIMSA (Women In Military Service for America) Memorial (Washington, DC) web site. I saw her name and took a chance in emailing the address provided for her and it was her!!! She served 20 years and retired as a GySgt. (Gunnery Sgt., E-7).
It was like the years just peeled away and that same old friendship and familiarity came flooding back. How good it is to find an old friend!! It's like a special Christmas present to me, from G-d, to find one of the most treasured things in life....an old friend. We are emailing back and forth now, trying to catch up on the 30 years that had lost each other. She has also made connections to even more of our old group from Camp Pendleton, so many years ago, so I'm sure I'll be able to reconnect with them, too. I hope. I could just kick myself for having lost track of all of these brave, wonderful women who were my friends when I first ventured out of the closet. What a wonderful Christmas this is, indeed. :winky::heartbeat: This for them....and us.....and that very special bond we share.

[QUOTE=Dylan;24437]We just buried my cat after staying up with him all night hoping he would go peacefully. We finally took him to the vet to be put to sleep after the seizures started.
Lesson Learned: If they don't just fall asleep and die, put them to sleep. It's not so 'peaceful' to watch the whole death process. He Was So Old, Dylan dear dylan, you have all been on my mind during this time of your kitty going on to the next step. hope you take extra good care of yourselves/each other- the best tribute to a long and wonderful life you provided for and shared with him. hugs, belle |
I miss my bestie and the new baby HUNTER BRYAN, spending over 20 hours in a hospital shows love and devotion.
I can't wait to see them both again |
I called the vet today. So far, Silver seems to be responding to the treatment she's receiving. She's still a little dehydrated, but eating and drinking again. I can go and get her Saturday, but she still has to be isolated. I'll find out more when I pick her up. All I know is she's doing good right now and I'll just take it day by day. It's been an ongoing battle for many months now. I just don't want her to suffer. I wished she'd put on some weight. I'll have to give her wet food when she gets home, so perhaps it'll help her weight.

Can't wait for the holidays to be over! :scorp:

As I sit here crying, R is on the phone with our vet. She called to tell us Silver took another bad turn. She called to ask our permission to put her down and stop the suffering. She said Silver stopped eating and drinking again. Even when she put Jr(one of our strays the vet kept) in a room with Silver, it didn't perk her up. This evening she went to check on her and she wasn't responsive at all. Said you could look in her eyes and see the fight was over. As much as I was prepared for this, it's harder than I thought. It's not like I've never had to have an animal put down or even had one die in my arms. It's just that a part of my family is gone and it leaves a big gaping hole in my heart. The vet will have Silver buried on her property for us. She's a country vet and her vet hospital is on the same property as her house. So, tonight the suffering stops for Silver as she crosses that rainbow bridge. I know that Butch, the one Silver has always known as Papa Boo will be there to meet her when she arrives. Rest in peace my sweet little girl.

Thinking about loss today. Not of the material kind because it can be replaced. I was thinking loss, whether it be human or animal, hurts like hell. Picking up the pieces and moving on isn't as easy as some think. Sometimes the pain of loss never goes away. I'm talking like decades later. One simple memory, one short conversation and all the pain comes flooding back. Wondering how many of us mask that pain. We continue our day to day living and sometimes take for granted life in itself.
