I think you need to start hiding under it, not stepping up to it!


Did you phone your Dad to see if he agrees with your decision before the Vet does anything?

He called me about an hour later when he got out of court, he said I did the right thing but he is very upset.

I know how he feels. And you too, not a nice thing to have to do. But you can't let them suffer either.

Funny thing is my neighbor found this dog on a bridge a decade or so, when he was too young to be away from the mother. She fed him with a bottle until he was big enough, then looked for a home.
I told dad about the dog and when they met the dog peed on him, marking his territory.

Tough break, Rick. Sorry you had to make that call :/
Welcome back, Azzy. I went to Vegas a few years ago, didn't care for it but, probably going back in the fall.

Evening all! The little one head butted daddy and daddy lost his tooth over it. His new one should be be ready next week I knew there was a reason I have dental AND accident insurance.

evening Janet, wasn't too fussed on Vegas, but the interiors of the Casino's and decor was definitely worth a look, the Bellagio decor was my favourite, although we stayed at the Venetian and I liked that as well.

Always knew children were dangerous!!!

Azzy you have seen more of the states than most of us who were born here.

Speak for yourself! .

But I am jealous of her seeing the canyon. Hopefully I'll check that one off my list this summer however.

I have been to way over 1/2 the states. I will hit several new ones this year. I still need to go visit Pete and knock of a bunch of the little bitty states.

I would love to just hop in the car and drive where ever the wind may carry me. I have always wanted to do that. Someday maybe

I think I might have her beat as well... And I wasn't born here either.

Sorry to hear, Rick.

There is a Bob Segar song about pulling up at the great divide at the Rocky Mountains. The line is something like "I could go east or I could go west and it was all up to me to decide." I have been there an done that.

My mom had to make that call about my Lab last summer. I got her when I was young... Was very hard for us both


I feel your pain buddy.

Sounds like you need to make a map and start coloring in the states yellow you have peed in.

Putting my 17 yo (bestests buds companion from 6wks) down was harder than when my father passed. She was so well behaved went with and was welcome everywhere I went. Still get a little verclempt thinking about her. The golden i have now, meh, just a dog.

I did that one too. When I drove the 911 to Charleston SC it did the dragon's tail. The eastern divide was nice.
