Tirama -- Yea for DH! So sorry Tiffany had such a hard time with the thunderstorms.
Wendy -- Sorry about the car and the mess up with the tournaments.
Tee -- Thanks for the tornado pic. That's about as close as I ever want to get to one. Your boys are so cute! A pound each? That's a lot for them! Glad the tummy troubles are over.

I missed the puppy pictures, how adorable. I'm going to miss mine so much this summer. It is really, really nice not to have fur on anything, though. I actually bought some black clothing last summer.
And I also forgot to congratulate Tirama's hubby. I've read various things about his disease, I'm so glad it's responding so well to treatment.

Wow Tee they have grown!. They really are adorable.
Tirama that is terrific news for your husband, not so great for poor Tiff. I hope she is feeling better.
It is very hard for me to beleive that Winston has been gone for three weeks this week. I miss him terribly and the rooms just feel empty without him. I still catch myself talking to him. Tank misses play time, I'm just not the same in a tug o war. So I have decided I am getting another furry friend. I know some might think it is soon but for me it isn't. I can barely stand the quiet and I have had two dogs for 5 years now with a spell of almost a yr in the middle with only one, and the only reason that was was because my husband made a big stink about it. Frankly if I could have more I would but 2 is the limit without a kennel permit. I thought about adopting a shelter dog but I really love the puppy experience, housetraining watching them learn and grow, etc so I am going to get a puppy. I thought if I started now it would be mid summer. I contacted the breeder and one of my guy's sisters is preggers due in a couple of weeks. So I will have a new family member by mid June.

Tirama...So glad your husband is doing better. That's great news.
Tee...How cute your puppies are. They look identical, except the one on the left looks a shade bigger. Glad that they are over their tummy troubles. Cleaning up puke gets old fast, not that they could help that though.
Oscar...Good for you! You gotta do what you gotta do.
stusue...Thinking of you and your mom.

{{{ oscar & Tank }}} I had a friend who swore he was never going to get another pet after his died. He even threw out all the bowls and toys, etc. That lasted about 2 weeks. Hope you both enjoy the puppy.

thanks, now I'm going to have to think of names, any suggestions are welcome. I have one that I keep going back to.

To everyone who's been thinking of me and my mum, thanks so much!
Tirama, what great news about your DH! I sure hope he continues as he's doing.
Tee, what cute puppies!
Wendy, good luck with everything!
Oscar, I'm sure you'll be missing Winston terribly for a long time. He was your best mate, after all. Good luck with the new puppy. I'm sure both you and Tank will love having another playmate around ... and everything that comes with a new little puppy.
And lots and lots and lots of hugs to everyone who needs one!

My mum broke my heart last night.
We've been losing carers as Mum's lived a LOT longer than expected ... 7 weeks ago she was given only a few days to live, maybe as much as a couple of weeks, if she was lucky ... and she's still going strong and doesn't appear anywhere near the end. And last night, after hearing that we're losing her favourite carer who comes 3 days a week, she got really upset, saying that she's really upset everyone and everything because she's still here, being looked after by us, because we feed her too well so she's putting on weight, we look after her too well, and we give her her medication. She said that we should just stop feeding her so well and stop giving her her medicaiton so that she can go quickly so that we can get on with our lives. My heart broke, hearing Mum say that, as if she's a burden. My sister and I tried to convince her that we love being able to spend such quality time with her and that we don't want her to go anytime soon.
She said that she wanted to watch something fun on TV as she needed cheering up. I'd spent the day in bed yesterday as I was so sick, and felt awful as I hadn't been there for her as she was going through this (my sister was with her, though) but told her a really funny story about the state I was in when I woke up in the early hours of the morning a few mornings ago ... long story ... which had her LOL.
She's a bit happier today but still not her usual self.
And my heart's still broken.

stusue, so sorry that you aren't feeling well. It's so hard to watch our parents decline but the time spent together and the memories you'll have forever, makes it worth the heartbreak we have to go through. I know she feels like a burden but I bet deep down, she is so thankful she has you both there with her. {{{Hugs}}}} and prayers for you all.
oscar, so glad you are getting another little playmate for tank and a companion for you. It's been a long time since I have had puppies, but I already see them getting bigger and I'm trying to enjoy every minute. I love it when I talk to them and they cock their heads as if they are trying to understand what I am saying to them. Baxter is the chunkier one and is already getting longer and taller so I'm thinking he will be over 5 lbs for sure. Bailey is sleeker but boy, he can outrun Baxter when they are running in the front yard. It is so funny to see and Baxter finally justs sits, to catch his breath, and then before you know it, he's tackling him.

awww stusue. I'm so sorry you're still having such a rough time physically. And I'm doubly sorry about your mom. She shouldn't feel like a burden. She isn't a burden. I can certainly see why she broke your heart when she said that. Why, may I ask, are yiou losing carers? {{{HUGS}}} to all of you.
