Thanks for your words on Tank.

fudge...We made a batch of alkaline water and yuck. It didn't turn out so well, so instead just going to get a pitcher of filtered water and stick cut up lemons in it.
Ever since I read a Agatha Christie book when I was a lot younger called Peril at End House, I thought it was the coolest thing for a house to have a name. I thought about giving my home a name from time to time, but never could find one I liked. If I ever do find a name for my house I think I would greet it while coming home. Hello ________house, it is good to be back home!
Oscar...So, what do you think of it? I had to order it at the book store since they didn't carry it, but now I finally have my own copy. When I first got it from the library I would browse through it, reading a paragraph here and a paragraph there and skimming it over for like 10 days before I really settled down to read it. Once I started reading it in earnest I really started to absorb it in. I like that it is not too technical like some of them I have read. I like how it has you to look within yourself for change also, and not just change a few items in your house to see a difference in your life.

Oh dear, Sun!!! Water with the lemons will taste much better!
I've had houses with names. One was The Old Chapel, as it used to be a chapel and one was Pineapple House because of a large plant that looked like a giant pineapple.
The house I'm in now is probably the favourite of all the places I've lived even though it's just a small Victorian terrace. It's called Walter, not on the address but in my mind I mean!!! And, no, I've not been on the wine!

I wanted to let you all know that I put my big fella Tank to rest yesterday. I will forever have his pawprints on my life and I will miss him always. I trust my other boys were all waiting for him.

Oh, I am SO SO sorry to be reading this. He will always be in your heart and never forgotten.

oscar, I am so very sorry for you. If Tank was suffering you know you did the right thing. I would like to think he is with your other boys. And they will all be waiting for you at The Rainbow Bridge.

Oscar....How sad. I am very sorry to hear about Tank. Cancer is such a terrible thing for humans and dogs. It leaves so much sadness behind.

Poor Tank. I'm so sorry Oscar, that was so quick. Barely over a week since you found out. I was hoping you'd have lots more time to spoil him. I'm sure he was spoiled before anyway, but super duper spoiling. He's touched hearts, people are crying for him across the whole world, you know. I'm sitting here sobbing.
It's so hard to lose people/animals that you love. All the tears, anguish, and heartbreak. It always makes you wonder if it's worth it, you know. I guess it is, cause we keep doing it. Need all the love we can get in this big mean world.
I have my Chihuahua with me right now and I really should send him home with Daddy and big brother Kelso in a day or two, but it breaks my heart. It's the best thing to do for everybody but me, but I want him. I don't want to be without him for 5 1/2 months. I can't even imagine what it's like having a custody battle over kids.

So sorry to hear about Tank. He is free of pain, romping around with your other dogs. I know you gave him so much love and he loved having you as his "momma".
