Isn’t there some kind of large cash award for having two diaries on the rec list?
Oui has had 4 up at once, and if memory serves, I once had 3. So, if BooMan gets a reward for that, he can put it on my tab!! (Oui’s too.)
I’ve been slaving away at work all day and might have missed an update. How’s Boo the pooch?
Hi. Thanks for your concern. I can’t write it again, but I did explain the bad news here.
Hi BooMan, I tried to link to this so you wouldn’t have to, but I couldn’t get the direct link to your comment before you did. Sorry…
BooMan, I’ve been away from my computer. I’m so sorry to hear this.
🙁
I’m sorry to hear it, BooMan. Make sure you let your real life (and online) friends help you with the next few days.
My heart is broken for you. No wonder you’re looking for a happy story.
The only one I can think of quickly is that perhaps your prediction will be right and Fitzmas is just around the corner. I know that nothing will make it all better – but I’m sure a frog march would help.
Booman,
I am so sorry to hear this. I hope this prayer will comfort you and your family at this time:
This we know: every living thing is yours and returns to you. As we ponder this mystery we give you thanks for the life of Buster and we now commit him into your loving hands.
Gentle God: fragile is your world, delicate are your creatures, and costly is your love which bears and redeems us all.
Holy Creator, give us eyes to see and ears to hear how every living thing speaks to us of your love. Let us be awestruck at your creation and daily sing your praises.
Especially, create within us a spirit of gratitude for the life of this beloved pet who has lived among
us and given us freely of his love. Even in our sorrow we have cause for joy for we know that all creatures who died on earth shall live again in your new creation.
Amen.
Amen. Booman, I am so sorry to hear about booman. I know how you must feel..Those of us that have lost our loved pets are always with someone who looses one or has a veeeeeery sick one. My prayers are coming for you and booman…hugs
Having gone through this loss process many times in my life and being a super pet lover, my suggestion is to get another Dog as soon as you feel up to it. Do not wait too long.
I’m feel so sad and wish I could give you a hug.
That’s about all that comes to mind right now — wish I could be a bit more inspiring…
Blessings and peace to both of you in the time you have left…
:'(
the next harrah’s jerry doe expose~
Thought you all might be tired of the plame affair..:o) A little added cia gossip for ya all..since this is an open thread…
2 days ago I (finally) got this bumper sticker and put it on my car:
Today as I was getting into my car, a middle aged black woman told me she liked it and asked me where I bought it. I gave her the website address, and she replied “I’ll have to get one of those. Everybody should have one.”
Damn straight.
I don’t have a happy story. Social worker screwed up and now I have to straighten out a mess that I thought was taken care of.
I would love to have a government job.
(Seriously, she’s not that bad, but this was a really idiotic screw up.)
BooMan, sorry to hear about your buddy. ):
Best I can do
I’ve been to Indiana and I don’t blame him!!!
As you wish.
