I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

sending healing wishes to all fur babies...

as for the rest of us, we're doomed ;( US Senate now taking up where House blew it tonight.

Think I'll just get to bed early b4 I cry!

Chris's video on YouTube now well over 2 million...that's good, people are learning the truth & sharing it with friends.

{{{{ Yorkie & Chloe }}}} Seems as if were going thru this travail together too (we both started in the same December surgery group I think). Hugs to all for the love. I was so sure she would get better when she came home. There is still hope for pancreatitis, which can resolve, but the heart (and cancer) thing have me worried again. Part of the problem is just not knowing and how to proceed without knowing. Boo is working an Elizabethan now and the Vet just reported she wears it well (not tugging or pulling at her feeding tube). She hates moving to a new house, but she loves people. She's no longer hiding under the covers at the hospital, so I think she is asking for some pets and love as the techs go by. I told them about her little trick tonite and they will try it on her.

kam -- heart failure (which can be treated) seems to be a distinct possibility, especially with the fluid retention coupled by the heart murmur. The sooner you have a definite dx, the sooner Ms Boo will be on the road to good, or at least better, health. Still have digits crossed for a wonderful outcome. In the meantime, we're here for you. Many hugs.

Kam -- I pm'ed you.

Sending hugs from across the seas

Blue, esp. tell it to the elephants who we know mourn their dead, just watch a pic of the matriarch running her trunk over the bones, and if you don't cry, you aren't human.

Watch a dog mourn the death of a playmate, housemate, or a cat refuse to eat....

don't know where you're reading, but STOP. You've got so much better things to do, eat left over turkey for a start ;-)

Hugs to all who are dealing with sick fur babies...

Cats are often extreme mourners too. Blue --- yes, the animals who share our lives in only a slightly different area, are always remembered and cherished often as much or more than people. I'm not saying animals are more important then people, but only, un-like people what they give to you is completely un-conditional. In other words, they live to please you. It is their purpose.

As we must spend time in this world, often with people similar to what is going on in our government as we speak, heartless, cruel, and obviously only out for their wants, we do find comfort in those who won't even condemn that group of people -- so richly deserving.

So another torturous day begins as we all sit and wonder how this will all play out. The heartless wanton cruelty is hard to take. DJD, thanks for the chronology. It is easy to get a little lost with all the "games".

Blue, appreciate seeing your thoughts as well as I know sometimes it is hard to type. Perhaps the person making that comment to you will re-think it now. Perhaps they are one of the lucky ones that have not had to encounter losing a "special" friend. Animals un-like us so often, know when their death is approaching and they are some of the most stoic creatures about it I've ever encountered. They have a dignity some of us could never call up.

Every living thing on the earth has an energy and just because their are no words, no sounds, does not necessarily mean there is no sensation.....likely it cannot be recognized by us.

How could anyone know how animals feel about death, or about anything, for that matter? I can't even presume to know how another person feels about death, let alone animals. Sounds extraordinarily arrogant to me.

I also think that people make say these things to justify cruelty, or hunting, or just to make themselves feel better about the death of a pet.

Just got a CNN Breaking News that said the Senate has reached an agreement. No details yet....

Donna - if you are running Windows 7 and IE 9 or 10, go to the Tools menu. About 1/2 way down is Compatibility View. Make sure it is NOT checked. Then you'll get your toolbar and paragraphs will work. Cut and paste of pictures is wonky for me. With some pictures it works, others it doesn't. But using the picture's link (if it's on the internet, or uploading a picture if it's on my pc seems to always work.
