Did any of you ever read a book called "Paddle to the Sea"? The voyage of a simple toy felt epic, and I found it quite touching. The voyage of Anderson's Steadfast Tin Soldier fascinated me as well. Maybe that is why I enjoyed this video of an unusual tribute to the shuttle program.

Sigh. We have one dog that needs to be put down this week because she can no longer hold her bladder at all. At 14 years old, this is to be expected, but her quality of life no longer supports keeping her. So I finally get through that gut wrenching decision only to have the other one wake up sick this morning. At first I thought she'd just had a seizure which would be no big deal, but she's not getting back to her normal self and has yelped once or twice when one of the other animals touches her. I just hope we can hold out 'til Monday. The doggie emergency room ain't cheap.

Man, that sucks. When my dog was really ill I had a hard time functioning. One tells oneself it's dumb, but dogs, like it or not, become part of the family; we do have responsibility for their health and any undue pain we allow them to suffer. I had almost zero hope for Daisy, who had serious liver issues, and then she rather miraculously pulled through. Copper retention might have been the issue, but we tried three different treatments simultaneously and one of them must have worked.
I hope things turn out okay for your younger one.

She somehow hurt her neck. Vet thinks it's a pinched nerve and gave her some shots and pills, but we concluded while we were waiting for her turn that the emergency vet may be the most depressing place on the planet. But we're home and my wasted dog is standing there staring at me...

I'm really, really sorry to hear about your pup Zigs. Like Swede said, for many of us our pets are like family- hell forget "like family", they ARE family to me. I've been in your position before and decisions like this are very difficult on many levels. My last "go round" was with my 18 year old baby Jefferson. As you say health issues at such an age are to be expected but nothing really makes the decision, and dealing with the finality and emptiness in the wake of that decision, any easier. ***hugs***

Thanks, Cheez. I just wish that when I did actually make the decision, I could have gotten an appointment to get it over with already. I got it set in my mind and have been second guessing it ever since. And then to be at the ER with folks who desperately did not want their young dogs put down, but who had no choice was so very sad.

You think putting the dog down is hard, try burying one in a rock pile in the middle of winter.
