Sorry i have been absent... i have been preoccupied with an emergency situation.

We are losing another family member...

our sweet sweet Kara... our 15 year old Chihuahua... she is absolutely the sweetest dog i have ever personally known... she never even so much as barked at someone her entire life.
Her nickname is "cat-dog" for when she did bark it almost sounded like a cat.

It was sudden and unexpected... unbeknownst to us she has diabetes without any symptoms and it has taken a toll on her very quickly... and she will no longer be with us very soon.

We are in shock and of course devastated.

I will not be on in usual fashion as i am too wrecked to focus on anything online for now.

I hope all is well with everyone and wish you all goodness.
Sorry to hear
I have 4 little babies and one the same age.

I'm so sorry. Pets are the best part of life.

I’m so sorry to hear that. You’re right — they are family members.

Sorry to hear that. 🫤
 

38c today so you'd think as the sun goes down and it cools down you'd want to open up the windows and doors yes. Only if you have earplugs. The crickets are deafening here this summer. Windows stay shut, fans stay on. Volume turned up full is what they actually sound like. It makes my ears vibrate!

Ps...
Good morning TreasureNet Crew.
 

Sorry to hear ARC. Not a good morning. Just morning.😥
I am relieved she is not suffering anymore.
So for that...............It is a good morning...
and definitely better than yesterday morning.
Thank you.
 

For me... this is the ONLY part of pet ownership I hate.
It is far beyond extremely hard when you hold a life in your hands.
It is the part of this life that cuts me deeply...
and leaves a wound in my heart that never heals.

For us... our dogs are our kids...so It is like losing a child.
I am in the belief...
That dogs are truly mankind's best friend...
and one of the most amazing creations on this planet.

I would suggest....
IF you own one... or any pet for that matter ...
take a moment...
Go tell him or her that you love them and show some attention.
They are worth EVERY BIT of that time spent.
 

Good morning all. It's 60 degrees F already and the sun isn't even up yet. Crazy weather -- it was 10 below zero just a week ago.

Kid is trying to cope with her mother passing (an ex of mine.)
So I try trying to break the isolation as she's alone in the home now. Windows I can sneak out for an hour or two. Tonight should be a hardware store run with the kid but we'll see.

Old dog (two of them are 16) getting sick on the carpet kept me busy awhile last night.
Today before share my toast time the wanderer showed up and I held her awhile.
Cleaned her eyes and was bit with no teeth ion exchange. Got her warm before putting her on the firmer footing of carpeting and resumed my first cup of the day.
She wandered back almost alert.
Got held gain only just for warmth.
Eventually she had the taste of p.b. and toast that is morning.
Maybe the smell of coffee or toast triggers her direction still.

Andone dog headed for the door so I'm off.
