I'm glad I did because it did have a surprise, happy ending. Maybe that is why I was called to go read it, so I could let you know that everything turned out OK for Burnsie. <br /><br />I can't even watch movies, commercials, etc where there's something sad about animals. That commercial where they play that, "..in the arms of the angels..", song, I turn the channel immediately. I can handle watching or hearing about a little human cruelty, maybe not kids or old people, but not one second of animal cruelty. <br /><br />And isn't that weird that Scotties can't swim? Very weird. I thought all dogs could dog paddle.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-39742979053590453032010-07-12T05:27:10.861-05:002010-07-12T05:27:10.861-05:00Ivy, I want you to tell Hubs, for me, how much I a...Ivy, I want you to tell Hubs, for me, how much I admire and respect him and you for the way y'all deal with your pup's medical issues. With my knowledge and experience with diabetes, I'd be shaking in my boots if I had to do what y'all are doing with my Maggie girl. I'm not kiddin here. <br /><br />After doing a little surfing on the subject yesterday, you aren't alone. There are many others who have the same problem with their dogs and cats. There's a special place in heaven for you all. When anyone does these kinds of things for their little furry friends, in their care and custody, it shows the utmost respect for life. <br /><br />"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."<br /><br />That Bible verse comes to mind for me. Hey, I'm no Bible scholar but I did spend lots of time in Church growing up and a few things stuck. That verse always had particular significance for me. It has significance for me in my current job. All my peeps at work are in my care and custody and I try hard to treat them like I would want my family treated even if I think they are evil. It's not for me to judge.... but can't say I haven't. <br /><br />Ya know, the way people treat animals, both theirs and others, tells me all I need to know about them.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-89422183464603272322010-07-11T20:37:47.453-05:002010-07-11T20:37:47.453-05:00Coreen, where are ought thou?Coreen, where are ought thou?Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-7946799025961386202010-07-11T20:20:03.513-05:002010-07-11T20:20:03.513-05:00Jan, they came in but I fought with it for a while...Jan, they came in but I fought with it for a while and couldn't make it work.

Joy to the world...<br /><br />Speaking of Joy to the World, I love Christmas in July. We'll be in Estes Park at the end of the month. There is a shop there that is all Christmas all the time. I can't wait to visit it.<br /><br />Bear Woman already gave me her "wish list." She is starting to harvest fruit from their orchard to turn into jams and preserves for holiday gifts for us. <br /><br />Jan, you asked a few threads ago about the long-standing friendship between me and Bear Woman. We met at Girl Scout camp when were were eleven years old.Ivy Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280286975346056230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-82211384046592485292010-07-11T18:06:52.936-05:002010-07-11T18:06:52.936-05:00Offended Jan, heck no.

Didn't want to leave Maggie here alone for too long. She might have found some booze somewhere and tried to light up like the rest of this neighborhood. <br /><br />Did y'all hear there was a solar eclipse today? I wonder if they can say we had a solar eclipse if only a few people on remote islands in the middle of nowhere could see it. Only had a few clouds eclipsing my sun down here today and welcomed every one of them.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-57200775396264616992010-07-11T16:14:38.270-05:002010-07-11T16:14:38.270-05:00I just came onto the blog and falling on the floor...I just came onto the blog and falling on the floor LOL at the comments from you two.

I love the little saying about sitting with a dog on a hill. John has grieved for Lobie much more than me. I missed her a lot in the first weeks and now am ok.

I wonder if he realizes, if they are underage, he could go to jail for that??<br /><br />It's been one of those days for wreckless, dumb men. First there was this young, about 8 or so, year old kid driving a golf cart down the street. He looks like he has a developmental problem, maybe FAS. Then there was this guy on a 4 wheeler, riding a 3-4 year old, getting ready to turn on to this busy hwy with deep ditches on both sides.

The other patients made the switch already. We are the last ones to do so. Hubs had a mini-stockpile of vetsulin and we decided we would use it up before switching her. So mostly, it was our decision. Now we have no choice because they is no more vetsulin to be had.Ivy Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280286975346056230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-17397456532232385902010-07-11T14:29:34.726-05:002010-07-11T14:29:34.726-05:00Tell Hubs to drop down for some Yoga!
