It looks like Celtic Diva has received sort of an early Christmas present this week. Her FOIA email request has come in. She talks of some surprises and she will be putting together a post with more details to come. We will be waiting...... maybe S'error will get a lump of coal in her stocking from the emails.

It is never an easy decision to euthanize an animal; however, I would like to share a thought with you from an article I read years ago. It has helped me through some very bad times, especially when I had to euthanize my search and rescue dogs. One was old and having seizures we couldn't control. The other was an 11-year-old golden retriever that developed bone cancer. The thrust of the article was that sometimes euthanasia is the greatest act of love that we can do for our beloved pets. It is something we often wish that we could do for the people we love who are suffering so terribly with terminal illness. The rule of thumb I use for my pets is this: What is their quality of life? Am I keeping this animal alive for me or for him? I hope this helps you or at least gives you some comfort in this difficult time. Lovemydogs, all my love to you and your dog.

Looks like one. Lovely photo. Stay warm up there! It's chilly here - 35, but you probably think that sounds warm about now! AKM, is the flower a Ranunculus (buttercup)? Looks like one. Lovely photo.

I had to let a dog and and older cat go to rainbow ridge,Molly Mae was blind and had tumors that could not be taken care of,My cat scruffy had diabetes and went into a coma and the vet did not think she would make it.I will say we had a cat the had leukemia and the vet told us not to give up on her,I had to take her in every other day for her shot,well in the end she beat it and lived for another 18 years before she got so bad she couldn't control her self.You do what you have to do so they don't suffer any more than they have to...I had an Aunt that had cancer,don't remember what kind but she wouldn't have chemo.Instead she traveled with her Husband and enjoyed the life she had left. Back than chemo really made you sick. It was her choice. (((lovemydogs))).
