Maybe the word is out in the snake community, that this David guy mows with a handgun, so stay the hell out of his yard.



When we lost our dachshound, my Mom and I were bawling like babys, on our deck(she had a heart attack, and died in front of us). I remember, in between sobs, us hoping the neighbors weren't home, to hear us.
I know that they are worth the heartbreak of losing them. I met two women yesterday at U of IL, both of whom had pugs with terminal cancer, just hoping to buy a few more months with them. One of the ladies and I cried when we started talking about her baby.

Oh my - that is heartbreaking - I've never had a dog die in front of me.

The dog we recently lost - I was watching her once weekend when her back legs completely went out - she needed thousands of dollars worth of surgery -and that wouldn't have fixed her joint problem so she would have a miserable existence....we decided to put her down....it was so heartbreaking...

My whole family went to the vet's office and she was SO happy to see us all - happy and wagging her tail and licking us all - but she couldn't move - and we were all bawling like babies too.....only my brother-in-law stayed with her until the end - we couldn't take it and left.....but I'm so glad that we got to be there with her at th end.....though it was so hard....

I've only had Clancy for a little under a month now - but I'm already SO attached to her....she's such a little lovey.....
