| I'm a day late reporting, but it was dry and cold. About 34 of your yankee degrees.
Usual morning being a taxi driver - 10 year old son to soccer, 13 year old daughter to piano lesson. But then it was a day to remember. All on my ownsome i drove into London , went to an art exhibition, bought some cds and then had a fantastic meal before watching the incredible Richard Galliano in concert with Gary Burton as his special guest. Got home around midnight. I could use a few more Saturdays like this each year. |

BTW lest you all think that all I did was sit on the bach porch and play my 12 string, I DID do some yard work for several hours, took a shower, THEN played my 12 string. :)
I've enjoyed reading what everyone else does, (when their not at the computer posting).
The weather reports were also interesting,(saved my enough time not having to enter a lot of zip codes at weather.com. :D
Time I used trying to figure out how to post a picture. :cool: |

Location: south east Michigan | Just got back from a quick, short get-away weekend. Chicken dinner in Frankenmuth yesterday (Cruster..you know what I'm talking about). Outlet mall shopping with the better half. Another great dinner at my favorite place... B.D.'s Mongolian Barbeque.
I got some guitar time planned after I get caught up with the OFC. |

I'm afraid that the whole weekend has been a write-off. Yesterday, I managed to watch the rugby and do the ironing before I went back to bed, and today acheived even less.
Just appear to have eaten something that is disagreeing with me in a colourful manner! I usually do much more with my weekends, honest!
Will be fine by tomorrow, when it's all out of my system.

I got some guitar time planned after I get caught up with the OFC. I refuse to eat at either of the Bavarian family-style joints in F'muth. The local nomenclature is 'come-back chicken.' As in the chicken that comes back to the kitchen comes back to the table. Every eighteen months or so, one of the local news stations will do an 'expose.' To be fair, though, I don't eat meat on a bone, as it makes me queasy. Take it off the bone and I'm fine. I just can't eat it on the bone. Weird, I know. |

Peace. |

I have been crying all day ....worst day of my life when i put Echo down, she was 13...still don't like to think about it six years later. Only thing that works for me, is to tell myself I never would have done it (or even thought about it) unless it was the right time.

Location: Cicero, NY | I would have to believe that a lot of us have been there, OLJ, and will be very sympathetic. I had to put ours down at 15 years and fought it all the way until I decided that he deserved better than his body was allowing him at the time.
Better days are coming your way. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | My wife and daughter did the deed for me. Festus was a 16 year old Brittany that had been my hunting buddy and our first child. When a dog that used to jump 6 foot fences and could run all day got to the point were he couldn't make his back legs work, it was time. |

Location: East Tennessee | OLJ,
Sorry to hear about your dog. I had a similar experience about 12 years ago. I know saying that doesn't make your loss any easier, just wanted to let you know we'll be thinking of you.
P.S. Let us know about the CV68. |

Location: Avondale, AZ | Thanks G.G.G. It does help. The hardest part will be telling the kids. I going to pick them up tonight. They are so young and are going to be so hurt.
I did open my CV68. They sent the wrong guitar. See my other thread for more info.
Thank you all for the kind words. I am feeling better. It was so hard to say good bye. |

Had some great dogs (and cats) as family members. Our most recent old cat requires about $400 in dental work soon. I didn't win that discussion either. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Our dog had her spleen out last week, big tumor, a day away from buying it, it was noncancerous, she had ice cream today at the Dairy Queen. Finished another Telematic with a Phat Cat neck and Jerry Donahue bridge. Sounds pretty sweet. Golf tomorrow and the relatives leave in two days. |

Location: SoCal | I've got about $7k invested in the knees of one of my dogs. You do what you've got to do.
But I wouldn't pay for surgery for the same dog because he ate part of my son's swim mask. He finally threw that back up.
I'll pay for what isn't his fault, but I won't pay for stupidity.
But damn, dogs are addicting. The worst thing about having a dog is realizing that you'll probably never be without a dog again. |
