Morning, all.
Once again, the weather guessers got it... wrong.
Half inch of rain, soggy commute. Well, maybe somewhere, not a drop here... Wish I'd had a career where I got paid for, oh,, what, 20% right?? Hope it's just late.
I'll help. Isn't that what canes are for?

Just about finished packing and I think I have got it down to one bag (a really big duffel bag).
Hey, that's better than last time. A couple more trips and I'll have it down to the clothes on my back and medication.
Yeah, right. heehee
Morning, all.
We did wind up with some, well, almost rain. 0.07"... other places did get more, so some help on the fires. Maybe some more on Sunday. Or not.

Sad to say, but we had to put our beautiful, sweet Phoebe to sleep on Wednesday. The blood work and ultra sound came back. She had severe pancreatitis and every organ in her little body except her lungs and brain had problems. They couldn't rule out cancer in a couple of them. She hardly benefitted from the IV fluids the night before. Our girls are 18 years old so there was no way we'd put her through surgery and the vet agreed.
This animal hospital was staffed with the most compassionate people from the front desk to the docs. We were taken into a homey little sitting room with couches and they brought her in on a lovely fluffy blanket so we could spend as much time as we needed with her.
The good thing is that we still have her sister Maggie with us so now she gets twice as much loving. You'd never guess she was 18. She still looks in her prime unless you noticed she has to use the portable steps to get on the bed and couch due to arthritis in her spine.
So, we're very sad right now but are thankful for 18 wonderful years with her.

Hola ..
“I want to be there
Want to go back down and lie beside the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
And I’m a chewin’ on a honeysuckle vine.”

So sad to hear about this.
Morning, all.
Didn't get as hot as guessed, only mid 80s here, so won't complain about their error
Still no rain, of course.
Sad to hear that Jimmy Buffet has left the building

Never an easy decision, but the right one.
So very sorry.

Thank you everyone, I appreciate it. Most of you have lost at least one pet and know how hard it can be to say goodbye, but I keep remembering the 18 years of love and I'm thankful she was in our lives and that helps a lot.
I bet Phoebe and Jimmy are enjoying each others company on a beach chair somewhere in the sunshine.
Morning, all.
Still no rain here, light showers scattered every where else in western WA...
But it does seem we're out of the hot weather, nice seasonal temps in the guess for the week.
Yes, the price of caring for them. Years of joy and love. And more years of fond memories.

We're headed over to our son's house today. Just going to hang out and eat a lot. He likes to grill and I think there might be steak involved so I'm really looking forward to it.
Anybody else have any plans for this Labor Day?
