Himself woke me to my get help getting our senior pup to get up, or eat a treat, something, anything. Her time to cross the rainbow bridge has come. Fortunately, I have the rest of the day to spoil her. I know 14 is old for a Lab, but it still feels too soon. So, forgive me if I’m snappy snarky today, not feeling much but heartbroken
Hugs for you all Mel. Heartbreaking news.

I am so sorry to hear that Mel – it is never easy. 14 years is a long time for a Labrador, take pride in knowing you have given this pup a long loving life. Take care.

TY, all. She’s my husband’s baby. There are some things “mom magic” can’t fix. I can’t make her better, and I can’t stop Himself and the girl’s hearts from hurting :(. I feel bad he has to go to work and I get to spend the day with her

Good morning shiners! Another day, another chance to convince myself if I get my daughter some vape gear for Xmas she'll let me use it whenever I want as she doesn't vape. Think she'll see through it?



You're into photography with cameras that use interchangeable lenses? I was down that rabbit hole for many, many years, and that's way worse than vaping. If it's film rather than digital the hole is even deeper. Granted digital these days is so solid it's hard for me to even think of going back to film, especially with the nice software filters that will reproduce the quality and even the quirks of the original film stock.




I see only one word in your future. Chrome.
Lived in a home where not only my father but also his friends were photographers. I had my first (used) reflex in the 80s. I'm never giving up my cameras, but I became wiser. Went into mirrorless and I have two oldish bodies and three cheap but outstanding lenses. Yes, photography is expensive but experience helps a lot, and you can have a very nice outfit for 2000k.

Small town vets usually will occasionally give a small discount but it's not like in the cities down here. Most are like me, get them fixed and more often than not that will be their only trip to the vet barring illness. I used to trap a couple strays a year for spay/neuter until the cost literally doubled. The no kill shelters are drowning and the animal control places send almost all of the most desirables to the cities by train. My Em would have been on the train within 24h if I hadn't come in looking for a dog a hour after

If there is any consolation, look into her eyes and see the unwavering love she projects to you. Animals have an instinct. They feel and remember every act of love you have given over the years. You have given her a wonderful life. She knows that. She has lived a long and full life because of your care. Treasure this time with her, and stay as strong as you can. At this time of sadness, remember the 14 beautiful years and celebrate her life.

Disregard post above this. It was an unfinished response that must have been in the que and posted by accident.

I need desperately to distract myself...
@Letitia , would I like the elevate?
Good chance you might. It is not as low profile as the SMM but not as bulky looking as some. I'll take a pic of it with some other rtas for you. I'll put a smaller bore dt on and give it a go when my lap is free. Enjoying the peace, they have been running non stop since 6 this morning.

Phew, just steered away from buying more juice by watching reviews on YouTube (WARNING: this does NOT work with gear!).
I have more than enough, as I’ve gone through 4mls a week last 4 weeks.

I really wish I could try some new flavors, though. :oops:
I have bought so much juice lately and I know how to DIY. My whole cheese drawer in fridge is chock full (who needs cheese) and now I am working on vegetable/lettuce drawer

@NolaMel I'm so sorry to hear about your pup. I lost my lab at age 13 about 6 months ago. She was such a good girl and will always be in my memories, as with all the other pups lost over the years. Enjoy your time with her, and know she'll always be with you.

I don't know if it's because it's Christmas, but I want just want to buy stuff. Really considered buying the watch for babydoll this morning. Found a video and its gorgeous. I might wait to get paid next week, but still need to save some money for when her mom visits.

Ok, that’s the last I’ll say about it. Everyone talk about wonderful shiny things that make you smile and drool.
