Good morning AngelGood morning lovely lurkers.
Shad, sorry you've been sick...hope you're feeling better soon...that flu has been really bad this year...I've had several clients and employees down with it already...I walk around with Lysol.
College boy told me last night they were getting their second snow storm in a week...he then informed me that he was over the snow and never wanted to see any again!
Boss took us out again for margaritas last night...we've decided to call it our little Tuesday night therapy group!
Hope everyone has a great day!
kidding. I would have to agree with your son, I’m over this winter...snow, ice, freezing rain, wintry mix. Done! hope you have a good night at work. 
I canceled family dinner for the weekend because the bug hit my brother/sil. Not taking any chances.
Good evening SaraGood evening lurkers
Angel, margaritas for dinner sound positively perfect!! Well any alcohol
Dale, yay!! Hope you had an awesome day after getting to sleep in.
Hiya, Joey
We were inadvertantly exposed to the stomach bug. But it’s been 3 days with no symptoms, so I’m pretty sure we’re in the clear.
Glad you escaped the stomach bug We had decent weather in the lower 50’s but they are saying Saturday we’ll have more bad storms 
Yes, I’ve heard it’s a pretty nasty bug.Good evening Sara
Day was pretty good, too short of course
I hope your forecast changes for the better. We are supposed to get wind for the weekend. Similar to what it was a week or so ago. 
I bet as soon as I lay down it will come to me lol
Cold and windy is a nasty combinationYes, I’ve heard it’s a pretty nasty bug.
Glad you had a nice day, always goes by so fast when you are home.
Feel like I was supposed to do something this evening but I can’t remember what it was
Sweet dreams lurkers
Good night Sara 
Good morning SaraGood morning KC and Dale
Didn’t want to get up this morning.
Hope you all have a great day!!
I’m so terribly sorry Lori!Good evening all.
Shad, so sorry to hear you've been sick!!
Those with snow, hang in there, spring surely can't be far off!!
Dale, sure hope you don't get sick too!!
So, just a flyby really, we had to put Rita down last night, and I'm just kind of out of sorts.
It happened so fast, I had taken her after work for her monthly check and pain shot for her arthritis, and all was well/normal.
Came home and fed her, we ate, and she started getting sick/having problems.
I thought it was a reaction to the shot or something, her stomach grew to the size of a med. melon, taught and hard, she was in severe distress, and dry heaving.
I called the vet's emergency, after hours service, and he called right back.
We ended up rushing her back there, and he gave her enough gas to just barely put her to sleep/relax her and ran a tube into her stomach, but nothing came out.
Sadly, the issue was outside of her stomach, something internally had given out, and she had a massive internal bleed.
He said it's not uncommon with extremely old dogs, just one of many things that can go wrong.
So, we had no choice.
I'm okay, but a wreck, this too shall pass, just all a part of being a pet owner.
Hard to say goodbye to such a good buddy.
I've known it's been coming, but was still unprepared when the time actually came.
She had a really good, long life, and it was time, she hadn't been doing well, very little quality of life for awhile now.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know.
Hugs and love to you keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
I’m so terribly sorry Lori!
Thank you so much, much appreciated.I’m so sorry, Lori
So sorry for your pooch no words can express how someone feels after a family member passes. Big hug for youGood evening all.
