Lori, I'm so sorryGood 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.
...I know how much you loved Rita...they sure do burrow their way into our hearts and truly do become part of the family. Just remember that she's romping around free of pain now and will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge...love and huge (((HUGS))) to you!
Thank you so much!!Lori, I'm so sorry

Good evening lurkers
Dale, stay safe.
The news here was saying people could be without power for several days. I’m hoping that isn’t the case. Got my flashlights, batteries, candles ready and gassed up the vehicles. 
Joey, that’s great you’re getting a long weekend. Yay!! Enjoy
Shad, I’m so sorry this is hanging on. Hope you get some relief soon.
Had a dinner date with just kiddo
loved the one on one time with him. Such a gentleman he is. Tomorrow we’re going to see a movie but will allow DH to come along

They keep predicting bad weather but you know how it is It has begun to rain but it’s not storming; I expect that will happen late in the night as usual. Hope you don’t lose your power
