@goldstone. So so soooooo glad to hear you are doing better. We all have our moments when we just need to cry out our despair. I understand and send my love.
Hi all,
Just checking in to say hi. Planting season is here, so- Rough couple of weeks-lost a beloved pet and remembering the anniversary deaths of loved ones. But so far, so good otherwise, being careful, staying home and staying busy!
I am sorry about your pet, that must be difficult. Pets are members of our family.
I am curious, what did you decide to plant this season? I'm I remembering correctly, do you have a farm?
@polarberry As a cat parent and cat “slave”, I feel your pain. Words are really meaningless at a time like this but there must be a little comfort from knowing you gave your beloved pet the best life possible.
Thanks, everyone. We had him a long time-almost fourteen years. I miss him. He was in a lot of pain so I'm glad he's running free now. Labrador. One of my favorite memories of him is the time he got out and ran off. He heard us calling him, the big turkey, but he loved to run. He came home seven hours later, caked with mud and reeking of cow dung and garbage and Lord knows what else. We opened the front door and he slunk in, and went and laid down by the fireplace. He wouldn't make eye contact for hours. LOL
Lovendures, it's not officially a farm-we call it that, but we have no livestock except some planned chickens. We finally got around to tearing down the nasty coop that was here when we bought the place and haven't gotten a new one yet. Hopefully in the fall.
It looks like one though, minus the heavy equipment. It's acreage, and we grow-ready?-gooseberries, currants, grapes, boysenberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries of all kinds, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, melons, and rhubarb. Trees-cherry, peach, apple, and we're going to put in plum, pear and nectarine soon.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. What a wonderful story about him! Quite the character, and quite the delight. You all were so blessed to share this life together.
My sincere sympathy at the loss of your sweet fur baby ? I know he's always going to be around you though...his energy is with you. I still miss my little Ibbles (i know funny name). He was a toy fox terrier, English breed and I lost him over 24 yrs ago. ❤️ ?
@polarberry hey Polarberry, glad you are back! i was wondering where you were. Very sorry about your pup. Your garden sounds amazing, tho!
@triciact my dog was half fox terrier and half poodle, and i also lost him about 24 years ago. You never stop missing them
Hi Unk,
Thanks!! Didn't mean to concern; just a lot going on. The garden is pretty cool; a lot of work though. I like plants.
So, this dog and I had a years-long battle for the fireplace in the winter. When I am cold, I like to stand directly in front of it until I warm up. That was his favorite sleeping spot, especially as he got older. So I'd walk over, tell him to move, and he'd look at me as if to say, "Whatcha gonna do about it?" Or he would ignore eye contact but leisurely stretch his entire body like, aw, warmth! He was a big boy. There were times when I actually got down on all fours to slide him out of the way. Then as soon as I left, he'd be right back in front of it and the situation would start all over again. The whole family jokes about it.
They really are like kids with fur.
