My Thought For The Day...
I Miss our Pug! We had to have Ozzie put to sleep yesterday.
For such a little dog; it has torn a Clydesdale-sized hole in our lives...

Ozzie was also a victim of Lyme's... In spite of all of the vaccinations and boosters he must have just run into the wrong tick... It crippled him up real bad with arthritus to the point that he could barely get our of bed...
He suffered far more than he deserved... A tough; but correct decision had to be made...
Now i'm going to go home and have another good cry... I'm just an old softie when it comes to dogs and this one has been tough...

We have a small pet cemetary on the backside of the farm that has three dogs from over the years, One has a cross and a flagstone gravemarker. So I totaly understand.

Wow, this is tuff, we're both gonna say a lil prayer for you tonight Bob. Loosing a family member is always hard
Our sympathies to you Bob. We lost our huskey/wolf Maxx about 6 years ago and we still miss him. We had to have our little kitty put down 9 years ago and she broke my old hard heart.
My heart really goes out to you Bob, I know the terrible feeling of grief and loss you are going through right now. I have lost so many good buddies over the years and each had a special place in my heart and family. Don't be afraid to cry over your loss I still do when I think of these special loved ones and their unconditional love! Will keep you in my thoughts.
I might not be a veteran member or someone you know well, but I also am sorry for your loss. Over 2 years ago I lost my first inside dog. I had never owned a little dog or one that lived inside, growing up my father was allergic and I just never really got passed that until I got a Yorkie for my exwife. Not long after I ended up with 2 and then a shih tzu. I lost my Yorkie to a spinal infection, then I lost my other yorkie and shih tzu in a divorce. To be honest of all the things that happened to me the hole in my life from the loss of my pets was harder than anything else. I will offer all the good energy, karma, and prayers I can for you. Since that time a new pet has entered my life and she is my constant companion and honestly probably my best friend (as much as she can be). We will both think about you and your family.
Thanks guys...
Kathy and I are both hanging in there for right now... It's kind of funny how it takes a person whose life has been blessed with such unconditional love to really understand the depth and breadth of one's sorrow in these situations... We apprecaite all of your thoughts and concern and of course will heal; but we'll never forget... Kathy is donating his bed and toys to the local shelter so that those little guys might have their lots in life improved a little...
The trouble with time started a century ago, when Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity demolished the idea of time as a universal constant.One consequence is that the past, present, and future are not absolute.
Try living as though the past, present and future are not absolute and see where it gets you. The question is where would you like to start? Yesterday, so you'll have a little history and know who you are? Or today for the ultimate fresh beginning? Or tomorrow, giving you time to put your affairs in order? (What affairs are those, if your first day is to be tomorrow?)
See, the trouble with deep thinkers is that we all too readily take notice of their deliberations. It's our fatally flawed fascination with giant intellects and groups of intellectuals that gave us the nuclear bomb and the {false} religion of Climate Change. I put it no stronger than that.

Reason: clarity?
Since mankind doesn't face and won't face any serious problems the average Corrie viewer can't figure out in 22 minutes
we should just stop listening to those with IQs above room temperature because someone figured out how to make a weapon
from Maxwell's equations.
I'd listen to someone with an IQ above room temperature... of course, I live in the desert where it gets quite hot.
This also assumes you measure temperature on the Fahrenheit scale. Otherwise you'd be listening to nearly everyone.

No matter how pure the science, Mankind always seems ready for a new weapon. It appears to be universal. For instance, we've got kids in the UK attempting to blind airline pilots on landing approach with school classroom laser pointers. I'm puzzled as to where they get their motivation.
There's been a bit of that foolishness over here too! Don't these morons realize that they can't actually get the beam to do anything other than to upset the Authorities.. Who WILL come looking for you!
Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon
A depressing observation in a shade of blue. First make me immortal then I'll turn my attention to solving the universal problem of rainy Sunday afternoons, it's the least I could do to show my gratitude. I'm sure I could come up with a solution, given an eternity to think deeply about it. As it is my time is limited so I don't give a rat's ass if it rains or not, it's just weather doin' its thing.
