As you have often said to me "I'm so happy you came here and shared". Same goes for you. Your words always comfort me in some way, built me up, encourage. I'm so happy to have you here, you're such an inspiration.

As Betty said, this will pass.. I'm sending you a cyber hug:)

I'll be thinking of you.

thanks for hugs. I mean it.

You are doing great Debilyn. You are an inspiration to me too. I had a scare with my little furry friend Norbert nearly a month ago. I came home from work for lunch one day and found him laying in the front yard. He saw me and tried to walk to me, but was barely able to walk. To make a long story short he had been laying in the neighbors driveway and when she left for work she backed over him. His pelvis was broken in three places. I didn't know if he was going to survive or not. I had to put a cat down a few years ago after a pit bull attack, because the cat was just too hurt to heal. I had fear of the same thing happening.

The vet was pretty sure he would recover, but not sure to what degree, as far as mobility. I was instructed to "lock him in a cage" for 6 weeks to give things time to heal. I have a workshop and he has just completed 3 weeks and 2 days.

He is walking better every day and is nosing around the door when I go in to visit him, I think he will try to make a break for the outside world soon!

I take that as a good sign.

Anyway, wish I could give you a real hug too, but just know I have been thinking about you and praying for you through the big changes you are experiencing right now.

Take care my friend!

Dear Debilyn - if I knew you I would come take you somewhere, anywhere or no where depending on you and just hang out and be a part of your day until you didn't need me anymore - I'm sorry for what you are going through.

Hi Again Deb

Wanted to check in as the day came to a close and the evening hour is here. I needed to let you know you have been in my prayers all day.

Please let us know how you are doing

Hey D,
It's me from over that big pond...just popped in and I saw your post. Oh my oh my...I remember when dear Walter was suffering and how touched I was...and now you have three of them to cope with losing and all at the same time.

HUGS honey, Camomile Tea, and pink fluffy slippers (you told me you had pink fluffy slippers). Keep your chin up. Keeping you in my prayers as I visualise you on your mountain whilst I am down here in the rain sodden valley of middle England.

Hold on,

With love,
Suzannah

I have had to put loved pets down, the one I remember the most was my big yellow loving cat, he loved me so much and I ran over him in the driveway, I couldn't believe I could have been so careless as not to watch him better, it still haunts me to this day.

I am sending you a long, long tight hug and thoughts of caring your way.

Thank you hot rod lady and all.

I ended up turning my tv full blast with orange ear plugs in. Had all six dogs up on my bed with me. We ate fake cheese and blueberries together.

Bless my neighbor/tenants hearts for helping me with this. They are so strong. I took money off their rent and gave them a chocolate pie.

Now I know they are at peace. No more hurting joints. My best boy Arn was off one leg and he was huge.

I have not been pigless since 1985.

Thank you so much for all your caring. I just could not talk to anyone. Had to stay here. But I tell ya, I want out of here up to my cabin so bad. I wish I could just pack up and go. But have to wait for the cash thing for keys. sigh.

I am going to get lots up there starting tuesday. Its things like my gliders, old milk can. important stuff.....My son is bringing wood in his van and putting my panels on top.

Just want out of here now this minute. thank you for all the hugs.

thanks for keeping me duct taped together. love,deb
