The Old Folks Home

We know he is very old appears he has now had a stroke have made the choice to let him go no more fear or pain for him

It's the last gift of love we ultimately have to give to them. To know when it is time to say goodbye.

Probably the best for him, but you will miss him. Hugs.

I saw this on the random funny post thread and thought many of us could relate to this!

Absolutely!

THis is my favorite low carb dessert right now. Great with frozen berries, and use almond extract.

That looks tasty


Penny, sorry for your loss. Always hard to make that decision even when you know it is the right one.

You are lucky if low carb helps you. I really can't say I notice much difference. I try to follow a gout diet as closely as possible and it's no red meat and no concentrated sugars or high fructose. If I do low carb I have no energy and drop weight like a stone. It's hard to avoid sugars and high fructose so I try to keep processed foods to a minimum. I make our bread and things like applesauce where I can control the amount of sugar that goes into what I make.

I went on a low carb diet for weight loss, but the increase in fat made my cholesterol shoot up. Well, maybe that was it. I stopped and the cholesterol didn’t drop. And I didn’t lose any weight!

In my younger years, I did lose weight on the Atkins diet, which was quite low carb and fairly high in fat. Oh well. I don’t need the cholesterol and weight data to tell me my body has changed!

Thank you Ron I believe that completely but will say it was all a bit odd seems someone loved him enough at one time to train him have him groomed and such somehow he ended up outside living under a porch getting picked on by bigger dogs a month later we had him he rode home in my lap he slept at first in crate never a whimper kennel the word he knew and was great we moved here he took to sleeping in the laundry room never a complaint
