The Old Folks Home

[7 Biddies]

YUP.

I let my mother go long ago. I keep up a wall now. Oh, we talk and we visit and we chat, BUT I don't let her IN.

MIL-- love her. BUt manipulation doesn't go over well with me. NOT one bit.

Family is complicated.

Ditto.

BTW, where in MA are you? I was born in Worcester and still have family in that area.

The saddest thing happened this morning. We lost our Golden Retriever. He died right in front of me. A freak accident! I was playing with one of our smaller dogs in the back yard, my Toby..that died..was jumping up on the fence, like he has a million times before, when I heard a whimper, then a clunk. I turned, saw him seizing, and knew right away, that he was dieing. But why? How?
I was hysterical. I ran into the house calling for my husband. I had gone in, then back out to Toby, but he was gasping, so I turned and ran into the house, let my husband check him out. I said, he's gone isn't he. One place, just one place in that stupid fence where he was, has a post topper, and he gets his collar stuck on it! His weight did it, when jumped down, his neck just broke. I can't believe this. Why did this happen? I have cried all morning, can't stop seeing him. We took him to the vet to have him cremated. They take him to a special place that does a real nice job with a nice box that I picked out..and the way I want his name on the box. We cremated another Golden just a couple of years ago. But he was old, and ready to be gone. My Toby was only three. I am so glad I just got pictures of him playing in the last snow storm snow. Not sure I posted those pictures.

I am so sorry!

Oh Cynthia, how sad! I am sorry.

 

[Stumpy]

That's terrible -- I am so sorry!

 

[KnobbyOaks]

So sorry for your loss. I know it hurts.

 

[dsqard]

Cynthia I am so sorry to hear about your Toby. I know how much you loved him. So hard to loose such a loved pet.

X a million

Thank you everyone. I'm better tonight. I think it made it harder being there and seeing it.

Ok, on a lighter note. I got a blue egg today. No DiDi, not from the one I got from you, hers is a light to med. cream. Nice. This is the first blue, or green egg I've gotten in a while. I have two more at POL. Also, will be colored, one of the girls is from Arielle. For all I know, that's who laid this one today, but, I haven't seen her checking out the nest boxes, but I have seen my wheaten A. check them out..so that's my guess. Then I have an EE mix, that is part leghorn, and part pure Lavender Ameraucana! Can't wait to see those eggs. Hope they are as blue as the guy says they are.

Who likes turkeys? : Saw this on another site today, and I had to save it. I think someone should make one of these carts and see if it works..with your turkeys. )

Love it!!

Quote: My mother was born in Worcester, too, and grew up in Shrews bury. Do you know Nordgrens Memorial Chapel?
