For those of you who do not follow facebook, or who are not on my page.

I let my Dusty dog go on Febuary 29th. That had to be the hardest day I have had yet. Much harder than anything else I have endured, and just as painfull as losing a human family member. I am feeling better about my decision now that she is no longer in pain. But letting go and saying goodby was excrutiating. I spent all day on the 29th loving on her and crying. But I know she had a pain free and piecefull end.

I rescued Dusty as a 6 week old pup, and had her with me for 12 years. She was quite litterally my first child, and I will always love and miss her.

Mine did that at first but my geek DH adjusted something to slow it down. I can ask him for ya if you like or maybe it's something you can google.

Thanks Broody, but CR & Imp have schooled me where to go (LOL) so I just have to get in the Computer & adjust it.
I remember seeing the file years ago & we changed the pointer around a few times...

No, he's an Icelandic. You probably are too young, and maybe didn't get them over here, but back in the "OLD" days of radio in England we had a show called "THE GOON SHOW". They comprised, Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe, and SPIKE Milligan. Then later, they became the "Telly GOONS".

Spike Milligan was my favourite, and for some reason, this cockerel reminds me of him. (He does have a small crest, and the ladies have crests too)

(I'm getting some Brabanter eggs from Hallerlake soon - got to have MORE crested chickens!)

Ooh - Icelandics! The created girls are sooo pretty! Do you sell hatching eggs? I'll be looking for six when my first goes broody this year! (wish they'd tell me in advance!)

I make goat milk soap, its great stuff I tell ya. I'll ask around if anyone has any milk for you and let you know. If I dont get back to you let me know. Lots going on here..

Thank you! I appreciate it

I'll post again just before the show!

She died peaceful, pain free, and loved. What more could anyone ask for?

Thanks everyone. It is getting easier already, not seeing her in pain helps my heart alot. She had gone downhill very quikly over the past 2 weeks. I know I made the right call, and she is better off for it. The hardest part was saying goodby.

I have lots of memories of Dusty. Took many beatings from my ex husband for her. I would not allow him to hit and kick her, so I took it for her. And I would do it all over again.

I still have 2 younger dogs, they keep me busy, but just arent Dusty. Trying to explain to Chloe where Dusty is and that she isnt coming back has been hard. So I just tell her that she is living in the sky with Lucky, Capone, and Kitty, that she isnt hurting anymore and is happy.

The other two dogs are both thrown off. Im not sure what to do for them to help pick their spirits back up. Both the girls have barely eaten, so I think some scrambled eggs, and maby some boiled chicken is in order for them. As I cant explain to them where Roo went.

Do any of you have pointers that I can use to help my remaining two girls get out of their slump?

I'm so sorry your family is going through this!!! Hang in there my friend!! I know with the struggles I've gone through with my kids lately, my heart breaks for you!!!

Hang in there Zgoat!

X2!!!

FlyRobinFly then THESE numbers should be a piece of cake for you

ask Kim bet she can tell ya what they are

Would these be the number of eggs you got this month? I thought I told you Ron, no more bragging! Geez, I was so happy to get 3 eggs yesterday for the first time since late last spring. I guess green(with envy) isn't a good color for me.

Maybe just quiet talking & petting them to reassure them all is well ? so sad !!!!!!!!!!!!!
