Morning all, grabbing my ph00 and heading for the yard to work. Lots to do out there.
Justin, I'm with you there. In fact, I have never put down one of our pets. Not a one of the big "me man" ones of us in the house could do it. My sweet gentle loving wife is the one that had to do it. We can go hunting, put away a deer, gator, hog, pheasant, duck, goose - - you name it, and enjoy the thrill of the hunt knowing it is going on our table for food. Take out our pet - - no way, Jose. Mama had to do it. We hear about it every so often when we get to bragging a bit about "I did this, or I did that." Yeh, well you bunch of wimps can't even have the cat put to sleep.
OK, off to work - - refill ...............
Bob

'Morning all...
Shorts, it's still so close to losing Greta, that I truly feel your pain. I'm still expecting to see her when I turn around... They become such a part of us. Diane and I will be sending prayers.

Awhile back I inherited a rescue cat that could barely walk. It wasn't a good time to have a pet either. Traveling too much.
I kept avoiding the inevitable but as time went by the cat became more mobile and wasn't a problem in a vehicle like most cats.
Chunk lived well past her 9 lives.
Lary met Chunk in Vegas.
Anyone I've known that disliked cats accepted Chunk.
I still get this dream of her staring me in the face less then an inch away. That's what she did when if was food time.
Her LEGGS were in worse shape then mine or Lary's.

She would leave Scotty's room then come over to mine to visit for awhile, then head back to see what Scotty and his lovely wife were doing next door.... I think she was checking to see who had free handouts...naturally I never gave her anything

What the heck was that!!!
That's exactly what happened to me and it was in the garage too!
(we were storing some of the dogs stuff like he was just gone to college or something).
Seems like we have a different kind of love when it comes to Dogs (and for some, other critters too).
Guess it comes from them trusting us without question and not making fun of us when they see us naked.
Finally getting ready for a trip South. Better late than never.
Happy Birthday again to Scott. Why don't you and Heidi just celebrate on the same day. It would save some electricity.

There is no G. There is no G. Repeat after me, THERE IS NO G!
Happy Birthday Scott! 
Bark, that's funny yall had the same conversation. I haven't put away Chester's stuff yet. DH suggested it a few times already but I'm not ready. Maybe after he's home I'll see how it feels.
Working on photos today. After I get them edited down I'll post some up. Yall won't believe how my big svelte Chester was once a rolie polie sausage
If you've got photos of a pet who's impacted your life, I'd love to see him or her. Tell me some stories.

I just wish we could offer more. I've never lost a kid, but I have a small idea what that may be like. I don't think there's anything anyone can say that eases the pain. Maybe there's some comfort in knowing other people understand. I certainly do. I tear up every time I think about this.
Thanks Claude!
That's not necessary. I use yours. But thanks for the birthday wishes!
Aw shucks, ya shouldn't have. REALLY, you shouldn't have! I'm gonna have nightmares about singing fingers now.
Thanks Bark! We would except I don't think the world is ready for that yet.
Thanks M!
I would but I can't get thru your posts without getting a wet face. I think it has to do with the unconditional, unquestioning love they give us. The innocence. The faithfulness. They give so much and ask for nothing. How can you beat that?
Afternoon all. I got about 10 cords all decked and ready for the processor this afternoon. Only thing stopping me is the fact that there's about 3 feet of mud everywhere. The 'ol JCB with it's 18" tires doesn't like that. I don't think a skidder would like it either unless it had a full set of ring chains. Dunno if a regular 4X4 tractor would do any better but I'm betting not unless it too had a full set of chains. I'd like to get something besides the JCB to log with but can't justify a skidder because all it will do is skid logs. I could get a 4X4 tractor, and that would allow for other uses like brush hogging, but would that be any better than the JCB? Ring chains cost more than a full set of tires now too. When I was logging full time I had a nice Cat skidder. That thing would go thru 5' of mud and come out laughing, but I bet Michael would take a dim view of my spending $300,000 to get firewood! Decisions, decisions.!

I considered giving you the finger for your birthday but being the polite, respectable individual I am...I opted for hands instead
