I only say this because I have a Jewish office mate so we label all of the foods with pig in it... But shouldn't they know that? Do you have any Jewish children in your class?

A couple weeks back we used bacon in a potato soup and I made sure nobody had any dietary restrictions.
 
The weather is starting to roll in. I am going to get my orders out then start moving things to "higher ground" aka the 2nd story, in my office.

Last night on the way back from play practice the dogs ran out and gathered around the car. They have gotten in this terrible habit of doing it. I slowed down. A lot. I always do. But Flea has gotten so old, blind, arthritic, and deaf and it was dark and rainy... and... I ran over his back side. He was paralyzed and is now gone. :( I was there the day he was born. He was our baby before we had babies. He has been there for all 7 of our kids coming into our lives. I am going to miss him a lot. Honestly, he was in such pain every day, but still happy, but I was worried this winter we would have to make the decision to put him down. I was surprised he made it through last winter. But I will miss him. We did get to say goodbye and with the shock his muscles relaxed and he was no longer stiff as a board as he has been lately.

So yeah, I am a emotional wreck on top of getting read of the most likely flooding we will get again. The worry too is the ground has been saturated so long that when the storm winds come in we may lose a lot of trees. Just as I finally got the debris from the ice storm 2.5 year ago up.

Mim, I'm so sorry that you lost your little buddy. :( Big hugs to to and your family, today.
 
Does she have difficulty breathing? Is this to do with allergies? at seems drastic to me... I'm not a doctor, but it just seems like a lot...

It has to do with allergies, asthma and I think even the design of her little nose. I am going to call her other doctors, this morning and ask about this. She has quite a few specialists and none of them have ever mentioned this. But, they also aren't nose specialists. But I figure it won't hurt to call and ask. I'm also going to call and ask my insurance a few questions. I do think this ENT is a good doctor. Her pediatrician recommended him and he seems to be well known.
But I am going to make some calls, today.

I am sorry to hear about Mr. Flea. What a sad way for things to play out.

Dang, Mim. You have had a week. My heart aches for you. I am so sorry about Flea. It hurts to lose a family member.

My neighbor did the same thing to their old dog about two weeks ago. Sorry to hear that Mim

It is oddly a blessing in disguise though. I do know that. Doesn't make it not hard. But I was really worried about him this winter. He as in such pain the other day that he almost bit Levi when he tried to move him. The only place you could pet him was the tippy top of his head. And with the cold weather coming in, the worry was we would have had to make a decision. And I feel better that I was not speeding up the driveway. I slowed down for him and everything. He was just getting a little demented as well. I gave him a bite of my ice cream yesterday looking at him thinking, "you never know if this will be his last treat". And sure enough, it was. Sometimes if he was not on the front porch I was worried that he would get eaten by a wild animal and die a very painful and scary death as a result. This was pretty instant for him and he dies in our arms in shock. So, I don't think he felt any pain. So yeah, we did not have to make the decision at least. I just knew I would miss him when he was finally gone. He has been a loyal companion and a very special dog.

Oh Mim. Oh I'm so sorry. I saw the FB post but didn't know the rest of the story. I am so so so sorry.

I wish I could give you a hug right now.
