20428. judithathome - 10/24/2006 6:18:12 PM Thanks for the kind words, folks.
20429. PelleNilsson - 10/24/2006 8:28:38 PM Sorry about Klaus, Judith. He was almost a Motie in his own right. 20430. wonkers2 - 10/24/2006 9:27:35 PM Good to see you're around, Pelle. We've missed you! 20431. Magoseph - 10/26/2006 3:52:40 PM I'm thinking of you and Keoni, Judith. 20432. judithathome - 10/27/2006 1:09:10 AM Well, the deed is done and the vet told me Klaus had a pronounced heart murmur and was ready to go...it was very peaceful and sweet.
Last night, Keoni slept on the den floor where Klaus was sleeping...Keoni brought in his pillow and a quilt and they both slept through the night there.
Even though all Klaus did was sleep lately, it feels very lonely here without him. 20433. OhioSTOPAS - 10/27/2006 1:17:36 AM That is sad, Judith. I'm sorry for you and Keoni. But it sounds like no dog ever had better "parents"! 20434. poipual - 10/27/2006 1:28:45 AM If I could spell it, judith, I would commiserate with you. Evie and I can't have a dog 'cause you move all over the place and you know about bringing pets to hawaii. 20435. Jenerator - 10/27/2006 1:40:39 AM Judith,
That is very touching and very sad. 20436. judithathome - 10/27/2006 3:45:36 AM Yes, Al....I know about bringing pets to Hawaii. My sister is already jumping through hoops to bring her dog and cat back there in a few months. They both have medical problems and the requirements are rigid and costly, to say the least.
Thanks, Jen. 20437. arkymalarky - 10/27/2006 3:47:42 AM You know Bob and I love you and Keoni, Judith. Our hearts are with you both. 20438. judithathome - 10/27/2006 4:16:43 AM Thanks, Arky....
My son just called. He has had so many pets that have passed on over the years.
I once gave him this antique "smudge pot" that people used to put out on roads as a warning to drive with caution when it was dangerous on the road ahead...he told me that every time he's lost a pet, he's burned that smudge pot through the night as a signal to light the path for the pet...for the road ahead. He said he's burning it tonight for Klaus.
I not only had the perfect dog but I think I raised the perfect kid, too. 20439. arkymalarky - 10/27/2006 4:25:51 AM It certainly sounds like it. What a wonderful gesture. 20440. wonkers2 - 10/27/2006 12:59:07 PM Mago, you did it again--sent us bad weather. A cold, hard rain is falling this morning. Lucky they double-bagged my New York Times! 20441. Jenerator - 10/27/2006 1:04:43 PM Could you please send the rain here! 20442. wonkers2 - 10/27/2006 1:40:07 PM Mago is in charge of the rain. 20443. wonkers2 - 10/27/2006 1:40:40 PM And I don't think you'd like the 38 degree temperatures that go with it. 20444. alistairconnor - 10/27/2006 3:35:48 PM Averaging 70 degree days here for the last couple of weeks. I'm saving on firewood. Farmers are still cutting hay. Unbelievable. 20445. wabbit - 10/27/2006 6:30:56 PM Jah, I'm very sorry to hear about Klaus. 20446. thoughtful - 10/27/2006 7:01:18 PM So sorry about your loss, JAH....my deepest sympathies. 20447. Wombat - 10/28/2006 4:31:51 AM JAH:
I am sitting with tears in my eyes about your dog. We had to put our dog (an extemely arthritic Brittany Spaniel) to sleep several years ago; it was one of the worst days in my life.
