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.

That is sad, Judith. I'm sorry for you and Keoni. But it sounds like no dog ever had better "parents"!

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.

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.

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.
