{{{DCJ}}} so much love and strength to your mom + whole family, and a peaceful passing with love all around him for Ray.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm trying to not be so annoyed at my mom about her guilt-tripping me. They've had no power since the storm on Saturday night, and she's going kind of stir-crazy.

Codeine usually dulls my pain and puts me to sleep. Every once in a while, for some reason, it does nothing for the pain and leaves me wide awake and really anxious. This is one of those nights.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I've read... and sent ~ma and good thoughts and love to all and sundry who need them. Worried about Daniel's mom.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Daniel, all possible good thoughts to your mom.
Beth, Matt, Shir, those others of you dealing with end of pet life decisions, my sympathies, and belief you'll make the right decision at the right time.
Stephanie, congratulations on the great day.
Kristin, you're absolutely correct, you don't owe them anything. Time to be good to yourself and your family.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Job~ma, Kristin, and health~ma, Hil.
{{{beth and Matt and Andy}}} I know how hard that is. Unless I knew that something that's gonna make it easier for my dog is on its way, I wouldn't let it last more than 48-72 hours. I keep battling myself, thinking if I'm too sissy to watch him struggle. I'm glad this isn't just my decision, but I'm more towards the "let's end it while he's still eating, in mild pain and not in spasm". My point is to minimize pain for all involved. Not that I believe for a second that I'm discussing this or thinking about this, of course.
And Daniel and WindSparrow.... so much ~ma. {{}}

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
For me, it's about letting them go peacefully before the pains of life outweigh the joys. And, really, I'd hope for the same for me. The hard part is figuring out those lines. I am not looking forward to the tough decisions.
