Willow ,'Never Leave Me'
[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.
bonny, do dogs have a problem with garlic and onions the way cats do (Heinz bodies anemia)?
Andi, onions should be avoided at all costs. Raw onions do cause anemia in a big way.
There are mixed theories about garlic. Some folks use garlic as a supplement to protect against fleas and as an immune booster. Others believe that garlic is dangerous.
My personal bias is to avoid it unless I'm giving the little guy some stew or some such, in which, the garlic/onions are seriously cooked.
the one contribution I was allowed to make-a line in the obit that read something like "though Bobby had no children of his own he loved and cared for his nieces and nephews who loved and cared for him in return"-was left out.
Oh DJ. I'm so sorry. Death makes families do odd things.
The family is just usually not this way. It's like suddenly there's no one left except for another uncle's wife and she just unilaterally decides things now.

It seems there is always someone who pushes to the front and begins calling the shots, regardless of their relationship (and sometimes, lack thereof) to the deceased. Because everyone else is in grief, the bossy one usually gets what they want.
It's sad, and can cause irreparable damage. My prescription is generally patience and a focus on YOUR relationship with the deceased, regardless of how publicly it gets acknowledged.
Honestly, I'm in the middle of something similar and really, truly feel for you.
I think that's where the cousins and I are at. It just sucks to feel completely cut off from my family that has been such a huge part of my life.

Aw, I'm fine really, but thanks for the hugs. Hugs are always welcome.

Me too. Thanks Andi, you are such a sweetie.

Well, I'm glad your situations are not getting you too down. But why wait until they are, to give out hugs. That is a tough, sad situation to be in. And you both deserve to know that you are cared for.
DJ, I am hugging you from afar.
