We have a sweetheart Doberman. Zoe is young and enrrgetic, but a sweet large dog. At this point I have to say my cat of many years is gone. We've always had a cat door because Georgia had no use for litter boxes. For the last year or so she pretty much just lounged on the patio most of the time. We haven't seen her now in 2-3 weeks so we have to accept that she took off to die on her own. I'm not sure exactly how old she was, but old. I tried to think she had gone off to explore a bit, but it has been years since she left the block. Pets! Still kinda in denial as I adjust to her decision.

Aims, Em is awesome!

sj, so sorry about people being insensitive.

Erin, you just made me LOL for realz.

May I recommend a holiday trip to Florida?

Laura, did I mention that ND and I will be in Florida visiting my dad from the morning of the 26th through the morning of the 31st? We should get together again! He has a pool now if you want to take a swim.

I'm sorry {{{Laura}}}. Didn't mean to bring up a sore subject. I was just wondering because TCG and I should probably get a hotel room if we visit. He is allergic to dogs.

A friend bought me two jack and gingers at the local, and then I went crazy with my stash of quarters and bought two (TWO) Twix. It's kind of funny when spending $1.50 without worrying makes you feel reckless. Woohoo, check me out with the crazy candy buying!!

Also, boy it felt good to get tipsy and do some mutual venting.

Oh, I missed your post about your cat. I'm very sorry, Laura.

---

{{{Laura}}} I'm sorry about your kitty. Losing a pet sucks.

Also {{{sj}}}. We had to use an RE to get pregnant and I was like you - find the issue if there is one and let's deal with it. And there were issues, they got fixed, and I got pregnant. "Just relax" wouldn't have worked with me. It is just an insensitive and shitty thing to say to someone. People need a cluesticking sometimes.

Yay! Actually, Brendon just mentioned your dad a few days ago wondering if he was here for season and might want to go boating or fishing. Please send me his contact info because we are having a boat parade viewing thing Sunday.

Oh dear sj, I didn't know he had a dog allergy. Zoe is of course short hair and outside a lot, but also super affectionate and in your face! Yeah, I hadn't mentioned Georgia's likely demise because I am not quite ready to admit it yet. If you two get down here we will figure something out.

Have to say g'night Bitches. I stayed up past my bedtime to catch George Takei on MSNBC. Now I can't keep the lids open anymore. Good thing the coffee pot is programmed.

Thanks guys. Georgia was a wonderful part of our lives for the last decade or so. (We'll try and forget the lovely vermin presents she would bring me) I know it is their way to take off and be alone to die if they can. The lack of closure is tough, but we pretty much know that is most likely what happened.

I am also tipsy! I am sorry I missed you at Pete's!

WTF? All my bookmarks have disappeared from my iPhone. Why does my technology hate me this week? ETA: And now they're back.
