The family couldn’t keep them so they looked for someone else who could take them. They tried many rescues but no one could take them in the time frame they had left. The dog, Bear, is 13 years old and…

It is for Chemical Plant Operator Course. This is pretty much what he did in the Marine Corps. He has applied to 3 different positions since he has been out of the Marine Corps and well he needed the certification. Unfortunately the Marine Corps doesn’t…

She’s home

Originally posted 2019-03-01 21:02:41. James wanted to put her in something more personal so we opted for the temporary urn. They had all of the paperwork her urn and a clay paw print in a gift bag. My husband rode home with it in his passenger seat. I think he was talking to her because he was behind my me at a stop light and I could see him in my rear view ❤. Idratherbewithmydog.net…

Repetitious

Originally posted 2021-09-18 09:00:22. The past month has been a bunch of repeats. Over and over I go. It’s been my husband, myself, my son, my best friend and the dogs. Each of us has had at least one appointment. To tell you the truth it has been more than just one. From my laser hair removal to massage therapy. To pain management to ear, nose, and throat specialist. Then our normal primary doctor’s appointments.…

Early Morning Emergency

Originally posted 2021-08-06 15:28:02. Early yesterday morning I woke to my husband wailing in pain. He said it hurt in his upper abdomen. Every few minutes the sounds of gagging almost throwing up became constant. My husband isn’t the “I’m in pain” type. He is normally the “I’m good” type. He asked me if we had any pepto-bismol, which we did. We got it out got a spoon and he took some. We waited. He…
