He came close

Originally posted 2020-06-16 12:44:24. My husband keeps the bandana that our dog, Charlie, wore around her neck on his work bag. He was leaving work last night and noticed her bandana not on his bag. He traced his steps, checked the truck, the locker room and every place he had been to try and find it. He said he even looked several times trying to find it. He got home and was in panic mode…

Originally posted 2020-05-28 17:21:57. Ok, so my BFF, Jess, and I were (what we call) running errands.

Food Lion, grocery store for those who aren’t familiar with them, 2 of them. Let’s not forget Sam’s Club. While in the second Walmart we went to customer service…

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…

I did a thing yesterday

Originally posted 2021-10-26 12:23:01. Ok, yesterday I enrolled my husband in an online college course. Why you ask? Because he would not have done it himself The class is $2595. 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.…
