Really sorry to hear that Mo Reb [:(]

From the way you describe it, if there is any consolation, it sounds like he didn't suffer.

I'm sorry for your loss M_R. [:(]

Losing a beloved pet in that way is heartbreaking. I'm sorry M.R.

I feel your pain [:(]

A moment of joy turned into tragedy in a second...

Just remember that the Pope said that dogs, do indeed, go to Heaven. He'll be waiting for you one day on the Rainbow Bridge [:)]

My Christmas present was the demise of my backup generator. Blew out the top seals and oil is everywhere

Now I'm back to not being able to pump water. No more games for me for the next 5 years

And with no sun yesterday the batteries died at midnight (with a -8 degree windchill). Today I found all the plumbing from the wellhead to the house frozen and burst after the heat tapes and heat lamps went out.

Problems tend to cascade out here... one thing after another fail.

I'm not going to fix the pipes, will just do without water like I did for most of last year. With no backup generator and lots of cloudy cold weather predicted, it would just happen again.

My neighbor, Diane, called to tell me that she is without power or water at her ranch.

Winter is tough when you are out here alone.

Thank you all so much. I'm fine. I can handle it. But my sweet wife? Not so much.

This time I cant make it better nor fix it.

In 1995, found my 7-year-old Dalmation choked to death on a ball a few minutes before we got to him. Even the vet couldn't pry it from his throat. Honestly, it took years for the nightmares to stop, and we never got another pet.

You'll do a lot better, Mo. And sorry for the disasters in AZ.

I am sorry for your loss, mo reb.

OH Wow! So sorry for your loss my Friend I lost my dog about 1 year ago, my lovely Pom Nickie, I still miss him every day. Would love to get another one but my wife says the pain of loosing him is so strong that falling in love with another Dog or Pom and loosing him/her again is too much for her right now. Maybe in a little while we will get another one.

At my age I look more forward to having the time off from work (we get time off without taking holidays between Xmas and New Years part of our Union Contract, so Bonus time) and having the family come by all together to celebrate. Heck we even get to keep my 7 year old granddaughter a full week, aah that will be so awesome!

I got Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Wii U:

(had to dust it off as I haven't touch it since I finished Zelda Windwalker a while back), and BOY!!! What a frigging Game! Best RPG/JRPG I have played in ages, the continents are huge and gameplay and battles are superb, I highly recommend it to any RPG enthusiast! So between my time with my granddaughter and this game I will truly enjoy my Winter Holidays.
