Just one of those sayings I’ve heard forever – but wouldn’t have had a clue were I asked to explain. <br /><br />40 days post July 3, eh? So I can rationalize my “hysterics” and “frenzies”! … but don’t go letting my wine sour.

They are special, indeed.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-27584733434986940572015-04-07T20:41:06.118-04:002015-04-07T20:41:06.118-04:00I guess this is the first time in my life I don...I guess this is the first time in my life I don't have a pet. As much as I loved them at my age it is kind of nice not to have the responsibility. I even had a goat one time. At least I thought it was my pet. It was actually to give my allergic sister milk to drink.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-73024987145468757532015-04-07T18:54:02.211-04:002015-04-07T18:54:02.211-04:00Ever since Jilda and I married in 1974 we've h...Ever since Jilda and I married in 1974 we've had at least one dog.<br />There were spans of time when we had as many as 8.<br />They were all throw-always that no one else wanted, but they found love at our place.<br />The blog entry from a few nights ago blossomed into a column for this coming Sunday and I gave you a shout out for your memory-marker description of the things we left here on the farm. I love that.<br />RRick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-43301107348954730772015-04-07T18:30:21.338-04:002015-04-07T18:30:21.338-04:00Does Sherry have you sprayed for fleas?

Also, hope you're up to date with all your shots. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about Sir Logan ... it sure does leave a void in your life when a beloved pet passes :(~melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923627491671705881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-41904581728955976902015-04-07T16:26:56.348-04:002015-04-07T16:26:56.348-04:00I can just hear Sherry now saying what a good boy ...I can just hear Sherry now saying what a good boy you are ! Ha! Well you do have each other and that is wonderful. With all your travels it is probably a good thing you do like me and enjoy other peoples. I have grand dogs galore. If I every need to pet one, I know where to go. Nice thing is they all like me too. I get to do some babysitting for the dogs as well as the grandkids too. Rainy day here so I'm indoors doing Spring cleaning. Hope to get it all done so when the sun comes out I can go out too. I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-6454449397256768472015-04-07T09:38:12.555-04:002015-04-07T09:38:12.555-04:00LOL, Jack, that you are Sherry's pet :) At lea...LOL, Jack, that you are Sherry's pet :) At least you can clean up after yourself :)<br /><br />Pets are great companions, indeed, especially dogs, but only because I'm partial to them myself :) Also good for teaching responsibility to kids, but you are right, when they hit their teen years, its a whole different story.<br /><br />Only thing bad about getting pets after a certain age or having them after a certain age is if you pass before the pet does, makes it challening to find a home for them. Both my brother and hubby's brother had to help find homes for dogs after their mother in laws died. Thankfully, good homes were found without the dogs having to be taken to the animal shelter. I sometimes think it would be noble to take in older dogs in situations like this instead of getting a puppy if we get one (not that I have energy for a puppy anymore)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
