Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 I'm so sorry about your horse. It's hard when you've had an animal for a long time and they are getting sick from being so old. With our disease, it does seem like our bodies are much older than we really are. My mind feels young, like yours. It's just my stupid body that isn't with the program! Take care and I hope I get to meet you someday.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 Jane Anne: Sorry you had such a rotten weekend. It is hard to put a beloved pet to sleep, or to have one die. I lost my Black labrador a few months ago, and it was tough! I woke up this morning with a serious hitch in my "get-a-long". I am normally stiff in the mornings, but this morning, it was horrendous. I went to a chiropractor this afternoon, and after a few cracks, grunts, and crunches, I am better, but the muscles are still sore. Getting old sure isn't for sissies, and neither is having PLS is it? Take care, and next weekend will be better. Laurel BAD WEEKEND Hi to all, I had a horrible weekend. I lost my cat for one and a half hours. She did come back, I was ill and had to put my horse to sleep. He was old like his master. I guess this is the final step in getting OLD. You know I told some friends the other day. My brain feels young it just the rest of me falling apart. I to have a new exercise machine and I will tell everyone if it works in a month or two. I am still happy with my new scooter. I can do so many things I could not before. LOVE TO ALL, JANE ANNE KING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 Jane Anne, My husband can be a bit gruff about things. His mom didn't like pets because they were "dirty" so he really didn't have any until we got together. We recently had to put down our 14 year old dog and it really upset him. To see him visibly upset is unusual. Anyway, a couple of months later I broached the subject of another dog and he responded with, "Damn pets, I don't want any more." I said, "Oh yeah, those damn pets, they make you love them and then they leave before you're ready." He started laughing and said I'd hit the nail on the head. I'm sorry about your horse. I put one down years ago and I know how sad it made me. >From: " King" >Reply-To: PLS-FRIENDS >To: "PLS - FRIENDS" >Subject: BAD WEEKEND >Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 16:28:37 -0500 > >Hi to all, > > I had a horrible weekend.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 When we lost Henry, our much loved poodle, Don said he didn't want another dog. Several months later I overheard the UPS man talking about his dog having puppies. They were labs and would be ready to find new homes right about the time of our wedding anniversary, so I decided to surprise Don with a puppy. His son, Jim, decided to tell his dad of my plans so I cancelled the puppy when Don said to me " I DO NOT want a dog! If you get a dog I will have nothing to do with it. " When our anniversary came, I came home from work and Don kept looking at me funny. Finally, he said (with tears in his eyes) " Where is the puppy? " I told him " you didn't want a puppy, you told me so in no uncertain terms. " So then Don said " When have you ever listened to me before? " I gave him the phone number for the puppy and he called immediately. We now have had Duke for 6 years and is the love of our lives. ===== Thomson, Solana Beach, CA www.als-pls.org www.geocities.com/mdmfoo/pls.html __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Jane Anne, I am so sorry you lost your horse this way. I understand completely the heartache of having to put a beloved pet to sleep. I hope you can take comfort in all of the wonderful memories you created together through the years. I'm glad your cat came back.........Mine has come " BACK IN " even with my asthma. just was too lonely in the house after our dog died. Ah, animals.....I guess that's why God put them here....for us to love. maggie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Jane Anne, I am sorry for your loss. I had to put my St. Bernard/Malamute to sleep a number of years ago, I think it was the toughest thing I ever had to do. He stuck with me through all of my trials, and made my life better. I have many fond memories. Now I have a one year old (tomorrow) and a 7 year old pair of golden retrievers who brighten up every day. I have read all of the kindness and support for you in this difficult time. I am thinking of you, too, and offer my condolences. Peace to you.
