We have a kitty that is wasting away and it&#39;s hard to watch. I know it&#39;s time but it doesn&#39;t make it any easier.<br /><br />In more cheerful news, it looks like we will be at the same event on Thursday.

(I hope he is all better now...and tolerating the new, adorable, ball of energy that must be Jaxon!)<br /><br />I have a kid and still my dogs and cat are my fur babies. They are part of the family. (there are days I&#39;d take the cat over the humans ;) <br /><br />Anyway, *HUGS*, and *more hugs*. And here is to a fabulous rest of your July/summer...YEAR...DECADE! :)<br /><br />Love the handsome Jaxon. <br /><br />Huggles,<br />LolaLola Sharphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14394765053485642935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751900799790393671.post-92119751389579932902011-07-19T14:23:59.893-05:002011-07-19T14:23:59.893-05:00I love the new look of your blog!

What breed is your new puppy? Kind of looks like a boxer..that&#39;s the type of dog I&#39;ve had since I was a little girl.

You know how much I share your dog love. When Buster had to be put down a few years ago, it was the worst few days ever. Knowing what needed to be done but not wanting to do it. You always reserve that one glimmer of hope (or at least I do) that they still have a chance to get better. At some point though, you realize it&#39;s not going to happen and the only right, compasionate, and merciful thing to do is the thing you never want to have to. <br /><br />I hope you take solace in some of the same thoughts I did. Mack isn&#39;t in pain anymore and while he was young, he had the BEST life he possibly could have had. That he ended up with you guys was a total blessing. <br /><br />Hope Lil&#39; B gets to feeling better (you know I have a soft spot for Pugs too!) Give Spanky a hug for me and I&#39;m going to have to come meet Jaxon. He looks ADORABLE!Lalenahttp://thelenar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751900799790393671.post-23666598703319598832011-07-19T02:31:29.338-05:002011-07-19T02:31:29.338-05:00Aw, hon...I&#39;m so sorry. You poor thing. What a tough few months you&#39;ve been having. I&#39;m so very sorry for your loss. What a heartbreaking story. HUGE hugs, dear...<br /><br />Sending you love and hugs and strong wishes for things to feel better soon.Carolina Valdez Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11589934533051907801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751900799790393671.post-57682914466701957822011-07-18T21:37:12.089-05:002011-07-18T21:37:12.089-05:00I&#39;m so sorry for your loss. It&#39;s never easy losing a pet. They are part of the family. It&#39;s good to hear what&#39;s going on with you (even though I&#39;m not glad that what&#39;s going on is not so great). But we used to be in touch more and busy lives got in the way. Anyway I want you to know I&#39;m sending a smile your way. I know you&#39;ll get through all this and have wonderful things ahead... like your new puppy.Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11217271340928929622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751900799790393671.post-68091024499869294712011-07-18T16:13:58.152-05:002011-07-18T16:13:58.152-05:00Hi Kimberly, nice to meet you today and thanks for commenting over at Talli&#39;s blog.<br /><br />I completely understand the loss of a dog. I still remember (and get sad) everytime I think about my collie, Lady. And she&#39;s been gone decades.Liz Ficherahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06675119867422145198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751900799790393671.post-73361237637986694012011-07-18T15:22:16.381-05:002011-07-18T15:22:16.381-05:00Christine - Yes, we must breathe. I have to remind myself of this at least twenty times a day. :)<br /><br />Stina - Thank you so much!<br /><br />Demetra - Oh my, girl. That must have been awful! And the house gutted too? I&#39;m not sure how in the world you handled all of that! I would have probably pulled out all of my hair. And yes, puppies. We ended up getting one very fast. I didn&#39;t want to at first, and then... it was just too quiet in our house. So we got one. Most of the time I&#39;m thinking... OMG what did I do? But then, when that sweet little puppy curls up in my arms (which he won&#39;t be able to do for long! In a few months he&#39;ll be a giant!) I just fall in love all over. I&#39;m a sucker for a sweet puppy.<br /><br />Jennifer - Thank you so much! You don&#39;t know what it means. Pets... they are family. I think it&#39;s something only one with pets understands. :)Kimberly Franklinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13957037411750752950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751900799790393671.post-42343573364473692642011-07-18T13:37:36.485-05:002011-07-18T13:37:36.485-05:00Oh, honey! I&#39;m sorry. I know you didn&#39;t write this to get sympathy but I&#39;m giving it to you anyway. {{hugs}}<br />Pets are family, so I understand what you&#39;re going through.<br /><br />Yes, Jaxon is adorable. :)Jennifer Shirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16970585847385511795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751900799790393671.post-83737563070215809442011-07-18T12:12:20.299-05:002011-07-18T12:12:20.299-05:00Kimberly, <br />I know exactly how you feel. My Viszla died of an undiagnosed stomach tumor. It was sudden and devastating. During that time our house was partially gutted, because stupid us unwittingly bought a house full of mold. YUP! No joke. I&#39;ve been in renovations for 4 years. I&#39;m just getting floors now, and it took me 2 years after Luke died to get a puppy. Now, like you, I&#39;m in crazy puppy world and trying to write. I&#39;m with you, sister. Hang in there and know that you are being thought of with affection. : )DEMETRA BRODSKYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01533759475780064553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751900799790393671.post-22545477992249834452011-07-18T07:29:55.064-05:002011-07-18T07:29:55.064-05:00Hugs for all you&#39;ve gone through in the past few months. I was devastated when I suddenly lost my cat. It took me awhile to recover from that. <br /><br />But new puppy is definitely adorable. :DStina Lindenblatthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751900799790393671.post-15795981704719997892011-07-18T06:22:02.939-05:002011-07-18T06:22:02.939-05:00I&#39;m so sorry for your loss. It&#39;s never easy. So sorry for all the bad luck. Things have a funny way of turning around though. <br />This is something I try to do--step back and enjoy. Life can be crazy and you can miss so much. It takes a lot to stop and breathe in life. <br />Thanks for the reminder and I&#39;m thinking of ya.<br />BTW--new puppy is soooo cute.Christine Danekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00979611961825725350noreply@blogger.com
