Catching Up
It's been a while since I've posted, hasn't it. I have a lot of personal things going on right now, so there hasn't been much time spent here at the computer.
I've been watching the news and was shocked to hear that 45 people were killed in those horrible storms in Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and Alabama. Twenty-four of them died in Tennessee alone. So completely weird that such deadly tornadoes are happening in February! Kinda' makes me think it's an ominous sign of things to come weather-wise this Spring and Summer. Tornadoes are by far the most terrifying weather phenomenon because they hit so fast. They're extremely scary at any time, but having one hit in the middle of the night is a nightmare. My heart goes out to all the families affected by these storms.
It's been very cold here and we've had a lot of snow this winter. It's been sort of neat. I've actually enjoyed it this winter. It's hard for me to believe that it's already February, though. Wow, time is going MUCH too fast!
My daughter's dog passed away a week ago today. We have no idea what happened. She was outside for a while and when my daughter went to let her back in she could barely stand up and walk. We thought she was just cold, so we took her into Callie's room and put her in the bed and under the electric blanket so she could warm up, but that didn't help. She just laid there and kind of looked around, but didn't move. My daughter noticed that she was very, very pale. I checked and couldn't believe how pale her gums were. By the time we realized something really serious was going on, she had a seizure and died. As I said, we have no idea what happened. My gut is telling me she had a stroke. She had seizures from time-to-time as Cocker Spaniels are prone to having, but she always came out of them very well and was fine afterward. *sigh* I don't know. It was just very sad and completely devastating. Sage was Callie's "baby" and they loved each other very much. Sage was completely devoted to her. The whole thing is just heartbreaking.
Well, I won't bore you any longer. ;) I hope you all have a really wonderful day.

I'm so sorry about your Cocker. We had a similar experience with our little weiner dog mix a few years ago. It's a helpless feeling when they go suddenly like that.
You have been missed and I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dog, that is very sad. It's moments like those that we wish our animals could talk to us and let us know what is going on. It sounds like you did everything you could do for her and it was simply her time. She passed away being loved.
I'm so sorry to hear about Sage, that is so sad. :( *HUGS* Glad to see you've posted, though.

That is so sad about your daughter's dog. I would feel horrible if one of our dogs died. It is rough to go through that. Hugs for all of you. I hope things get easier so you can post more.
I'm so sorry to hear about Sage, Leigh. Hugs to both you and Callie. And yes, it IS good to have you back!
just dropping in to say you're all in my thoughts. (((hugs)))
Take care xoxoxox
That story breaks my heart. I am so sorry for your family's loss. *hugs*
