Good Bye Sweetie.

Well, I lost a dog this weekend. I didn’t lose him-he had to be put to sleep. That sucks SO bad. It was awful for me to see He was 14 and except for the occasional running off when he was younger, he was a wonderful dog. He couldn’t walk anymore, he couldn’t get up to go potty. I had to carry him outside and hold him. The vet said the dogs have 3 vital things that keep them going, they eat, drink and play. If you take anyone of those away-their quality of life is gone. Champ had not played in a long time…

My sister says my blog is disgusting and vulgar. She doesn’t get out much…I am kidding-she yells at me every time I swear when we are on the phone-but it was okay when SHE was doing it…sorry N…oops, I was ALSO instructed NOT to use her name. Blah, blah, blah.

Since I lived in the south for 21 years I can say that all of this is true!
Thanks for the joke Dad…

Since Rusty was from South Georgia-I heard a lot of this language in my time and they used to call me Yankee with their voices full of hate...well not Rusty. He knew better. They were super nice when they were drunk on the 3 dollar a case beer though.
