Great but also EXHAUSTING ages....lol

The youngest Eric really keeps me on my toes. He is so stinkin smart and has his mommy and daddy wrapped around his fingers.

Dylan is fairly quiet and extremely shy. He enjoys computer and playstation games. He is kind of a loner and loves it that way although there are days he can't get enough of spending time with Bryen playing football.

Chase is my comedian. He has so many questions and I have so few answers most days....lol He loves reading his bible and can memorize bible verses like no ones business. He will tell you God called him into the ministry and he is going to be a preacher when he grows up.

Bryen is his daddy made over. They have the same tempermant. (his daddy is a redhead...need I say more!) Bryen is very sensitive to God and recieved the holy ghost in november. He loves baseball and collecting baseball cards.

Its an honor to be their momma.

Been busy the last couple of days. My husband and I went fishing one day, -caught 35 bream- and I went shopping with my daughter in law one day. Life as a retiree is so taxing!!!!!!!! I have been checking in and this place has been kinda quite.

Too quiet.

And what are bream???

They are a small fish that you catch down here with a cricket. Other names are perch, sun perch, and bluegill.

I cried myself to sleep last night-- knowing that today one of our beloved family pets might be spending her last day with us.

We let her live as long as we possibly could, and I didn't have the heart to let her suffer anymore.

She came to us two summers ago, another castaway dropped by an uncaring person. She was the most beautiful black lab I'd ever seen. When she was dropped here-- we took her to the vet to be checked out. At that time, she was diagnosed with such a severe case of heartworms that the vet said the treatment (which cost about $600) would have taken her life because he didn't think her heart was strong enough to survive it.

He advised us to take her back home and keep her in a confined kennel to restrict her from being able to run-- which would dislodge the heartworms and send them straight to her lungs.

She wasn't suffering at that time-- and he put her on heartworm prevention to prolong her life. He said it wouldn't stop what was already started-- but would possibly slow down the inevitable. He also gave us a list of signs to look for-- that would mean she was beginning to suffer.

She became like a member of the family. She was very protective of the kids-- and was one of the most gentle animals we've ever been blessed to have. We took really good care of her, and loved her-- and she gave so much to our family. We will never again have another pet that would ever replace her.

Those signs from the list given to us by the vet started early last week. I cried, and cried and cried some more-- knowing that it was going to break the hearts of our children to lose this dog.

She was taken back to the vet this afternoon. The vet did some tests and said she was at the point where they were breaking loose and would move into her lungs-- and from there, the death would be slow over a period of a month or so-if that long- and painful.

My husband called me with the information from the vets office, and let me have the final say. I chose to not let her suffer-- and even though I know I've made the right decision, I feel absolutely horrible.

I've cried all afternoon and I'll probably cry myself to sleep again tonight.

*Rest in peace, Lady*

Sis. Tina,

May the Prince of Peace give you peace and comfort over the

heartbreaking decision you had to make today! God cares about

the things that concern His children. Give it to JESUS!! He will turn

your sorrow into joy! Weeping may endure for a night, but joy's

coming in the morning!! You made the right decision. Rest in the

fact that you were merciful on behalf of your beloved family pet!!

Your touching story brought tears to my eyes!

Blessings,
