I've been through this. In 2002 I lost my Border Collie, Boots, to kidney failure. She was 17 years old. I know how difficult it is, letting go of your best friend. The vet let me hold her until it was over. Spend as much time as you need with Finlay. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Yet another reason why a dog needs a sweater! :giggle: Owl attacks Crystal Lake dog - DailyHerald.com

I recently turned 48, and I'm fine with that. I don't want to do anything over. Not even knowing what I know now. Onward and upward! I have friends in their 50s who say if they knew how much fun the 50s were going to be they'd have just skipped their 40s and went straight on to be 50!

Thank you. I think he likes it with us! :)

My sister's Pit Bull does the same thing on the bed! :giggle: He's very spoiled too! We actually do get to sleep on the bed, but hubby doesn't like the dog on his side. So Nakai sleeps on my side of the bed, behind my knees.

I didn't choose the Basenji mix. A friend found him and took him in, but the dogs she already had in her home wouldn't accept him into the pack. I was looking for a dog, took him home to try him out with my cats and he worked just fine, so he became part of my pack. It's probably a good thing...

I named Butterscotch because of his color. His "full" name is Butterscotch Ripple Garcia. Popcorn came with that name and wouldn't let me change it. Nakai also came with that name, after R. Carlos Nakai the Native American Flute player, but both my husband and I have some degree of Native...

For the most part this is true. Dogs are genetically set up to build a nice winter coat as the temperatures drop. But one of the breeds in my dog's background is the Basenji, which comes from Africa, where it is very warm and dry. Because of this, my dog avoids water, and does not develop a...

Here's my fur family. 1.) My first cat, Butterscotch, a 9 year old Maine Coon. When I take him to the vet he makes the Tasmanain Devil look like an amateur! Otherwise, he's a cat. He weighs 15 lbs. I've had him since he fit in the palm of my hand. 2.) My second and oldest cat, Popcorn...

Very sorry to hear this. Keeping your family in my thoughts.

The Fido Fleece sweaters are great! That's what Nakai has (see post above). They do cover most everything. I like that they cover the hips better than some other sweaters, especially in larger dogs who are prone to hip dysplasia. Nakai has learned to raise each paw as we put the sweater on...

Don't know where my husband and I are supposed to sleep!!! :laugh2:

:aw: Sweet! Yeah, rosacea is a pain.

:laugh2:

OMG!!! Okay, I'm hearing, but I'm dyscalculic too!!! Is there a Thread for it? I didn't think anyone else knew what it was!!! I was only diagnosed this past fall (2010), and I'm 48 years old! Sure explains a lot! Yeah, I came here because I thought LD meant Learning Disability too! :Oops...

Here's a pic of Nakai in his sweater. He's actually a Basenji-terrier mix, but if you know what a Basenji looks like, you can't miss it! :giggle:

Here's a pic of me and one of my two cats. She likes to stretch out one leg while laying down. My rosacea is acting up!:Oops:

Yeah, Basenji's don't have an undercoat, and his coat is very short. I believe the type is called a "hard" coat. Each individual hair is very straight and shiny. No, we don't do any coursing. He could probably make good use of it though! He has a lot of energy! And he's a bit on the pudgy...

Living in the Chicago area, it gets cold here, and my dog's breed (Basenji) is from Africa, so he has a sweater for anything below 20 degrees.

Unitarian Universalist churches are pretty open. They use the word "welcoming," but I think they mean "affirming" (as defined in this thread) as they have many GLBT ministers and other church affiliated employees, as well as members. Some even perform "ceremonies of union" for gay and lesbian...
