Smartie's Bar & Grill #71

How's the refrigerator?

 

Dented, but operational. Thx for your concern.

 

Next time have breakfast at a Norms. Cheaper, better - with nicer people - usually.

 

Always a terrible day. Eventually a new puppy or new dog can ease the grief, but you never really get over the loss of a good dog - or any other loyal friend.

"He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
throughout the south
He spoke through tears of 15 years how his dog and him
traveled about
The dog up and died, he up and died
And after 20 years he still grieves"

 

Again ... Nice to see all the Likes { yeah right ... ho hum }.
I would like to see T-Shirts like Doris Day wore.{ How many times ? }
Be Kind to Animals or I'll Kill You

 

Speaking of dogs... a border wall for Daise.

 

Sold 4 goats on Monday. By Sunday 4 goats were born...2 boys and 2 girls. Have to thin again soon. Gonna keep Fernando....seems to be a good buck. Kora's baby is pretty ......black and grey. Too bad its a boy.

 

Dante, ahead of Martin Luther, drew the same conclusion.

 

Dante Drew WHAT Conclusion and when.
You sound like a Texan after work going into a Roadhouse
explaining how hard his current job site is.
You know ... like all them armadillo getting in the way as he
pours a foundation.
Same doggone thingy.

 

You win a lot of debates with that?

 

In that case I really fooled you.

Dante was very hostile to the corrupt Catholic system of indulgences. He believed that individuals did not need the church to gain entry into heaven.
His Comedy placed Popes and the princes of the church in the depths of Hell. He was a real rebel, but he was also by consensus the greatest poet in Italy at the time so they could not get away with cracking down on him or suppressing his great work.

It probably helped that he dies quickly after finishing the Comedy.

 

It’s a done deal, she is back home now and probably off chasing and barking at crows somewhere. She hated crows. The vet was very professional and made sure the procedure was carried out with the utmost of dignity. It’s a tough thing to go through, but she isn’t in any more pain now. Thank you for your post.

 

Dante { basically self-taught } was condemned to Exile from his
beloved Florence.I was in exile that his - Comedy - was composed.
Pope Boniface insisted that Dante remain in Rome as a delegate to the
Catholic hierarchy.
" But since Fraud is the vice of which man alone is
capable,God loathes it most.Therefore the fraudulent
are placed below,and their torment is more painful. "
-- Dante { or Durante } Alighieri { 1265-1321 }

 

I truly cannot bear to hear about Pets and suffering or their final days.
More so than Humans.I don't know why this is.
Probably due to Unconditional Love.
Humans are still learning about that feature.
No amount of Cows coming home is of any relief.

 

Lost my Einstein early this morning. Trying to keep a stiff upper lip at work, not working so well.

 

You got it.

 

Crying helps.

 

Sounds like this joint can use some cheering up today. Belly up, y'all. Nearly lunchtime.

 

It does. Except when you are trying to type on a keyboard.

 

The dog we just put down was right around 17, we got her as a pup. That sounds like along time at first glance but when you put it in perspective with your own life it becomes amazing. For instance, when we got her, my little girl was in elementary school , now she is a mother of two.

 

Very few dog breeds make it to 15 let alone 17 years of age.
Can I ask what kind of dog food you bought/used.
The biggest factor in the age of a dog is what they are fed.
