The older Jack gets, the more I value my time with him. And the more I worry.

He's 12 now and pretty darned healthy. We've gone on two walks a day almost every day in the 2 years since we rescued him. And he keeps up pretty darned well, summer and winter.

But he's also had health issues. He had surgery on his leg when we first got...

Jack died today, at 3:50 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 8, 2009. Born Jan. 16, 1996, he was 13.

I'm still sorta numb. It came on so suddenly. He was feeling as frisky as ever when we hopped in the car and drove to the Sunday dog meetup. He even slipped down off his doggie seat in the back, scrambled across the floor and squeezed his way around the side of the front seat to sit right next to me. He was an escape artist until the day he died.

The attack happened the second I stopped...

This is a personal story that a couple weeks ago I would have never dreamed of sharing with anyone. But the outpouring of condolences over Jack's passing makes me think you guys might appreciate it, and more, benefit from the lesson I learned from Jack today.

A couple months ago, I started seeing a licensed clinical therapist because of stress at work. That's the personal part. I'm not nuts or anything, lol, but I was feeling pretty miserable. Two years ago, I was placed in a supervisory...

[Wylie Entry]

Well, Mom came home sick today - she wasn't feeling to well. We do prefer her be at home, however, we had plans to pee on a new area that we spent weeks choosing - this spot fulfilled ALL the necessary criteria:

*not visible to naked eye
*carpet underneath, therefore, optimal smell dispersion and retention
*not in direct traffic path of humans, causing immediate cleanup and failed efforts

Despite the interruption of today's...

And the Moral to the story is?

In a classroom of third graders, the teacher says to the kids, "Today, class, we will be telling stories that have a moral to them."

She explained what a moral to a story was and asked for volunteers.

Little Suzie raises her hand.

Suzie: "I live on a farm and we have a chicken that laid 12 eggs, we were excited to have 12 more chickens but only 6 of them hatched."

Teacher: "That's a good story, now what is the...
