God bless you for caring sm
We have kept our dogs for up to 16-17, until it would have been inhumane to let them suffer, so I can feel your pain. I cried more over my dogs than I did for family as the first one was born right here in our home as well and we treat our animals as one of us. Unless one is an animal lover, others cannot understand why you could be so heartbroken. My husband took it hard as well and we were both so distraught it was worse than a human death. We had ignorant people say ignorant things such as, "it's only a dog," etc. Be comforted in knowing that those of us who love animals feel your pain. It will take a long time to get over. I could not walk past the pet food aisle without tears. The only answer to my pain was guess what? Another pet if possible. Bless you, we are here to talk. Those of us who love animals know what you've been through. You feel helpless, I'm sure, but you did your best.
Bless your heart
Bless your heart...Fox looks like such a sweetie. I think the memory garden would be a wonderful idea.  Cat
Aww, bless your heart! I still
love what I do, but have only been doing it for 3 years. I feel totally blessed that I actually got to quit work when my kids were 2 and 3, go to school online and actually get to work from home so I can be where they need me when they need me. I can see why what else you're doing right now, though, is so much better than MTing! Have you ever been to Women of Faith?
Bless your heart.

bless your heart...
I know just in general with how the economy is & how transcription seems to be going downhill with outsourcing that alone is enough to get anybody down. Hang in there girl. Pray and believe and God will guide you!
Bless your heart. You just don’t know.
It is ok. If you want to say single when you were separated, go right ahead. No use in arguing. You win.
Like I said above, bless your heart.
Have it your wrong way. Am not arguing. A truly single woman is 1 who has never married. If you were married you are not then a single mother. You fall into 1 of 3 categories. If you do not understand, have it your own way. I think women go by this term so others will feel sorry for them. My view on the term single woman.
Well bless your heart.

I think I could see them die by lethal injection if they killed someone I loved. I can't say for sure cause I haven't been in that situation, but I think the anger for what the person did would be so much that I would have no problem watching them die.
Then again I may would just want to not be present out of the fact I did not want to lay eyes on them or go through the stress.
Bless your heart, don’t know a 2006 BMW
when you see one. Sorry maybe your day will come one of these days. Good luck!
Bless my heart, I do know. I had the guts to
take the help that was needed to feed and clothe my kids. That was 20+ years ago and I would do it all again to see my children healthy and happy. 
Bless you, you have a kind heart! ....nm

Bless your heart for having Therapy Dogs!
I think that's a wonderful program and hat's off to you for taking the time to do it!
Bless your heart, they were talking about paying on principal
and that is when I talked about paying also. Don't hate. I have been in bad shape before. When I was there, I worked and worked and worked to make my ends meet and now, well what can I say? Again, not good to have hate in your heart.
Bless your heart I hope it works out for you too....No we are not in New England. We live in the So

Yes, God bless Fred, and God Bless you in your kindness and love...sm
We had to put two of our pets, to gorgeous cats that had been our babies for 16+ years, in much the same story, they had gotten to the point where they were suffering and would suffer more. Horrible, heartbreaking decision, hurts like heck, but I do believe there have to be darling pets in Heaven, I cannot imagine how it would be heaven without them, they are so precious and give us so much love and happiness! So sorry for your loss!
Time for a long, uninterrupted heart to heart. Sorry to hear

Thank you for caring for that poor dog. sm
She must have been neglected for a long time.
With her coughing up mucus, she probably has pneumonia and needs antibiotics. She also needs dental work.
You might want to feed her some ground beef and rice. You should boil the beef, not fry it (no seasonings)and add it to cooked rice that has no seasonings. This is what my vet prescribed when one of my dogs was sick. It should be easy for her to eat this. But please get her to a vet ASAP.
She probably has some kind of allergy that is causing her to chew herself. Or she might be doing that because her teeth hurt her.
Thanks for caring so much and for passing that along! NM
thank you all for the advice and caring.....sm
I knew I was doing the right thing posting here. All of the MTs I have spoken to on this site have been really kind.
I found out about the cheating when the other woman's husband called our house last night, and my husband told me first thing this morning so that I could hear it from him instead of the other guy. I have since talked to the other husband and the wife says that my husband wanted it to go further, but she stopped it. I think she is just trying to save her a@@. The other husband read some e-mails to me that they had passed back and forth together, and it sounds to me like there was more going on. I also called my cell phone company today to get the past few months details on his phone so I can see just how much they were talking. My husband said they didn't really talk that often (the CSR checked through the records and found multiple calls on multiple days. She was very nice, helpful, and encouraging).
We have 2 small children (4½ and 2½ girls) and I feel like I owe it to them to try and find a way to work through this. He has agreed to counseling, but I don't know at this point how I want this all to turn out. I'm still just too numb, shocked, angry, etc. to have thought it out that far.
Thanks again for all of your advice and opinions. There is a lot to be learned from other peoples experiences. Just pray for strength for me to get through the holidays without having a nervous breakdown or a murder charge.
Thank you for caring. It means a lot.

Thank you all for caring. I have an appointment on
Thursday to see a Christian psychologist at a local church. I have been thinking of attending this church for some time, and when I have my appointment it might be a foot in the door so to speak. Thank you again for your kind words. My post was just another way of reaching out. When I get terribly depressed I tend to internalize everything and avoid people. I really need to sit down with someone and just unload. I think this is a step in the right direction.
Anyone here caring for aging parents?
Whoof. This is so very hard. My mother is/was a brilliant educator, highly respected in her field.
We are walking a very thin line these days. I just hate it, and I do not use that word often.
We have found an assisted living facility that she likes, and I do as well. But, she is not liking the fact that she must decide. Oh, it is so very hard.
She was quite ill back in the summer, went to a nursing home for therapy (to recover from pneumonia), and then home. She is failing, and not going "gentle into that good night." She wants so very much to live on her own, but it is such a struggle. I am afraid for her, and I am so very tired.
Is anyone else living with this? If so, what do you do? I have read a thousand articles, talked with so many specialists, and still am lost.
I can't thank you all enough for your support, information, and caring..sm
You have really uplifted me a bit, and we will continue to search for answers and pray to do the right thing. She is so loved!! And God Bless each and every one of you, and your loved ones, for your kind notes and posts, SO APPRECIATED!!!
but short on compassion and caring.

Thanks for being a caring person. Please don't change.-nm

You sound like a very caring and kind person
I'm definitely not going to flame you, but I'm wondering if you actually put stuff *inside* the mailbox because that is against the law. I would appreciate the thought, but I really wouldn't like someone going in my mailbox besides my mail carrier.
My neighbors across the street have the most beautiful lights. I just moved here from the sticks and it was SO cool to be able to look outside my window every night and look at their array. I don't see them because our schedules are different, so I thought about mailing them a thank you card. But it really would not be appropriate to just pop it in the box.
Anyhow, please don't take offense, but maybe some of the looks you are getting is the mailbox thing. I'm not assuming or anything, just wanted to give you a heads up.
I sincerely hope you feel better :-)
The woman has children who are supposed to be caring for her
Interfering could lead to some seriously unpleasant unintended consequences.
I had that problem with a neighbor, only they weren't caring
constantly barking. I would put water out for the dog and sometimes feed the dog because it was being neglected. Finally, when no one was looking I had the dog come with me and I took it over to my moms house and found the dog a really loving home. My bad? I don't care, I knew the dog was being well taken care of. The lady I gave him too just doted on him and he was no longer neglected.
Even though a dog is being fed and given water doesn't mean it isn't being neglected. Animal neglect is a form of abuse. If you call anyone, don't call Animal Control. Call the Humane Society or some other entity who can take the animal so it won't end up being put to sleep. It's not the dogs fault that the owner neglects him.
confidence of not caring what other people who don't matter think

Thanks to all for caring. I will use Resolve and update on this board SM
to let you know. It happened so quickly, and I guess that is what happens when you snack in the living room. I am used to sometimes putting my glass or bowl on the floor when I am finished eating. This time I paid a high price. I think it may at least take some of the stain out, and thank God it was one of my smaller pans. As Cat said, a throw rug is an option as well.
Have a great Thanksgiving! I am working, but will have the afternoon with my family.
Well it sounds good but a true caring
and giving person that gives from the heart and not merely to impress would also probably not have thrown a post like that in the middle of ones where people are obviously having great financial difficulties. LOL. Sometimes ya just gotta laugh.
Bless you all that are having money problems and I hope things get better for you soon. And, remember, this too shall pass.
You are a caring, loving person. That has been obvious SM
from your posts for a long time to me. You are doing the right thing and staying on top of this. With your close eye and caring and with professionals on board I think your son has a bright future. Keep us informed.
God bless you... sm
I will be praying for you. I deal with sadness at this time every year because of relatives who died very close to Christmas. You can't help but think of them. Know that God will help you through it, with time. I pray God's blessings and healing power over you and your family. We all have to hang in there together and lift each other up during the tough times. You will get through it, as one of the other posters said. Keep focused on precious memories of loved ones and your pets as well. That seems to help me the most, and knowing I'll see them again one day.
God bless them.

Bless you and her. Sometimes it is best to
It was a hard decision for me but I wanted my Lexi to not suffer.
Please consider taking her to the vet for a humane end to her suffering.
Bless you
for considering this. Shelters are overflowing! In order to make room for more animals, some will have to be put down. Fostering gives these animals a little more time to be considered for adoption. Years ago I adopted a wonderful 9-year-old Akita mix. She had been in the shelter for her allotted time, a few months, and would have been put down because she was so old & had health problems. A wonderful volunteer took her home & fostered her for 9 months before I finally saw Echo on the shelter's weekly TV spot, & it was love at first sight. I adopted her right away. She did have a lot of health problems but was with me for 18 months & had the golden retirement she deserved. All because of someone who was willing to foster her.
God bless you..
So hard to say goodbye, even knowing it's not forever.
Take care of yourself.
God Bless You....sm
You are an angel! I am an animal lover and especially dogs.
bless you.

God bless you!
You are a saint in my eyes. I love animals. I can't bear to see them with no home and no one to care for them.
God bless you, SM. sm
If only the world had more people like you, it would be a far better place.
In my book, people who abandon pets are on the same page as those who abandon babies, and deserve the same legal penalty. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. They get a slap on the wrist, nothing more, if that.
Thanks, God bless you, You never know who you may touch...nm

Just say a little prayer for her - she needs help! May God Bless her. nm

Bless you and your kitty
We lost our 18-yo girl two years ago to renal failure. She didn't meow a lot, but seemed to really enjoy being held more than she ever did when she was younger. Just spend quality time with her; you'll never regret it.
bless the moderator...
thank you
God bless you and your daughter -
It sounds like she really managed to communicate what she needed, even if she didn't know how!
Thank you for yet another perspective!
God bless Bella!
There are no words to express how sorry I am about the loss of your sweet Bella. May she rest in peace.
Awe, thanks for the update. Bless you for

Of course bless the innocents...
No one in their right mind would place any blame or responsibility on the victims.
I was just thinking about what would drive someone to behave so violently. He obviously was troubled. His family will be vilified while they are grieving.
I often look at things from an odd angle.
