Oh Alana, I'm sorry to learn that Remington is so sick.
I will be sending good thoughts and prayers that the vet is able to some how help him and that you will find strength during this difficult time. If the diagnosis of 'liver shunt' is correct, that is not a good prognosis.
Out pets give us unconditional love and companionship; the prospect of losing them is so very painful.

Well, I have been able to become publicly Apathetic Agnostic recently and witness many in my own family really bash this administration; so far none have disappeared into the night. Too bad the govt. has so little control over the anti-USA attitude TAUGHT in our public schools and universities.
And the UN has our Supreme Court brainwashed as can be seen by recent decisions........ -

"God gave us everything"......
Well, my observations of life tells me this is not so. Life in general is made up of "chance and circumstance" along with the choices one makes of those chances and circumstances.

Awwww....poor brainwashed little girl. It's so sad that a religion can take away even the most innocent pleasures of every-day life.
Joe, thanks for keeping us updated on this little saga of the realities of how the WTBTS really subtly impacts the lives of all it touches. So sad. So much good and joy in this life (which is all we can really be sure of) wasted for empty promisises of the religious immagination.
You are a good man Joe Grundy, to care so much....

Euthanasia for humans, is it right or wrong?
by FreedomFrog inok guys, i'm working on a 1500 word paper for my communications class and it's due in about 7 weeks.
i'm collecting information for my paper.
how do you feel about legalizing assisted suicides for people?

Euthanasia and assisted suicide are really two different subjects to me.To me personally, euthanasia is someone else making the decision to end my life regardless of my state of mind or permission or lack thereof, and then taking specific actions to accomplish my speedy demise.
Assisted suicide is my deciding to end my life and needing another's help to accomplish what I choose to do when and how I choose to do it.
And here is a true story of a combination of the two. My Mom had a massive brain bleed while in a restaurant; her heart stoped and she stoped breathing. Unfortuantly (I know Mom would say) there were two policemen having lunch and they performed CPR and called the ambulance. When I arrived at the hospital the helicopter was already sitting on the pad waiting to take her to a much larger metro facility. The ER Doc had her records and directives and was waiting for me to arrive to either concur or disregard her specific written directive. She had made it plain in writing what she wanted (Do Not Resussitate, no amputations-she was diabetic, no organ transplants, no tube feeding, etc.) Mom was moved to a room and an IV inserted with a very slow drip, just to keep the needle open.
Later that afternoon she 'upchucked' and aspirated some of the iced tea she had had earlier and they could not get it all out of her lungs. The rattling with every breath was pathetic and very unnerving. One of the nurses told me that a couple of them were going to have DNR tatooed on their collar bones when they thought it appropriate so that the police/good samaritans would have direction.
The next day I saw that the nurse would come in every two hours to give her a small injection in the IV and I asked what it was. Told it was 2cc. morphine to ease her breathing and I made the comment, "Too bad we can't save up several doses of that and give it at one time; Mom would like that." Twenty minutes later the nurse was back, said she had told the Doc what I had said and that she was here to give Mom more morphine. The 10cc. syringe looked to have about 8cc. in it. Mom stopped breathing 15 minutes later and slipped quietly away. She would have been 80 years old in another week. Her greatest fear was the possibility of being helpless and in pain in a nursing home .
Her massive stroke occured in one of her favorite eateries, she was dressed very fashionably, had her good jewlery on, was socializing with a friend, and her car was parked right out side.....just the way she wanted to go.....except for not wearing or having a DNR bracelet or medical card in her wallet.
Here's to ya Mom, Thanks for the memories and life, and Godspeed.

I am currently in the process of shopping for a Class B motorhome, the purpose of which is to attend various Apostafests held throughout the U.S, to meet many of you delightful folk.
Besides, every Apostafest needs an official "wet balnket".
And.... "if you had the chance"..., I would like to meet the "OZ" 'branch', especially Unclebruce; and the U.K. 'branch' (Little Toe in his kilt - hey, I might be old but I'm not dead yet).
