JohnJ Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Dang man, good luck with the little fella. & stay out of that cold wet we've had all week around here. Low 30s and rain all week and another week of it headed this way. Glad I've got the stepping stones to get to the trash cans, my boots just suck up the mud and I have to do the Oriental bit and leave them at the door. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Looked out my window this morning to see SNOW!!! Several inches fell overnight, and is continuing to fall. This is the first snow of the year. The last couple of days have been pretty cold by local standards, meaning below freezing, and the local TV news showed a backyard ice rink that a man had made for his sons. It was only about 20'x20', but his two kids, probably 8 and 10, could lace up their skates and pass a puck back and forth between them. It was an annual family effort, but most winters it was too warm to do, so this was a bit of fun for the boys. Small things make the news in this town. It's warming up in a few days, so our streets should soon be clear again. It's funny how the snow usually arrives here in February, just as RandyH000 mentioned near the start of the winter. That makes it a bit rough for the blossoms on the cherry trees, which just started to bloom about a week ago. Hopefully, they'll hang in there under the snow, and soon we'll have localized pink flurries along certain streets. I like that kind. You don't have to shovel it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Sorry for the news about Jake. On the positive side, you gave him all he could ask for in this life. He won the lottery when you stepped through the door and took him home. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I can't add anything to what the others have said, Chuck... ------------------------------------- I don't need a recipe for really good whiskey. Just a glass. Sorry, being smartaz. Sounds good. I wouldn't use my good whiskey in it, though 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Carl your post brought a tear or two......thanks for the kind words. It's always a question of who rescued who. Trish and I wouldn't have moved in together if not for Jake's adoption. Having a second Old Fashion with Proof syrup and bitters. Randy you were right the Prednisone perked Jake up and he ate soft food for the first time in two weeks. We were both thrilled that he ate with such an appetite. So here again is my boy. 11 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyOwn Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 My daughter has been wanting me to get a puppy. My excuse not to is, "I live in an apartment and there is not a protected back yard for the puppy" The truth is I can't handle the thought of losing my puppy again. It just sucks pond water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MookieStl Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Adopted Samantha (Sam) when she was 8, three years ago. My very first dog. Not only a great dog, but a huge help when hanging drywall (or doing anything for that matter)! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
