Randy this makes me so sad. I have a "baby" named Prissy that is also sick but not at Daisy's point yet. My heart aches. Hug Daisy for me and give her a wet kiss from Prissy. Nina

Rich, So glad to hear that you are home again. Hope the fluid stays away and that the O2 helps til you can pitch it. Missed you. Nina

Congratulations Ernie. I think its great that you are airborne again and that you plan to use your talent for the Angel flights. Nina

My little shihtzu is in early stage renal failure. The vet says she is not in pain. We tried to put her on a "kidney" friendly diet but she seemed allergic to every brand we found. She now eats anything she wants or I should say anything I will cook for her. She is 13 years old and has been with me through many of life's troubles..including my surgery and chemo etc. She sleeps with us and is always happy to see us, even though she will not give us "sugar" when we first get home. Its like she is showing us her displeasure at our leaving her for a few hours. I love her with all of my heart and am greatful for every day I have with her. That tail wagging and her little wet nose against my face is one of the special times for me each day. The vet told us around Thanksgiving that her time was very limited and that it was not too early to think about putting her to sleep. I took her to our Episcopalian Priest and asked him to bless her and she has been better since. I know she is not cured but she is happy and still with us. I believe that prayer helps us accept our lot in life and make the most of each day we have. That is my prayer for all of us here. Greet each day the way my little dog does. Happy to be here and glad to see her loved ones. No grudges, no dislikes, no fear. Just glad to be alive. This is way longer than I meant to write. I am sorry about Crystal and dread the day when either Prissy or I have to make the decision to end her life. I hope it is Prissy that decides for me, but if not, that I have the courage not to let her suffer any longer that she must when the time comes. I seem to go on and on....sorry... Much love to all of you, Nina

Very special news Joanie. I understand the different but good thing all too well. I am so happy for you...Happy 5th. Nina

Got all of them. Nina

I went to the site and took the test. It is a fun test but as soon as I clicked it open for my husband to take the test a very ominous message popped up. It shut down my computer. Just be careful ok? Nina

Good luck Andrea. I bet things will turn out fine. Don't blame you one bit for the better safe than sorry idea though. Let us know the results. Nina

Shoes for me too.

Good one. Nina

I laughed just thinking about that hold..lol Nina

Marco Jo I am so sorry. I know it was hard on you and the family to see her in such pain. Nina

Happy Birthday Ry......sorry about the headache and John's cold. Glad to know you felt like a little shopping. Wishing you many more. Nina

Congratulations on 4 years. I am sorry about the side effects but wow! what results. Nina

Just want to ditto the good messages. Thank you. Nina

Never need to worry about anything Andrea does. She does it all well. YOu'll be a great mama and your a great advocate for us. Thanks Nina

Cute, cute, cute. Glad to see your picture too Ann. You look great. Nina

Cute! Love the last sentence. Nina

Me too Ann. I am and will continue to be amazed that you take the time each day to think of a joke or question for all of us. You are one special person. Nina

My list goes way too long. I still VCR my shows and watch them after the phone is likely to ring. Studio 60 House Law and Order..all of them ER Shark Desparate Housewives Brothers and Sisters Rome (its finally back on HBO) My Very Favorite.....FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Nina

Grace, I am so sorry. I will keep you in my prayers. This is such a terrible thing to have to go through. Nina

Actually, I missed only one. I had to guess at the pony's name but got it right. Just call me a mud pie. Nina

Connie, I am also glad you posted. Your wonderful husband loved you and his family so much that each post had a little of what he felt for you in it. We felt honored to share some of your FRANK and his sense of humor. I miss him terribly. I hope you will continue to come here and share with us and let us keep you company when you feel the need to talk. You and your family are in my prayers. There are so many feelings I have that I would like to express but am at a loss for words. Frank was one heck of a guy. Nina

Kasey, congratulations on helping others over 3000 times. Gee, maybe we "talk" too much? Just kidding...need your support and love getting it. Nina
