Welcome to Dana's blog!

getting thru the day....

I'm really scared this 'funeral' will just be a screaming match. I've been thinking the past 2 days about where to put Mikey adn I have no idea. With my luck, Dh will want to put him int he garden or horse pasture. OTOH, I can't really think of a decent spot. I wondered about the flowerbed, but I don't know how feasible that is. I'll tell Dh to dig the whole by himself and then I'll drag the kids out and tell them to stay inline or I'll let them have it. DH hated this cat w/every ounce of his being so I know he won't have anythign nice to say and the boys dont' care. Who does that leave? ME! I don't really know that i want ot say much cuz none of them care--KWIM? I don't want it to be a diasaster, but I am usually the one that handles these types of things while DH stands around (helping w/the boys). Shoes on the other foot so I guess we'll see what he's learned? I will get a marker for him this summer. I'll probalby have a hard time find somethign that's not cheesy tho. I may make him one. Hobby Lobby sells those decorative stone kits and they are nice. Not cheap, but nice.

I found the reciept for the stuff and I'll be getting about $30 back.

And I got my meds today. While that's a good thing, I knew our ins changed. It went from $60 to $100!!!!! I nearly had da fit! I thought it only went up to $70! I need to drag the papers back out and try to read it again. I'd be better off transcribing Greek........

So Dama left and I may try to watch Dr. PHil.  Mikey adn I usually hung out on my bed so I may as well get this over with......

Funeral!

Why not just have a moment of silence, instead of anyone having to say anything!

I really feel for you. I lost my cat a few years ago. We were together for 16 years. The end was very difficult. It was hard watching him go downhill when there was no way that I could help him. I remember taking him in my arms several times and how tiny he had become. I remember having to help him jump up in my lap. More than that, though, I remember those times as times of transmitting my love for him to him and of him doing the same. My husband did not hate Boo-Boo. And even though your husband may have not liked Mikey he loves you and I believe that he can respect your grief. Perhaps if you found a simple prayer for pets or animals on the net or a short poem about the companionship of pets...Julie

May be this?

Prayer for the Protection of Animals



O God, source of life and power, Who feedeth the birds of the heavens, increase our tenderness towards all the creatures of Thy hand. Help us to refrain from petty acts of cruelty, or thoughtless deeds of harm to any living animal. May we care for them at all times, especially during hard weather, and protect them from injury so that they learn to trust us as friends. Let our sympathy grow with knowledge, so that the whole creation may rejoice in Thy presence.

Julie,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your pet! Thanks so much for the prayer! That would probably be perfect!
