We understand the loss. Hopefully playing "over the rainbow bridge" with our 6 Year old scottie "Clyde" who also developed lung cancer. Frustrating to have them sit and look at you with the "I don't understand what's wrong" look.

Mr. & Mrs. MC

I know what you mean. [:(!] [V] [:(]

Sasha was so loving and didn't in any way deserve what happened to her. She became so weak she wouldn't eat, she fell down the concrete steps trying to go potty outside, then was even too weak to go outside. All she did for her last few days (Tuesday AM to Thursday AM) was lay on the floor, she was even too weak to get up on the couch. That Thursday AM we went to a specialist who could "look" inside her lungs. My regular vet said there were about 4 choices 3 of which they could deal with. The specialist found out it was the 4th choice and nothing could be done. It was unreal how quickly she went downhill. That last 3 or 4 days was just hell. I never had any trouble from her. She was just tooooo good, she really was. I cannot praise her enough. I miss her so. [:(]

On the way to the specialist she laid her head on my shoulder. The look in her eyes was nothing but love. I think she knew how bad she was. It was all sooo sad, so very, very sad. There will NEVER be another Sasha. [:(] [V] [:(!]

Tree, don't ever accuse my daughter of playing a violin...violists are pretty sensitive about such things![:(!] It only looks like a (big) violin. I doubt that she could play your request...who composed it?[;)][}:)]

OK... Misread violist as violinist, and figured if she was learning from a principal violinist it would be the violin, and it's only a short trip from there to fiddle...[swg]

The famous American masterpiece "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" was written by the noted composers Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.

Locomutt - I have a practice chanter (it's the part of the bagpipe you actually play) and can work through a couple of tunes with it, but I really do need the lessons, so if/when I get a full set of bagpipes the caterwauling won't be any worse than anybody elses...[;)]

One part of the local French Festival parade that I really enjoy is the 5 or 6 pipe bands that usually participate. The "massed band" that usually occurs after the parade can turn into a nasty mess, though. 34-40 bagpipes... Think about it.

Another part of the French Festival I enjoy is the pastries....

Tree - I love Foggy Mountain Breakdown" - would have to play the Beethovan version, tho. Can play a little by ear - better now than when I was younger. But could bang out some Mozart for you and make it sound like bluegrass! [8)]

[cherokee woman]

Okay, so let's get the bluegrass music started! What's taking you guys so long?!

Larry, is the yankee pot roast about ready?

Mookie, can you sing, and if so, how about Randy Travis' "Forever and Ever,
Amen"? That's locomutt's & my song. And have a good, safe weekend.

<In best waiter's voice> Dinner Is Served! [dinner]

<Sounding more like Mom>No pushing! There's plenty for all! No fencing with the knives! I'll get more gravy! Yes, there are more rolls! Whadya mean you want your potatoes mashed? Mash 'em yourself! CW is making the cobbler - you can have some when you clean your plate! EAT YOUR VEGETABLES!

<Waiter's voice again> Geez - like a bunch of kids! [:o)]

Perhaps La Mook would do better with some poetry:

School's Out

The house is quiet
Only the ticking of the clock
The random barks of a watchful spaniel
(She 'protects' most of the neighborhood)
And my own labors
Mar the stillness.

Suddenly, with a roar and a hiss
The bus arrives, and as quickly departs
Leaving behind two gleeful children
Who race, shouting, to the house.

Exploding through the door
They pummel me with notes
And papers
And all the news of their day
In a mere five minutes
And are gone.
Off to play.

[JoeKoh]

ok matt likes onion rings too and with fair season around now we can get them realllly big!
stay safe

the bench wasn't there.[:D]

FYI I sarted college life off as a Music major,don't ask what happened.(French Horn)

[JoeKoh]

Joe

[cherokee woman]

Joe,

Do you big metal spoons or big wooden spoons for Matt? Have both on hand.

Now, let's see about some breakfast for everyone:

We'll have all the regular breakfast item: bacon, eggs, sausage, gravy, biscuits, oatmeal, coffee, juice, pops for those who don't drink coffee or tea, and MILK for
Matt. Also have cold cereal.

[jeaton]

OK- For those of you who are musicians or just appreciate music or both. (i'm category 2).

My step daughter, Melissa Lander, sits second chair clarinet for the US Army Field Band concert band component. They tour throughout the US, performing concerts with the Soldiers Chorus. As you might expect, their concerts have patriotic marches and medlies, but also include a variety of classical and pop works arranged for concert band. Considered by their peers to be one of the best concert bands in the country, their performances are always free. If they stop in your town, check it out.

[cherokee woman]

Jeaton,

I KNOW you are one very PROUD papa. Wouldn't mind hearing her and them myself. [:I]Sorry, Jeaton: I failed to notice the "step" in your sentence. But imagine
you feel as if she's your daughter, so you probably ARE a proud papa, right?[:)][:p]

[jeaton]

CW. You betcha. Fact is it's a merged family-3 hers, 2 mine, add two spouses (one from Louisville!!) makes 7, all really great kids.

[dinner] [dinner] [dinner] Forget the dinner,I'll take one each of the desserts, though![:p][:p][:p]

[cherokee woman]

I know what you mean, espeefoamer: there are times when I will eat dessert for
breakfast, dinner, or supper!! Sometimes, the desserts sound much better than
the main meal!

Whadayamean, sometimes? Dessert is almost always better than the main course. I've been known to eat my dessert while preparing the rest of my meal..... One advantage of cooking only for oneself....[:D]

[Mookie]

mmm, more coffee.......[alien]
