So Anyway...

So anyway, saw a Fleetwood Mac tribute band tonight. They were excellent. The singer did an upstanding job in the Stevie Nicks role, she even looked a lot like her. The bass player had the Lindsey Buckingham look going for him too. Lead guitar play was playing a Jeff Beck Strat and was great. Fun night at the lake with a dozen friends (and wine).

So anyway, we went and saw this SRV tribute band yesterday at the Village. What a fantastic group, the guitar player/singer was dead on in his singing and playing. Fun day under the sun by the lake.

He was using a Line6 box for his patches with 1/4” lines to the FX return on his 2 15w amps and 2 XLRs to the front of the house. Had really good tone with that rig.

NO DUMBLES ?!?!?! this guy sux he is a pure HACK --- move on poser! --- geesh
 
So anyway, my cat left us yesterday. He has been on daily IV fluids for the past year for renal failure. Recently, a heart condition was added to the situation. It was time. Tears in my eyes as I write, I do not have the strength to post a pic. Ugh.
I feel for you. Our first siamese seal point Roo was on twice daily insulin shots for over 11 years. It was a very sad day when we made the decision. The other two monkeys helped us through it. I would recommend getting a new one asap. It really helps with the recovery. We will get a third again as soon as we notice one of the boys getting on. It will be another seal point male. I just got to the north compound and will be missing them terribly by tonight.

Thanks. I admire you for getting another companion right away. Right now I feel more like I will never again. Too painful.

And worse, I cannot escape it by not getting pets. I have not suffered many close losses in my day. I am not looking forward to the back end of this movie we call life and I can't seem to get it to rewind. It is not even a very good movie, but there is nothing else on.

I suppose I have had a little more practice at this point. Grandparents had a farm with livestock. I was an excellent chicken executioner. Also lost my mom when I was 29. She was 2 years younger than I am now. She dropped into a coma in a parking lot. She had breast cancer and didn't tell any of us. Blood clot broke free and went to her brain. Dad divorced her a few years before, so my brother and I had to make the decision to pull the plug with grandma right there. That will wake you up quick. I'm kind of a cold bastard now. I don't get emotional at funerals anymore.

I am sorry for your difficult journey. However, you are not fooling anyone - you have the stink of warmth and kindness all over you.

I know how you feel Ray we lost Ginger about 2 months ago now.
And she had been with us since 2002.
Our condolences
Mitch and family

I lost my mom in 2009. We had to OK pulling the plug on her too. It was not a hard decision to make as she had already given us a DNR and once when she woke up to find a tube down her throat, she made it clear that she did not want this.

Sorry to hear that, RVA. Our condolences... It never gets any easier, but there's all the good memories... it helps a little bit.
 
Very sorry for your loss Ray ... its never ever easy to lose fur family -- in many ways harder than human family .......
when the time is right the cosmos will provide you with a creature in need of your attention -- until then enjoy the memories of good times, the protected comfortable home you provided and the added years and happiness you gave this one. :)
