I'm glad he died peacefully, here and on his own terms.  Just earlier, I'd been laying next to him, rubbing his face and neck.  I gave him a few kisses, too.
 
Anyway, RIP to my Mal.  I loved him a lot.
 
 
 
I know I'm late chiming in here, but I've had this on my mind since I read it.
You may see shadows out of the corner of your eyes now and then...especially when you are just sitting around. They are probably Mal as he may be gone...but he's not and you need to know that.
I still see the beloved dachies now and then. They show up as a momentary mist, sort of a wisp or a black shadow you experience for a split second. He loves you and he stops by to let you know it and that he's alright, but he really still wants to claw your eyes out for naming him after a murderous female...
 
 
I know his bro Mickey's been looking for him.  Not relentlessly, but often I see him staring at Mal's spot (some blankets and a pillow that I set up for him in a corner next to the couch in his later weeks), as if to see if he's reappeared. 
 
I showed him his bro's dead, frozen body before I took it in for cremation.  He licked his face, but I don't think he understood that that was the last time he'd ever see his womb-mate.

The best ‘It’s So Cold…’ jokes for WISCONSIN...

  • It’s so cold, hitchhikers were showing pictures of their thumbs.
  • It’s so cold, people riding the subway weren’t offended by other riders brushing up against them.
  • It’s so cold, the cows outside threatened to strike unless they got bras to cover their udders.
  • It’s so cold, NJ politicians have their hands in their own pockets.
  • It’s so cold, someone spilled hot coffee on me and I thanked them.
  • It’s so cold, a group of chickens walked into a KFC asking to warm up.
  • It’s so cold, even the Good Humor man is in a bad mood.
  • It’s so cold that I can’t even get into a heated argument with my wife.
  • It’s so cold pickpockets are calling in sick.
  • It’s so cold Richard Simmons is actually wearing pants.

    It's so cold aka ron's computer is frozen and won't boot up. His internet connection is frozen too and so are his fingers, so he couldn't type anything on it anyway.



    That must be why he's not around right now.

    It is brutal out there...I had to go buy a little more firewood. I should really buy a whole truck load, feel like I'm wasting money.  Only a trace of snow.  I need a SSS.

    It's Saturday, and I don't feel like going out in the cold.  I was outside in the cold and wind too much of yesterday (at work).  On the other hand, I don't really feel like staying inside and doing nothing.  I already watched last week's episode of Walking Dead, and now there's nothing much to do but eat and nap.  But if I eat, I put on pounds.  If I nap too much, my back starts hurting. 
     
    Oh, what do I do?  I'm so torn up.  LOL

    I survived the first trip for a full load of firewood...Mama had to scan something and everything on my desk is out of place.  I worry about putting 2000 lbs of wood on my 11 year old tires.

    I plan this out so I know the wood is dry, no precip. in the past few days.  We are expecting rain later today but the truck is nice and cozy in the garage.

    Where you live, maybe.
     
    Worked 2 and a half hours today.  Fed Ex and UPS now deliver on Saturdays until Christmas, and it behooves me to get all this product processed and into accounting now before it gets lost in the backroom hell over the weekend.  If freight gets lost, we still get invoiced for it, and then have to account for it.
     
    Now I'll have to deduct this time from my next week's schedule so I don't go into overtime.  Otherwise, I'll get "coached".  Such appreciation!  LOL

    COFFEE!!
    I was in so much pain yesterday, I figure it's just because I was active all of last week.

    My work outside on Friday really did me in. It seems to heal somewhat overnight, I feel pretty good right now. I need to get to the grocery store before it (my left hip) starts giving me trouble again.

    I wish I could see what Darth posted ^ up there.

    I've been a good 42 year old boy today. Mama added a bunch of stuff to my grocery list, she needed her everyday things like Mocha Latte and her Swiss Miss 'Dark Chocolate'. I needed coffee too so I knew this would be expensive. After reviewing the list I guessed it would be about 80 bucks, I was pretty damned close.

    I found a beef roast for about $10.00 that looked like some nice lean meat. A bag of potatoes, some carrots and that is all cooking in the crock pot.

    I changed the oil in my truck...it's been almost 5000 miles. I have a pad of paper that I keep track of oil changes with. I moved one of the end tables so she (Mama) can set up the Christmas tree. I had to run into the big city today. My right rear...scratch that! All of my tires have slow leaks but this tire was down to 15 PSI. Confused  I needed some cash and the bank machine I hit was out of order....NO! YOU ARE OUT OF ORDER!

    Looking forward to beef roast with mashed potatoes and gravy.
