Just when you think things are gettin' better they go in the pot again! Daughter's pug dog was sick and out of energy when she got home yesterday and she took him into vet today and they ran blood tests ($300!) and said further tests were needed but the prognosis was not good! They (the vet) mad the mistake of saying perhaps 20 mg. of prednisone would help in getting his blood counts back in line so I found a friend today who had 24 prednisone pills in the 20 mg. form so daughter came over and we went and got 'em and hopefully "Frank" will snap out of it! We are praying for this great young (7 year old) ball of fire! Makes me feel bad because he is really one of my grandchildren! We're prayin' for a miracle!

Mornin Y'all!
Guy, I hope the pup gets better, I know how I'd feel if Chewy got sick.
Finally got my dip stick put in. The firewall mount goes in just fine. Now let's see if Jegs will take back the trans mount that they sold me in the first place. That's an extra hundred bucks I could spend on something important. like a new bottle of JW Black.
Went to take off the mufflers and put on header extensions, trying to shed a little weight, and some dumb shyt, me, ordered 3" that won't fit on 3 1/2" collectors. Now that just ain't right.

Now there you go Floyd,thinking with your dip-stick again, ....... Floyd,I just could'nt pass up,the moment............ .......................

Good morning Gang,Guy hope the dog gets better soon,and Floyd,I seem to order something wrong all the time,so I think it's called,well what was we talking about................ .........................................

We sure have some prutty skies here this mortning,with about 10" of snow laying on the ground,so it is a prutty picture,BUT i WISH IT WAS GONE, ...............I'm tried of winter,and tried of ranking snow,I know folks in other places have more than we do every year,but I don't want no more,I rode the tractor last night till about 11pm,cleaning driveways,I have a cab,with heat,but it still stinks,oh well don't feel no better,but I did get it off my chest, ............................

Well ya'll have a gooden and prayers all around,and hopefully,we'll get back to normal in a few days.................................

I hope Nikki and Mark enjoy the company of my daughter's pug dog Frank as he passed on early this morning despite our prayers and the medication! Came on all of sudden! Was fine and acting normal on Thursday and Friday was like a wet dishrag! Don't know what George (the other pug) will do without his best buddy? It's a shame we become to attached to our pets but suppose it's the "nature of the beast" (the "beast" being us!)to show our love and compassion for them! At least he wasn't in pain for a long period of time and will make a great and playful pet for Nikki and Mark! God bless you all!

Morning everyone.
Here's a couple of pictures of the snow we have around here.






Guy, i'm sorry to hear about your dog. Pets become as much of a member of the family as anybody else.
Y'all have a good one.

Guy, really sorry about the pug.
They are family.

Our daughter got sick last night, so she and i get to stay home today.

Mornin' all! Monday again... my hands hurt, got nicks and cuts from grinding and cutting and sanding and cleaning metal all weekend. And I could use a nap. But the sun is out, even if it's still abit chilly. And the moon over the weekend was really cool.

Sorry to hear about the pug, Guy. Maybe with Ashley just getting a puppy, it was time for Nikki to have another puppy too. And Nikki has a new angel up with her after this weekend, as another couple lost their daughter.

Mouse, I know it's a pain, but it does look pretty with the snow. I hope your daughter feels better.

Hey Mike!

Afternoon, just catching up!
Guy, sorry to hear about the "little guy"! I know Mark and Nikki are taking real good care of him. Mark's dog Laser went to heaven a year ago and we had him cremated, so Laser is with his best bud now too!

Sending prayers to The Miller family as Heather received her wings the other night. I know Nikki was greeting her at the gates and Mark will take care of her too!!

Mike, sure hope you feel a whole lot better!! I think you need to go to Hawaii for some Sun therapy!! Get well buddy!!

Michelle hope your feeling better and Miss Madi too!! And, Mouse hope your Angel is feeling better soon!!

Floyd, still having dip-stick problems? You should have hit Jimmy with it!! LOL

I am still taking one day at a time. I have to keep moving! I know Mark is with me just by some of the little things that have been going on! I am leaving for Florida this weekend for a little vacation. I need to re-group and come back even stronger!! Thanks for your support!

Chuck, hahahaha!! I really don't like body work!! Done did that too!! Hope to see you before I leave!!

Take care everyone, all are in my prayers!!

Here's the deal Ma,if you are driving to Fla.this weekend,and are taking I-77 south call me,I'm right off the Interstate,and I'll come to a exit and by you some grub,at the truck-stop,man would that be cool,call 336-429-0302...............This would be great ifn it would work out,my luck you're flying down,but thats good luck for you,so just start (I love this little guy)over the house and I'll back,I'm the place with the 2 turned over school buses at the drive-way,we love ya,and are praying for ya........... ..........................................

Christine,
You have yourself a great time and I hope it's warm for you.

Aww, Mike, I am flying down! But I will tell the pilot to do a fly over your home when I see it okay!!!
I will try and check in with my great friends! Thinking about you all!! Maybe we will work on having our first DRR Good Morning Family reunion!! I'm up for that!! Love ya all!!

Aww,but I do understand,we're all going to get together,one of these days,have fun and be safe,you deserve sometime to rest,love ya too...........Mannie says hey .........he was asking why I put the crying face,and I told him and he said,he wanted to go to,well me too.................

Ma, can't believe you would pick Florida over Arizona, unless it's a personal thing! We got much more sunshine than they do and "its a dry heat"! And so is the cold but cold to us is like summer to you folks! We get tons of snowbirds out here! You can always spot them because they all got the same education: "Shortest distance between two points is a straight line"! You get on some of the streets out in the east valley and you'll see what I mean! Example: Making a right turn outa the far left lane! Daughter and her family having a hard time dealing with the loss of thier pug but nothing heals like time! Next Sunday is oldest grandson's birthday party so hopefully some relief will come with that party
at a pizza parlor! The family needs some happiness badly and I am doing what I can to create such! Mike, if you got any "gut" questions I know a lot about Chron's and similar ailments! Most folks with Chron's have to go take a dump 15-20 times a day and if I was lucky, I would go once a day! "Guy the Gut Guy"! Sounds kinda "catchy" don't ya think? You all take care!

Mornin all....Tipsy Tuesday and time to get with it.

BB have a good day

G' morning DRR
