I lost my dog this morning :( He was a good age but his back legs were away, he couldn't walk in the end and he was suffering so the kindest thing was to put him to sleep. He will be missed dearly :(

Here's a pic of him in his better younger days.

So sorry to hear of your loss. What a nice looking dog. I'm sure you will miss him. We have 7 dogs, last year we had to put one to sleep (total was 8 then) and we still miss him. :(

My 7 dogs, that's a lot! You become so attached to them, they are just one of the family really.

I hope you are coping ok Friday. My neighbour lost her dad last month and she wasn't going to put any christmas decorations up this year but that's not what he would have wanted. I know it will be difficult for you and your family this christmas but it will get easier.

Take care

It was originally 9 dogs, several years ago. All in the house in the winter ! But it is fun when you come home from work and there are 7 idiots barking and jumping and just really happy to see you.

Thanks for the kind words, Hay. Yes, christmas will be tough this year, but we all plan to celebrate anyway. Steve would never condone sad behavior for long.

By the way....my youngest is looking at overseas schooling for next year. Some sort of transfer schooling, and one of the schools is in Scotland. What does it cost to rent a space there (I think one of the locations she was looking at was Fife).

Don't go there, the weather's worse than in the rest of the bloody country!:eek:
and they don't have a decent soccer team up there :D

centigrade? :confused:

1 deg Cent
-3 chill factor
If it was 34 C we would n't use a chill factor we would use a heat index.

In Fife area you would be looking in the range of £80 - £110 a week to rent a two bedroomed place (for the least expensive places that is) It's not a bad little area actually, central to a lot of nice places and fine and near the capital.

I quite agree Rich, the four Fife teams aren't all that what with Cowdenbeath, East Fife, Raith Rovers and Dunfermline being our only hopefuls. One SPL team there though, I do have a soft spot for Raith though and they don't exactly see eye to eye with Dunfermline :eek:

Thank Goodness for The Glasgow Rangers :p :D

Oh I see, you were using some ancient measurement, have you still got your abbacus?:confused:

1 deg Cel. is hot, what are you complaining about?:cool:

Is that pounds? or Euros? I'm pretty dense with that stuff. If it's pounds, that comes to $200 a week for rent. I sure hope she finds a cheaper deal (on campus)...:D

That's pounds, I hope we never get the Euro but I think it will happen eventually :eek: When is she planning on coming over or is it just an idea at the moment? She ought to come out with Lyns and I, We'll take her out and give her a nice scottish welcome ;)

I have never got back in a car with Lyns again after my first experience :eek: She assures me she's much better now but I'm not convinced. I'd rather not take the chance :p

If she goes, it will probably be Spring 2007. I'm not sure which location will decide on, she wants to go to Scotland, but she can go to Harlaxton cheaper. If she does go, I am planning to visit her at semester break. Maybe I'll get to meet some of the group...
