It's so very hard to lose our fur babies, and is so sad to see them suffer before the end. I still grieve the loss of my girls more than two years later...both to the demon cancer. 😢 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't think she is going down yet but she is not eating, very lethargic and her eyesight is going. The other night she tried to go down the stairs and fell. It's a miracle that she did not break any bones. Tonight while watching tv she just laid in my lap clinging to me. She usually lays next to me but not on me. It's sad. Luckily our dog/house sitter has watched her before. She is good. I have to prepare myself that she could go downhill while we are on our cruise. I can't stand to see any animal not their regular happy self. Thank you for your concern. I really appreciate it. These are times when you know how much you love a pet. When it makes your heart hurt knowing they’re slipping away. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to cancel the transatlantic cruise we booked for later this month. Three years ago, I was diagnosed with advanced metastatic melanoma in my neck. We had to cancel a European trip that was supposed to begin the day after my surgery. Stuff happens, unfortunately, doesn't it? Life getting in the way of life. I hope your wife gets exactly the right course of treatments to make her whole again. Next year a transatlantic cruise will be closer to normal than they are today. 🙏🙏🙏 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted November 3, 2021 #36158 Share Posted November 3, 2021 All packed (weird packing only cold weather clothes) for our early flight tomorrow morning to Spokane Washington. Three hour drive in the rental SUV to Lake Chelan. A week of enjoying the area wines, without the crowds, being off season. Will be enjoying nights at the condo with the fire going and enjoying some interesting Syrahs we will pick up during our winery tours. 😉 Bucky packed his massive polar bear type coat (I think he over did it, but I am not going to tell him that. He would use it against me if he froze by not taking it! 😄 ). Me, I am more into the Alaska version of "layering". Comical watching him try to close his suitcase. 😉 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our older son got married about 5 years ago at New York City Hall. There were about 15 people present and we celebrated at a NYC restaurant. Fast forward to my younger son's wedding.

Both very different 😉 and both very beautiful in their own way. My family is not into posting personal photos, but here is a pic of the reception setting prior to the arrival of the guests. It was quite the party! Congratulations to the whole family. Stunning and elegant venue for a wedding. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted November 3, 2021 #36166 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) @mets07 I must say your new daughter in law as excellent classy taste. That setting is AWESOME. Looks like they had a dream wedding reception and I am sure everything else was perfect. I wish them the best of happiness as they start their lives as a married couple. CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm been having a tough time dealing with the fact that my sweet dog's body (liver and back) is failing him. I need a new dog sitter and although he is no problem I worry about leaving him with someone new. He thinks he is a pup and could easily get hurt or paralyzed if given the chance to jump on any furniture. @Sea DogI'm glad you have someone you trust to care for Maggie. A good sitter is worth their weight in gold! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheal Posted November 3, 2021 #36171 Share Posted November 3, 2021 @DaveSJ711 More thoughts and prayers for your wife. The cruise will happen, just not this year. A similar situation happened with my in-laws with their cruise to Alaska. Both times my MIL was diagnosed right before each trip but they made it, just took a few years! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, @Lionesss She does have exquisite taste and detailed planning skills - ha. They wanted a non-stop party and orchestrated the Reception to keep the fun and dancing going. The after-party was just off the main room and kept the party going another 90 minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheal Posted November 3, 2021 #36174 Share Posted November 3, 2021 @mets07 That is one beautiful castle! It is obvious how much work went into getting this place picture perfect.

MJSailors Posted November 3, 2021 #36175 Share Posted November 3, 2021 mets07 Congratulations and good wishes to the newlyweds! Was the reception at Oheka Castle? I have been to several luncheons there. The grounds certainly accommodate lovely photo ops especially with the LI Sound in the background. The photos will be fabulous !
