Sorry to hear that Kari! The wife and I will be praying for you. As for lounging around the house in your BVD's and enjoying a beer. Now that it's just the wife and me during the summer I do the same thing except it's ice tea. On extremely hot days and I've been working outside all day I have been known to have a cold beer or two (my limit). :)
Today, I put my 14.5 year old dog, Pippin, to sleep.
Yesterday, he lost the ability to stand up to eat, or do any other bodily functions. His strength had been failing for quite a while, but he fought on.
It was quick, and peaceful in the end. My thanks to the vet who expertly, and painlessly, laid him to rest.
Tomorrow I will put him in the ground.
The beginning of the month the wife and I had to replace our oil furnace. It was old and the heat exchanger was cracked in several places. The heating company talked us in to going with propane instead of staying with oil. Today I found out that the cost of using propane is going to be way more expensive than using oil ever was. I didn't know it but they refilled our two 120 gallon tanks on the 6th and they took 90 gallons. I got the bill in todays mail. I checked the gauge and the tanks are about 55% already. Our oil furnace never burnt anywhere near that. I'm going to call the company tomorrow and see if they need to make some adjustments.
Edit: Problem solved. I called the company and found out that when the installed the tanks they only delivered 90 gallons. I paid the bill early and thinking they had delivered 200 gallons I paid the full amount. They said I have a credit for 110 gallons they didn't deliver yet.
