Weekend Plans
Working and spending time with the pooch - he's not doing well.
Not going to be a total wash out this weekend.
So what's up for the weekend?

Prayers for the dog John.
Hoping for crap weather as I want to fish and the only way I will is if we have rain and wind and the jamokes stay home.
Other than that, working at the GC as usual both days but it is a "blow off the tee boxes and go home, type of thing." Usually home by 8:30 to 9:00 AM

Not sure, but I can assure you that I won't be launching for the season this weekend... Now I am not a naysayer when it comes to global warming, but the next five days' forecast does not add to the argument... Actually, I put the winter cover back on (loosely tied) to keep all the wind-borne leaves and crap out.
Tough duty, John. I have been as tempted as ever this spring to get another dog, now that I can walk again. Just don't know if I can bear to go through the end again.

When I asked my yellow lab’s vet when I would know, he simply responded, she’ll tell you. Made it to 15 though which is pretty good for a lab.

Sorry to hear about the pup JR. Spend as much time as you can with him and let him eat steak and ice cream (my Vet's advice when we had to put Rissa down last year).

Spent the weekend camping in Plymouth...in the rain for the most part. My mom spend a night with us and then my son came up with his girl friend. Still makes me happy that he wants to spend time with his parents.

I can relate to that, I’d swap any of my sisters to get any one of my dogs back.

Sorry John
We had to do the same with our 13 year old greater Swiss last year it hurts .. However I found a Vet who will come to your Home. No stress on the Dog friendly and familiar surroundings. makes it a bit easier on Family .
No more animals for us .

Both pets I’ve had to put down were done at home which I think was significantly less stressful on the animals. Unfortunately there are few vets that do home visits.
As an aside, my x wife’s cat and I never got along. The night before he was to be euthanized he cuddled up to me and watched tv for two hours I think to make amends. They know exactly what is going on.

Feel for you John. A tough stretch you’re in.
Something different about the loss of a good dog.
