I have been feeling a little down. It could be the extra hours I have been working the last week, and I am just so tired. I start missing my Dad and my dog, Oscar.

Dad dropped dead of a heart attack Sept 93. Aside from just being a super father, he was such a nice man. My dad taught me stuff just like he would have a son. I learned to drive a tractor, hammer a nail, fish, run a boat, ect. He always took me with him to run errands, and was fun to be with. I cry a lot even after all these years. I miss him so much and he's a daily thought.

Oscar had to be put to sleep Aug 06. He is also a daily thought. He was my puppy, even at his older age. It broke my heart to end his life, but the sad look, and loss of happiness in his life let me know it was time. To put it off would have been selfish.

I have been watching the ads, for a mutt puppy to give a home to. I'll probly try the humain society. It is so hard to understand all the unwanted pets out there. Everyone wants the "puppy", but the puppy stage is over so fast.
