    I'm so sorry, Katra. Losing a beloved companion is devastating.
    Having to make such a decision is even moreso. I have had to do the
    same. It something I've never gotten over. Take care...

    "Getting over it" means one never knew how to love.
    All you can really do is cope....

    One can never "replace" a furry companion after caring for one for so
    many years.

    When I had to put my beloved mutt Sampson down after 18 years I was
    devastated. When I called the apartment manager to tell her to remove the
    $15 monthly pet fee because my dog had died, she replied glibly, "Just get
    another one." Obviously not an animal lover.

    I can never understand people that say "it's just a dog".

    I pity them actually.

    Steamed Chinese dumplings -- the kind with pork and lots of ginger &
    garlic. Preferably from my favorite BA restaurant. (Where you get six
    large, juicy, delicious dumplings for like $3.50!)

    Oh come on now, surely you could eat more than that for a lower
    price????????

    Yes, you could. There are dollar joints in that neighborhood, for
    example. However, what I tried to convey about those $3.50 steamed
    dumplings is that they're outrageously good!

    You need to steal the recipe. <G>

    My answer would be the same as it was the last 6 times this was
    posted ;-)

    I wouldn't be eating if I knew I only had 12 hours to live. I'd
    probably be drinking and screwing. Not lightbulbs, either.

    Screwing a lightbulb must hurt...glass shards. Glad you're not doing that!


    sounds kinda ....SHOCKING!! bwhahahah

    I actually tried to get the recipe from the chef, but he doesn't speak
    English!

    I've found recipes in Chinese cookbooks which come close.

    <shrugs> Bummed out actually.

    I had to put my beloved fuzzymutt, Corwyn the Sheltie to sleep Monday
    morning.

    He'd been paralyzed for 3 weeks due to severe spinal arthritic
    degeneration and congestive heart failure. It was a tough decision but
    he made it for me when he started refusing food.

    I'm more depressed than bored. He was almost 15. <sigh>
    Trying to take my mind off of it. My eyes hurt from crying too much.

    I'm sorry! That's so hard.
    losing a pet is such a hard thing.

    For my last meal, make it a rib roast. I'll take seconds, maybe thirds.
    The veggies can be roasted with it. I'll take red potatoes, carrots,
    celery, and onions, all roasted/braised with the roast.

    Of course this would call for gravy and a crusty loaf of fresh and
    still warm bread. the butter will be a cultured butter, whipped up with
    fresh herbs.

    I'll take the bacon on the side if necessary. Serve them with the

    I'll also take a small salad. Blue cheese, romaine, ripe tomatoes and a
    bit of red onion. The bacon can go here.

    And I'll have a bottle of Barolo or Barbaresco, preferably Gaja 1990.
    With desert, I'll have a Sauterne. Speaking of which, Desert will be a
    blackberry-peach cobler with Graeter's cinnamon ice cream.

    "Getting over it" means one never knew how to love.

    Yes, you're so right.

    Thanks dear! Letting my vet put him down is probably one of the
    hardest things I've ever had to deal with, but I owed him a peaceful
    and painless death. He was suffering so by the time it was time.

    I understand. My beloved Margaret (kitty) was is in considerable pain
    from kidney failure. It seemed the right choice.

    Right choice indeed, but oh so hard.
    I stayed and held him while she did the injection, crying all the time
    and telling him what a good boy he was.

    Yes, I remember being with Margaret and doing the same. I had a real
    meltdown when I got home. I have her ashes is a small antique box in my
    nightstand.

    3 days since then. His bed was next to my computer chair. Can't reach
    down to skritch his ears anymore.......

    I'm considering looking to rescue a new friend, (I prefer to adopt
    rejected adults rather than messing with puppies), but there is no
    rush.

    All my cats have been rescues, and all have been adults except for one
    little kitten that no one wanted and they were going to put her down.

    Cool. :-)

    All ours (cats) have been rescues too, but a few were indeed kittens.
    1 week or so old and needed bottle feeding! The last one I rescued was
    about 12 weeks old and got hit by a car right in front of me. Unconcious
    and postured from a head injury.

    Aw, poor little baby. Good for you!

    Quoted message said:

    He has some permanent brain damage, but grooms himself, eats and drinks
    and uses the kitty box, just is not the brightest bulb in the box. <G>
    Pure white with gold eyes and "circles" in the direction of the head
    injury if he gets scared or excited. He's also very loving.

    We named him "Taz" due to the circling behavior. ;-)

    I bet he's a real sweetie!

    No, not replacements, only new additions to offer love and caring.

    'zactly.

    I'm on the lookout for an adult female Corgi.
    I'd prefer a sable and white Pembroke.

    There are rescue groups.

    Normally I just cruise the local shelter to see what they have and go
    from there, but I got to associate with a corgie earlier this year, and
    fell in love. I sorta have my heart set on one now.

    Corgis make wonderful pets. My grandmother had one who lived to a ripe old
    age. They are quite devoted.

    Mm, never have had a real rib roast. :-)
    Just local prime rib steaks. Sounds good!

    It is all the same part of the cow. Cut a rib roast (aka Prime Rib,
    apparently even if it isn't "Prime"😉 into steaks and you have rib eye.
    I'd call it the raison d'etre for cattle, but the cows may disagree...

    I'll also take a small salad. Blue cheese, romaine, ripe tomatoes and a
    bit of red onion. The bacon can go here.

    Bacon, yeah, but caeser or ranch dressing.

    I'm suffering from Ranch burn-out. But a good caesar dressing would be
    delicious.

    And I'll have a bottle of Barolo or Barbaresco, preferably Gaja 1990.
    With desert, I'll have a Sauterne. Speaking of which, Desert will be a
    blackberry-peach cobler with Graeter's cinnamon ice cream.

    I'll go with that dessert, but the wine must be Moscato........

    Truth be told, I'll drink almost anything from the Piedmont.
