As for thunderstorms, when they come roaring in here it scares me so much that I have to get up and stand guard. You know, just in case.<br /><br />That's got to be so difficult with Max, cleaning up after him all the time, but if you love him what else can you do. It's sad.Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-77978942413327630252011-12-18T14:30:04.544-05:002011-12-18T14:30:04.544-05:00There is nothing like a man who can cook!

They send me off into noddyland while I'm being pummelled mercilessly.<br /><br />Poor Max, it's not his fault, is it. I'd clean up after him too. Until he is actually in pain or unable to walk or something, I'd let him live. And comfort him.<br /><br />As for the hermitty thing: that's exactly why we are soul twins. Doing good, (not that I do a lot of it, actually) you can do at one remove. You don't actually have to spend much emotion while doing good.<br /><br />I am a hermit by nature, how glad do you think I am that we will be a twosome at Christmas? Himself doesn't count, he is simply an extension of me and just as hermit-like as me.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-80558122094913124892011-12-18T12:50:03.746-05:002011-12-18T12:50:03.746-05:00I listen to lute music of the Renaissance or Grego...I listen to lute music of the Renaissance or Gregorian Chant at bedtime. <br /><br />I have discovered that men don't like dealing with anything that hits too close to home on a personal level.

It's such a tough situation, especially now around the holidays when you've got other things to think about.

Poor humans Getting old is no fun for 2 or 4-leggeds. As everyone commented, and from my own recent experience with Rufus, you WILL know. My husband said something to me one of those days when I was hyperventilating over having to change the bedding yet again and mop the floor 5 times in one morning - you don't put someone down for having a weak bladder.<br /><br />As for your hairdresser. You're obviously a much nicer person than me. I would have been very cross at the late response, to put it politely. Those relaxation CDs must be working :)georgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.com
