Today at 1:30 we watched our precious Sammy go in to a long sleep, he looked so peaceful and we knew that it was the right thing to do. He obeyed our last command to go and get in the car, without hesitation, just as though his heart and lungs were not failing and he took the ride with his nose out the window most of the trip. Once we arrive all of his energy was gone and he had to have help standing, they put towels under him and gently lifted him to a private room, so we could be with him....we told him how beautiful he was, gave him a drink of water, and plenty of kisses. The the time came and we knew with the labored breathing and the conjestion in his lungs that this was a merciful thing to do.....in a few minutes he was asleep and then gone.....our precious dog who has been so brave and faithful. We will place his ashes in the garden down where he would look and consider his great escape, he will have his bowl and his collar.....Sammy you have now made the ultimate great escape and you are at peace...we love you sweetie... Thank all of you for sharing this with me.. many thanks for your kind words..Posted Jul-31-08 07:18:47 PDT  This is Sammy when he escaped and went down the mountain behind us, Stan had to go down and bring him back up, it took quite awhile...he loved to wander off if we did not keep an eye on him.....has been a very long day...Posted Jul-30-08 22:20:16 PDT Updated Jul-30-08 22:47:27 PDT I worked on getting all of my packages out tonight as I know that tomorrow will not be a good day for us. Sammy has slept most of the day and did eat a good dinner, he sat outside with us for awhile and then the heat got to him and he came in to the nice cool house, where he lays in front of the door. He has had his favorite snacks, peanut butter sandwiches and plenty of loving today. Stan has walked him several times and each time he has more trouble breathing, but he was still up for barking at a strange dog walking past.....they never quite give up. Many thanks to all that stopped earlier, your concern and thoughts were greatly appreciated. ((((hugs)))) and blessings! The pictures below is Sammy's last big escape, Stan had to go down and get him back up, took some doing. This was last April .
JUST PEEKING IN TO SAY HELLO!Posted Jul-30-08 17:03:18 PDT It has been a quiet day here, hotter than blazes and we have spent most of the day in the house, just ejoying each other. We had less than a half hour of rain...did not cool anything off, just made it steamy.. ((((hugs))) and blessings! will catch you all later
Tomorrow,Posted Jul-30-08 08:41:51 PDT Updated Jul-30-08 13:51:00 PDT I will say goodby to a companion I have had for nearly 16 years, he has been at my side and protected me, being ever faithful to me. I was his first love and he never had eyes for another, this is my dog Sammy. He can no longer live with dignity and we have given him extra years by changing his medicatiion and building a house to meet his needs, by adding stairs that were spaced out far enough that his body would have a complete step before he took the next step. We fenced the yard, so he was able to be out at will. Three years ago we did not think he would live to see this house and he did and he loved it all, every inch, every flower bed, not much he missed. He still at his ripe old age at 15 will wander off if not watched and he will do his best to outfox me. Now he is beginning to fall on his walks and has to wait a long time before he can get up, little by little we are seeing that his dignity is going and he was so proud of pleasing us, never wanting to make a mess on the floor. More often that not he cannot make it to the door now and worries every minute, his hearing has deminished and he has no idea where we are until we touch him. This precious dog loved our baby poodle so much that he allowed her to chew on bones he held for her as a puppy, he taught her well, because she is the most loving one, and while she can only play with his head, since he is such a big dog, every day they greet each other with a play battle. Today will be his day, we will spend time loving him just a little more and giving him his best treats, and realizing that we need to hold him and give him so much love that he will take it with him in the full body of his living, that in dying he is embraced by those that love him so much. This precious animal has given us much, he has loved us with out fail and tried his very best to be all that we wanted, and we loved him with all of our heart. We wil cry most of the day, remembing all of the wonderful times and he did all he could do to make a good life with us. Stan I will hold him til the end and tell him that we love him, and then Stan and I will go back later and pick up his ashes to place in our back yard where Sammy loved so much . Love all that is with you, take time to smell the roses, laugh and feel the fullness of life... (((((hugs)))) and blessings to all!!! talked to daugther in L. A.Posted Jul-30-08 01:46:39 PDT Updated Jul-30-08 01:48:25 PDT She was in her house when the quake hit, and they ran outside, left a crack in one of her walls and they definitely knew it was an earth quake. If this one had not been so deep it would have been more serious. Seems like I am always calling her to see if they are ok, either fire, or flood and now earth quake. Soon they wil be on the road for her album tour and maybe life will get calm for awhile, they sold one of thier properties and a song has been accepted for a movie, so they are winding down to spend some time on the road and do a tour through the south, then head up here for a few days. You can check her schedule on tawnyellis.com, her new song album (EVOLVE OR DIE) will be released on the 29th of August and as per usual I will get 10 autographed ones immediately to sell on ebay. Gone back to bed. (((((hugs)))) and blessings!

Free Quick*Sell Gallery from ISDN*tek What is a troll?Posted Jul-29-08 17:24:22 PDT define “ internet trolls ”http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_08.htmlYes, we can define internet trolls, but we will not catch all with one definition. We may be able to separate them though, and that'll bring us a long way towards the goal of handling them to our advantage. Internet trolls are disturbing factors in any internet-society. Any person who has disturbance as their main (or maybe only) goal, is definitely an internet troll. In most cases the actual handling of internet trolls is what makes the difference. Rushed judgment of, and reaction to, internet trolls may cause more harm than good. Reacting too quickly and/or locking ourself into pre-defined positions and cry "troll", is rarely ever the right way to go. use your imagination...   Failing to detect internet trolls early enough, may lead to problems. Seeing internet trolls everywhere is definitely an even bigger problem. Since everyone may end up acting like an internet troll at times, we should first look at ourselves. We humans are more like each other than we tend to think, so it may be a good start to observe our own actions and reactions before jumping to judgments about others. good internet trolls…In short: trolls are not always trolls — they may just behave as if they are. Positively oriented people may stir up some controversy from time to time, but what separates the good trolls from the bad trolls is the open agenda positively oriented people have. Don't shut out the good trolls, as there won't be much left if we do. - in search of knowledge:Someone in serious search of knowledge and facts may provoke slightly at times, and may easily be categorized as a troll by someone who isn't looking for anything beyond the established. This is a well known limiting-factor, which is not good for progress. People who openly search for knowledge are usually good for any society. We should encourage those even if we don't follow them along every path. - curiosity:Some people are always curious, and that's usually a good thing. Let's handle their curiosity in small doses so we don't grow tired of them. If they grow in the right direction when fed, then they may contribute much more to any society than they get from it. Let's hope they never grow out of their curiosity, because such people drive progress. - mind-blocking:Someone may simply not see the forest for all the trees, and be in need of a mind-jog. Nothing wrong in that, so we may as well guide them back on track. If they are in constant need of mind-jogs, then it may be time to re-categorize them. - non-contributers:People who don't contribute anything useful other than maybe some "parrot-talk" to a society, may just be newbies. Don't judge them to early, as we may all need a bit of time and knowledge before becoming contributing members of any society. Don't shout at newbies (or anyone else for that matter). - accidental:Cultural differences may cause unintentional disturbances. One should be aware of this phenomena, and not add anything into unclear messages. It is impossible to perfect international communication, regardless of what language we use for communication. not trolls, but sometimes…There's a large gray area where we all spend most of our time. We think of it as an area for normal behavior, but such normal behavior is hard to define. - border-lines:Try to avoid defining normal behavior at all, and just draw some lines for what's acceptable. If we can't accept it, then it's important to look at what's going on and why we can't accept it. If we don't understand ourselves, then it may be pretty hard to understand others. Most of us are not trolls, although we may stray into such behavior from time to time. Complete neutrality is rarely an option—at least not a good one. Normal humans tends to be all over the place in their behavior, simply because we are humans. That's a good sign, so keep plenty of space open for normal human behavior. - short bursts:Short bursts of disturbing behavior is not uncommon and should be tolorated to a degree, while prolonged disturbing and destructive behavior should be observed and limited by some sort of common rules. Remember that we most often have to destroy something old before we can build something new, so not all destructive forces are bad ones. - don't be too strict:Shrinking the space where normal people can spread their wings, will lead to loss of important resources. This will in turn make disturbing behavior and trolling the only options left for creative and positive humans, so too exclusive societies will create their own trolls and loose all ability to handle anything. Narrow-minded societies will easily collapse and become victims of their own strategy. - don't be too tolorant:Widening the space too far and becoming too tolorant, may also lead to weakness and collapse, simply because there aren't any control-mechanisms and/or leadership in such societies. Some moderation has to be observed, so there has to be moderators in one form or another if such open societies are to survive. bad internet trolls…
Before looking into ways to separate the bad trolls from the good ones, we have to figure out any hidden agendas that bad trolls usually have. If we don't see them coming, then we may not know what's happening before it's too late. It is important to be very careful here, as hidden agendas are just that — hidden. Watch and learn before choosing proper action, and first of all: don't feed the trolls. - wanting attention:Attention-seekers may be harmless people, but if attention is all they want then they should be overlooked. Difficult to draw a line here, because most people want attention. Watch out for this contradiction: wanting attention while hiding behind complete anonymity, is one of the clearest signs of bad attention-seeking. - wanting confirmation:Those who only seeks confirmation and agreement are easy to separate from all others after a while, and they may as well be ignored once they are spotted. No use arguing with such people, and playing their game isn't useful either. They've already got what they want and know all they need to know, so there's no need to give them more of the same. - looking for trouble:Maybe impossible to spot at first, but professional troublemakers can't hide for long. They tend to get hungry, so they either try to stir up things through some controversial responses, or they leave in their constant search for better hunting-grounds. Some can be quite cunning and persistant though, so keep a close watch. good judgment…It's the outcome, the effect, that's important here. If we gain from handling all sorts of internet trolls, then the outcome is good. Yes, it is simple, but good solutions usually are just that. Balancing the response intelligently is the ideal solution when dealing with trolls. Slow things down a bit and see if the bad trolls lose interest. The good trolls will usually adjust to, and learn from, the society, because that's usually why they came in the first place. Keep it low key, and avoid getting distracted from the real issues an internet-society is created for. The good trolls should get all the good stuff we may have to share with them, and the bad trolls should be politely ignored. sincerely Hageland 28.apr.2005 VINTAGE EARRINGS CLIPS ONS *** SCREW BACK EARRINGS *** PIERCED EARRINGSslowly but surely we are going greenPosted Jul-28-08 16:34:09 PDT Updated Jul-29-08 13:59:09 PDT We are changing out all of the light bulbs, the ones now are so much better than they used to be. I tried this several years ago and was not happy with the light power, now they are wonderful, it takes a minute, but once they are on they are bright and just as good as the old costly bulb. Now if I can bring myself to do the paper and can thing, we don't have pick up and have to take it to a collection sight. so this is my next goal.
the reason why I come to read the blogs...it warms my heartPosted Jul-28-08 09:27:09 PDT Updated Jul-28-08 09:33:07 PDT Many days, I just read, some days I visit, some days I say something to a few, and often leave with many heart warming words and thoughts. I watched the utube about the father and the marathons today on chicken mama's blog (tears on this one) and and peeked around at the other ones, saw my friend blue is still here, he is a gentle soul and he does not know how much he is loved, maybe it is about being loved and not selling. I received a beautiful email from angel 13 today, and it touches the foundation of my life to see life in others as it changes and things happen. I am not one to wait on the Lord and often want to prode things along and just when I think I need to have my hand in things HE reveals something else to me. Of course there are days that I bite my tongue and say nothing, when maybe things should be said, and other times what is being so offered here as truth is so absurd, that only basic logic and reason will eventually prevail . The blogs are definitely a place that is as diverse as you want and/or can be so basic to the needs (as simple) as asking for prayers or a hug, that it continualy amazes me.

good morning everyone!Posted Jul-28-08 02:57:57 PDT Only here for a few minutes, slept only about three and a half hours, and figured that I was hungry after laying there awake. So, I have had a bowl of cereal and will head back to bed to get about four more hours of sleep. This is hoping that all are going to have a good week of sales and life...
Well I did it again...Posted Jul-27-08 21:07:05 PDT Let the day make its own plan and things just moved on like I am not in charge. Since I did not sleep well last night, I napped after church and then we had a service at church for our 125th celebration at 2:30, and they did the ceremony in the garden, then a tea party in the church house next to the garden. Then we went to Wallmart, we are on a quest to get the yard and everything in shape before my daughter comes in September, so we bought more stuff for the trails and more peat most...ect. By the time we got home and settled, the flowers watered and company stopped by, the day was gone. And I managed to drink a glass of wine and wiped out my ability to think or list anything...so indeed the day just took over without any consideration for me... So I will send ((((hugs)))) and blessings!! night...will not be here to respond....so just visit among yourselves.
Tonight my little poodle showed me how smart she is...Posted Jul-27-08 19:29:16 PDT Updated Jul-27-08 19:40:22 PDT Earlier today I gave her a chewy that she dearly loves, there is only one thing more that she really would love and that is to play with the dog next door. The dog (Sadie) next door just tolerates my poodle, who chases circles around her and will sit for hours just wishing that Sadie would appear, when she comes home with her master in the evening, my Emy always wants to be outside to greet her. Tonight she carried that chewy around for an hour til she saw Sadie and went and gave it to her.....now this means that she had to think this out. Of course Sadie took the treat, and Emy was so thrilled, that was enough for her.... Emy is a sweetheart of a dog... CONGRATULATIONS!
