This was one of two possible next series for me to start (maybe next week) with Unincorporated Man being the other.

Have you ever seen the original Yours, Mine and Ours? Near the end of the movie, as she’s giving birth to their first child, the oldest girl was asking questions about sex and love… Its an amazing scene, and a lot of what you’ve said is similar to the movie. He makes a great statement that… I just love.

“Colleen North: [Helen is about to have a baby] I know this is a terrible time to talk about it, but Larry says…

Frank Beardsley: I’ve got a message for Larry. You tell him this is what it’s all about. This is the real happening. If you want to know what love really is, take a look around you.

Helen North: What are you two talking about?

Frank Beardsley: Take a good look at your mother.

Helen North: Not now!

Frank Beardsley: Yes, now.
[to Colleen]
Frank Beardsley: It’s giving life that counts. Until you’re ready for it, all the rest is just a big fraud. All the crazy haircuts in the world won’t keep it turning. Life isn’t a love in, it’s the dishes and the orthodontist and the shoe repairman and… ground round instead of roast beef. And I’ll tell you something else: it isn’t going to a bed with a man that proves you’re in love with him; it’s getting up in the morning and facing the drab, miserable, wonderful everyday world with him that counts.”

What you said, really reminds me of that. A truth that… I don’t think a lot of people know.

Hey Donna! Good to hear from you again.

Thank you for your thinking about Lucy, she was so special and I miss her terribly.

Having 3 dogs is very busy making. We adopted Jazz before Lucy passed, having two seniors and one youngster isn’t so bad, but Jet is somewhere between 9 and 12 months old and Mugen is 2 and a half… so when they get together, which is *all* the time actually, they create absolute chaos.

I try not to just blog about the dogs, but having three of them and being so busy with them… it seems like I don’t end up doing much else LOL!

Hi Random,

I happened upon your blog today while doing an internet search on dog cancer, and wanted to stop in and say Hi! I used to belong to the Lab Forum as Toby’sMom, but I stopped “foruming” a while back. Anyway, I read your post above, and I am so very sorry to hear about Lucy. I am glad that you’ve added another to your crew, and as a three dog owner myself, I am sure that keeps you very busy.

Glad I found your blog, I look forward to reading more. Happy Holidays!

PS – I have no issue with you sounding like John Grogan, since the ONLY thing I blog about is dogs.

We have the same wavelength here. I’m tired of hearing how we have to stop using this, stop watching that or how this company is just evil. Too often we think there’s only one side and that’s the only side that’s talking. If you use a brain, the lump three feet above your ass [Score for the Tom Hanks ref], you would be able to at least grasp that sometimes… There’s more then meets the eye. [sorry, tangented slightly... I was hit with a few 'so and so's evil' yesterday on FB]

I’m tired of people blaming the left or the right… I’ve found myself seeing one or two good things on either side [which tends to be squashed] and much that I can’t stand everywhere. Too often I’m picking between what I can’t stand and what I could deal with. Not really the choices I want to make.

I may not be doing the best job at it… But… For the first time in my life, I’m not talking about what I’d like to do… I’m actually doing it. I’m attempting… So, I get that and I get the sort of…. Randomness of things.

I think I had an actual point… But I don’t recall it any more…

enjoyed reading your blog!!!

Thank you Beth. I think that we gave her a great life too. Even on that last day, she still smiled at me for cheese, even though it was hard for her and she couldn’t walk herself outside, she still tried to smile for me. Letting her go is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

This is Beth (LucyTudeOn4Feet) from the lab board. I miss your posts so much, so I’ve been checking your blog from time to time.
I’m so very sorry to read this about Lucy. I have tears running down my face reading this. She was such a sweet dog, and you gave her a wonderful life. I’m glad Mugen and your family have a new buddy.

Thanks. I haven’t posted about her passing on here yet. It was hard enough to post it on Facebook, the outpouring of support and love there was so overwhelming to me that I had to walk away from my computer for a few hours after I let the folks there know. I haven’t been able to write about how she died yet. She passed on August 11th at 2:45 pm. I miss her all the time. I still can’t write about her without crying.

This is Ruger’s Mom from the lab board. I read your blog from time to time to keep up with Mu & Lu and I am so sorry to hear about Lucy. You two were so lucky to experience the unconditional love between a dog and their special person. Good luck with Jet. I can’t wait to read about his puppy antics.
