    As much as I will cry my eyes out for an animal, it will never stop me from doing the right thing and letting them go!

    +1 to that.

    Sorry to hear about the dog dying sufferlandrian. That is a lot rougher than my issues

    @LacednLace and @bethanie0825 I am up all on my own, which is why I am still here even though I am not technically on nights anymore!

    I think we all agree, cancer blows.

    The thing about animals is they try so hard to hide their pains so as not to seem weak. Humans can be the opposite, they show pain/weakness to take advantage of the caring hearts of others.

    Working at MD Anderson all we seem to talk about is cancer.

    Although we are experimenting with a drug to help rebuild insulin producing cells. So far, it is looking pretty successful! :drinker:

    Checking in. 5hrs down. 7 to go. I'm still rocking first place status on our 911 lines right now! :drinker: (And thats my way of saying cheers, of course I cant celebrate with drinks at work) Tested my cardio after shift. This morning when I got off.....was surprised at how successful it was. 60min of very light jogging (im seriously out of shape so its whats im capable of.) 5.5 laps was the jog and 1.5 laps were walking. Im pretty proud of that. My second small session of cardio before work wasn't nearly as successful. :neutral: Then again I only got 4hrs of sleep. :disappointed: Ah well. Looks like workouts after work trial run for a bit. How's everyone's night going?

    I am never as good running after work as before. Being a night owl I usually can't get going early...but that is what I suggest on paper! To go before work.

    I think I will do better going after. The endorphin's will keep me up a little longer but I noticed I was more focused, I had slightly better energy since I didnt feel groggy like I do when I wakeup, and it helps me process my shift and the bad/good of every call so I dont go to bed with nearly as many emotions. Im gonna continue to test this though.

    I might have enough calories for 2!

    I'd hate to be hungover driving the kids to school in the AM though.....difficult decisions :)

    it depends, but yes. Animals are very stoic usually. People can be as well, or they can be attention seekers. Depends on the case.

    I have that problem too. I'm groggy when I wake up and too tired after my drive home in the morning. I usually don't workout on my work days and that def needs to change.

    That's awesome to it looking successful so far!!! And you're right, did you know studies show that a K9 will leave the owner when they know its their time to pass? I learned that when I was in middle school I think. And I've seen it so many times in action that it breaks my heart.

    Drive them to school then go have your drinks somewhere safe. Sleep off the effects and whala, you're good to go. :wink:

    OH I have never seen this! I have seen dogs unwilling to accept their Mommy or Daddy is gone. Staying with the body or the house.

    I have seen it go both ways.

    I have also seen one of my ferrets just lay down next to a dead member of the business. Like he just wanted to give up on life and go too. When I tried to move him he started screaming. It was the saddest thing ever. I'm tearing up just typing it. :cry:

    He ended up being okay and living for another 2 years but they had been buddies for so long.

    I can't have 2 big dogs but I would love a labradoodle or goldendoodle or mini! Such a great mix of the breeds! Thanks for the happy news!

    @sufferlandrian ELEVEN?! Woah :o Glad everyone is healthy. Do doggy moms often get wigged out over people handling their puppies?

    I've been bitten before but most of the time you know if that's coming so I make sure they can't get me hard. Most moms are pretty good to work with.
