Dead Dogs and Bowling Balls
Or the weekends of Dub..
Last weekend my 15 year old Pom that looked more like a Black Spitz (Same basic breed actually) pretty much fell apart. He has had Addison’s for years - costing me $120 a month in pills. So we felt he has been on borrowed time for a while. Anyhow, he stopped chasing the cats, eating, drinking, lost control of most of the body functions, you get the picture. So on Monday, we took Duncan to the vet and he went to sleep. Kind of sad, but it was time. But I always can see the upside of life changes. Such as being able to stop somewhere after work without having to rush home to make sure that the dog is alive, and he goes outside.
We get new carpeting for the living room now.
I save 120 in cold cashola a month.
What does this have to do with bowling balls? Nothing. The next part does.
THIS WEEKEND:
Gonna look at carpeting of course and Sunday is special. Why? Because:
On Sunday, February 24, 2008, Manor Lanes, 150 Grand Island Boulevard, Tonawanda, will host the Fourth Annual Tonawandas USBC Strike Out Breast Cancer bowling and lunch event from 12-3 p.m. Bowlers and friends will participate indrawings for prizes in this event to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and Roswell Park Cancer Institute’s initiatives to defeat breast cancer. Over $700 was raised toward the fight against breast cancer during the 2007 event.
Some come join me on Sunday for some cheap bowling, basket raffle, and food, all for a good cause.

Sorry for your loss, reminds me of a story.
Polish widow lives with her two sons.
Oldest son – Andy, goes on vacation, while away, his childhood dog – King dies.
Andy returns home.
King doesn’t come to welcome him.
Andy asks his younger brother – Stan, “Where’s King?”
“He died.” replies Stan..
“Jeeze”, says Andy, “that ‘s pretty cold! You could have softened the loss by saying something like ‘King’s on the back porch”
Again that same year, Andy again goes on vacation.
When Andy returns, he says to Stan, “I picked up a great gift for Mom, I want to give it to her right now!”
“Mom’s on the back porch!” says Stan.

sorry to hear about your loss.. but he is definately in a better place.. About 10 yrs ago we had a doberman that had a heart condition and she was the sweetest dog but needed meds to keep her going..It got to the point where I was being selfish..I didnt want to put her to sleep because I would miss her..She passed away at home and I always felt guilty.. You did the right thing…
