While Countrymouse is correct, the pain is legendary, I am relieved there is an answer. If that stone doesn't pass they can often break them up painlessly and they will pass, or can "basket them out." Glad to know he is in care and medicated.

Oh poor chap, the pain is legendary! - but I'm glad it's something straightforward. Hope he's out of the woods very soon.

Thanks, everyone!

Geeeeez, I suppose that I don’t do well in these situations. I tell myself not to freak out but I usually do. My best friend is the opposite. She remains calm in a crisis, then it hits her later. Me, I start freaking out immediately! Then I got upset because the traffic on Napoleon Ave. was awful. Parking was fine because the hospital has a garage.

Anyway, it was kidney stones. So, they gave him fluids in an IV and pain meds. Hopefully, will pass them soon.

My oldest daughter gets stones too. I have never had them but I hear from them that they are painful. I hope that I don’t get them.

I’m glad it wasn’t anything more serious. Again, thanks for your support. I appreciate it so much.

Need Help, I NEVER come to discussions anymore, and for some reason I just came to this today to read your message. I am so worried for your both and I hope this is a false alarm of some kind. My thoughts are with you. I will keep checking in on you.

Say prayers please. Just pulled up in parking garage for the hospital. My husband called me from work, doubled over in pain. He was brought to the ER. I’m a nervous wreck! Going to see what’s going on now.

Need: Oh, good - about your grandpup. I never owned a dog, but I have been a cat owner. Our cats lived the lap of luxury with fresh salmon, chicken and bottled water so I do know how important fur kids are!
This was not the first, second or third time that we purged out our attic. A lot of the items are DD's that we are storing for her. I had thought about donating to Purple Heart as a neighbor does, but it's a LOT! Good luck packing.

Polar and Llama,

Thanks. He seems to be doing better now. My daughter is so good with him. She was the same way with her poodle. That’s her fur baby!

I wish I could meet this dog. I used to dog sit for her poodle when she lived in Louisiana.

Llama,

How do we end up keeping so much stuff? My husband went into the attic with my oldest daughter awhile back. Oh my gosh, I had forgotten about some of the things that we put up there.

I donate to a veterans organization and they pick it up off the porch. Easy!

I have donated to a couple of thrift shops too.

Yes, organizing, packing and moving is the worst part of moving/downsizing!

Need: How horrific for your granddog. Hope he is better.

Good luck on your new residence shopping. I don't want to move. We purged out a lot more things out of our attic - DH was looking for ceiling tiles, which turned into a TON of sorting. Both vehicles are filled up with donations. Some was trashed.

NHWM - how terrible for your grandpup. I hope he's doing ok.

So, we went to look at Condos. My husband and I are not always on the same page! I don’t think that his idea of downsizing is the same as mine. I want a smaller place with good use of space. He looks at a smaller condo as our first small apartment. Grrrrr.

It may be a challenge to find something that we both like. HOA fees are more expensive in certain buildings. We will have to figure out what amenities we want. Some offer 24/7 security, concierge, beautiful pools and very nice gyms, etc.

Some have a very large room that have a huge dining area, lounge area with a television, a bar, complete kitchen and bath. This room can be reserved by the residents to host holiday gatherings or parties.

I like the units with a balcony. I don’t want stairs in the unit. We want a unit that is move in ready in a great location.

Beatty,

A Chinese crested isn’t the most attractive dog but they are sweet. My friend had one. She was a good dog. They loved her. She died. They have a cat now. We miss our beloved fur babies when they die.

Oh my gosh, my daughter called a couple of hours ago panicking. She lives in Denver. She was walking her dog and he became extremely disoriented. She called her vet. They are closed on a Sunday, so she had to do an ER visit.

They tested him for drugs. The vet said that she has seen it before. They eat something in the street and they have ingested drugs. So, the vet said that all of the heavy narcotics, opioids, cocaine, etc. came back negative but he may have eaten gummies with marijuana. It is Colorado where it is legal. Anyway, they are going to treat his condition with fluids and activated charcoal.

It makes me wonder about dogs who accidentally eat a human’s pills that are dropped on the floor.

RIP my little doggy friend I sometimes walked (neighbour's) 😥.

Maybe when we downsize we will get our own..

I did a 'find your dog breed' quiz online for my DH - it choose a Chinese Crested. I had to google it... 🤣🤣🤣

PS I'm sure they are nice.. just not what I expected!

I am feeling more at ease since we buried mom’s ashes in our family plot. I feel like I can start to relax and plan for changes that I wish to make in my life.

We are meeting with a realtor this Saturday. I want to sell this large home and downsize. I want to travel again. I really want another dog but am resistant to getting one at this time. It breaks my heart into a million pieces when it comes time to put them down. Toying with the idea of fostering but knowing me, I would end up adopting the pooch! Maybe I should just volunteer at the shelter. I can take them on their walks.

Thank you so much! We did another trip today not far from home... My first idea was to go to Venice (only 30km from home) but we finally went to the prosecco hills and to a water mill dating from the XVIIth century.

Thank you Llama. We could go to our trip! We did only half of the trail but that's fine... We have a good excuse to go back!
We had lunch, I just abandoned my diet today and had a nice glass of white wine as well as a slice of apple strudel with whipped cream.
A big big treat for me! Feeling better!
... And elaborating strategies to take some of the burden off my shoulders and mind!
