you do need a passport to go back and forth to canada nowadays...

It’s a tough thing but I think we’re going to have to put our little guy Bucky off to the next life...he’s not a happy camper in this one any more...he hasn’t been able to eat but just a little for about a week now...he’s not enjoying life anymore...can’t climb the few steps we have to get back into the house...not that I mind carrying him, i don’t but he’s a sad case right now...
He doesn’t seem to be in terrible pain but he’s sick and he’s not happy...stage 4 kidney disease has progressed so far that there is nothing to be done...the cbd doesn’t seem to be helping either...

I'm awefull sorry about Bucky.
My boy Little One went down the same way. I carried him everywhere at the end but he was just too sick to have any quality of life. Hardest thing I've EVER had to do.

 

[thegloman]

Keef is ok.
I got in touch with him this morn. He's just takin care of business. He'll be back.

Red, sorry about Bucky. I have watched my share of dogs die. Early part of my career in Lasers, Drs would get trained on surgical laser in a dog lab. After the surgery they would put them to sleep. Many would wake up with their organs laying on a table and cry in pain. It was a hard thing to watch and participate in, but it is how doctors are trained. Did cadavers too. The tissue interaction with a laser is different in a live creature than it is with a dead one. We tried meat we bought at the grocery store, it didn't react the same way.

a stoner's moment …
4 suits in a deck of cards, 4 seasons to the year
52 cards, 52 weeks a year
if you add up the value of the cards its 365, 365 days a year
you can read conspiracy theories into anything if that's how you read it

Good morning OFC,

Red: I have been in your shoes. I feel your pain. You gave Bucky a great life. It is compassionate and loving to let him go when he is suffering so much. I wish you and yours all the best coping with saying goodbye to Bucky.

365 isn’t divisible by 4

 

[umbra]

Yeah I used 366 because of leap year, because there aren't 365 days in a year, lol

 

[oldfogey8]

364 is better. No fractions. I did do the math though and 91 is the sum of all the cards if you assign the jack, queen and king 11,12 and 13 respectively. If you assign jokers a value of 1 each, then I agree, 366 is good. But jokers are wild so I am not sure what a good value for them would be. I really need to get back to work so I am not a pest anymore. I apologize. We need Keef back on here so I don’t have time to scrutinize stuff.
