She was a rescue, wonderful with the kids as they grew up, but she was worn out and ready for peace.Countess, think of giving someone else (another GS or some other breed) your love and care. Think of all you received from your shepherd. Yes it hurts to lose them but think of the joy they bring.We stil have the rescued Corgi that was supposed to be DD's dog but could not go off to college with her and is now Daddy's Doggie. He's 9; been with us 7 years. Janet John, you and Heidi were wonderful to take care of the wounded kitty.

It takes special people to spend money to take care of an animal that they know they will not be able to keep. I'm involved with our local Humane Society and there are too many times when we have to arrange care for animals that have been abandoned and injured. I looked at the RNLI website. Much honor (spelled correctly!!) and thanks is due to Commander Alan and all the people who volunteer for what is often dangerous lifesaving work. John, thanks very much for taking care of the cat.

Watching the series is so much fun that you forget that these are actors and no real vets!When I was in St. Kitts, we took a tour out to the Batik factory and watched the ladies make this beautiful fabric. The factory was set on the grounds of a very lush old building and was a lot of fun.Oh, by the way, Pineapples do not grow on trees... they grow on shrubs. We were on a tour that stopped at a Pineapple plantation and they showed us the way they cultivated them. Gave us samples too!! YUM!Great news about your Pussy. I love mine that I got from the local shelter. Too bad that you can't keep her and they make great pets.Keep up the good work and enjoy Venice... I hope the tides have receded, otherwise you might need a raft!Cheers! Derek John,

Our pets certainly have a way of working (sneaking) their way into our hearts.What a great interview with Gavin McLeod. Because of the watching the Love Boat, Don and I 'snuck' onto a Princess cruise ship while in Acapulco, back in 1973. We simply walked in like we belonged there. Nobody stopped us and it never dawned on us that we shouldn't do it. We had a nice, unguided tour, and left. For a few minutes we pretended that we were sailing on the Love Boat.Thanks for sharing with us what your mate Alan has been up to! I will now check the website. What a great thing to do. John, where do I start?

You're a good man!And, I'd like to mention the jeep tour in Roatan. We did that when we cruised on the Glory last year and really enjoyed it. You drive the jeeps yourself, they are "standard" transmission so fun to drive, and the routes we covered were varied and sometimes "exciting," i.e., through mud and water in a jungle like area near the beach. Included a nice meal at a restaurant on the beach.Thanks for the interview with THE Captain...what a fun career he's had!Hope you've done all your Christmas shopping.Merry Christmas to you, Heidi and Thingy Desk,Your Pal, Myra Hey, John,

I'm sure someone will grab her up and give her a good home.I am one of the biggest fans of Capt. Steubing. My father had been in the merchant marines in the 20's and early 30's and never got over his love of the seas. When I moved to Calif., I was hired by Pacific Far East Lines as a reservationist ( remember the old Leilani, competitor to the Lurline out of Los Angeles?), but being 21 years old and green as grass when it came to travel, they moved me and I became their teletype operator for about a year until my first son was born. So, with raising two boys by myself - my husband passed in 1963 - forget travel. But my dream was to eventually go on a cruise, thanks to the Love Boat. I watched every episode and still love the show. I finally took my first cruise on the old Independence out of Honolulu - it was a tub but I had a blast!. Now I am in my 70's and still hooked. I have done about 14 cruises so far and have five more planned.Have a wonderful Christmas and I'm looking forward to meeting you in 2009. God bless.Kathleen Lovely blog today.
