I’m sure some have ventured north and vanished...lol

Remember coworker talking about an Uncle that would go up north in Saskatchewan and run a sawmill all winter, one year his helper died during the winter, he put him on ice provided by Mother Nature so to speak in a shed and brought him out in spring when the sawing was done

I’m sure there’s more then a few unmarked graves in the north.  Lots of hardship in the early 1900’s. People coming north to make a life for themselves and not knowing how hard it was really going to be. There’s a area me and my brother quad near big river. Slight family connection as my second cousin the one who took a swing at the cops at the age of 84 cleared the trails and brushcut for them in the depression. Era. There was a group settled there at the begening of the depression not knowing what the soil was really like. It’s either sand or muskeg. They cleared plots and tried to make a living but eventually the gov bought them all out and replanted it back to bush. A lot of the old building sites are still there. I know there’s quite a few people buried there in the area. My cousin put up a fence and made a new road around the cemetery as quads were driving through the middle of it.  Timberlost  is the name of the area.

There's a couple of old ghost towns in BC that all that's left is a grown over cemetary.

I said to myself that I am not going to look at this thread. I know what happens.  Then it happened anyway.

Not much of a pillow, but it isn't getting lost and no one is taking it from him while he's taking a nap.  This Collie cracks me up.

And his sister could really care less.

That guy is a dead ringer for my Great Dane I had about 30 years ago. He was a riot, like living in a Marmaduke cartoon.

Living with a very old dog means feeling your heart speeding up every time you see them a little more stiller than usual and approaching with the fear that they have stopped breathing.

 

Living with a very old dog means being aware that some of the things you'll do together may be the last.

 

Living with a very old dog means thinking ′′ this is their last summer ", ′′ this is their last July ", ′′ This could be the last morning".

 

Living with a very old dog means they bark at any noise at any time, not because they know what they are barking at, its they feel they need to bark and let us know.

 

Living with a very old dog means, you have to lift them up into the truck, the bed, the couch, the stairs.

 

Living with a very old dogs means putting off commitments because  it's important to be close to them.

 

Living with a old dog means we trip over them because they are so sound asleep they don't hear us approaching them.

 

Living with a old dog means accidents in the house, its ok they don't mean to do it.

 

Living with a very old dog means feeling guilty because you know you could have done more, giving them more  runs, more travel, more hugs, more caresses, more everything.

 

I would like to say that living with a very old dog also puts us in the face of our  own death, fragility, vulnerability.

 

Living with a very old dog means we got to experience life with a very old dog, which is one of the best joys on earth!

We were without a dog for a bit after we lost our last one. We finally decided to get another dog. Wanted something smaller but not tiny.

Wound up with Gracie. Part Dandy Dinmont, part Shih Tzu and part sneaky neighbor dog. the prior owners were keeping her in a small kennel about 16 hours a day. They decided it wasn't fair to her so now we have become her pet humans.

She will be 1 next week. She's great with my 3 year old grans son too.

When you got one major shedding machine, you might as well have two.

R.I.P  old buddy, you will be missed.

died in his sleep last nite. 13 years was a good run for him. 

the hardest part will be telling the kids when they get home from school. He always met them regardless of the weather.
