Stephanie our pet Pug Passed Away Today

Today is a very sad day. Stephanie our Pug is with her sister DJ now in heaven (Stephy and DJ were sisters from the same litter and I bought them as pets in 1996. DJ passed away 5 years ago). We will miss Stephy so much. She has been our loyal friend and our baby for 13 years. We will always remember her.

The other night she came in from outside and she stumbled and laid down on the carpet. She was breathing hard. I think she may have had a heart attack. Over the next day she seemed ok, she ate some of her food and rested. Last night she was breathing hard again. She laid down on the bed with me with her head on my leg. Her breathing calmed down a bit. When I woke up it was quiet and I found her in the bathroom.

This morning I took her to the Humane Society. Eileen and I decided we would not do a formal burial in a Pet Cemetery like we did with DJ, but we know that Stephy knows we love her the same. She gave us so much joy and memories and we will never forget.

Sturgeon At Last!

After many trips on the water in search of Sturgeon, the hard work finally paid off. Mark and Dad lost their Sturgeon Virginity. Check out Mark's post on FishSniffer for the details. Congrats Mark and Dad!



I have a few songs for this post...

"At Last... my Sturgeon has come along..."




"Finally... it's happened to me... a Sturgeon's right in front my face and I just can't hide it..."




"Like a Sturgeon... caught for the very first time... "
