thanks for all the condolence (es) ladies. Max had gotten to the point of being very pale, skin n bones and not eating. I let that go for 2 days and couldn't bear it any more. So we took him to the vet. Brought him home and buried him under a very pretty Rose o Sharon tree. Done with my online moping. thank you all for your kind words.
No SS pkg here yet but the mail doesn't come until around 2. No biggie. The tree is not up yet. soon. The grandkids live here now and will be so excited when we get it up. yea, me too. I love decorating for the holidays. just saw the front window where they watch the squirrels and such . . . best go get the window cleaner. lol. have a great day everyone.
