Hey everyone, we had a freak snowstorm for Halloween (haven't had any snow since) that wiped out power forever. It was crazy. Had a great Thanksgiving; hope everyone else did too. Then, I had to rush my little black four-legged baby to the emergency clinic. I almost had a nervous breakdown. He had a blockage and couldn't pee. He's doing better now. I caught it right away, or it could've been fatal, so I'm happy now to know he's okay and coming home by Wednesday. He's my bud. He stayed by me every minute of every day when I was sick and recovering from surgery. So, I had to spend a lot of money, but it was definitely worth it. We're not ready to part, plus he's still young and really funny. But I learned a lesson. Went to the bar with my sister, took some shots, had a good glow, went home, passed out, woke up in the middle of the night with no bag, like completely gone, but thankfully only a tiny mess on my shirt. So, I put a new one on and went to bed. When I woke up, I decided to look for the missing bag... found it neatly folded up under my bed. WTF? Too funny. No liquor for me.
Lol, I must confess I had a big night (make it a few) and I use a drainable. OMG, I woke up the next morning, guess what? I forgot to close the end of my pouch. Mess? Hell yes, I had liquids from ileo all over me. You know how hard that was to struggle, getting up, running to the shower? I was still, let's call it, drunk as a skunk and exhausted, but once I had my friend Janine, luckily, see, I hadn't even done up my fly. Bag hanging all over, poor girl had to fix me up...lol. That was about 7 years ago. Oops, shhhhhhh xxx. Love you, doggy story, they are brilliant. I know a man who was having chemo at the same time as his pooch...and his money hid love for his poochy, not a waste at all, Darlzy xx.

OMG, I meant "man" and "liquid," lol. And was his money. Sadly, his beautiful dog passed. He now adopts greyhounds. My spelling isn't getting better. Hope I made it a little clearer. xxx moozeeeeeeeee
