I had to do that for our female Yorkie after about 17 years. She developed mouth cancer and could no longer eat. It broke our heart, as eating was the main thing that loveable little dog lived for.

After a couple of years, we now have a male rescue Yorkie to keep us company.

Donating a lot of food, treats, blankets, beds, carriers, etc., to the pet adoption center here. Can’t do pet dogs for a while… :pensive_face:

Started later than I wanted to yesterday, so I’m currently making 22 hour chili (non-Texan style).

What is 22 hour chili?

Slow cooked for 22 hours. It’s almost as good as my 24 hour chili.

Pulling your chain. :rofl:

I love pumpkin pie totally covered with Reddi-Wip Whipped Topping!

For a really good recipe, try just a quick dash of reddi-wip on top of your bowl of reddi-wipp.

I think it really makes the dish.

“One Horse Open Sleigh” was composed by James Pierpoint in 1857 as a childrens’ Thanksgiving song. It was such a hit that it was sung again at Christmas and the tradition stuck. The title was changed two years later to “Jingle Bells”.

How far we’ve come as a culture. Now the elevators play “Last Christmas” (and COVERS of “Last Christmas” :frowning: )
