Happy Birthday Kelly!!

Trust me Mom, I used a zoom lens. I did not get close. Did you watch the video on how aggressive they are? Nasty, nasty, nasty.

Happy Birthday Kelly

Nancy said...

Mary, you are gross! Don't ever send me to a nasty link like that again! I had to shut it off, I can't watch that cruelty. Those freaking kids murdered that poor little grasshopper, I hate them.

Happy Birthday Kelly, hope it's nice.

I am too sad to call anyone, so I'm gonna just tell you all here. BJ died today. It was really horrible. He was swimming, and we think maybe his heart gave out. Pete had to jump in and get him. Oh, it was really terrible. ok, don't call or anything, I have a bad headache and am going to bed early.

Barbara said...

Nancy,
I am so sorry to hear that. It must have been awful.

Mary Lesh said...

Oh, I am so sorry to hear about BJ. That is soooo sad.

Bridget said...

OMG, I can't believe it!! So sorry to hear about BJ. That is terrible. At least he lived his life in a truely loving home. How is Buffet?? OMG let me know.

kelly-hope you had a wonderful birthday
to mr spider- you are hideous and i would step on you in a heartbeat
nancy-i am so so so sorry about the dog. i can honestly tell you that i know how it feels...they become part of the family. if you need anything (even from over seas) you let me know.

Nancy said...

buffet's not acting different, except at dinnertime. normally he would eat like a maniac, now he just looks at us, then eats slowly. if he acted like mary's dog did, i would lose it. well, after a tough morning, the day got better. breidget, i made those meatballs, but they didn't taste as good as pete's and mikes. i followed the recipe to a tee, I hate when that happens.

Kathy said...

Nancy, We are all so sad to hear about BJ. We know he was deeply loved and will be missed. But what a lucky dog to have lived with your family. I'm sure he felt the love and is at peace because of you.

thanks everyone, feeling better today.
