Im so sorry to hear about your tumor being inoperable...my thoughts are with you. As far as your dog not eating, it could be a number of possibilities. Is he getting food elsewhere? Is it possible he is reacting to your condition and not just the loss of his buddies? It could be the loss of his buddies...It could be the food you got turned bad... Most of my dogs have not been food oriented which means getting a big bag of rice, some hamburger and chicken from costco and some canned dog food from Trader Joes. I also bought Natural Balance duck and potato meat sticks which is a huge hit with every dog I know. My dog taught my friends dogs to not eat it until it was completely dried out - like jerky - weird....Good luck with your pup, if the vet says it is not physical then maybe a trip to the dog park or even just fostering a dog for a hort time might help....Good luck in whatever you do. My best to you and yours.

67 here, 20% chance of rain. Yes, we had hard rain last night too and I wasn't sure I'd be able to mow this afternoon but I did. Grass wasn't too bad, I've been keeping it cut short so it had dried out fairly well. Suddenly the spinach and lettuce in the garden have all sprouted at once it seems. Because I planted late I thought for sure it would take longer but just that bit of sun the last couple of days helped alot. Will be leaving in a few minutes for downtown to shop for a few groceries. Cats were sure glad it's payday today, they were out of dry food as of yesterday. Both were waiting on the porch when I got home with it. The pet health store where I shop gave me a free bag of kitty litter because of some promotion. My older cat of 14yr., who's never used a litter box in his life (outside/inside guy), has developed incontinent issues during nights he's in the house; so we're working on using the box. pattie43 you're busy today! Ugh, did that not too long ago and glad it's over. I need to schedule a bone density test one of these days too.

Good mornin' Sue. It's a sunny pretty morning here. I did a load of laundry and have it folded but for now it's on the dining room table until I go back to the bedroom to put it up. Not doing anymore laundry until tomorrow morning when maybe I'll get an earlier start. Garage gets too hot. Need to call and get an appointment for a haircut. It's finally grown out enough to cut. She really whacked it off when I got it cut March 17. (4 months!) Should've gone last week but she was on vacation in Indiana visiting her mother. I wanted to make banana-zucchini bread but we have to finish the stuff I made last week first and the Tres Leches cake I got from Publix. Very good but so sweet, even for me. Your dinner sounds wonderful--have fun! I wondered about the 2-crust pineapple pie. Mother used to make them but it was like a cream pie with meringue. Enjoy your day, everyone!

Did Laundry all day yesterday but still have to wash couch covers on the furniture in the sun room. Vacuumed and steam cleaned the main areas of the house last night too. Still have to do the sun room and bedrooms, though. I'm on my way out the door to drop off Netflix movies at the post office, pick up paperwork for our exchange students to get them enrolled and for sports activities for one, get Lauren's last report card (was going to print it off the school's website but they've taken that info down and now have this coming school semester up already), find out about AP exam money she is supposed to get back for passing it, and a few other questions. Then I have to pick up a few things from the grocery store. I'm making curry tonight so the kids can eat it over the next couple days while I'm working and I have it to take to work for lunch too. Then I'm going to try and relax some. I've had four days off in a row, which is unusual and this is the last one.
