Hah, that's awesome and a bit disturbing ;)
Ooops.. Here's that link - Whole page of video links.

Although I have many extended family members, most of my life is now shared with my two cats and my boyfriend (he does not live with me).
I just found out yesterday that my male cat has a mass inside, has internal bleeding and is very unlikely to be strong enough to survive surgery to explore it. I am just taking care of him as best I can while I wait for nature to take its course. He has been with me for about eight years and I will really miss him.
I will still have the female and do not want to go through taking in another pet. They give a lot of love, and also take a lot of time and money to properly care for them.

aarrrggggghhhhhh.!!! I swapped pages to collect a url for you - and the browser page RELOADED.. Sigh.
Anyway, my mom's vet had a single Aspirin prescribed for her old arthritic gal. It hurt just to watch her struggling to stand up. Each morning, wrapped snugly in slices American cheese - and, even the next morning, she was moving like years before.
And here's a YouTube page with a superbly successful nutritional supplement treatment for a dog in so much pain all the time that a vet was ready to put him out of his misery. I was excited because I plan to do this myself. :-)
I loved how sweet your fellow looks in his warming lounging wear. Makes me think of me. :-D
You guys are purely awesome in treating his diabetes. As if it was your very own child. Im so glad he's still has his get-around vision. With vision, he may very well tolerate a new dog if he's more than a "strange dog smell"..
Thanks for the photos. Bookmark this thread and take your camera along, you can document your adoption search. I'll enjoy the vicarious experience - and I'll probably learn more along the way.
Oh yes - do speak to your vet about adding, ob a few day's trial of Aspirin. Who knows, just one might be safe enough.
Keep us in mind!

You realize he was just an actor, right?
Of course I know he was an actor. He thought he was God's anointed slayer of the peace movement in the 60's. Actors should stick to acting. Look what happens when they get into politics: they're as interesting as politicians who try to be actors.

When I was going to school in Ohio, they had 'mandatory' assemblies in the gymnasium (7-12 grade) for prayer meetings. My sisters and I refused to attend based on the first amendment, they had threatened to suspend us for insubordination. We ended up with some burning crosses in our yard (I still don't understand that leap)...
Religious teachings (of any religion) does not belong in a public school. I agree that history of religion would be fine, because that's history, not religion.
One more thing that saved my sanity! White noise. Something that makes white noise. She didn't sleep well without it the first few months or so. My hubby is a musician and has a studio recording equipment. He recorded a few minutes of him shaking her rattle in a rhythmic pattern then looped it over and over again to make a 30+ minute CD of this. We'd play it at her bed time and without it she cried.
They have a lot of things out there that make noises like that including bears and other stuffed toys. My hubby insisted on making one, though. He was like $20-40 bucks for something I could buy or the cost of a CD to make our own. Totally fine with me ;)
My friends say I'm "hippy" but my favorite thing was a moby wrap. SAVED ME! My lil one wouldn't sleep unless in it. http://www.target.com/p/moby-wrap-original-baby-carrier-natural/-/A-11110329#prodSlot=medium_1_4&term=moby+wrap
Also with my 2nd I loved the momma roo. it's a type of swing. also a portable swing is handy, as you can move it room to room easy and take it out on playdates. http://www.amazon.com/4Moms-Mamaroo-Classic-Classic-Black/dp/B007UK1CBY
I would also suggest a pack n play instead of a crib, or at least a really good pack n play for downstairs (if they have 2 floors) for napping. and as far as pack n plays go I liked the ones that had a hard raised changing table. and I prefered it to an actual changing table. Like this one> http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Newborn-Napper-Elite-Vance/dp/B005UV0UU4/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1397609849&sr=1-2&keywords=graco+pack+n+play+newborn+napper the new born napper was a godsend...
A carrier for later on would ******go carrier, I loved my carriers. they are great for shopping, cleaning, running errands, etc.
as far as swaddling blankets I hated the halo ones as they were too hot. Find a muslin material one like http://www.target.com/p/aden-anais-for-target-zooaroo-swaddle-wraps-4pk-gender-neutral/-/A-11219328
hope this helps! The stuff is expensive, just my suggestions. Consignment stores can be godsends as well.
Single mom to 2 girls! Love them <3
