I was lucky to have him.  He never gave up.  Everyone, including his vet, always commented on what a happy dog he was.  He never let his physical issues get him down.  I remember that trip to the beach.  He was so excited that he pulled the leash out of my hand and took off down the hill straight to the water lol.  I had to run after him.  He was one of a kind.

I'm so sorry, HorrorRetro.  I have a little guy now that I call my heart dog; the best dog I've ever had in every respect.  Sometimes when I try to think about the reality that he will no longer be here, it's almost unimaginable.

Yes, you were lucky to have him, and he you.

I remember that, but this is the first time I've seen a picture of your little guy. My friend and I were talking today about our pets and how even when some of them are gone, they still remain with us in all our happy memories. You were so lucky to have each other. I have a husky who looks and may be a whole lotta wolf. She's untrainable but delightful in every way, except when she chews on my lipsticks or shreds paper towels all over the floor. And raccoons - hates 'em, but you could break in here and unless you're dressed like a raccoon, she'll wag her tail.

I'm just now at the point where I can look at his photos again.  He was such a little ham.  When he saw me with my camera, he would always try to get into the shot.  All my dogs are great, but he and I had a special relationship. I know it sounds funny, but if someone said something stupid, Elvis and I would look at each other like, "Oh, brother, that was stupid!"  ;D  He was such a dynamic little personality in a little body.  He chased a Rhodesian ridgeback out of his own house one time.  He never knew how tiny he was.

He'll, ain't nobody messed with Elvis - he's fierce!

Also a cutie.

I remember that.  It doesn't seem like a whole year has gone by yet.  Wow.
I'm starting with my little girl.  she's 16 and starting to go downhill pretty quickly.  Going blind, deaf, dragging a rear leg.
So now I cook her meals and come home from work in the middle of the day to take her out(I carry her out, she can't go down steps anymore).  She's still got a lot a pep, believe it or not.
I know she'll let me know when it's time...

I'm sorry.  It's so hard when they start declining.  And, yes, you will know when.  I never really believed that until I got to that point with Elvis.  Hang in there.

i'm plowing through ken burns' ww2 documentary, the war

jeeze. 

just listening to the stories of these guys, what they went through and lived to recall, makes me feel very insignificant as a man.  nothing in my 33 years compares even remotely to what they experienced on a daily basis at the age of 17 or 18.  most of it is impossible for me to imagine.  they lived it.  these guys were MEN.

When I was a kid, I thought about joining the service. My dad, a W.W. II Pacific vet, said he fought the war so I'd never be in the army. I remain to this day a lily-livered civilian.

perhaps that is why they did it... but i think largely they were just young men who were thrown into a tornado of violence and misery and despair, and it was all they could do just to keep themselves alive.  their introspection over "why" probably didn't begin for most of them until the war ended.

I worked for my father for several years .There was a lot of travel in those days. Staying in motels and such. Many nights I would be awakened by dad flying bombing missions over Japan in his sleep. Dad was an A/C on a B-29, Flew 40 missions. He was out of it before Hiroshima. He never talked about the war. Last year I visited him. I had been trying to recover his combat records and we were talking about the efforts and he related a few stories. He had had some harrowing escapes from fate. Once he had an engine blow out on take off and managed to dump his load in the sea and recover enough to land at another field. He had lost 4 engines in 40 missions,3 returning from missions. Another time he had held his .45 on his bombardier to get him to return to his post for a bomb run. I do not remember too many nights of the 30 or so that he did not fly missions in his sleep. The first time I saw and heard this I thought he had malaria as he was perspiring so he was wringing wet in an air conditioned room.
Yes a lot of those WWII guys 'sucked-it-up' and held it in all their lives. Dad was in the first group to go in and use Saipan as a base to bomb Japan. He was on the fire raids. When they went in to Saipan there were still Japanese attacks at night and pilots and crewmen were having their throats cut at night. Dad was 22-24 years old then. Actually he was 24 when he returned to the states before reassignment but the war was over by his 24th birthday. He was to go back as a Lt.Colonel but they never ordered him after Nagasaki.

is he still alive?  you should try to make an audio recording of his experiences if he's willing to do it.  i did something similar with my grandmother.  she always teared up when talking about the war, and refused to watch movies like saving private ryan, etc..  it was just too painful for her and something she didn't want to recall.  she wasn't even overseas in combat, and the experience/era affected her that much.

I have been reading all the books I can get my hands on about WWI since its 100 year aniversary if the start of it and I have the same thoughts.  Try reading about the battle for Belleau Woods or any accounts of day to day life in the trenches.

       It's clearly not the ghost of Liberace.
