Right now, I have a request...my son is collecting letters from Frigo brand String Cheese to try to win a Nintendo DS and four Mario games. He has to spell "Nintendo DS Lite" Each string cheese has a different letter on the wrapper. He has collected all the letters except for the "S". I have bought package upon package of string cheese and no "S". I'm not suprised, but he is getting frustrated. If anyone out there happens to come across an "S", I would be forever indebted to you! Just PM me and let me know. Thanks!

RN Jewels, isn't that the way Coke and other brands keep you buying their product, by not releasing a quantity of that one piece of the puzzle? I wish you good luck. I don't buy the string cheese, but will ask my buddies for you.

Right now I am beside myself. In a couple of hours I have to take a dog that my mom has had since I was 12 to be put down. He has been really sick for a while and now we feel he is suffering. It's hard, but it's time.

RN: he's been a good dog for a good long time. he's 14. He is a very smart and affectionate dog, which I think makes it so much harder. He has been with my mom through thick and thin, and she's the one I am most worried about.

RN, I honestly don't know what to say that will be of much comfort. You and your Mom know that you are doing the right thing for him, but it is so hard. Just try to remember all the good years and know that he won't be afraid with you there with him. It's much harder for you than it is for him (it must be great to be a dog and to be loved).

RN: Thank you all. It's losing a family member. He's been a fixture, you know? Just always there.

We'd play this game called "king of the covers", where I'd lift the blankets on the bed up over my head and make a wall in front of me and he'd bark and try to jump over the "wall".

He was always taking my mom's keys in his mouth and running off with them. If Scout got the key's, you could plan on not leaving for a while. He'd lay down with them between his front paws and bark this high pitch bark. He'd do the same with any ball he could get a hold of that you might be playing with.

He was sensitive too, if you were upset, he was upset, if you were happy, he was happy. He'd get so excited. Mom taught him to roll over with oreo cookies when he was little. After that if he saw you eating something, he'd stand next to you in the kitchen and roll over and over and over until you gave him some. When he was six months old, we almost lost him to parvo, but he pulled through.

Then he started with arthritis and then he went deaf, but he was still the same old Scouty, just not as active or responsive.

For the last couple of weeks to a month he's really declined in health and now I know that his time here is ending...

14 is older for a black lab too.

RN, this is me sending Escapee (and mom) a big hug! That's the hardest part... outliving one of our family members who've been there, unconditionally loving us, for their entire lives.

Sounds like Scout was a wonderful companion, with a great sense of play and humor! And it sounds like you've got some great memories so Scout will continue to live on in your hearts.

(And yeah, I grew up with black labs. 14 is quite a feat! Scout was a spoiled one, yes? :-))

RN, so sorry, Escapee, it is never easy to make that decision, even when it is clear that it is the only one to make and you know you are sparing a good friend undeserved pain, still.so.hard.

I've been there three times with wonderful black lab girls and felt very fortunate that they made it to 14, 14,5 and 15.5. 14 is a very good age for a lab.

RN, speaking as someone who was identified by her voice not too long ago, I probably shouldn't say anything about how people speak. Let me tell you, when you're 1000+ miles from home and a stranger comes up behind you, taps you on the shoulder and asks "are you Freda," it's a very strange feeling.

The thing is, when ya gotta Texan twang, you're easily identified!!!! Those of us WITHOUT accents, who think we're so special, would never have been noticed in a crowd! (Although, if Escapee had paid attention to any of the pix posted about me, she may have noticed my hair. Ain't a whole lotta heads like THIS one, fer sure!)

Anyways...

RN I'm cracking up at Ellen. I missed the beginning of the show but apparently she hurt herself and so she's doing the show in a giant hospital bed on set. And she's got the giggles with some good drugs.

Oh yeah... there's "a-boot" and "pro-cess", eh?
