Just got back from the crematorium. The owner offered a tour. We spent over 45 minutes there and it was really interesting. He explained a lot of the behind the scenes things and how he got into the business. The kids and I asked several questions and he answered everything.
Picked up the oldest son (15 year old stepson). He didn't want to go back for the tour. He is a drama queen. Even his mom says so.
It's going to be a long weekend.

If Jackson makes it through this day, it will be a miracle.
I am still heart-broken about it, not just because of losing him, but the fact it was my sisters dog.
One of my first thoughts was why would people get another dog after that. I could never go through that pain again. But some people do it, over and over again.
He did bring us a lot of happiness and joy in the last 13 years, but the heartache is way too much for me to ever handle ever again. I liked him more then some humans I knew..

At least I'm an adult, I can't imagine how kids handle it.
source please
If you eat dog on the other hand..
It's a cultural thing though, my fiance's parents are from Greece and feel the same way about pets. I can understand people not feeling that way about them, and thats cool with me. But omg, his parents pissed me off with the way they said it though. It's one thing to feel different, It's another to laugh at someone right after they had to put their pet to sleep. Don't even get me started on that..
I mean I can't stand cats, but I wouldn't laugh or disrespect someone who just lost their cat. It's just shitty. People have feelings regardless of how you feel about it, KWIM.
And I don't mean you as in you...just general people. I'm still bitter at the in-laws.
As far as the adult thing, it's on my license....other then that I have no proof..
They told my boss that he scored everyone too high last year, so this year he needs to score everyone lower. WTF? cheap ass farkers.

and for me to be a little oblivious to pet-love... it's nothing to do with my culture and more to do with me personally. My dad loves animals. So do my sisters. My dad grew up on a farm in Korea and he learned to love and respect animals. My sisters are just girls... I'd have more fun shooting things at animals

We also had a bronze paw done. They take a cast of his paw and create a replica in epoxy or something and then bronze it.
I did find the whole place interesting, and I think it helped the 2 younger kids to see 'the process'. DS9 asked him about other animals he's done and he was happy to talk to him about it. He said he'd cremated birds, lizards, a squirrel, even a goldfish (please no jokes). He said some folks prearrange things and he has a 14' python prearranged. That will be his first snake. He talked about making a cast for a turtle (DS9 is really big in turtles and iguanas).

Our vet made us a paw print and mailed it to me, I had no clue they were going to do that. It was something I'll never forget. I plan on doing something like that bronzing thing you mentioned, so I can put one down the cemetery on my sis's stone.
It's now Friday and the sore throat is completely gone, but the fever has been at 104 since Monday.
Even with Motrin/Tylenol, the fever goes down for about an hour then right back up.
Now he's congested (very badly), sleeping almost all day and night and has eaten maybe 5 bites of food since Monday. He is drinking water/juice without any problems and he's no longer throwing up (though I'm not sure if this is because he has literally no food in his system or if he's just over that part of this).
I'm worried that his fever shouldn't be so high for so long when he shouldn't be fighting anything else off after taking Amoxicillin. Are the symptoms above normal for a cold? If not, what? The reason I didn't take him in before this is because I wanted to give the meds a chance to work. It's been enough time, imo.
Yes, I'm following lounge protocol by asking you guys before going to the ER. I'd like to wait until Monday to go to the doctor, but these symptoms are worrying me. Any advice?
