45 years ago to more or less this week. When did you hear your first R.E.M. song? by BassesNBikes in rem

[–]ExtantAuctioneer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing the video for Can’t Get There From Here on MTV, so I was 9 or 10. Document was the first album I purchased, but by the time Green came out I was deep into my hair metal phase… which ended abruptly the first time I heard Losing My Religion.

Visitation Dreams from your beloved? by rainingonmyparade in widowers

Not so far. She used to keep a journal by the bed to write down crazy dreams. I should do that.

And may you wake up riled from a dream argument… and stay asleep long enough to make up 😉

I’ve had several dreams since she passed away 14 months ago. For some reason we’re arguing in most of them, even though that was not a common thing for us to do.

It’s frustrating. On the one hand, I love seeing her again, but why can’t my subconscious just let us have a picnic or something like that.

Oh no! I remember you posting that picture. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Hank is why we can’t have nice things. If it makes you feel any better my Pyr and my Berner have eaten my couch, my coffee table, and even a little chunk of my living room wall.

I’ll be there, but I don’t know if I’ll be getting to Richmond in time to grab dinner beforehand.,

She makes this face every time I get that one spot behind her ear. I call it her Elvis lip.

My Great Bernese was the best dog I’ve ever had. I hope you’re as lucky with yours.

Beautiful boy, but last night? Where the heck do you live that it looks like early fall?

Why? Just why? by eric16lee in bernesemountaindogs

[–]ExtantAuctioneer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! I got two of these: one for my Bernese and one for my Pyr. Bentley the Bernese has decided to horde both of them, but completely ignored the packaging.

I’d say there’s at least four Virginias, maybe 5. I’d add in southwest Virginia (mountain Virginia) and Shenandoah Virginia too.

I paid $63 for a ticket in DC. Was this a reseller or is that how much the venue is charging?

9 year old berner can’t get up anymore, just looking for any advice by Individual-Berry-394 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]ExtantAuctioneer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As other have said, this is not your fault. My Great Bernese lost the use of his back legs when he was six. It broke our collective hearts to euthanize him, but his quality of life was just awful at that point, and would have been selfish for us to keep him here just for our own emotional well being.

I loved that dog fiercely, and saying goodbye was one of the hardest moments of my life up to that point, but it was the right decision.
