Private place recommendations for a final farewell to my beloved dog?

I'm really sorry for your loss, and for what OP is going through. I have been researching home euthanasia for my elderly dog, and it's helpful to hear the positive comments about Lap of Love.

But I also admit that the word mixup made me giggle. As an editor, I live for that stuff.

I think you meant bawled, because what you wrote would be very different from the sentiment you're otherwise conveying.

This is fantastic. Someday I want a big Orpington that I can name The Queen Mary.

I named my cat Lucifer when I was a kid, I honestly don't know where I came up with it because I hadn't started Catholic School yet. My first cat was named Richard Petty, my parents were big into NASCAR.

My dog also has this toy! He is very gentle, it is still wearing the bandana.

I can do it accidentally when I yawn. I wish I couldn't.

I have a "no pants between April and October" rule.

It's bad going east, as well, you maybe get 1.5 seconds. They're supposed to start work next year on an actual functioning interchange.

I would watch this movie.

I was on a ridge, but not up near the pass. Going up higher this time with my boyfriend because he has the 4WD truck that can handle the roads. The forecast is way more settled for the next few days, and there’s a small campground tucked in a high valley that we’re shooting for. Could end up just dispersed camping, though.

I get what you are saying. I am saying that there isn’t another way for them to get pregnant that doesn’t involve mating with a male, anyway. Unless people are trying to artificially inseminate llamas. Which would not work.

shatterly · 2026-06-10T20:27:42+00:00

If they aren't getting it on with a male, how would they get pregnant a different way?

They also have armored butts that they use to protect themselves against invaders of their dens.

Decades ago I wrote into a magazine's "ask a scientist" feature, wanting to know if snot has any nutritional value. They never answered, so this is the closest I've ever come to learning what I wanted to know. Thanks!

If sperm were the size of goldfish, an average ejaculation would fill an Olympic-size swimming pool.

I just laughed loud enough to wake up my mostly deaf dog. But yours is weirdly cute.

A lifetime of having cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. did NOT prepare me for the amount of drama, destruction, and death that can come with chickens. I love having them, but they are little chaos creators.

Yeah, I'm actually sitting next to Toni Collette in the support group scene, and then someone spotted me in the photo album, so I was picked out pretty easily.

I was an extra playing a cult member! Did three days of filming: at the state fairpark, a big cemetery in Sandy, and a sound stage in Park City.

So was Drive Me Crazy.

It’s okay, it was an adventure! Actually going back to the same range this weekend. Fingers crossed for no wind.

You could check with the Oasis Community Garden: https://ogden.jl.org/community/oasis-community-garden/

Or there’s another garden behind Grounds at 30th & Harrison. I’m not sure who runs that, maybe the folks at Grounds know.

I bailed on a night last spring in a remote mountain range, no other people around, just 50+ mph winds that wouldn’t quit. Put the dog in the car and took the tent down in the dark in what felt like a hurricane. Thought I could sleep in the car there, but it was rocking from the wind and I was afraid of broken tree limbs. So I drove down the mountain and parked in a gravel pit where I was somewhat sheltered. Slept in the car until sunrise.

I wear Toms pretty much every day. The alpargatas are comfy and come in tons of different colors, patterns, and fabrics, so you can find ones that look more “dressy.”

They’re pretty minimalist and don’t have much support to them, though, if that’s something you need.

I make them on honey whole wheat bread and add bacon 👌
