There is one thing I have learned about loss Skipper. There is an old saying "There is no right or wrong way to heal." Do whatever you need to do to bring yourself comfort. Everybody understands loss but there is nobody who completely understands what each individual is going through. This will not be an easy week or even month for you. At the moment it seems like there is no way you will ever get better. Go ahead and feel sorry for yourself and believe that you will never get better. That's completely normal. But a day will come when you will think more about who Ruby was than what her fate was. You will get better. We love you cousin.

Happy 74th Birthday Hughie. Enjoyed meeting you on the weekend.

How long will I cry at bedtime because my Ruby dog is gone? She was only put down yesterday. It was my first night sleeping alone crying. But I found a way to keep her with me. It might sound stupid to some people. Her leash not the one she went outside for potty on, but her bedtime one that made her stay with me all these 14 1/2 years of her life from jumping down to pee or poop in the house at night time, I held it last night. I only meant to hold the metal part of it the chain link part, and the whole thing came untied off the bed post. So I held onto the pink cloth part, stretching the metal out beside me as if she was still there. It takes up the same length that she did from where her head and tail would have been, or tail to head when she was facing me backwards butt first. When I rolled onto my back and left side, I left the whole leash stretched out beside and behind me. Until I fell asleep, I would sometimes rub the metal and then pat it just like how I rubbed and patted her.

Thanks again Cousin Roger (Uncle Jesse).

I'm just watching S3E01 of 'The Fall Guy', and it reunites Lee Majors with his bionic co-star Lindsay Wagner. While it's mentioned above and in another thread that Jimmie Best taught Lindsay Wagner, her imdb trivia page says that before acting she was a regular babysitter for his children, and it was as a result of this that Jimmie recommended she tried acting classes.

you got that right! Let's see, Six Million Dollar Man, Batman and Robin ( not the cartoon but the one with Adam West and Burt Ward), Kung Fu......

Growing up at my grandparents we watched shows like Dukes, The Golden Girls, Three’s Company, All in The Family, Mash, & Smokey and The Bandit ( not a show but love it just as much as Dukes ) too many to name so many classics. But nothing will ever compare to Dukes.
