Hi everyone,
Today started out very badly. We had to have Chloe put down :crying: :crying: :crying: She lived through easy child's graduation (we took her with us) and enjoyed having all four of us "home" just for her for three more weeks. She was alert but could no longer stand (she's been rocky for about 6 months--good pain control with Rx medications, though) It is very sad as all of you with beloved pets know. She was the best dog I ever had and I've always had at least one dog since I was a kid except for two years in college.
I don't know if I mentioned this earlier but the second round of ex-difficult child's competition was today. He came home from Korea late on Monday incredibly tired and jet-lagged. He slept for 36 hours straight and then practiced for a total of about 4 hours. I kept telling him that there would be other competitions and Korea was more important.
MrNo called about two hours ago: HE WON! :bravo:
This is unbelievable that he could pull this one out. He is giving a concert tomorrow but I can't be there :nonono: . I did not want to put undue pressure on him by making reservations when I did not at all expect him to win. I am actually floored....I mean--no false modesty, he is very gifted and cool under performance pressure but he so stacked the deck against himself, there seemed to be no way he could win, but he did.
I am very, very happy for him. I just wanted to let the "old-timers" know how MrNo is doing.
