Fr 10/11/24- Buddy Is Gone

11am (2-LB). 1250pm (2-LB). 540pm (2-LB).815pm (2-LB).  

***Filled out ballot for presidential election and will drop off at the county building after the vet. I dropped the ballot off at the box on 9th and I got an email at 11am that the ballot had been accepted. Wow!

Up 620am; Bright & sunny with temps to low 80's.  

740am to Brewer & waiting for doctor to show at 8am. When Dr. Kirk arrived just about 810am he said that they could give Buddy fluids intravenously, but that there was no coming back from his dire situation. His kidneys had almost completely shut down and he only weighed four pounds. They put me in an examination room with Buddy until 9am. Dr. Kirk said that they would send me the bill in the mail. Buddy will be cremated at Stabb and I didn't wish to claim the ashes.  

I drove downtown and dropped off my presidential ballot and then on to County Market at Fairhills for raisins and a 30 pk of Natural Light. 

When I got home I washed Buddy's 'crunchies' & water bowl and 'bent blue plate' and put them downstairs. Now my bedroom door is open. 

***I sent Janny an email to tell her of Buddy's passing*** 

My email to Janny:

"I just got back from the vet and I'm afraid that Buddy is gone.

I brought him to the vet at 730am this morning and after doing some bloodwork Dr. Kirk said that his kidneys were almost completely shut down.  He only weighed a little over four pounds and that was only half of his normal weight. They could give him fluids that would keep him alive for a bit longer, but there was really no coming back from this most dire situation.

They gave me an examination room and I was with him alone for about twenty minutes.  I had the option of being present when they actually put him down, but I didn't want to have that memory of him. He will be cremated by Stabb and I didn't wish to claim the ashes.

I'm so glad you stopped in yesterday because that was your last chance to see him. You were one of his special friends.

Dr. Kirk was very understanding and I know that I had Buddy with me for a lot longer due to their care.  

Sorry for the bad news, but Buddy had a long and happy life and I'll never regret any of the time that I had with him.

seeya...kw"

Her reply:

"Oh, Ken, I am so very thankful that I got to see him yesterday! Buddy will always be a favorite friend of mine too. You handled this well and made the right choice. I'm so sorry for your pain. You had the greatest little companion for much longer than you might have had. We will be here if you need us. Enjoy a delicious apple. Much love, of course!"

***Did the Windows Update and it didn't take nearly as long as the downstairs PC. 

Watched 'IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE' (Netflix). Hipsters have an 'Electronic Seance'. Old friends get together and their old pal shows up with a machine that allows them to experience life in someone else's body. I shut it down with about 40 minutes left to go and if I never finish there will be no loss. 

1pm: To Esporta...45"Precor, 45"Treadmill,  30"Cross,  30"Recumbent Bike,  30"Precor;  watched the documentary 'THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS' (Netflix)- People now believe the brothers' claim of sexual abuse and they might get re-sentenced. They have already been imprisoned for 34 years. Not as good as the movie; finished 'IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE' (Netflix)- Nice idea, but it didn't work for me; more BRIAN REGAN on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK'.

Reading 'GONE TO SOLDIERS'

***Taco Bell Doordash was left on my front porch. It looked like squirrels got to it. First time that's happened and I wonder who paid to feed the rodents. 

545pm: In the tub with 'GONE TO SOLDIERS' and listening to SONNY STITT- 'Sonny's Blues'; UFO Playlist; HUMBLE PIE- 'Rarities'.

More BRIAN REGAN on 'WE MUST BE DRUNK'.

More 'THE ACCIDENT' (Netflix). I shut it down 28 minutes into episode #7.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
