My darling dog is off to the stud dog
I went today to get the swab to see if Molly is furtile and it came back that she was, so I called the owner to the stud dog. We had this all arrainged last month when I went to visit her with Molly in tow. So I just back back from leaving her there, she will stay over night or even the next night if it is nessesary. I am so excited but miss her and hope she will do well over there. I am sure the people will take care of her very good because they both love animals and her boyfriend has breed his dog and also show dogs. I know she is very capable hands. I know she is just a dog but I got her after I came back to Ireland the year my daughter died and she has been a real comfort to me. My work permit is progressing rather slowly but we are getting there. My empolyer has lost or misplaced all my work permits so she has to get copies of all of them from the department that we are trying to get a ruling on whether I can have a unlimited work permit. It is all so complicated....So I bore you with all the details. I am working day shift all next week, because the Matron is going on yet anoterh vacation. She really don't have anyone that is can admit patients and knows all the paper work involved which doctors to call and all that and willing to work day shift. The other nurses that work there are such complete idiots and if they had to actually work I think it would be in the end for them. We had several nurses that didn't even know what to do with with the feeding tube machine when the bottle got empty. I had to refresh my learning once and that was that, but you had to keep telling these nurses time and time again, they would even call the matron when it started beeping because they just didn't know how to thread the tube through the machine and turn it back on again. Now these nurses over here go to school for 4 years to become a nurse. I am beging to wonder what in the world are they teaching them....How to avoid work 101 I sure is one of the classes. LOL After I work the week day shift I am going to take off a week to kind od re ajusted so that should be fun. Don't know what are plans are might go to Dublin, Peter is really into researching his family roots and Dublin is where he can go to get some information that might connect the missing pieces. I have have been doing a little research on my family, but am stuck at the moment on my great great grandfather. The Coffey side of the family was suppose to have come from Ireland back in the 1600's, but I don't know from which Coffey clan he came from in Ireland so I have to start with the things I do know and get from my mother to start from present day and go backwards. It's fun thing to do but also very time comsuming. I just got a call from the lady that has Molly and she said she was doing fine....Well better get off here and do something . Hope all is well with everyone and keep sending the hugs I love them.....Peace and Love to all

A dog is not just a dog to us who are dog people. They are members of our family. My dog had to be put down a few months after Steven died.(he died DEC 07.) We had her since she was 8 or 9 weeks old, and she was nearly 18 years old. She was an American Pit Bull, that my youngest son,Paul brought home when he was still a young teenager. I ended up with her, because he went to another state to live with his Dad. I became very attached to her right off, James came around a litttle slower. I woud never have gone out and got a Pit Bull. I was, like so many people, mistakenly frightened of her \"breed.\"She was Black with white on her nose and 2 paws. Paul named her Sabbath, after Ozzie Ozborne\'s band, Black Sabbath. She was the sweetest most loving dog I have ever known. She was with me every day and night. She comforted me more than any human could have. I never dreamed that she would live longer than both of my sons. I believe that God let me have her so long because she was such a comfort, and company to me through all the grief plus through all my cancer stuff. Sabbath had 1 litter of pure Pit Bulls. My husband kept a female, and Steven my oldest son kept a male. We were happy tp get the others to new parents, because they are most destructive! Steven\'s had cancer and had to be put down at 11 yr. James had cancer and was put down at 13 yr. I lost both my sons, and Sabbath was such a comfort to me. She knew vry well that I needed her, and she was with me. I still miss her so much. Our 1 dog we have left is 12, and going down hill fast. He is very big, Bull Mastiff/ Pit Bull mix. He had hip displasia, and I will be lucky to have him another 6 months to a year. All of our dogs were gentle, pets. they loved all people, they loved kids. They never bit anyone not ever. We were responsible with them, just because they are such strong animals. We never let them out, except in the fenced yard, ot on the leash. We never let them alone with any of the children either. It was not an issue of trust, just responsibility! They are dogs, and cannot think and reason like a person. They can kill a cat, small dog, even a human if they are thratened or aggitated in some way. In some places they use Pit Bulls to hunt Wild Boar.Those are ferocious, dagerous animals. I love animals and chidren, and get along 3with them better than \"real adult\" people. Isn\'t that sad! I have become more and more hat way since my kids all died. I hope you have a wonderful. healthy litter, and get just the dog you want. The one you dream of or see in your mind. That will be so cool. It will help tou so much to feel a part of life again,best of luck to your dog and you. Love,Peggy
GOOD LUCK WITH MOLLY! HOPE ALL GOES WELL FOR YOU BOTH! LOVE SARAH. x
Isn\'t it strange how animals just become part of our families. Best of luck with Molly. Hope your day shifts are good. At least you\'ll be home in the evenings. Enjoy your holiday. Love and hugs Cathy
Dogs are my favorite and when you find a good one I think wanting more of the same is ok. Hoping things turn out well for Molly. Hugs, Inga
