Had more than a bit of a scare last night

[PaulMys]

Took me a minute

Sorry.

I'm a D!ck. Ask anyone........

I have a aniexty disorder. Diet, exercise and lots of water help me. Caffeine and sugar I try and stay away from

So do I, as well as depression. PLUS I lost my dad one year ago today. This time of year has always bummed me out with winter shutting so many things down. The holidays are just the icing on the "Bummer" cake.

That is not the attitude your dad would want you to have. My dad was a BIG Christmas guy so holidays get me a little down too.

Sounds like your kids got a good dad like you had.

Update on Ruby.

Ruby is doing AWESOME. She has been on "Hospital Food" since Monday morning (food bought from the hospital that's supposed to be gentle on her stomach, so it can recover from Sunday night's episode of power puking). She starts back on her regular food tomorrow.

Otherwise, she is acting like nothing ever happened and is behaving completely like her normal self

Sunday night, while my wife was on the phone with the vet, my son was petting and talking to Ruby, trying to reassure her that everything was going to be OK. But his voice was breaking as he tried to talk, and THAT BROKE MY HEART!.

When it comes to communicating with people, I am a big writer ... I can express myself much clearer and be better understood than by talking. And I want to write my son a short letter about Ruby and how his mother and I view her. My wife is BEYOND EXTREMELY protective of our kids and has to approve anything I say to them. And I wanted to run what I intend to say by you guys, first. The letter will go something like this:

Son,

I wanted you to know just how very happy your mother and I are that Ruby is OK. And I want to tell you how we feel about Ruby, don't get nervous, because it is a good thing.

Ruby is much more than just a dog to us. We know that she is your best friend and that you care for her very much. We feel that in addition to being your best friend, Ruby is a part of our family, just as much as me and your mother and you and your brother.

As a member of our family, your mother and I will always do whatever is in our power to make sure that Ruby is healthy, happy and well-cared for. Because of how important she is to you, she is equally important to us.

Love you,
Dad

So what do you think?
