    Snoopy has aggressive cancer, and the only question for us now is whether we can salvage a comfortable day or two to say goodbye.
    Ugh! I’m so sorry! Prayers as you make think it all through.

    Farther up, and farther in, Snoopy!
    What looked funniest was the Dogs. During the gallop they had not been at all out of breath, but now, as they swarmed and wriggled upwards, there was plenty of spluttering and sneezing among them; that was because they would keep on barking, and every time they barked they got their mouths and noses full of water.

    Prayers welcome for my current situation, as I’ve just discovered I miscalculated my finances at the start of the current semester, and have far less than I thought… 😱

    Appalled to read this, such heartbreaking news. Prayers for all affected.

    @Lamb Chopped, so sorry to hear about Snoopy.

    For all in need of prayer.

    Reading and praying through the thread.
    For A, and all who knew her, and especially her family, born-into and chosen.
    For LC and her family. The Lord shall save both man and beast.
  • RockyRogerRockyRoger Shipmate
    Prayers for all here, especially the soul of A, ChastMastr and the LC family at this time. Lord have mercy. Had a 28 min phone call with my daughter the other day. We are still distant, but (hopefully) moving towards understanding each other's needs just a little bit more. PTL.
    Pray for all suffering depression at this time - and this includes me. Not easy for Mrs RR.

    Please pray for the Soul of C S, a model flyingcolleague. C and I go back a long way and we had a lot of fun together. It's the passing of a generation, I'm afraid - we are dropping one by one.

    Dogwood, not rowan/dogberry. I don’t know if it’s the reason for the Lamb family’s choice, but the flowering dogwood is the state tree of Missouri, where she lives. (It’s also the state flower of North Carolina, where I live.)

    There is also a legend about how it’s the tree from which the cross was made.


  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Here in the UK this is what we know as dogwood.

    I'm sorry for you and your family's loss @Lamb Chopped ; your plans for Snoopy's grave sound lovely.

    For @RockyRoger 's C and all who loved him; and for RR and Mrs RR.

    Ours is the kind Nick referenced, which is native here, and which is one of the two trees (the redbud tree, cercis canadensis is the other one) I have always wanted to have. We have the white flowering variety of dogwood, though. As we've lost our third cherry tree in a row, I thought to replace it (giving up on that fruit!) with a dogwood in Snoopy's honor--though I couldn't plant it right at her grave, as my husband, for some unknown reason, decided directly under the grape arbor would be a good spot--and trees don't do so well under arbors :wink: . The lambs' ears are fuzzy, like Snoopy's ears, and also low enough to make it possible to string a hammock over them in the summer--which was the other intended use of the grape arbor. They are this kind: https://www.gardenia.net/plant/stachys-byzantina-lambs-ears

    Meanwhile, Mr. Lamb, though exhausted, insists on cutting down the dead cherry tree RIGHT NOW using a small reciprocating saw. God only knows how long it will take him (he'd probably use his teeth if he hadn't found that saw) but at least he didn't find the chainsaw, glory be. I'm going to take a nap in the pleasant assurance that he is likely to retain all his fingers and toes.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    So sorry, LC - RIP Snoopy. 😢🌈
  • Those lamb's ears are beautiful @Lamb Chopped and I hope will comforting when you stroke them. Prayers for you all as you grieve Snoopy.

    Prayers too for RR CM CS and A. Also thinking of Telepath always so faithful here.

    Prayers welcome. Rough night. Long story. I’m dealing with all those good old feelings of being an unwanted freakish outsider that nobody likes. It will pass.

    Just a thought: From time to time I have fears similar to ChastMastr and no doubt others here. The morning prayer for myself and others that helps me a lot can be found at:

    Thank you all. Slowly recovering...

    My brother T is not doing well. I don't think it's going to be long. At least he doesn't seem to be in any pain,

    And now our old friend J I need a heart procedure tomorrow. He had what should have been an easy operation last week, and instead ended up with a hole in his heart which won't stop bleeding, so now they have to insert a tube for some reason. Please pray. This is too much all at once.

    It's hard to lose a beloved pet. I'm sorry for your loss, LC. This is a beautiful plan - I think you'll enjoy those fuzzy lambs' ears.

    Prayers ascending for @NicoleMR as well - that is a lot to happen at once.
