there is this book…

and I can’t get it out of my head because I can’t find it or remember details like who wrote it and/or what it’s called. I read it a while ago. I did not buy it from amazon.com (already searched last 2yrs history)

romantic comedy. The woman goes to some country resort (?) ends up falling for guy who spends day fishing but also owns the place.

Ok. so not exactly heavy reading, but I own this book, it’s not on my shelf where it is supposed to be (giggle and snort) and I want to re-read it. NOW. Problem? I don’t know who wrote it or what it’s called so it’s not like I can even check it out from the library since mine is MIA.

If you can help, awesome.

if you can’t, do you have a good summer reading recommendation?

thanks.

yes, I realize I’m crazy and obsessed. That’s how I roll.

thank you all.

thank you for the kind words and support. really it means the world to me.

I just want to say that if you ever find yourself in a situation where you have to put your pet to sleep you really must be there for it. I know it’s hard and sad, but think about your beloved pet. Think about them leaving this world, and how much more comforting it would be for them to have you hold their head, saying nice things, petting them. Much nicer than some stranger that they don’t know.

We all went, said bye to Jake and gave him love. He was so incredibly happy to see us, and it was good. Then I remained in the room with him and the Dr. for his goodbye. As hard as it was, (and I’ve had to do it before) I know in my heart that if I hadn’t gone down to be there, if I hadn’t done it I would regret it forever.

I know this is a sad topic- but I hope that you remember it and that if ever you are in this difficult position that you do the same. Putting my own sadness aside to be there for him was the best thing I could have done for him at that point.

The last two weeks have been a roller coaster here at our house, and now it seems we have a sad but necessary resolution. Our dog Jake has been in the hospital a week now, and while the expectation was that he’d get well, respond to medication, and be able to come home that has not happened. Last night they tried again to feed him orally, and he was unable to keep the tiny bit of food down. His disease (myasenthia gravis) is so strong that he is just not recovering the way most dogs do. At this point in time our chances are slim to none that he will ever be able to come home, and so we’ve had to make the heart breaking decision to put him down. 

It is very sad, but I am glad to know we did everything possible and that he’s been quite comfortable down at UC Davis. We will go visit him this evening to send him off with love.
