Tammy and I have had some "tuff" luck this past week or so. 1st, Tam broke a tooth and they can't get her into the dentist until next week. Then she got some "red flags" at the doctor's office and is gonna have to have some further tests done(keep us in your thoughts on that one). Then it was my turn...started with the regulator f87king up on my gas grill. Followed by a flat tire on my truck. To top it off, I actually sent my phone through the washer. No biggies that can't be taken care of sans Tammy's medical procedures. Now to the real meat. I found out on Father's Day week-end that I was going to be a Grandpa. My first grandchild. My daughter is expecting in mid-December. She has been living with the father for 2 years now...and I find out last night that he doesn't want to get married, doesn't want the kid, and is taking his happy ass back to his family in Indy. Thanks for listening and I am going outside to do some target practice with my .22 and 12 gauge. Sorry to hear Rico, especially for what your daughter and wife are going through. I hope the red flags turn out to be relatively minor. Life is sometimes a bitch. Hope you and yours weather the tough times through ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough week here too...one of our horses is in the hospital with choke. Find out today if it cleared or he undergoes a risky (50/50) medical procedure. Not as tough as human stuff, but devastating to my wife... We had our guy, Boomer, euthanized today. We didn't want him to suffer any more, and that's all he had to look forward to... Just a little backstory to let people know what a wonderful person I'm married to...Boomer was initially a "lesson horse" at a barn my daughter rode at when we lived in Chicagoland. Some people we knew bought him from the barn for their daughter. Long story short, we moved to Houston and the girl who had Boomer developed arthritis (she was 16 at the time) and couldn't ride. The family asked my wife if she would take him...free...they didn't want him to go through the rigors if being a lesson horse again and they had seen my wife with our horses and knew what kind of care he'd get. My wife agreed, and they paid 2K to ship him down here. He had 6 wonderful years here, being ridden a couple of times a week, and hanging and grazing with our other 2. All under the watchful, caring eye of my wife. The vet who put him down today, after letting and observing us spend the day with him told my wife after it was done, "He was lucky to have you." I agree...pic is from today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animals are so beautiful and all they do is love. Sorry to hear that but you gave Boomer it's best life. Thoughts up and find a new one in a few months. That empty stall can be hard.

mrflynn03 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Just read through this. @rico praying for you all. @IUFLA lost a lot of pets in my time. Nothing as big as a horse. Hard to deal with. For some reason I was always the one to bury them on the farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach1K Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 My week has been hectic and even for my mom she finally got my grandparents to move out their three story house that they've been in for who knows how long and now my mom and my uncle have to get it sold and have some of what's left auctioned off. Their using a realtor who is the son of someone my grandfather knows so that helps. My grandfather is 92 and my grandmother is in her late 80's and neither one can't drive my grandmother is hard of hearing of both are having memory issues. They got moved into an assisted living facility that's close to my parents and close to my sister and my brother in law I've been burying myself work things.

Coach1K Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 My grandfather is still in the hospital and doesn't have much time left. Yesterday he started experiencing what they call Cheynne-Stokes breathing I have never heard of it before. I was in his room yesterday and I tried to hold up as best as I could. I was at a funeral today for another family member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Don't know why, but this thread suddenly was tearing at my heart. Rico, know this before you know it, you will be able to hold your precious Grandbaby like I did my first Granddaughter just a few weeks ago. Jackie, sorry for your family, but just know your Grandpa used to hold you in his love as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Very sorry to hear about your grandfather, Miss Coach1k. Sorry for your loss. I can tell that you are a very kind person. You always give people the benefit of the doubt and that’s a great quality. Your grandfather undoubtedly was proud of you. I hope your grandmother is coping well. My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
