I don't purport to be a yoga master, I've recently started enjoying Bikram Yoga at a studio in my hometown. I wanted a way to increase my flexibility because I'm one of those people that runs without stretching before or afterwards and it is starting to catch up to me. I feel great after a yoga session and really look forward to my classes. Of all the asanas that we perform I have to say that savasana or "Corpse Pose" has got to be the hardest. If you know anything about yoga you probably wonder what I'm talking about. Corpse Pose is basically just laying there. Savasana is usually done at the end of a class for about 5 minutes while some rhythmic music plays softly in the background. It is supposed to be a time to deeply relax, abandon yourself to calm thoughts and cool down after your yoga session. The problem for me is that it is rather difficult for me to remain that still for that long without thinking about things like the bills I forgot to pay or how I'm hungry and my stomach is about to make noise that the entire class will hear.
Yesterday, I thought I was finally going to get this savasana down, I was relaxed, I made sure I'd taken care of all my responsibilities and I had a small snack before class so I wouldn't be troubled by the rumbles of my stomach protesting the coinciding time of the end of yoga and my usual dinner time. The whole class was supposed to be rather relaxing, the yoga instructor turned the usual class down a notch and it was all about taking it easy and letting things go, she announced that there would be an extra long savasana this time, I was actually excited about it. I was finally going to get this whole savasana thing down and take myself to some happy place where there was no load of wet laundry I forgot to put in the dryer or my stomach involuntarily announcing its starving condition. I was doing pretty well for the first few minutes, drifting off to peaceful thoughts of nothingness and calm when I began to be distracted by someone's breathing in the corner of the room. It started out like a deep breathing, a sort of "psshhhh" breathing like I would imagine someone would be taught in a lamaze class, then slowly it became lite snoring, then devolved into a deep guttural growl of log sawing. It echoed off the walls and drowned out the peaceful drum and scimitar music, my thoughts of nothingness were replaced with memories of trying to sleep at summer camp next to this older overweight kid in 4th grade. From there it went to almost an exaggeration of snoring, like if I were going to demonstrate snoring for some aliens that weren't familiar with our biological habits or make a sound byte for an anti-snoring device. I started to laugh, then I felt self-conscious about that because I felt like I wasn't following the non-judgmental and accepting sprit of the class. I looked over at the girl with whom I go to yoga and I could see she was doing her best to keep her composure as well and it just made me want to laugh more. Finally it was mercifully over, I think the yoga instructor actually had to wake the guy up, so we weren't stepping over him while we returned our blocks and rolled up our mats.
Since this experience I've done some Googling and haven't really gotten a definitive answer on whether or not sleeping is really acceptable during savasana. So yoga experts, what's the call? Is it okay to drift off till you're snoring like my 4th grade summer camp bunk mate or should this be a time of deep but conscious thought and relaxation? Am I just a judgmental yoga jerk who can't let go enough to overlook this natural human condition or am I right to have wished I could have thrown a pillow at the snoozing yoga practitioner which was the cure for my summer camp nemesis?

The Deaf & Hard of Hearing Services of the Treasure Coast is in need of hearing aid donations of all types and in any condition.
Many people wonder what to do with their old units that just take up drawer space. Donated units are refurbished and then provided to people in the local community who could not otherwise afford one.
For many sufferers of hearing loss, the purchase of new hearing aids may be cost prohibitive. When that happens, a person must make quality-of-life decisions when faced with price tags ranging from $1,000 to $6,000 for new hearing aids.
Few insurance policies cover hearing aid services. Hearing aids donated to DHHS will be added to the organization's hearing aid bank. The devices can then be refurbished to fit someone who has applied for help and met certain DHHS requirements.
All or a portion of the audiological services are donated to DHHS by a local certified audiologist. Therefore, an adult client will pay as little $500 and the parents of qualifying children pay nothing.
Contact DHHS to find out how to make a tax- deductible donation.
DHHS is a nonprofit organization serving the nearly 90,000 deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in the four county area of Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee and is a United Way affiliated agency.
For more information on the hearing aid bank call DHHS at (772) 334-2233 or email email@example.com.

Specter died of complications from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at his home in Philadelphia, his family said. He was 82.
The veteran Pennsylvania politician had overcome numerous serious illnesses over the past two decades, including a brain tumor and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He had been in the public eye since serving as a member of the Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Specter was elected to the Senate in 1980 and represented Pennsylvania for 30 years, longer than anyone in the state's history. His politically moderate image fit hand-in-glove with the politically blue Northeast, both its Democratic centrists and its liberal Republicans.
He was also one of America's most prominent Jewish politicians, a rare Republican in a category dominated by Democrats over the decades. And his name is synonymous with Pennsylvania, an idiosyncratic state that pushes and pulls between the two parties, and his home, the staunchly Democratic city of Philadelphia.
In 2006, Philadelphia magazine called him "One of the few true wild cards of Washington politics ... reviled by those on both the right and the left."
"Charming and churlish, brilliant and pedantic, he can be fiercely independent, entertainingly eccentric, and simply maddening," the profile read.
Former Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat, called Specter "a mentor, colleague and a political institution" who "did more for the people of Pennsylvania over his more than 30-year career with the possible exception of Benjamin Franklin." And Pat Toomey, the Republican who now holds Specter's old Senate seat, praised him as "a man of sharp intelligence and dogged determination."
And at the White House, President Barack Obama said Specter "was always a fighter."
"From his days stamping out corruption as a prosecutor in Philadelphia to his three decades of service in the Senate, Arlen was fiercely independent -- never putting party or ideology ahead of the people he was chosen to serve," Obama said in a written statement on Specter's death. "He brought that same toughness and determination to his personal struggles, using his own story to inspire others."
G. Terry Madonna, director of the Franklin & Marshall College Poll and professor of pubic affairs at Franklin & Marshall College, said Frank Sinatra's song "My Way" could apply to Specter.
"There isn't any doubt in many respects he was an unusual politician," Madonna said. "He didn't look at polls. He didn't track how his comments were playing out in the press. ...
"He was fundamentally a pragmatist who could bend with the times," Madonna said, and he believed greatly that government could help people.
"The Republicanism in his day, it was a different kind of Republican. He was a Philadelphian, and not into that staunchly conservative Republicanism that we see" today.
Madonna called Specter an "indefatigable" public figure, highly demanding of both himself and those who worked for him over the years. He had a few election losses but he was undeterred by defeat, the prospects of losing and the challenges he faced.
"The last thing you would have thought about Arlen Specter was that he was born in Kansas," Madonna said. "He always came across as kind of urbane. He had a kind of caustic sense of humor."
But Specter in fact was born in Wichita, the youngest child of Lillie Shanin and Harry Specter, an immigrant from Ukraine. He grew up in Russell, Kansas, also the hometown of another Republican icon, a one-time presidential nominee and senator, Bob Dole.
After graduating from Russell High School in 1947, Specter first went to the University of Oklahoma. But he eventually went east for his higher education. He earned a bachelor's degree in international relations in 1951 from the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa.
He was in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War from 1951 to 1953, serving as a second lieutenant in the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. He returned to his studies and graduated from Yale Law School in 1956.
After Yale, he started practicing law and became an assistant district attorney in Philadelphia.

Nearly 100 people attended a "Wide Awake Rally" Wednesday night in support of the Kountze ISD cheerleaders who were recently told they could not display religious banners at football games.
Over Everest Ministry put on the rally to encourage the cheerleaders for standing up for their beliefs.
The Kountze ISD superintendent banned the cheerleaders from using religious messages on run-through signs at football games. A two-week temporary restraining order has been issued to allow cheerleaders to continue using the banners, for now.
Wednesday, supporters rallied around the girls at the Great lawn of the Beaumont Event Centre.
Thursday, a Plano-based Christian advocacy organization called the "Liberty Institute" will start a petition drive to encourage Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to support the cause of the cheerleaders.
They petition can be found at LibertyInstitute.org, beginning Thursday.

High Quality Product
By Nooshefx

About Me Enthusiast
Comments about Contract Killer CK Short Sleeve Rashguard:
The quality of the rash guard is top notch! Materials are solid and well put together. The sizing however is odd. If you are somewhat muscular this may not work for you. I'm 177 lbs and used the sizing chart listed. The neck is a bit tight and my arms are to big. I'm not a huge extremely muscular person but I'm well put together. I believe my biceps measure at 14.75 non flexed and I had to cut the sleeves and tuck them back. This rashguard seems to be designed for a more slender person.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

i bought another brand from another supplier - cost more, didnt fit at all. Tried these from you - excellent quality, fit, value. Prompt delivery overseas, excellent customer support.An impressive website and customer service, thank you.
Design looks good but, fits well but..
By Rick Noble
from California
See all my reviews
The design on this is pretty good. The fit guide is accurate. The problem is the quality of materials used to make these. My other CK rash Guard started doing some weird tacking/coming undone on the first wash (Cold water and I let it air dry.) I sent it back. I didn't notice as much on the one I used till right before I put it on. So I put a shirt over just incase. I used it, washed it and it got worse. None of the other brand of rash guards I got do this.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Excellent Rashguard

I'm an indie game developer and head of the Mema Hunters, currently i work in IT Development for another company (non games related) as a means to get paid and do my game development on the side.
I'm also a huge Anime and Game Otaku with a paranoia which compels me to buy 2 of any figure or something i can duplicate easily and store 1 for stately
in terms of genre's in anime and games i don't have too much of a preference just as long as it has a good store and good mechanics (games), ofcause this tends to make me lean towards RPG Games as i have a huge collection of them already.
I am however a major lover of Shoujo Ai/Yuri like Maria Watches Over Us and Strawberry Panic! but i do have the will power to finish my current series when a new Shoujo Ai/Yuri arrived in the mail.

Osteomalacia is softening of the bones due to a lack of vitamin D
or a problem with the body's ability to break down and use this vitamin.
The softer bones in osteomalacia have a normal amount of collagen, which gives the bones its structure. However, they lack the proper amount of calcium.
There are many causes of osteomalacia. In children, the condition is called rickets
and is usually caused by low levels of vitamin D.
Other conditions that may lead to osteomalacia include:
Factors that reduce formation of vitamin D in the body include:
The elderly and people who do not drink milk are at increased risk for osteomalacia.
Other conditions that may cause osteomalacia include:
Symptoms may also occur due to low calcium levels. These include:
Other tests may be done to find out if a kidney problem or other disorder is causing the problem. These tests include:
Treatment may involve vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus supplements taken by mouth. People who cannot properly absorb nutrients through the intestines may need larger doses of vitamin D and calcium.
People with certain conditions may need regular blood tests to monitor blood levels of phosphorus and calcium.
Some people with vitamin deficiency disorders will see improvement within a few weeks. You should heal completely with treatment in about 6 months.
Symptoms can return.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of osteomalacia, or if you think that you may be at risk for this disorder.
Eating a diet rich in vitamin D and getting plenty of sunlight can help prevent osteomalacia due to a vitamin D deficiency.

E3 2011: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
QUICKTAKE: The Call of Duty franchise is such a known quality that it becomes difficult to find new words to describe it. Like its many annual predecessors, Modern Warfare 3 continues the franchise's penchant for Hollywood-inspired action, amping it up to new levels of astounding unbelievability. New sequences shown at E3 remind us why the franchise is a blockbuster -- sometimes literally -- while new multiplayer provides reliable, but not particularly inspired, fun.
THE DEMO: Activision presented two demos for Modern Warfare 3. The first, a non-playable demonstration of the single player campaign, introduced players to some of the explosive sequences set on the game's global stage: New York and London. While the New York level was previously shown at the Microsoft conference, the London level surprised us with an absurd chase through the Underground. You chase a rampaging subway car, hijacked by terrorists, while avoiding oncoming trains, only to derail it in a destructive sequence that would make Michael Bay jealous.
The second demo offered hands-on time with the game's new cooperative Survival mode -- essentially, Call of Duty's take on Horde mode.
DETAILS: Here's a sure-fire way to ensure you'll enjoy the Modern Warfare 3 campaign: don't ask any questions. Riding a Jeep, chasing after a speeding train in London's Underground, there were all sorts of questions that came into mind. For example: why hasn't train service stopped since the obvious intrusion in the system? Certainly, the computer-controlled driver wouldn't need to make such daring hairpin turns to avoid crashing into an oncoming train if someone had called this in. A few minutes in, as you race past a crowded station filled with civilians, I couldn't help but think "why are these people still here? Shouldn't they have evacuated long ago?" And then more thoughts crossed my mind. "If New York City was destroyed, how is the global economy still running? How are people on the Tube, acting as if nothing happened?"
These were, of course, the wrong questions to be asking. I should've just turned off my brain and enjoyed the spectacle that was playing out in front of my eyes. As the gunner jumps out of cover and starts firing into the speeding train, I should've enjoyed the cacophony of gun fire and clanking metal playing through the demo room's surround sound system. As the train gets derailed and tumbles through cement pillar after cement pillar, I shouldn't have questioned the structural stability of the tunnel. Instead, I should've just accepted the fact that what I saw was absolutely awe-some.
Activision wouldn't show off the game's competitive multiplayer mode, instead giving us the opportunity to see more of the upcoming Call of Duty Elite subscription service. I chose to play the new Spec Ops mode, Survival, instead.
It is a very traditional Horde mode that brings in progressively more difficult waves of enemies over time. While in the first round, you face a small handful of shotgun-equipped baddies, the later rounds introduce soldiers with better load outs, dogs, poison gas, helicopters, and the heavily-armored Juggernaut soldier. When dynamite-strapped dogs chew on your face, you know you're in trouble.
I definitely had fun playing with another person. We got to round 20, at around 30 minutes of gameplay, before we were both gunned down by a mob of soldiers. What makes Survival so much fun is that the core gameplay of Call of Duty still remains fun, regardless of how absurd the campaign may become. I enjoyed the Call of Duty-isms added to Survival: for example, a separate XP tree that allows you to unlock better weapons specifically for use in co-op. There's also an in-match store you can access that allows you to buy more ammo, new weapons and attachments, and other perks using money you earn throughout the rounds. The money encourages skillful play, rewarding bonuses based on headshots, killstreaks and killing many enemies in a short period of time. You can spend that money to buy turrets, mines, grenades, and even an AI-controlled squad of bodyguards. Given how quickly the challenge ramps up, money is absolutely invaluable in Survival.
While straightforward, Modern Warfare 3's Survival mode is intelligently designed. Once again, the addictive XP system, and rewarding in-game challenges, made me want to play even more. Apparently, the record for E3 so far was reaching wave 24. That's a benchmark I know I want to beat.

Rage Release Date Announced: 9/13/11 in the USAt the conclusion of the Rage presentation at QuakeCon 2010, id Software creative director Tim Wilits announced that Rage would ship on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on September 13, 2011 in the US and two days later in Europe.
While id Software has always been a "when its done" company, Tim promised that Rage would hit this release date and that the launch would be the "biggest, coolest, and most badass launch possible."
It's over a year away, but now we have a release date! Which platform are you going to play it on? I'm eyeing the PC version, obviously.

Katy, those eggs are gorgeous. Even though you live in TX, I never imagined you with a Southern accent. lol. I think I always think of people with the Midwest accent. DH laughs at me when we go back to AR because he says I go back to a Southern accent and I abandon it when I get back home to England.
Mandy, I hope you sort something out with your parents. My DH only has his mum, dad, sister, brother-in-law and 2 nephews and 1 niece as family here, so family gatherings are always pleasant for the most part (well, there all about the kids now since there are 5 in such a small family).
Travis is excited about the Easter bunny coming to our house tomorrow; he's seen a Hot Wheels Easter Egg we've bought him and has been asking for it for a week and I told him he could have it tomorrow when the Easter bunny takes it to his room. Easter is all about chocolate in the UK.
Oh, and I agree with everyone about the intuition thing. I think it is a lot of subconscious thought and deep knowledge.

Facebook, which owns Instagram, is expected to announce this week a new video option for the popular photo app. Most likely the feature will be for shortened video clips kind of what you see on Vine, the popular video app.
That could spell big trouble for Vine, says Christina Warren, a senior tech analyst at Mashable, an online tech magazine.
One of the things that makes Instagram popular is the filter feature, like the Rise filter I used for this picture of my dog Oslo to bring out the color more.
Imagine using the app for stop-motion videos that the really creative Vine users post. The various filter settings would take it to another level.
Speaking of filters, Vine recently started filtering out pornographic content. Vine took some heat when it was first launched because a naughty few were uploading, well, you can figure out the rest.
Facebook restricts porn as well, so it's likely an Instagram video option would do that same. We'll see.
We asked Facebook for an overall comment about the new video, a spokesperson responded: "We do not comment on rumors or speculation."
One dedicated Instagram user said she the rumors and speculation are true. Her friend even took our picture using Instagram.
As for the video option, stay tuned.

He's played everything from Professor Alastor 'Mad¬Eye' Moody in Harry Potter, a warrior in Mel Gibson's Braveheart and Seargant Gerry Boyle in surprise box office success The Guard. He's even played a Smurf
This time, though, our Malahide-boy Brendan Gleeson is putting his years of experience to good use and joining Charles Dance, Michael Gambon, Jeremy Irons and Downton Abbey's Penelope Wilton at The World Actors Forum at The Gate Theatre.
The actors will be seated opposite a very inquisitive John Boorman – well known for directing classics such as Deliverance and Excalibur, the latter of which was filmed in County Wicklow (home to the academy award-winner, Daniel Day Lewis). The pair also joined forces with Kim Cattrall in The Tiger's Tail.
In front of a captivated Gate Theatre audience, Gleeson is going to tell all about his career, and about life growing up in Dublin as an actor. To all intents and purposes, he will be on stage without a script. He will ad-lib an entire talk and his audience will be actors from as far afield as Russia, Belarus, the Middle East and the US.
So, if Brendan Gleeson's life was a movie script, what would it tell us?
Back in March 29, 1955, a little boy entered the Gleeson household – he had a rogueish charm and, as a youngster, he yearned to be an actor. But these were days when a regular bread and butter income was what was called for, so he spent a decade as a teacher in St Joseph's Secondary school in Fairview, Dublin, before reaching for his dreams.
Gleeson's big screen debut came in The Field alongside his fellow Harry Potter actor and Irish acting institution, Richard Harris. Filmed in the exquisitely beautiful West of Ireland, largely in a Connemara town called Leenane, this was Gleeson's break. From now on, there was no stopping him. His characters stole scenes from an irrepressible Mel Gibson in Braveheart (again on his home turf as many of Braveheart's scenes featured counties Meath, Kildare and the Garden of Ireland, Wicklow), charmed us as a crude but principled Galway policeman and beautifully mixed father figure with assassin for In Bruges.
When he first heard this comparison, Gleeson took it as a compliment when asked about it in interview with The UK's Guardian newspaper:
"When that first came up I was hugely flattered. How could you not be? I can understand why people want to look at nice faces on film, but cinema has got to embrace humanity in all different shapes and forms. You can't just choose nice teeth and a beautiful figure."
Yet Gleeson is not only attracted to the big screen. A thespian at heart, the Dubliner has made waves around the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford Upon Avon and embodied masterfully Samuel Beckett's work on Irish stages.
If you were in the audience at the World Actors Forum – what would you like to ask? Maybe you'd like to pop a few questions to the other guests? Or perhaps just ask yourself why Ireland was chosen for this inaugural event. The short answer is that storytelling is in our DNA.
Telling those stories on film, TV or stage is just a natural progression.
Just ask Brendan Gleeson. He knows...

(RNN) - Syracuse hits the court Monday, two days removed from a spectacular win and brandishing the No. 1 ranking, as well as the best record in the program's history.
The thrilling 91-89 overtime win against Duke may have been the game of the year in college basketball. C.J. Fair and Jerami Grant posted career-best totals in points scored - both while playing 40-plus minutes.
With an already short bench for the Orange and a Notre Dame team that can make baskets in bunches coming to town, the potential for a letdown is high.
Eric Atkins made up for a missed free throw that could have won the game at the end of regulation Saturday. His 3-pointer with less than a second left in overtime was the difference in the 76-73 win over Boston College.
The win got them out of an offensive funk - they had failed to break the 60-point mark their last two. One reason for the breakout was the return of Pat Connaughton's shooting touch; he is a dangerous scorer from behind the arc and uses his athleticism well when attacking the lane. Another reason was the effectiveness of little-seen freshman V.J. Beachem, who may have carved out more minutes with the 10-point effort on 4-8 shooting.
Fair played every minute of the Duke showdown and was unstoppable from the field for much of the second half. The weight of the game could be seen for just a moment on the senior's usually expressionless face as he slammed the ball down, letting out a roar and motioning to the crowd.
Underclassmen and upperclassmen alike have showed marvelous composure in several close games this year, something required to go undefeated. Tyler Ennis has established himself in the role of closer, creating opportunities off the dribble with a quick first move and finishing with either hand.
Marcus Georges-Hunt scored a career-best 23 to help the Yellow Jackets overcome injuries and turnovers Saturday to win 79-70 at Wake Forest. The sophomore's aggressiveness has been evident since his classmate Robert Carter Jr. went down, but this was the first time his efforts were also efficient (8-16 shooting, 2-4 on 3-pointers, 5-5 free throws).
The turnovers could become a problem again Tuesday, especially if point guard Trae Golden has not recovered from the pulled groin that caused him to miss most of last game. Daniel Miller's defense remains consistent, but he also needs to produce with points and rebounds every game out for Georgia Tech to win.
The Tigers got back to giving their opponents claustrophobia Saturday after two subpar performances by their defense. That and a 26-point effort by K.J. McDaniels gave them their biggest road win so far, a 53-49 win at Florida State.
The win puts Clemson in fifth place in the ACC and only a half-game back of the next two teams. The team around McDaniels has not been able to make an impact every night-out, but Rod Hall has the skills to manage the game and create shots, while Landry Nnoko displayed solid low-post moves several times this season.
Also Tuesday:
Maryland (13-9, 5-4) at North Carolina (14-7, 4-4), 8 p.m. ACC Network
Wake Forest (14-8, 4-5) at Duke (17-5, 6-3), 9 p.m.
The Hurricanes have used a zone defense to stay in games against several quality opponents but rarely gotten the desired result by the end. Their Saturday provided a break from conference actions, instead hosting Norfolk State and dispatching the Spartans, 64-49.
Rion Brown remains the team's most consistent scorer, relying heavily on his accuracy from long distance. Donnavan Kirk has become a potential threat on both sides of the half court line, using his leaping ability to score inside on one end and swat away shots at the other.
Something nearly unheard of happened in Pittsburgh last week: the Panthers dropped two games in a row at the Petersen Events Center. The rabid fan base known as the Oakland Zoo saw their beloved squad fall Monday to Duke 80-65 then to Virginia on Saturday, 48-45.
Lamar Patterson has been Mr. Everything for the team, leading the team in scoring and contributing in rebounds, assists and on defense. His game has noticeably improved from his junior year effort, so the poor shooting in the last two games could only be a blip on the radar. Talib Zanna missed several minutes after turning his ankle in the Virginia game; he is essential to coach Jamie Dixon's signatures - tough defense and offensive rebounding.
Also Wednesday:
Boston College (6-15, 2-6) at No. 20 Virginia (17-5, 8-1), 7 p.m.
Virginia Tech (8-13, 1-8) at Florida State (13-8, 4-5), 9 p.m.

Alexander Payne directs Nebraska, a movie about a father and son who travel to Nebraska from Montana to claim a lottery prize. Not familiar with Alexander Payne? Shame on you! He directed The Descendants, Election, About Schmidt, Sideways, and the list goes on.
I've been looking forward to this movie for awhile now and I can't wait to see how Will Forte does with a role that isn't ridiculously, over the top, funny.

The Language of Euthanasia
What's the alternative to "putting him down"?
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
We lost our 9 year old beagle to lymphoma in January of 2006. I have been mulling over Donna's same conundrum since I had to make the call to the vet on that very sad day. I have had more than enough time to come up with something; and I've seen more than enough synonyms that irk me just the same. The stark indifference of "euthanize". The childishness of "cross the rainbow bridge". The emptiness of "put her to sleep".
Ultimately, I've come to reference Minnie's passing as "we let her go". Essentially, that's what we did. For a year and a half, we battle with chemotherapy, steroids, pain killers, all because of our belief that she would spring back from this illness. She hadn't finished her life; she wanted to fight.
But just under a year after completing treatment, she began to come out of remission. It was only then that we noticed, Minnie's once beautifully radiant auburn coat appeared dusty and weathered. She had trouble regulating her body temperature and guzzled water. And because of the swelling of her lymph nodes, our superlatively housebroken pup began having accidents inside again. She was ashamed. She was irritated. But mostly, she was tired.
In her true spirit, Minnie was tail-wagging, sock-stealing, and treat-begging through the tumors and the tests, the shots and the medications, until her last peaceful moments. We loved her dearly, and could not comprehend the joy and strength she brought to our family until we were faced with her absence. But we had to respect her quality of life, her pride, we had to let her go.

I used to come home to Kelly,our German Shepherd and say to myself " Still Alive" She died May 17, 2004 of complications from diabetes. I still miss her and blame myself that I did not put her out of her misery when I could. The last time I saw her she was vibrating and then she relaxed and put her head in my hand. The next time I saw her she had died. Her tongue was distended, her eyes open and dry. My thought was how she must have suffered from thirst. It is a choice that has to be made by listening to what your dog wants. Unfortunatley, I think I was too selfish.

Ijust had to euthanize my beloved 17 year old minature Schaunzer Angie yesterday. We kept her going since Christmas with Cortizone shots and pain pills. Finally yesterday she said it was time to visit the RAINBOW BRIDGE and to see Riley the Cocker Spaniel. Her roommate Miss Sunshine is devasted as are the rest of us.

We just pts our Irish Wolfhound Sweet Eli last Monday (February 9th) and our friend in Scotland pts her Irish Wolfhound Harry Potter on Wednesday (February 11). She says "pts" as do we and that seems not as harsh as "put down"; not actually saying any words, just the letters. Whatever we call it we know they're going away from us and hopefully over the Rainbow Bridge to chase the bad bunnies that are sent there for their amusement until we all meet again.
In the last year, my two senior canine companions, Mischief (a spaniel) and Dixiebelle (Goldie-cross), went on ahead.
That's how I regard it: sending 'em on ahead. I don't care about "heaven" if my canine and feline companions aren't gonna be there.
I also regard the experience as a final gift from them to us: their passing gives us--a people who are often urged to suppress our tears--the opportunity and the excuse to weep openly...

I've always found it a bit more tolerable to say "put her to sleep". We had to do this with our 19-year-old doggy 4 years ago. Being put to sleep somehow sounds more peaceful, like I'm doing one last helpful thing for my pet. Though they go to sleep forever, never to wake again, we know that in some way we were able to ease their suffering.

We lost our 12 yo German Shepard Sophie about 4.5 years ago. I know we made the right decision. After the pain pills didn't work as well her life was limited to her crate and trying to get up to go outside to the bathroom. Most of the time she did not make it and felt ashamed. It still hurts today, but letting her go is what we did.
We always say that "we helped her pass over" because it allows people to realize that she did indeed die but that it wasn't from a sudden accident. It denotes a gradual aging or chronic condition that caused difficulty for our fur-child. It also lets people know that it was a conscious, humane decision made by us as her caretakers.

I am so sorry to hear about your recent loss... what has worked for me is saying that we helped our companion to cross over. You can follow-it up with "heaven," "rainbow bridge," "a better place." or whatever descriptive you're most comfortable with -- that is the most important thing.
I wish you much peace in these difficult times and hope your new canine partner can continur to give you solace and comfort.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. It is never easy to lose a friend. We recently lost our dear 12 yr old furry friend "Jesse" to bladder cancer. We "let him go" when we knew he was losing his quality of life. He became a tripod at age 6 and adapted quite well. As he aged and hopping became more difficult he accompanied us on walks in his red wagon with his furry brothers and sisters. The bladder cancer took us by surprise as most creatures don't show signs of weakness until the problem is advanced. We only had 3 more weeks after the diagnosis. Our wonderful vet told us to call when we needed him and that he had given his best friend a rotisiere chicken as a final meal. We took his advice, offered our friend the chicken on a blanket in the front room then went for a final walk in the wagon. He was ready and we had to be ready to "let him go." He would have tried to stay longer for us but it would have been selfish for us to ask this of him. I miss him every day and planted daffodils on his grave this year.

As our sweet Indy was failing, our vet told us that we would know when it was time to let him go. One morning, the look on his face was just different and I knew this was the time. I like to think we "helped him cross over," from life with us to his next one. Hopefully, he'll be waiting for us there.

My first dog ever, I had an Old English Sheepdog, Emily in my youth. I was 23 years old. One morning, Emily could not move out of her bed. I lifted her and took her outside to p and p. She was paralyzed. To the vet we went. He told me that she had a stroke. Meds would help her for 6 months but the prognosis was bad.
I remember that when she was a pup, I promised her that I would never let her suffered. If I kept her alive, it would be for me and not for her.
I asked the vet to euthanize her. I went home and they called me several hours later. I was in shock. I was so stoic. I put Emily in my Honda Civic and drove to all the parks she and I play and wento to all the homes we shared together in her 11 years. Then buried her in the back yard.
Now I can say that I feel guilty. Maybe I could have had more months with her- kept her comfortable. Now I think if I knew then in 1983 what I know now in in 2009.
Comments? I can take it. I need to come clean with Emily's life.

I don't think what you did was wrong. There are times in our lives when we have to make ethical and/or moral decisions that don't set right with our gut feelings.
I just had to euthenize my dog a few weeks ago because he bit a young girl, and I felt that under no circumstance couuld we take a chance it could possibly happen again. I too feel guilty. What we have to rememebr is that guilt serves no purpose, and it is some thing that you can chose not to feel. This doesn't mean you will never feel it, just that you can stop it from eating you up.
You said that you were very stoic at the time this happened. Maybe you did that because it was too painful to deal with at the time. The thing that you have to remember about grief is that it doesn't happen in some predictable pattern. I think grief comes back to you periodically and you just have to recognize it.
i am sure that you loved your dog. Know that you helped ease her suffering.
If you are looking for someone to disapprove of what you did, I think that you will find most pet lovers would be in support of your decision.
I hope you find peace in your memories of Emily.

After working more than 16 years in veterinary medicine, I've had plenty of experience with euthanasia, both in my personal and professional life. And all I can say is that it's never an easy decision for a caring owner/guardian to make. It's always difficult. There are always plenty of opportunities to ask "what if?" And a grieving caregiver can find plenty of ways to feel guilty. Whatever euphemism one uses to describe the act of euthanasia is fine IF it allows the person to find peace with their decision. For myself, I have decided to say "we decided to give Jack the gift of euthanasia and end his suffering". (Which is what we did for our terrier last spring after his cancerous tumor returned) It tells it like it is, but it also allows for my own personal opinion that euthanasia is a gift that we are allowed to share with our beloved animal companions once it's become obvious that medicine has no more to offer. The process one goes through in making that decision is a different subject altogether, and it is one that's fraught with emotional perils. But what's most important is the ultimate knowledge that we loved and cared for our companion(s) to be the best of our ability at the time, and that we allow our broken spirits whatever time they need to heal. To Bernice, I respectfully suggest that while you are still grieving your decision, you are using the knowledge that you have now to keep yourself locked in the guilt you still feel about the past. Please treat yourself with kindness as you work through these painful memories and know that Emily knew how deeply she was loved. Beating yourself up over her final moments does not serve her memory, and it keeps you trapped in emotional turmoil and regret. She would not want that for her best friend. Take good care.
