This is a project that deals with the inner conflicts of the human soul and psyche, and the abominations you will encounter are the very embodiment of those feelings. So, if you're expecting a game where your characters eventually evolve into demi-gods and take down some super-powered one-winged angel or another, this isn't a game for you. Enelysion is a project between human beings, and their inner struggles, desires and fears, which I personally find far more interesting.
You probably want to know what the game is like before downloading, eh? The above video should give the player an idea.
Chapter One avaliable for download ( Released May 2010 ).
Have fun, everyone.
The world of Elendia is in turmoil. 300 years have passed since the founding of the 4 nations and the legend of Cuchulain.
The information below is quite long, so if you're prepared to read a wall of text relating to Elendia's history, feel free.
Enelysion Cycle or E.C 456
- The Pegasi of Lugh is the central epic of the Enelysion cycle.
The saga begins as King Atheon of Vonnaug amasses a large army in order to gain possession
of a magnificent pegasus belonging to Vaire, a chieftain of Enelys. As the men of Enelys are afflicted by a debilitating
curse, the seventeen-year-old Cuchulain must defend Enelys single-handedly. The lightning-struck tower
was the battlefield for this confrontation.
Caught unawares, Atheon unleashed a powerful form of dark magic that decimates most of
Cuchulain's reinforcements. Terrifying beings, known only as Nyx, feed on the life essence
of the fallen. Atheon intends to use the energy to begin his apotheosis.
Legend has it that after Cuchulain suffered a mortal wound from his arch-enemy
Atheon, a pegasi came up to him and rested its head against Cuchulain's wound.
Miraculously, it healed, and the hero was filled with divine strength, enabling him to cut down
Atheon ( who had fused with a being known as Nyx ) and his minions with a blade known only as
After Atheon's defeat, Cuchulain bid farewell to his fellow comrades. These 4 warriors would eventually
form the 4 kingdoms that make up Elendia. They signed an agreement never to engage in pointless
warfare, assist each other in possible times of strife, and provide reinforcements when needed. Sangreal
and Rheis would eventually become close allies.
- Cuchulain would go on to establish Sangreal, the largest of the 4 nations, and would establish the Tuatha De Danaan,
a band of mercernaries which would become legends in their own right as champions of mankind.
St. Fonteini, the bringer of Light, would go on to establish the Alatean Brotherhood, and the mage nation
of Raguel. They were entrusted with the sword Sigurd, and it is revered amongst the
brotherhood to this day. No-one has since been able to withdraw the sword from its scabbard.
It was not meant to be drawn, even during times of conflict.
-Donar, the warrior with "thunder in his veins" became a recluse from society, and formed the warrior nation
of Balor. But without his guidance, the nation slipped into chaos, and various rogue-like bands sprung
up, each with their own laws and customs. To this day, they still battle over land ownership
feuds begun centuries before...
- Leto, the Archsage, founded the Kingdom of Rheis. He became fascinated with the ancient legends,
dating long before the Enelysion Era, and spiralled down into darkness. Banished from Rheis
for his abominable acts, he went underground and vanished as though he had never existed.
In Chapter One: Halcyon Days ( Already avaliable )
Length: Around 1.5 to 2 hours.
Laine, a mercenary of an even temperament living in the town of Landen, recieves an unusual summoning by a hooded stranger after coming into contact with a strange glowing orb. He warns her that everything she holds dear will soon be in grave peril. She dismisses his talk as the 'ramblings of a lunatic' and proceeds to take on a job at the local pub, which also serves as the mercenary headquaters, yet she cannot quell the thought that she is being watched by some unknown force...
In Chapter Two: Black Tempest ( Release date TBA )
It is the calm before the storm. An organization, long-thought extinct, rises up from the shadows to put an end to their sworn enemies. Two countries are in turmoil, and the kindle for the flames of strife are already laid down. Two knights, entrusted with an important mission, only add to the intrigue that is currently plaguing the continent of Elendia... How do Laine and her companion Patrick fit into all this? All this and more will be revealed in Chapter Two of Enelysion: Red Dawn.

- A group of detailed, in-game guides to help you along.
- A game that puts emphasis on narration and storytelling, rather than filling the game with useless side-features.

Thank you Rixis, for approving. I'm sure you'll enjoy this game. I love mercenaries myself. They make such amazing and badass characters, especially if they're female.
Better go about making a support bar for this game.
You guys will support it, right?

Thank you Lunarea. Yes, I have put a ton of though into this project. Development started around November last year, and since then, I've been reading up on mythology, meanings behind names, looking at other games for inspiration and so on. I like having meanings of layers, each hidden inside the other.

This looks pretty good~
I like the mythology and the graphics you have made. Strong storylines are really a huge interest factor for me .o. and it seems like you will include a lot of it in game... ouo o/ keep it up
Thoough... X3 The devnagari writing in your title screen bothers me slightly... As I do not see any connection to Indian mythology ;A; I kinda expected it to be the title written in devnagari script. But at least I couldn't read it as "Enelysion", though I am so rusty in it, I might be wrong unu... <u< I guess you have your reason for iit, it just aroused my curiosity whether it has some meaning or if it is aesthetic touch.
Anyways this all looks balanced and thoroughly thought
;u; Thank you:

The devnagari script actually reads as 'Red Dawn', which refers to the Altan ( which means 'Red Dawn' in a language I forgot to note down...) period mentioned in the game's history. But isn't it better than including random Japanese letters?
There's a lot more that I'm still going to add ( I literally wrote out several pages just relating to the history of Elendia, mythology is really amazing for inspiration and even the names of certain facts in the game can be traced to either Greek or Nordic/Germanic names.) And I am focused on the storytelling and character dev. aspect of the game, so anyone who is looking for a good story has come to the right place.

I couldn't dare not visit that page. Phew! I'm not the only one who deals with detailed timeline, I see. And the pictures, and the story is very intriguing. Although I am not too fond of Mercenaries, I cannot wait to see how you are going to develop a she-Mercenary. It is quite unusual, I may say--although quite common, in the D&D world. Only 2 playable characters, or is there going to be more? Last thing, is the font a placeholder? Because the game looks very "chevalresque," while the font looks a bit too modern... Anyway, I will watch this topic's posts more often to see the progress.

@jaydee15: I'm planning on having around 5-7 playable characters, and yes, the default VX font is a placeholder. I'm not too well versed in font usage, and I'm looking for a decent sans-serif font that goes with my game. If anyone ha some suggestions, feel free.
@Avelin: Thank you for clarifying that. I forgot to note down the languages I was using, but I knew it was an Eastern one. =)
Anyway, here are some new screenshots. I'll add the other 2 character bios to the OP.

The mapping is very eye catching and detailed, seems like there is a lot of exploration to be done, which I love!
It is a very strong project for a first VX game, I am looking forward to play it.

Nishi9261 and ak47lol: Thank you for your support. I enjoy creating detailed worlds filled with lore and legend, with the occasional Deity appearing to help out the heroes on their journey. That reminds me, I still have to draw up a Pantheon of Deities which the people of Elendia worship ( Greek Mythology coming into play here. )
You guys are probably wondering where Cuchuloan/Cuchulain got his divine strength, which enabled him to defeat Atheon. Well, history probably will repeat itself. Blood ties to the country of birth are extremely important as well.
Here are some development screens.

@jaydee15: Yes, I've always wanted to create my own detailed, fantasy worlds. After messing around with RMXP for a good two years ( and remaking the same fan-game over and over again ) I felt I was becoming a little too restricted to the said game's universe. So I wanted to try something different, and basically let my imagination run wild ( in a logical sense, of course )
I was also wondering... Should I use my own art for the game, or stick to the Fire Emblem edits? Granted, it will be more work for me, but original artwork is always nice to have, and I'm not a half-bad artist. Here's an original character I created a few months ago for a sci-fi RP. She basically formed the idea for Laine.
Lyla is my alternate name, but I ditched it because it reminds me of things I'd rather forget...
So, what do you think? Should I use my own art?

I promise Laine will make you smile within the first 5 minutes of the game.

It seemed like an unlikely success story, but the authors of a basic cookbook that requires only four ingredients per recipe have gone on to become international sensations.
We met one of the authors, Kim McCosker, of '4 Ingredients: One Pot One Bowl' in the Good Day Cafe.
BOLOGNESE SAUCE Serves 4
1 pound ground beef
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried Italian Herbs
1 cup beef broth
In a large saucepan, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to break up the meat, then drain off any fat. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the herbs, broth, and sea salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 45 to 55 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce remaining is nice and thick.Tip: Cook once, eat twice! Serve it over pasta one night. Then spread a sheet of puff pasty with the sauce, cover with fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese, roll, slice and bake in a 400º oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
CHORIZO & CHICKPEA STEW Serves 4
5 to 6 ounces fully cooked chorizo, thickly sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 can (15 to 16 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed
2 cups chicken broth
Heat a deep pot and brown the chorizo, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Season with sea salt, and pepper to taste.Optional An ideal accompaniment is a quick, creamy polenta made by simply adding cornmeal to boiling water, whisking until absorbed, then stirring in cream, grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt and pepper.
AVOCADO & PROSCIUTTO PASTA Serves 4
1 pound ruffled or spiral pasta
8 ounces prosciutto, shredded
1 ripe avocado, cubed
¼ cup chili oil or to taste
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and toss with the remaining ingredients. Pour into a serving bowl and enjoy!Optional: Instead of prosciutto, try this with a ¼ pound diced cooked shrimp
Tip; Chili oil can easily be replaced with olive oil if you don't want it so spicy.
BABY BANOFFEES Serves 12
12 soft ginger cookies
1 can (13.4 ounces) dulce de leche
1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
1 banana, sliced
Preheat the over to 325ºF. Flip over a muffin pan and place the cookies over the cups. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes to soften the cookies. Flip the pan right side up. While the cookies are still warm and pliable, press them gently into the cups to mold. Divide the dulce de leche evenly among the cookies and top with a spoon of whipped cream and a banana slice.PEACH SLICE
Serves 8
1 package (15 ounces) vanilla cake mix
½ pound (2 sticks) butter, melted
1 can (14 ounces) slices peaches, drained
1 ½ cups sour cream
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the cake mix and melted butter to form a dough. Spread the dough evenly in the baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the peaches and sour cream. Spread evenly over the base and return to the oven for another 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge (this gives the base time to set). Serve chilled.Optional: Sprinkle with cinnamon before the final bake. This is equally delicious using 2 peeled, thinly sliced apples instead of peaches. If peaches are in season, you might want to make your own stewed peaches rather than using canned. In a saucepan, add ¼ cup sugar and ¾ cup water to 1 ½ pounds peeled and halved peaches. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduced the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

A woman inside a popular, new club in Southfield was fatally shot when gunfire erupted outside. I spoke to the victim's husband about the unsolved murder."Some guys got into an altercation inside the club. The bouncers put them out, and those guys came back to the club and began shooting, and the bullet hit her in the back of her head. She never saw it coming. From my understanding, she died instantly," said Leon Riggs about the death of his wife, Nicole.The 33-year-old mother was gunned down at a birthday party."Walks in a room and lights up a room. There's nobody who can tell you a bad thing about her," Riggs said. "She went out with her cousin for a birthday party. Really didn't want to go that night, but she went just because it was her family, got there, had a good time."Myst Ultra Lounge on Franklin Road, once considered a safe party place for mature adults, is now riddled with bullets after a fight inside the club led to shots fired from the parking lot toward the building.Riggs broke the news to his wife's friends and family on Facebook."It's something hard for me to explain to my 13-year-old to tell him his mom is never coming home, but with the grace of God, we're going to get through it," he said.Riggs and his wife were deeply in love, together for twelve years and married for the last ten. He asked her to marry him all over again on their anniversary in October, and she said yes."We were sitting down getting ready to plan our renewal ceremony. Now I'm planning a different ceremony," he said. "I'm a man of faith. I have to believe God has a plan. I don't understand it right now, and it's hard for me to explain it to my 13-year-old, but I definitely believe he has a plan."Riggs said he is not angry, but he does want justice for his wife. He is asking anyone with any information to step forward and contact Southfield Police.Nicole Riggs did not have any life insurance, so her family will be setting up a fund in her name at Flagstar Bank.

Resident Evil 5 PC Gets Official Release Date, Downloadable Benchmark DemoThe PC edition of zombastic action game Resident Evil 5 will arrive in North America on September 14 and Europe on September 18, developer Capcom announced today.
Enhancements over the previous Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions include support for Nvidia's GeForce 3D Vision hardware, higher resolutions, new costumes and a "new and improved mercenaries mode with three times as many enemies."
If you're wondering about system performance, you can find a "Benchmark Version" of Resident Evil 5 on FileShack. The demo runs through several non-interactive cinematics, complete with stereoscopic visuals if you have the hardware.
According to Capcom, RE5's use of Nvidia's stereoscopic 3D technology marks "an industry first" as the effects are utilized "in all of [RE5's] cut scenes," not just gameplay.

that was such a beautiful article, and it had me in tears. Last year I had to part with Zoe the Wonder Dog. She was 16 years old, and to all who saw her, she appeared to be in perfect health. People were constantly amazed at her real age. She was alert, playful, friendly. Then some of her behaviors began to change, I attributed it to old age. I forget things too. It kept getting worse. She forgot her name and her beloved blanket. She started to have minor panic attacks in the car, and sometimes for no reason at all.
I have had to deal with the loss of many of my dogs through old age and sickness, but i think this was the hardest. Because she seemed to be so healthy, but her body could not let her go. When i could no longer control the panic attacks. I had to make the decision to let her go.

As my walks with my Shar-Pei Rajah became increasingly shorter, neighbors would say hi and inquire about her. She was 15 and I can't recall anyone ever saying anything bad about her even as she walked slowly and sniffed the ground. Many commented on how good she looked for her age. I'd have to say I agree. She was deaf, going blind, and arthritic, but she left this world with dignity. Still walking, still holding her own. I couldn't stand the thought of carrying her anywhere. Especially to the last place I would see her.

I have tears running down my face, reading these comments. I dont know if anyone is still reading these after all this time but my golden retriever, Jemma is nearly 17 and showing signs of dementia. She has had breast cancer at 13, cured, arthritis, the slowing down of old age and now a cancer on her back leg, 35mm at the moment, vet says it wont take her out, but she is favouring this leg. For a short time I got frustrated with her up and down antics in the evening, but now that I know about doggie dementia, if she is up, so am I and I am taking her outside for (PP)...you know, a pee!! I dont think her eyesight or hearing is what is was and recently I was told by a regular that I saw on a walking track I take her every day..."you are not going to lose weight at that pace, are you???"...yeah...thanks for that, I am going at the pace of my 17 year old dog, that has waited for me when I was slower than she in the previous years and now the tides have reversed. As long as she can walk I will walk with her at any pace, she is my angel...now I am blubbering....such a sook!!But she breaks ny heart on a daily basis now, the changes are fast at this age...luv my Jem.x

I have never been blessed by having a dog just pass over on their own and it has always been a heartwrenching decision when I was keeping them going for them or me. The vet bills until that day were not a factor. I am not wealthy but they are family and family provides what is neccesary for the comfort and well being of their own. For those who would heartlessly say "it's just a dog"... I would venture to say you have never truly known love.

I only adopt senior dogs. It's strange some of the things people say. I tell them my beagle mix is 11 and half the time the response is, "Wow how long do they live?" Does it matter? He's alive now. In fact he's quite healthy. I prepare myself for their passing on my own time, I don't need your help by pointing out that it's coming.

Loved the article-I'm experiencing this full force for the first time. My GSD Assistance dog is 10.9 years old, and in great shape appearance-wise. Fit and feisty. But I'm taken aback at how often I get similar comments. And about when am I going to replace him, and do I have to "get rid of him" then. No, we've been together since a few weeks old, he's not going anywhere. And no, he's not in his last year or two, his mother lived to 16 and a half. Not that he will (though I do hope so!) but it's just my retort to the insensitive.
Then because he's a GSD, I always get the comments about hip dysplasia, which he doesn't have. If I divulge that he has a herniated disc, I usually hear "Ohh, they get that". No, he was injured and had surgery, then re-injured himself. And now I am going through some scary health stuff that's still a mystery. Even my own mother is critical of the idea of spending lots of money on the health issues. If it turns out he has cancer, or something similar, there's no way she would understand me spending my meager income on saving him. As long as he has quality of life, and not in pain, I would do whatever it takes. Because he's the better part of my soul.

I know I have personally had to deal with things like this and I see people doing it to others and I am saddened by it. I see and old dog and my reaction isn't "OMG its old and you should get rid of it." I go up and if the owners are okay with it I love to hug them and tell them they are so handsome/pretty and I bet they are the best dog ever. because at that point even if the dog looks like it doesn't have much longer it isn't for me to say what the owner should do. And you can see the owners stiffen as you approach. They've heard it all before and they know. That's their family so the best thing to do is praise sweet words and affection which is all the dogs want to begin with.

Loved what you wrote. Excellent way to support those of us who have been there. For me providing my darling almost 19 year somewhat blind & deaf, arthritic & semi senile Papillon, Chloe the hospice care she needed until she let me know she was ready to go to the Bridge was an honor. She deserved my every consideration for all the love she and I shared for so many years.

My favorite comment from a passerby came from an extremely helpful woman who noticed that our 11 year old lab shepherd mix, Zack, was limping along at a fast pace.
The woman went out of her way to stop me and ask "Is your dog alright? Should you be walking him on the trail today?" I said he was fine, and asked why she was concerned. She replied, as if I was a completely irresponsible pet parent, "well, didn't you notice your dog is limping?" To which I replied to this very observant person, "Well, yes, but didn't you notice he only has three legs?".
Needless to say, she left quickly, and I'm guessing that she was less quick to judge in the future.

All I can say, as the tears run down my face, is "Thank You". :)
Beautful! Thank you!!! I just put my 15 year old sweetheart that I had since she fit in the palm of my hand to rest. The hardest thing I have ever ever had to do. I too had comments that should have been left unsaid. Like want me to run her to the vet for you? You should put her to sleep now. Well, no not til I was ready...til she was ready and we all know when that time is...you see it in their cute little faces. Sure she was blind and senile and had accidents but I to someday will probably do the same thing!

My beagle Sonny endured many health problems in his life. He had a weight problem because of thyroid issues. That weight problem led to having both of his front knees being rebuilt, as well as a ruptured disc in his back. Living in New York City, arguably the Unsolicited Comment Capital Of The World, Sonny and I got our share of crass, ridiculous, judgmental and offensive things said to us. "How could you let him get so fat?" "He can't walk." "He's lazy." The worst one was, "What did you DO to him?" That's the one that made me LOSE it. "What I DID to him was spend upwards of 15 thousand dollars re-building his knees and back, giving him three medications twice a day, take him to physical therapy for six months, AND I've carried this 40 pound dog up and down three flights of stairs three times a day for FIVE YEARS when YOU probably would have stuck a needle in him and killed him out of 'convenience'! That's what I DID to this dog." That lucid moment came only after years of hearing stupid comments from people, and I just couldn't take it anymore. The woman who made that comment apologized profusely and slunk away. Sonny lived in discomfort, for sure. But he was so filled with love even when his body turned on him in every conceivable way. Still loved to play, to beg for food, to sit on my lap and watch movies with me, to sleep with me, and to kiss my face incessantly. He was the definition of unconditional love, and perseverance in the face of adversity. Sonny passed away October of 2010. He lived to be 14 years and 9 months, of liver failure. But right to the end, he was loving, and deeply loved by all who knew him. Having an elderly dog has made me a more compassionate and better person. And in the end I can only feel pity for those shut down people that scorn old dogs. They don't have the vision or the capacity to realize how much love these older dogs give, and how much they can teach us about how to be better human beings.

Chris, I am sorry about the loss of your beloved Sonny. I understand your frustration over the comments and applaud you for sticking up for Sonny and yourself. Unfortunately, I'm sure I will be pushed to the breaking point myself one day and it's kind of nice to know I'm not the only one.

Beautiful and well written. Earlier this spring I was asked about one of my GSDs. When I replied that he was 13.5, the person's comment was "wow, you are going to lose him soon." By November, he was gone. I don't believe the person meant to be rude although I admit I was a little put off by the comment. I choose to view the comment as one of knowing what I was sometime soon going to go through. I think as a society we have become so free with "expressing ourselves" that the gates of sensitivity no longer work. Your examples of insensitive comments fall into the same category as telling someone who's mother just died that "she's in a better place" or "well, at least she's not suffering anymore." It would seem to me that a society that has gotten so good at expressing their thoughts, they would have found a better way to handle what is obviously a delicate situation - be it animal or human.

Thank you! I am blessed to have two geriatric dogs in my family, Brandi, my 16-year old bulldog mix, and Bennie, my 14-year old beagle. I dread taking them to the dog park with my two younger dogs, because everyone looks at me like I'm torturing them. Even though she has a degenerative spinal cord condition, Brandi walks every inch of the park, first along the fences and then diagonally across the center. Bennie pitifully walks up to people, looks up with her big, hounddog eyes, and solicits as much attention as possible. I've even seen her feign a limp for sympathy.
Brandi wears boots which help her with traction on the wood floors at home and which keep her legs in proper alignment, keep her muscles working, and protect her nails from being dragged. Everyone who sees her feels that it's necessary to first talk amongst themselves about why she might be wearing them and then drill me with questions. I've even had people comment that she must not like them, because she is walking funny in them. I always say, "She's walking because of them. She might not be able to walk tomorrow."
Brandi is also thin, always has been, but now that she's older her face is bony. She is a strong, muscular dog, but has never had much of an appetite. I have actually sat on the floor and handfed her kibble (and canned food) one piece at a time. I have been asked why she's so thin and whether I feed her enough. Really, people????
I can't explain Bennie's need for affection at the dog park. It seems to be a skill that she just developed on her own. She's not particularly needy at home. She has some physical signs of a harsh youth. I rescued her at about 2 years old, nearly bald from malnutrition, heartworm positive, and with bone deformities from either a birth defect, malnutrition, neglect, or abuse. People have asked what's wrong with the way she walks when she occasionally limps or bunnyhops. I've stopped explaining the whole situation and just simply say that she's in no pain and receives regular veterinary exams.
Bennie also has a large fatty tumor on the side of her ribcage. People have pointed it out to me and asked if she had cancer. Again, I've gotten tired of explaining that the vet did a biopsy and confirmed that it was fatty tissue and needed be removed as long as it didn't bother her or impede her ability to walk. In fact, the vet doesn't suggest putting her under general anaesthetia for a non-life threatening lump. But, alas, I am a bad owner for allowing my old dog to become lumpy and bumpy, and even more so for bringing her out in public looking like that.
Needless to say, no one but me notices how much my two oldies enjoy the trips to the dog park. None of them know that they would be upset if I left them at home. They don't realize that the exercise is good for both of them, and that the change in routine is great for their moods. I would love for someone to just hug them or to note how fortunate I am to have had so long with them, or to compliment the dedication that it takes to keep an old dog healthy. I love my dogs more than anyone could ever love a pet. I would give anything to give them back time from their youth, and I cherish every day that I have with them. So, as long as they still love going to the dog park, I will continue to put up with the stupid and insensitive looks and comments of other people
Thank you for writing and sharing this. We just had to say good-bye to our 13.5 year old Siberian Husky on Saturday after a slow but steady decline in her health. Making the call about when to let go is difficult and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to letting go. The general assumption that old means uncomfortable, out of it, or in pain is so wrong. Living with a geriatric companion animal is difficult but so very rewarding. They do indeed grow sweeter and more adorable as they age. We could not have loved ours any more, which is why we found the courage to let her go.

My heart goes out to you. As a veterinarian, I often say just what you said, about there not being a one size-fits-all approach. I applaud all pet lovers who find the courage to make the difficult decision to have a pet euthanized. It takes great courage, and in my experience, can be one of life's most painful and personal experiences. I frequently tell my clients to listen to their hearts as they try to make a decision about when, where, and how their pets will die. Choosing whether or not these gentle friends will die isn't really our choice to make, but we do have choices about the circumstances of death. Nobody wants to make that choice a single minute before they must. But nor do they want to do it after they should have. To me, this article is about exactly that - pet lovers deserve so much patience and compassion as they tune into their own hearts. The final months, weeks, and days of a pet's life can become the most precious of memories, if one can but make peace with the fact that our beloved pet cannot walk our entire life's journey with us. It just can't hurt that bad to say good bye if it hasn't been really, truly wonderful to have had the pet in the first place.

This article and many of the comments really hits home with me. I am owned by 2 great danes and they tend to draw a lot of attention and after the "that dog needs a saddle", "how much do they eat/poop/weigh?" the next statement/question is always "they have short lifespan don't they?" I try very hard to be nice and say that average lifespan is typically lower than smaller dogs but some danes live to be 12-14. Instead of letting it go, many people insist that is not the norm and then ask how old my danes are now as if gauging when my dogs will die in front of me. It truly breaks my heart and the older they get (my male is 3 1/2, my female almost 3) the more these comments will bother me. I know the health issues, lifespan averages, etc because unlike many dog owners I did my research on the breed before adopting one. Please don't treat me like an idiot or my dog like dead-dog walking.
This story is so heartfelt and true. I deal with this on a day to day basis. I have a great dane that recently turned 6 years old. She is mostly black and her gray started showing early on her face (at about 3 years old). Even before the gray started showing people would randomly say "but that breed doesn't live very long". Now seeing as I work in a vet clinic and have had great danes before, I am well aware of their lifespan but do you have to point it out??? Now when I tell people she is 6 the comment is "oh she probably won't live much longer". Really?!?! She is my baby and I have had her since she was 9 weeks old. I don't need people reminding me that she is getting older.

As I sit here waiting on word from the surgeon about our rescued dog, I am touched by such an article. Our dog was told to be four. She is visibly older but I don't care, I love her anyway. I was so upset to have someone tell me that I was fooled into getting bag of bones. Why would such a person say that to me? I love our dog and she is having surgery to prolong her life.

What a touching story and how recognizable... My girl is a 2 year old Great Dane and I have been getting comments from litteraly day one; 'what a shame she won't get old'. Saying this to someone walking a 10 week old puppy is about the dumbest thing I could think of!! How about ' what a cure puppy'! And now that she's two, a comment I recently got was; 'aha, she's two now? So she's almost at half time'. People can be a disgusting breed!!

I have an 8 1/2 yr old gigantic 210lb great dane. He is in great health, except for his hips. He suffered a knee infection at 6 months and consequently, his rear legs were underdeveloped, in addition to genetic hip dysplasia. He has a greyed muzzle, and gets around very slowly. He is obviously a senior dane. We lost his lifetime girlfriend (also a great dane) last year at 7 1/2 years after treating her for lymphoma with chemotherapy. I have heard all of the comments. Yes, I am aware that Danes have a short life expectancy. And yes, I did know that when I committed to chemo treatment (which is not cheap for a 120lb sweetheart!) It broke my heart everyday to know that the end was coming. I did not need to hear that I was crazy for spending that much money on "a dog". I have searched relentlessly for a harness for my big guy to help him up off the floor, which gets harder for him everyday (I finally was able to get one custom made..it just arrived yesterday!) The comments I hear about the money we spend, or the fact that we will not kennel him just so we can take a weekend trip, or "you know they don't live very long don't you???" just amaze me. I have chosen to have dogs instead of children. I would never ask someone with a handicapped child how long they expected him to live, or if they really thought he was worth the money.

Thank you for sharing this - having just been through the 3 mos long ordeal of watching my elderbull die of liver cancer, your last paragraph really said it straight: "The last years and months we share with our geriatric dogs are among the most bittersweet times in a dog lovers' lives...." The dog itself, being the wise and sensitive soul that it is, knows that he/she must leave soon, and I think the dogs are torn up about that -- they don't want to leave their family unprotected. My dog hung on as long as she could, and then we had to do the right thing and let her die with love, peace, and dignity. God, I'll never forget her!

My border collie just turned 16. One week after her birthday I found out she is in renal failure. It's hard enough for us to face the inevitable truth that our furkids must die too early for us - but then to hear the ramblings of people who just don't understand. I wish people would do what I do = When I meet an elderly dog I simply say to the owner "what a graceful old lady or man" and give them a gentle rub on the ear.

Way to make me cry, really.
We have a houseful of geriatrics and are facing so many passings lately I can't stand it. What makes it worse is that our crew still LOOKS young - genetics and good care are not only helping but hurting, as medical issues are not as aggressively investigated by vets (because, DAMN, they look good for their age) and admonitions to other pet owners while walking ("she's NOT a hampy canmper, please call your dog before she takes his face off") are met with incredulous looks.
Vets need to heed our "there IS something that's not quite right" calls so we can catch things -people need to understand that there's way more under the surface sometimes ...

What a wonderful article. I have an 11 yr old boxer x mastiff who suffers from epilepsy and cushings. Yes life is hard sometimes, but I would not change it for the world. He means everything to our family and in alot of ways he is the cornerstone of the family. We will do everything in our power to keep him around for as long as possable.
As for walking, well because of the cushings he needs to pee an awful lot and one insensative neighbour wrote in chalk on the pavement (she obviously does not realise that she does not own this) no dog pee

This actually made me cry. We lost our dog about about 9 years ago and me and my husband both cried for days. He was 11 years old but list his beautiful hair and had a tumor growing from his liver that filled his body so much he got to where he couldn't walk. This killed us and we still hurt over it. We now have four dogs a golden retriever, Australian Shepard, Pomeranian and my little 11 year old yorkie. All four dogs are our kids and all four sleep with us. I dread the day we lose them. My yorkie has had bad allergies since she was one year old and we have spent a fortune in medicine for this and had to watch her suffer from scratching the medicine helps somewhat but not completely so I put itching cream on her and a little shirt that is soft so she doesn't rub her belly raw. Some people think that due to this problem and the cost we should put her down. But I will not do that until she she can't go on and I will continue to love her and go into debt to make her comfortable. Some do not understand how we can do this. We love our dogs and got them because we live animals so much and you would kill your children because they had expensive medical problems. Our dogs greet us with excitement when we walk into the house. They give us live and joy like any of our kids. People need to think before they speak and understand we love our dogs as they are our family. Thanks for the artical even tho it made me cry for my lost dog and how so many animals are abused

We have a 17 years old Lhasa Apso who is deaf, blind and senile. It's very sad to see her walking around aimlessly, knocking into stuff and not recognising us anymore. People have told us to put her to sleep but I have been tempted to ask them..."Would you put yr mum/dad/grandparents down if they are in this situation?"
We recently lost our 13 year old maltese to kidney failure in August 2011 after 1 year of intensive daily subcutaneous infusion and medication (enough to open a small pharmacy) and spend lots of time with him before he passed on.
It's easier to take the easy road out, put them down, many have done that in these situations but our 2 dogs have given us so much joy when they are young, how can you abandone them when they need us most.
Thanks for writing the article...yes there are a lot of insensitive non-dog people out there.

I love your article. Very touching and sensitive, and made me realize that those comments bring out the sarcastic in me, yet I say nothing. These people, that say stupid things like that, are more concerned with appearing to be experts on observing the obvious, than they care about the pup, or their two legged momma or poppa.
I've endured many stupid comments like that too: comments about putting boots on them in the winter because people oversalt the sidewalks, or putting a jacket on them in minus 40 because they don't have the body fat they used to have to keep them warm. I was tired of explaining that I'm not a lonely childless woman who is trying to make up for not having children.... I love the fact that my dog is a dog... and I have assumed complete and utter responsibility for them....that includes recognizing their mortality from day one.
I think that once my two rowdy girls get old, if someone says something to me about it, I may just say "yeah.....so????"

When was the last time any of you read an article or anything else for that matter that didn't involve dogs? Just because your dog gives you un conditional love without a word does not mean they are not suffering and you keep them that way WHY??? Think about it!

My son and I 'share custody' of his dog who is just a mutt he saved from sure death almost 16 years ago. He (the dog) spends about half of each week with me and half with his 'Dad'. As I sit here and type this I look over at the chair beside my desk and there he is, sound asleep. As I look at him the one thing that immediately comes to mind is how precious he is and how much I love him.
Thank you for this article.

Thanks for this. My older sister, Tomodachi, is 11. I am 10. Fred is 9 and the baby sister, Yuki, is almost a year. I was diagnosed with cancer last March and when the vet said "We can understand if you opted not to treat Barney," my dad said "We will sell everything we own before we let this dog die." That felt pretty darn good. The chemo? Not so much but I AM in remission. You can read my blog here - http://fightingk9lymphoma.blogspot.com/
I know the cancer will come back someday. It's lymphoma. It'll be back. I only hope that if it's not worth it for me to get up every day, to stroll through the backyard (I don't have to be able to run), smell what I can, and play with my siblings, that my parents will do what they know is right. If I am in too much pain, they'll know. If they keep me alive because it'll make THEM feel better, that'll be hard to take. But I know they'll do the right thing. Because they love me. I can feel it.

Beautifully stated. 6 days ago, I lost my best friend of nearly 16 years. I feel as if my heart died with him. Leary didn't look his age at all, so we were lucky not to have to endure the "your dog sure is old" comments. But we did have to deal with the "maybe you should put your dog down" comments, mainly from those who barely knew him and/or had no pets of their own. These comments usually came from uninformed people who couldn't comprehend why would would give up traveling or putting ourselves first over the past couple of years while we cared for a geriatric canine. Leary had many of the ailments that accompany old age, but he did not suffer. When he did eventually begin to show signs of suffering from a tumor he'd developed on his spleen, we called our vet, who came to our house and let Leary go while we held him in our arms. He got loads of treats and everything he wanted in his final hours, and through our grief, we somehow still feel a flickering glow of happiness at the joy he brought to our lives. Many people don't understand the extra love and stress that goes into caring for a dog in its final years. As you said, they are some of the most bittersweet times in dog lovers' lives. Since Leary's passing, I especially remember and am grateful for those who practiced compassion rather than judgement.

I lost my 17 year old Westie in August. I took her everywhere. I bought her a buggy and she would ride when I took my two males on our walks. I never left her home. She enjoyed life up until the end. She would have died sooner if I hadn't kept her going.
You wrote a beautiful article. Thank You!

I have a dog that was born blind and from the beginning people asked why I didn't put him down when he was born. Horrible thing to say. My blind baby is now 7 years old and a great joy. I have an 11 year old also that I'm starting to worry about but I would endure the comments as long as it meant I still had time with him. I lost a dog of 6 years suddenly 2 years ago. He stopped eating and 3 weeks later he was gone, we never even found out what was wrong. I miss him terribly everyday still because we didn't get to grow old together.

When you live with gereatric pets you develop a love and appreciation for all thier wisdom and grace. I have a soft spot for old souls and whenever someone tells me about their aging animal or we meet one out and about my comment is always the same "what a lucky dog to have such a caring human in their corner he/she looks great". I believe that is the only appropriate response.

Thank you for this insightful article. I teach Animal Communication and the very first thing I insist upon at the beginning of each workshop is unconditional and total loving respect, first & foremost for the wonderful animal teachers who agree to help them learn, then for the humans who accompany them, then for each other (There's no such thing as a stupid answer) and finally for me.
If a complete stranger walked up to us and said "You look really old" or "you are too fat to be healthy" we'd be incensed. It's time we all took a stand on behalf of our animal friends, until the whole world can hear their own replies!
They're not old, they're experienced!

I love tis article. Right now my little best friend of 14 years is recovering from eye surgery and vestibular disease. This is the first sign she has exhibited that she is getting up there in age. My Rat Terrier still acts like a puppy. I don't care what people say about spending money for surgery, running home from work just to put drops in here eye. If I hadn't done this she would still be suffering. Now the only thing she suffered from is the cone collar, boy she hates it. But, it is protecting her, I can live with that. I have had her 13 years. She is my baby, my best friend. I agree, she has gotten sweeter with age. Anyone who hasn't had this kind of love from a dog, just can't understand, they don't get it. I too but a pet buggy to take her out when she got sick, but I don't think she is going to need it, not just yet. She getting better.

Dear Editor:
I am writing in reference to the front Page article of Tuesday, February 19, 2013, "Is unitary status best?" I find the article, and more specifically, the statements made in that piece most distressing.
I moved with my family to Minden in 1975 from Marshall, Texas. My three children had been attending integrated schools in Marshall. My position with Thiokol Corp. (LAAP) brought us to Minden. So, we have lived here 38 years.

By now, it's clear that most Minnesotans think winter has overstayed its welcome, but the continued chill is causing some issues for the critters that call the great outdoors home.
The whole circle of life is currently on hold -- no flowers for bumble bees, too cold for tadpoles, and the birds are in a bind when it comes to finding food.
There are more than 100 species of birds that migrate through Minnesota after wintering in the Gulf of Mexico. The loons are beginning to return to their northern lakes -- even if their accommodations aren't quite ready for check in.
"They're probably not too happy about that, but they don't have a choice," admitted Carrol Henderson, of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. "But, there will be plenty of fish in the river. That's one of the birds that can adapt until things get better."
Henderson said other species are in for a surprise. Birds that feed primarily on insects, like the purple martin and swallows, could be in trouble if things don't warm up soon.
"If that hatch is delayed, sometimes they may actually starve to death when they get back to Minnesota," he said.
Bald eagles don't migrate, but a camera placed inside a nest captured what can happen when the three eggs were laid a little too soon.
"They were observed off the nest long enough during a really cold spell that we believe those eggs froze because a month and a half later, the eggs didn't hatch," Henderson explained.
While a few backyard birds may have already settled in, there are few worms in sight. That means robins will often feed on fruit trees while others flock to nearby bird feeders.
"I think the birds are fine," said Joan Swanson, at Wild Birds Unlimited. "We get very depressed about it because we're emotionally attached to the weather."
Yet, water fowl like geese will find it too cold to incubate their eggs when they return.
"In many years, the Canada goose will start nesting in the first week of April and they've got goslings hatching by the third or fourth of May, which is yet this week," Henderson said. "I don't know that that's going to happen this year."
Given the mess a goose can make, anyone hoping their loss might be a net gain for humans should think again because according to the DNR, the geese may just try again if the first clutch of eggs doesn't take.

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Hello! I'm LeAnne from Everyday Celebrations. This is my first recipe here at the Moda Bake Shop. I am thrilled to be a part of the wonderful contributors and hope you enjoy this fun project! Please drop by my blog and say hi. You can also find more fun items and patterns in my Etsy shop.
I made the Number Playmat with the young preschooler in mind. Little preschoolers are filled with excitement as they begin to learn the basics. This mat can be used as a fun and interactive aid in teaching numbers and numerical representation. This colorful Number Playmat has many uses:
- Toss the bean bag to the square with the matching number.
- Toss a bean bag on 'jump' or 'hop' and jump or hop that many times.
- Toss two bean bags on two squares. Add or subtract the two numbers.
- Pick a number. Find a representation of that number in the room and place it on the square. Repeat for all the numbers. Example: Find two blocks and place on the 2 square.
- Write number words on index cards and place on the appropriate square. Also place a representation on the square.
1 Punctuation Layer Cake by American Jane
1 yard for backing
1 yard for binding and optional drawstring bag - find the drawstring bag tutorial here
(if not making bag, 1/2 yard is enough for the binding)
numbers and words templates - (included in printer friendly version at bottom of post)
**Note there is not a 9 in the file because you can flip the 6 and have a 9.**
1 yard iron-on adhesive, such as Heat n' Bond
beans to fill bean bags
1/2 yard of flannel for bean bags, optional see step 19
1 1/2 yards ribbon or cording, for the optional bag
***All seam allowances are 1/4" unless otherwise noted. ***
'Slice' into that yummy layer cake and decide which squares you will use for what.
- playmat - 12 squares
- numbers/words - 4 - 7 squares (I used less 'busy' prints to help the numbers standout.)
- bean bags - 5 squares
- rock pockets, optional - 1 square (I added 'rock pockets' in case I use my playmat outside.)
Block A - you will make 4 of these, corner pieces
Block B - you will make 6 of these, middle pieces
Center Squares - two layer cake squares that will remain whole
1. For block A: Select four squares.
2. For block B: Select three sets of two squares. (They are stacked on top of one another.)
3. Center Blocks: Select two squares. These will remain whole.
Cutting Block A
4. Stack the four squares for block A together. Cut 3" from one side.
5. From the 3" x 10" piece just cut, cut 1/2" from one of the short ends.
6. From the main piece that remains, cut 3" from the 7" side. You will have three sizes for block A:
- 3" x 9 1/2"
- 3" x 7"
- 7" square
7. Stack the six squares for block B together. Cut 3" from one side.
8. To make each block, pick one 3" x 7" piece, one 3" x 9 1/2" piece, and one 7" square. With right sides together, sew the 3" x 7" piece to the left side of the 7" square. Press seams open. Repeat for the other A blocks.
9. For this step, keep the block in the position shown above. For two of the blocks, sew one 3" x 9 1/2" piece to the top of the block. For the other two blocks, sew the one 3" x 9 1/2" piece to the bottom. Again, sew with right sides together and press seams open.
10. To make each block, pick one 3" x 10" piece and one 7" x 10" piece. (I just swapped pieces between the two squares I initially matched up.) Place pieces right sides together, matching up the 10" sides. Sew and press seams open.
11. Decide on the placement of the squares. Refer to the picture below for placement of the blocks.

18. Select 5 squares from the Layer Cake. Stack the squares together and cut into 5" squares. You will have (20) 5" squares in all. On 10 of the squares adhere the number in the center of the square.
4 1/2" squares from flannel. (I cut my 4 1/2" squares from some leftover flannel from a previous project.) To make this quick cut two or three 4 1/2" strips from flannel, stack, and then cut into 4 1/2" squares.

More than 130,000 people are expected to make their way through the Jacob Javits Center for this year's New York Comic Con.
The convention of all things comics and pop art features people in costumes and stars of some of the biggest movies and shows.
"We're throwing a party for really cool people," said Lance Festerman, Global VP, Reed Pop.
Twenty million dollars is forecasted to be spent at the convention that includes 400 events spread over four days.
Among the panels taking place is a discussion with Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson.
He'll discuss the new 13-part docu-series, Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.
Many of the panels are being live streamed NewYorkComicCon.com
A robot made of artificial human organs and limbs is strutting its stuff on Friday.
The robot has about 60 to 70 percent of the function of a human. It stands six-and-a-half feet tall and can step, sit and stand with the help of a Rex walking machine that's used by people who've lost the ability to walk due to a spinal injury.
It also has a functioning heart that, using an electronic pump, beats and circulates artificial blood, which carries oxygen just like human blood. An artificial, implantable kidney, meanwhile, replaces the function of a modern-day dialysis unit.
The convention is sold out.
It is expected to have a $70M impact on New York City.

This was super delicious and used leftovers.. I stacked millet polenta, green goddess sunflower pate and simple marinara in my cast iron... and covered to heat up. 1o minute meal as I had all of the individual ingredients made. I have some millet leftover from the cup I made.. and 1 cup of lentils along with some marinara.. which means I will turn them into a soup I'm sure! lol..
My local Market Basket sells a big stack of corn tortillas for $.99 which serve as a base for several meals. They can also be used to make homemade baked corn chips. All you do is cut them into chip shapes, spray with cooking spray and sprinkle your favorite seasonings on them. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or so and there you go!
The queso was made from my sunflower seed cheese base. Super delicious and this serving of chips and dips came in at 95 calories 7 g protein and 3 g fiber. You could add a cup of baby spinach or kale and make a taco salad for a more substantial snack.
This passed the younger kid test. (my older son has a much more forgiving palate)
I admit, I LOVE 24 and other super cheesy shows. I also like war movies!
I digress.... back to the Sourdough! I made a big batch of dough that has been in the fridge for several days. These English Muffins turned out perfectly! I am thrilled! I also have enough dough to make a pizza which I will probably do tomorrow. I am spending the night at the house, so it will be super easy to transport pizza making materials.
I shopped today and am NOT HAPPY with my purchases. I had the bright idea to walk to the stores instead of drive. At first, I was only going to walk to Big Lots and purchase spices, but on the way home, I stopped at HELLMart. (walmart) because it was on the way. I figured I would pick up some cilantro because I remembered it was cheap there.
Well, I ended up spending $16.17 at Hellmart along with $3.00 at Big Lots for a total of $19.17.
I didn't even get any kale! The vibe in Hellmart is so depressing and their food is gross and I wish I had just walked right by. I only wanted to spend a total of $15 this week and I could have gotten better food at Market Basket and gone to the health food store for the spices, beans and oatmeal.
Oh well.. Live and learn I guess.
Here's what I bought:
2 lbs oats 2.28
9 oz baby spinach 2.28
4 avocados 2.00 (can you believe they were only .50 each?)
2 small bunches cilantro 1.14
1 lb great northern beans .98
ginger root 1.26
ketchup 1.50
lettuce .98
3 lbs onions 1.88
flour 1.88
Big Lots:
Dried Basil 1.00
Cumin 1.00
Italian Seasoning 1.00
