I bought an original from Don for $1,500 and gave it to Jennie as she was in love with it. It's called "Gem Hotel" and I need to sell it quick for $1,000 cash for alternative treatment for my Stage 4 kidney disease.

On the other hand, a chain is better than wondering off and getting hit by a car. Not too long ago, I drove by a dead dog in the median of an interstate. The dog had a pink collar on, meaning it belonged to someone. I know dogs often get loose, but if that dog had been “inhumanely” chained in the backyard, it might be alive today. Our dog has a 1500 square foot chain link fenced area to run around in. He gets plenty of fetch and play time out there, barks at everything outside the fence that moves, and is never left out long in uncomfortable weather (just long enough to do his business). He sleeps on the bed at night. But it saddens me to recall how some dogs were kept in the neighborhood where I grew up. They were kept outdoors, chained to their doghouse, and fed and watered a couple times a day. The neighborhood kids paid some attention to them, but am thinking they would have appreciated a lot more. BTW, my favorite dog character is Dogbert.Cuzzin Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-86359044117186032072023-12-07T16:00:53.424-07:002023-12-07T16:00:53.424-07:00Test T - thanks for that tidbit; sad.Test T - thanks for that tidbit; sad.Douglas Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230728769771507712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-8856133930081871462023-12-07T10:01:32.006-07:002023-12-07T10:01:32.006-07:00https://westernlandowners.org/rancher-dale-lasater...https://westernlandowners.org/rancher-dale-lasater-remembered-for-his-devotion-to-cattle-land/<br /><br />The above article states his horse reared up and fell on him.Tess T.

Hello,
This is Gary Ruggera. I was M...22 May, 2023<br />Hello,<br />This is Gary Ruggera. I was Marlin Nofziger's close friend who was with him the hours, days and years before he died in the East River in Crested Butte Colorado in l973. I found your touching tribute this morning online, trying to learn more about Marlin's life before medical school. As friends, we had touched upon his early life often, however I have forgotten much, there was probably much we didn't talk about, and many years have gone by. I have been searching for more details regarding Marlin's early life, the search, his recovery. I have been able to locate some of the original articles from the Crested Butte Pilot from the writer herself, although the paper archives for the years 70-73 were lost completely by the paper. I'd much appreciate copies of whatever was written, somehow. I have recently talked to a few on the search parties, to my family who was very involved in the search and offered up our homes to the Nofzigers, to other local citizens who took part in the search and housed searchers, to the Sheriff/Marshall's Office, etc. The event was so traumatic and difficult for me personally, there is much lost or buried in my memories, although I have continued to miss my friend. I would appreciate it if we might talk, or perhaps you would be willing or would rather write in answer to my thoughts and questions since you are an articulate writer. Marlin was a year older, I am 75. I grew up in Crested Butte. I am curious about what he was like as a boy, his family life, his education, his friends, his interests......all things you might know. He was one the smarted people I have ever known,, also the most gentle and loving. We were about to begin what we considered the adventure of our lives and dreams. i was to be married and Marline my best man and friend. What happened to Judy? <br /><br />I am not sure of your name although it seems to be in the blog, let me know if we can go by real names, more so, if you are interested or willing to correspond.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Gary Ruggera<br /><br />73 Eagle's Nest Ct<br />Durango, CO 81301<br />gruggera@aol.com<br />1 (970) 749 8657GARY RUGGERAhttp://mail.aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-61194492082425369092023-04-17T15:27:02.216-06:002023-04-17T15:27:02.216-06:00awwwww such sweet pics!

When granny dies, we can console ourselves by the thought we will meet again in the afterlife, but when our precious doggy dies, that may be it. Many believe we reunite with our beloved pets in the afterlife, and I dearly hope that’s true.Steve Hellernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-82508233307688330552023-04-15T08:34:40.987-06:002023-04-15T08:34:40.987-06:00Such a sweet dog.
