A couple of the previous posts have been about very similar experiences I've had
I lost my all-time favorite in February...
I have been upset for the last 5 years knowing someday she'd go
The last year of her life was not the best quality of life.. the last 6 months was bad
It was excruciating when she died but I took some albeit minute solace that it sincerely was for the better... she was done with pain
I did not want another dog... for a while
Couple months later, magically the new one shows up... altho I suspected the fix was in... the troops would disappear for hours on Saturdays
The new one comes home... and it's another female... and her coloring is somewhat similar to my favorite.. altho she's a small sheltie and my favorite was a large collie

I had learned a lesson years back... when we also lost a great sheltie... and they brought home a collie...
the whole house was a total mess... especially my college son.. it was his dog that passed
The puppy refused to let him stay in a funk.. always after him... jumping on his chest... going after his face.. followed him everywhere... like he knew this was his job/role
Monumental in therapeutic affect... so I learned a huge lesson...

This new pup has been fabulous... full of energy and life... and you know you've got her for many years.. totally a pistol/ornery... owns the house.. got her at 9 weeks... and now 15 wks old...

Amusing to see my post just a couple back... my update:
Feb 2016 - lost my all-time favorite; such hurt
well, I wasn't the only one... we also had a BIG male collie
that went into severe depression and never pulled out
died of heartbreak one year later

July 2018 - magically .. a new male collie appeared.. troops almost went to Canada to find him... a blue merle... drop dead gorgeous; named him Remy (Rembrandt cuz of the coloring)
but this one is a handful... extremely intelligent but that's also a problem... ornery as shit; gets into everything; tall enough to get into everything; doesn't necessarily eat it but tears everything up.. knows how to get into and out of every barrier; just turned 8 months...

fully expecting to lose my oldest sheltie and my cat in the next year
cat was a feral and adopted us 17 years ago (He's 19); he decided scraps from the grill was a good deal; then he decided to stay; snatched him up.. got him to vet and all the shots; took many years but I can now hold him

my question... just when is our 22 yr old friggin FROG gonna die... dayumm... started as a kindergarten science project... all the kids had to get a mail order tadpole.. well.. he's still here

Just sayin':

Plan A: Your kindergarten son/daughter has to be 27 or 28 now, ship the frog to their house.

Plan B: see below

Garlic Frog Legs Recipe From Willie Robertson

October 2013’s Recipe of the Month, courtesy of Louisiana Kitchen & Culture Magazine.

Ingredients:
  • 1 bulb garlic
  • Mushrooms (fresh)
  • Bunch of frog legs (given to me by a guy, Scott, who I met at a doughnut store on Sunday morning—it’s a Louisiana thing)
  • Butter
  • Grapeseed oil
  • Flour
  • Beer
  • White wine
  • Seasoning
  • More seasoning
Method of Preparation:
  1. Soak frog legs in beer for an hour or so.
  2. Season: I used our Duck Commander’s Zesty Cajun seasoning, pepper, and blackening seasoning. Roll frog legs in flour, then set aside.
  3. In a large black skillet, bring butter and grapeseed oil up to high (don’t burn the butter; it will brown when burning) — not much oil and butter, just enough to brown. If butter gets low, throw another half stick in.
  4. When oil and butter start sizzling, working in batches if necessary, brown frog legs on both sides; be careful, they splatter.
  5. Set browned frog legs to side. Now, with what’s left in the pan (which is the best of, what’s left), add white wine, garlic (whole pods, peeled), and mushrooms, and cook for a few minutes.
  6. Add all your frog legs back in on top of this, put lid on, and cook in oven for about 30 minutes at 300ºF, according to how big the legs are (these tonight were huge) so they didn’t cook fully in the browning process. If they are small, then cook less.
  7. Meat will be falling off the bone. You will know it’s done—believe me!
