I am so so sorry! I requested an Emoticon I think or it may have been something else and I never did check back to see if someone answered me and if they did I am so sorry for all the work they may have done and no response from me.

I had gotten ill and went through chemo. I got better and was in remission but took a turn for the worst again. I think this was several months ago. When you get so sick you are not even aware of what day or even what month it is and you don't feel like sitting up at a computer or even watching TV. I liked to read but could not keep my mind on what I was reading for more than a few minutes. You become a vegetable literally.

I would dearly love to have an Emoticon. I have 3 beautiful Golden Retrievers. One female and 2 males. The female is darker. Close to red. The oldest male is standard gold and the youngest is a lighter gold with the beautiful long hair. I don't expect a picture that looks like them but something Golden Retriever like would be great. They are my reason for living.

They are nuts about tennis balls. You never have to teach these dogs to fetch. It is born in them to retrieve and they do it with a passion. The young guy would get on my bed and if I was too ill just lay his head on me to be petted but if he sensed I was better he would aggravate me like pulling off the covers sort of telling me to get up. The female has the favorite trick of begging. She knows it is so cute visitors would pet her and give her treats for it. She would often come sit by my bed with a tennis ball in her mouth and sit up and beg wanting me to go out and throw the ball for her. The old guy is too fat. 120 pounds so he is lazy but he would get on my bed with his back to me for me to scratch his back. He would roll on his back and grin like a gator and kick his legs. They just make me laugh so much! Laughter is really the best medicine. I know someone can come up with something creative and cute to honor these guardian angels. I was given a Golden Retriever with angel wings on it as a gift while I was ill. So appropriate.

I hope this time I can join in discussions and stay with it this time. I have yet to find a friendlier forum. Thanks so much. Cheryl. I sometimes go by CC. :youro ck
