Thank you - she is a mess but I love her.
Sorry this reply is so late. It's a busy time of month for me....
She is 25" long and weighs 17 +/- pounds! And she was the runt, lol.
Here's a little story I wrote about her with a cool app I found last night (the app is free)
with pictures.

we want a bit of his ashes to bury with my mother and father next year in Valmiera. My father is there (his boyhood town), and we will be burying my mother there. My sister in Mtn. View will be getting in touch with her either later today or tomorrow to express our wishes. I have a question ?? - how do I ask his girlfriend if I can have back the birthday present I sent my brother in May - it's a sweatshirt and says "American Grown - Latvian Roots" with the American flag on top with the Latvian flag on the bottom - I'll see if I can find a picture of it and post later. He didn't even get to open it, as they moved when he got the package, as I found out when I first heard he had liver cancer. Any suggestions?? :waitasec:
I read these to my Huz and he added a couple of comments! Fun Chocolate Facts
A one ounce milk chocolate bar has 6 mg of caffeine.
A recent study at Harvard has shown that eating chocolate can actually help you live longer!
Americans collectively eat one hundred pounds of chocolate every second. My Huz said he contributes to this fact! He is going to figure out "how much" he contributes...
For people that are lactose intolerant, chocolate aids in helping milk digest easier.
Hershey's Kisses are called that because the machine that makes them looks like it's kissing the conveyor belt. :thinking:
The average chocolate bar has 8 insects' legs in it. :freakedout:
The Snickers bar was named after a horse the Mars family owned.
The universally popular Hershey bar was used overseas during World War II as currency.
To burn off one plain M&M candy, you need to walk the full length of a football field.then my bro-in-law and Huz are in trouble...

First, my hats off to you for being so gracious, even in the midst of your grief. It says a lot about the kind of person you are.
Regarding the birthday present, I doubt the girlfriend would have any trouble returning it. It's not like it holds sentimental value to her since he never even wore it. Plus, it's probably the last thing on her mind right now. So the real issue is how to phrase your request as delicately as possible. I think I would use words something like, "It would mean so much to me if..." And then go on to express how the shirt represents the shared roots/history between you and your brother (which is why you bought it for him).
Wishing you all the best as you move forward. One day at a time.

"We have to wait and see what his girlfriend decides to do. He did tell her (I think before his illness) that he wanted to be cremated and scattered among the Redwoods up here in Northern California where we grew up. BUT!!

Glad you both got a good laugh out of my infamous 'Do You Know Facts'!
and Oh let's see... about 1956, 1957 somewhere around there.
Niner LOL at your husband' comments! Tell him I enjoyed them
I am so glad you are feeling better today and are dealing with your loss as well as you are. Will say prayers for you and your family. I am amazed by your strength and your wonderful personality. Your family has been through so much. (((Hugs)))
Niner what a treasure and so many memories!But you see - we (bro & sisters) have had frustrating trouble with her. Back when my mother was alive she borrowed $5000 from my mom in 2008 when the real estate marketed was going to hell in a hand basket, so she could stay in her father's house she inherited and would pay her back when it got sold. But it went into to foreclosure, so no money paid back to my mom. Than she promised some how to pay it back and than wrote a VERY nasty letter to my mother about her treatment and parenting of my little bro. My older bro intercepted that letter and my mother never saw it - thank goodness. Very nasty girl! So, I'm trying to be nice.
and Yes!! I love being here with you all :loveyou: with all the sharing and funnies posted - make my day! Again -
