I have finally caught up with all the posts.
Many times have had time to read, but not post.
Getting ready for the holidays, daughter and son-in-law here, family parties and then we all took turns with the flu/cold...yuck !
Happy New Year to all !
I have enjoyed seeing your pics and love to relive WDW thru them.
(Have been thinking, planning and re-planning our next trip.
That is half the fun.)

Its hard go keep up with everything during the holidays for sure.

Hope you had a nice season.

When is your next trip?

Some sad news on a personal front today, our mini schnauzer, Riley, who'll be 11y/o on the 31st, was diagnosed with cancer today. He's got 6 months at most per the vet.

dvc at last ! · 01-02-2013, 10:02 PM

Sorry to hear about Riley - dogs are part of the family.

Tossing around 2013 WDW -

Hubby and I possible mini trip in August - if it fits into our
DC trip in August to visit Daughter and Son-in-law. Husband is off
for 2 weeks each August thru job. I am at a school and I am off July and August.

Children did the TOT 10 mile Run end of September it is the opening weekend of F&W , but they want to do the Half Marathon in November the end of F&W the first weekend of November instead. Last September even though the run was at 10pm it was very hot and humid.
I would rather go in September because I love the hot weather more then going the beginning of November because it will be cooler.
One nice thing is that some of the Holiday decorations will be in place
in November. We will see---

Last July when our daughter was married - they took a mini Honeymoon.
She is in education and finishing her PHD and they had limited time -
so they planned a Honeymoon for their First Anniversary. They are using some of our DVC points thru RCI and traveling to Spain for a week.
They will go to Paris for a week after that, but do not have to use points for that week. The son from the family that she lived with when in college
has an apartment his employer has for him in Paris. He lives in Brittany,
but works in Paris during the week. He is giving them the use of the apartment for a week and he will be off work that week.

So --- figuring the resort, season, points for the number of bedrooms
is a lot of fun thinking. We do not have unlimited points. We do like having the kitchen and the washer/dryer instead of a few studios and also order too much food - I need to get that under control -
because there are some restaurants we like to visit, too !

Happy and Healthy 2013 to all !

Any Disney decision for you ?

Sorry to hear about Riley, it's never easy to have a sick family member.

Thank you everyone for the kind thoughts. We're really heartbroken. He's such a sweet dog. We'll make his last days as special and him as comfortable as we can.

I was talking to a coworker today (a fellow therapist) and asked why we continually put ourselves through this as pet owners? He said: because we love, that's what we do. He's so right.

catherines_mama · 01-04-2013, 06:12 AM

Hugs! I'm so sorry Riley and you are going through this. I lost my "buffie" to cancer 10 yrs ago. I never got why people were so crushed when pets passed, and then I got it. It was very hard. Why do we do it? I agree its because we love, but the love they give back is enormous. We get years and years of loyalty and love, so it makes it okay to go through the heartache. Our buddy now, he's 7 and is in a lot of joint pain. We're trying a new supplement and take him in for a checkup next month. It breaks our hearts to hear him cry to get up.

hubby carries him when he can but he has to walk to go out etc.

podsnel · 01-04-2013, 07:48 AM

I love DAK, too. It just feels soooo good there- and there are always unexpected surprises around every corner.

We always LOVE the dancing! That drummer in one of your last pics has picked us to get up and shake it at least 3 times that I can recall.

Love all your pics, but the one i can't get over is the lions! NEVER have I seen that many of them SO WELL at once- and that includes on the sunrise safari. You REALLY lucked out!

You're so right. I hope your buddy gets to feeling better. Is the joint pain from arthritis? I'm just heartbroken. My son is too.
