where the heck has that stupid docfish been?

Hi everybody :wavey:

First I want to thank everybody who has contacted me and shown some concern for where I have been lately. It is always great to feel the love from our family here!!!

We are alive and well. I hate it when it happens (it seems to happen a lot in August) when life gets in the way of what we enjoy. So here is a quick break down of what has been happening around us. Work has been crazy again this summer. It is two summers in a row now that we have been so freakin busy. Since I am the shop supervisor it is my job to make sure everything goes out in great condition and on time. Lots of overtime. I have also been having some health issues that turns out it is mostly because I am fat as well as some arm issues, but nothing major fortunately. If you are young and have a few extra pounds, do yourself a huge favor and loose them while you are young. It gets so much harder the older you get. Also and for us most upsetting, we had to put down our 9 year old boxer. He had a cancerous tumor. As a result of the medical bills for our boxer and some other unexpected bills it does not look like we will be going to Jersey this October for the pin event there. This is a major bummer, but again life sometimes gets in the way.

So this has been our summer and life has gotten in the way a lot this year. But it is now September and time to start getting back in the swing of things. I hope to be around a lot more again!!! I do know in the next week or two a bunch of the people on the never been zapped list will no longer be able to say that. Also later today I will be sending out RAK notices for September. The "victim" will be the one that should have received it last month and boy let me tell you I am excited about this one!!!

I am sorry I have not been around much this summer, but it is an amazing feeling to know that I have been missed!!!


Thank you again to everybody here!!! I have missed my DPF family.

Welcome back David! :wavey:

Docfish who? JK :rofl::lol::rofl:


I am so sorry to hear about your furchild. Prayers and pixie dust to you and Amy.
I was wondering why it was so quiet from your neck of the woods..... Welcome back! :roll:

Hiya David

Sorry to hear that life has been happening to you. Also sorry to hear about your health problems, but I know you have a super sense of humor and you will deal with everything.

Good to see you around. Keep on zapping!

Glad your back.

Well, hey there, stranger! :wavey: So nice to see you back.

Yay, David!

I had noticed your absence, but I assumed you were just off enjoying your Summer.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog, and your health and money issues.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you or Amy.

Welcome back. :big hugs:

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that you've been having a rough time lately. I am glad to see you again though. Now we can all give you big :hug:

So sorry for the loss of your doggie:cry:
I remembered August of last year we didn't have a RAK due to your busy schedule, so I figured it would be the same this year. Maybe we can make it an annual "month off" for everyone.

You'd miss a lot less if you weren't so stubborn and just sign up for Facebook. Amy never misses a thing and Dawny and I have had some epic bouts on FB!! :lol:

Glad to hear you're moving strong and moving on... welcome back!!

You've been absent? Really? WOW! Where have I been?... Just kidding! Been missing you bro! Hope things settle down for you!

Hi David, so good to see you're back! I'm sorry to read about your health issues and that you had to put down your dog
Hope everything will get better for all of you :hug:

Sorry to hear about your Boxer. :hug: We had to put our 10-yr old Boxer down in July - also cancer. However, a 1-yr old Boxer landed in our laps. What can I say -- we love our Boxers.

You're right about the weight thing. It bites (pardon the pun) when you get older. Trust me, it can be done. It's the exercising that I have trouble getting back into :banghead: .

Glad you're back and hopefully I will be able to participate in the RAK attack in the next couple of months. Finally got some work, so we can start digging ourselves out of the financial-hole we're in. :hsd:

So sorry to hear about your boxer, we lost our female boxer this summer she was 7 to lyphoma. Hope the rest if the year goes better for you.

Welcome back, David. So sorry about your dog. I know that is always hard.

I'm so sorry for your loss, sweetie. Glad you are mostly okay!

Sorry to hear about your dog. All of your animals are really great. I am glad I got to give him a pat on the head last summer. He was a good boy.

Summer never seems to really be a "vacation" time, but rather a "shoving in as much stuff as you can" time. It pulled us in deep as well. Glad to see you are doing well and for the stuff that hasn't been... I'm sure they will get better and everything will be back to better states! Always glad to see a post from you!

Glad you are doing well David. Hope to see you again soon.

Hey David,

So sorry to hear that you've had another rough summer. Glad to see you pop in and let us know. So sad to hear that you won't make it to NJ next month but it is understandable. Take your time, get well, and get back when can. :hug:

How dare you insult docfish in your title! I demand this thread be closed and the person who posted it be banned forever for insulting David! Who do they think they are??! David or something?!? Seriously <_<

I'm sorry about your boxer (as everyone has said), animals are so close to my heart that IDK what I'd do. I'm also sorry I won't be seeing you in October, but there are many more years to come No need to get nervous over just this 1 year

While I'm super happy to see you back, I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your furbaby Non pet people don't realize how much of our hearts that those fuzzbutts can take up. You do so much for all of us, you deserved the time off :hugs:

So sorry to hear of the loss of your furbaby! I've done it twice and it's always terrible. They hold a place in our hearts that never fully heals. I'm glad you are back. I've been gone from here for a while as well. Facebook sucked me in, but it's a pretty hateful place as far as pin trading goes. It's mostly all about the money, so I'm back!

Hope to see more of everyone here and meet all the new people!

Welcome back David. Trouble always seems to come in bundles. I am truly sorry to hear about your pup. Healing from that will take time, but hang in there.
All of us in Jersey (except Dawny) were hoping to finally meet you and Amy. We will have to wait until next time. Life is like a wheel that always turns slower at the bottom.
