Soldier's dog dies in Afghanistan hours after owner is killed: LONDON - A British soldier and his loyal dog who died just hours apart in Afghanistan made their final journey home Thursday.
Lance Cpl. Liam Tasker was shot on March 1 while he was on patrol with his Springer Spaniel Theo in Afghanistan's Helmand province.
Theo died of a seizure just a short time later.
Colleagues described the pair as inseparable.
Tasker's mother says she thinks the sadness of losing his master may have killed Theo.
"My honest opinion of this is when Liam went down, Theo didn't have the comfort from Liam to calm him down. I truly believe when Theo went back on the kennel that that would have a big, big impact because Liam wasn't there to comfort him and calm him," Ian Tasker, Liam's father, said.
"I don't know why I'm not a vet, I can't answer that question. I'm not a vet. But I would like to believe he died of a broken heart because of Liam," Jane Duffy, Liam's mother, said.
Three weeks ago, the British Ministry of Defense was praised for finding 14 hidden bombs and weapons caches in just five months.LONDON - A British soldier and his loyal dog who died just hours apart in Afghanistan made their final journey home Thursday.

I can't wait until all the snow, ice and cold weather is gone and spring finally arrives... spring showers, beautiful flowers & green grass!! What about you??
I am also SICK & TIRED of trying to be nice to everyone...being nice to "toxic people" is like giving out free "crack" to drug addicts. Problem is, it's not always easy to tell at first glance who has "problems" and who doesn't. I never wanted to be a "distant, cold-hearted" person but I can certainly understand how people end up that way!! 
What's BOTHERING YOU today???
(An aquaintance of mine for about 25 years died unexpectedly when she caught this and it was called "bacterial pneumonia". A neighbor from my childhood neighborhood has been in the hospital with the same symptoms, she should be ok. While she was in the hospital, her adult daughter also got sick with this and died unexpectedly in their home. I just heard a lady in a store say she had been in the hospital for 5 days with pneumonia and she was still coughing.) It's been kind of disturbing, having two unexpected funerals to go for people that would otherwise still be here as they were young & otherwise healthy. Anyone seeing any of this in your area?
so that was the end of that for me. Does anyone have an EASY but GOOD recipe that they would recommend me to take? (Some of the neighbors are going to be taking turns hosting these potlucks so I'll be needing more than one good recipe and I'll try to get recipes of "good stuff" when I'm there to post back here later.)
