The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember. Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.
It’s gut-wrenching enough to have to make the decision to let your dog go. Anyone who’s done it knows the agony. But a Redford, Michigan family may have to endure the unbearable: Having to euthanize their dog a second time.
Last week Matt Olivarez and his family said good-bye to Mia, their 10-year-old Rottweiler, who was suffering from severe spinal problems that left her in constant pain and unable to walk. Matt took her to the vet’s, watched sadly as the vet injected her twice, and brought her body home, wrapped in a blanket, so he and his family could bury her themselves.
When he returned from work hours later, he checked on his dead dog only to see that she was no longer dead. Mia had woken up from the lethal euthanasia cocktail — which apparently wasn’t quite strong enough.

Looks like he got most of his list done. Good on him for that, and good on him for being organized and proactive. It seems he still needs to brainstorm a little for a #4. Maybe #4 should be deciding to cross out items or check them off when finished. He’s wavered on that one a little. Either way, this unemployed guy has gotten more finished off his list than I have. I must get back to work now.
