I know I do a lot of videos cooking meat but believe it or not I do have an occasional meal that is meat-free! This is one of my favorites! I make a nice pizza dough really crispy, and then top it with Mascarpone cheese and vegetables like slices cucumbers carrots and broccoli…then I top it with a drizzle of honey! AWESOME!
What You’ll Need:

tasty, will try this, but hard to concentrate on last pic
This morning I said good-bye to my sweet boy Skip after his very courageous battle with cancer. He was a gentleman right up to the end, even though he had little left to offer, he offered what he had. With his head against my chest he took his last breath, and peace was at last his once again. No more pain and discomfort that has plagued him and his dignity remains intact.
I always tell people how I rescued him from the shelter the final day before he was to be put down, but now as I look back I have to think it was he who rescued me. He came into my life one day as if he had been in my life all along. We were soul mates in a new and different way than with my other dogs. There was a mother-son bond that is special with boy dogs I am told, and after 9 years together I completely agree. He was and always will be my little angel. We took naps together in the afternoon and he sat at my feet watching TV in the evenings. We rollerbladed and went out on the boat and he was my morning buddy to go for rides in the car and we spent countless hours just happy being together.
Skip and I went through many things together. Moving to new places, learning to love boat rides together and his battle with seizures and being bitten by a poisonous snake that nearly killed him. But we got through it all together and he when I was home he was never more than a few feet from me. We slept together every night with his breath on my face and his heartbeat still echoes in my head as I write this.
Today I had to say good-bye to him and it has been honestly the hardest thing I have ever had to do. As he lay there after it was done, his eyes were open and there still seemed to be so much life left in them. I was waiting for him to look up at me as tears streamed down my face as I kissed him and rubbed his ears that I always loved so much. But he didn't. His sweet little heart had stopped and the end was the end. I know that time will take this pain and hurt from me, and as much as I hate to think it, I know that the memory of him will fade into the backdrop of my life with so many other important things in my past. But I know I will always love him in a special way.
On the way to the vet this morning we shared McDonalds fries and chicken nuggets for the last time, and as sick as he was, his tail wagged and he was the old Skip I knew. Just like his mommy he loves his McDonald's French fries!
So this is my last good-bye to my sweet boy Skip. We had a great 9 years together and I couldn't have asked for a better best friend to share my life with. You will always be in my heart and I will never forget you. I have a big framed photo of your sweet face on my wall that I will have until I die.
I love you Skip.

thanks guys. Yesterday was brutal for me. not only did I have to deal with that, I then had to go home and pack and fly to LA where I am now. All i think about is Skip and seeing him lying there. I have watched that video 100 times and I want to reach down between my feet and rub his ears. when I edited videos he always laid across my feet under my desk, for years. I cannot imagine how it's going to be when I get back home and open the editor for the first time not feeling him there.
My heart it broken.
Skip was almost 11 years old. I adopted him from the animal shelter in December 2004. He was a runner if off his leash and had run away from his previous home with his tags on, and when they were called they said "keep him. we don't want him back" turns out it was because he had seizures which I found out about a week or so after I got him. I ended up putting him on meds for it and he had not had a seizure since 2005. but sadly, those same meds are more than likely the cause of his tumor on his liver.
thank you everyone for your sweet words and please know it means a lot to me. I have cried my eyes dry, and as much as I know ending his pain was the right thing to do, I cannot help but feel bad for doing it.
Ok enough of the sad shit. Have a nice weekend everyone.
hey guys...sorry been out of town for the last week. came back home to realize Skip wasn't here for real...VERY sad days lately but life must go on as they say. sad but true. hope you are all doing well and missed me.
thanks guys...I would prefer they focus on animals more than humans. they seem to bring much more good to the world than people do.
this was my first time ever losing a pet, and it's been the hardest and worst thing I have ever been through. I was lucky I had to fly out of town right after because being home is horrible without him
