Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.
Friends - I'm in trouble - and I need your help
-
Alright then, have $5 dollars one me! (sorry, I’m kinda lower income coughdirtpoorcough, maybe next payday).
-
Darth,
Thank you very much! Every dollar is important, and counts for the win!
-
Hope he is doing well. I am happy to support this as I love my Dog and know how important they are to us all.
Sorry I didn’t hear about this earlier. Thanks to Djenson for posting on FB so I could get in.
All the best,
Jeremy

I wondered why my bank statement said $19.82 when I had donated $20.
It finally dawned on me…you live in America’s hat. And that means that the Loon has dropped in value (or the dollar has increased since I last heard) and USA is back on top.
USA! USA! USA!
:evil:

Mr. Bear’s first day in Oncology was yesterday.
Localized Radiation for the next 3 weeks, then I get him back, and he’s good!
His recovery has also been speedy gentlemen, I’ve posted comments from the Vet he’s staying with below
"Hey Joel,
Mr. Bear is doing absolutely great. He’s gotten all his energy back and he’s been having tons of fun sunbathing and playing at the park. He really is a great dog.It’s looking like he’ll start his radiation therapy on Tuesday morning. He’ll go in with me in the morning, have his treatment sometime in the morning, and then unfortunately for him, he’ll be stuck there until my husband is done with work and comes to rescue him. I’m sure he won’t be crazy about hanging out in the runs, but it should only be a few hours per day. The following week, I go onto over night duty, so he’ll go up to the hospital with my husband in the morning, and then I’ll take him home when I’m off. He’ll like that cause he won’t have to spend time in the runs for those weeks.
I hope you were able to open the pics from a few days ago, that was his first big walk to the park. It took a few days before he seemed strong enough to walk too far, but now he’s unstoppable!
Best, " -
None of this would have been possible with your support guys…
Don’t know what to say - other than thank you again for standing to be counted as my friends. I owe each of you dearly.
-
That’s awesome news man!
-
Yes, good to hear.
-
So did the big guy come home?
-
YUP!
Going to make a new thread about it today. Bear’s been back home just over two weeks, and in perfect health I might add.
“Regratbly” I’ve been too busy running up mountains, camping, playing in the sun, and chasing other dogs alongside my boy to make a formal thread about it. lol… please accept my apology - but it is your fault after all. :)
Thanks again guys…
-
Very happy for you both.
-
Terrific. I like stories where the good guys win.
-
Good to hear this good news!

And here’s a photo of the Mr. celebrating with a can of beans.

Gargantua, I didn’t know any of you till November when I joined this last Fall, but I’m so happy for you and Bear. I just lost my parents Jack Russell, Tug, who was a very special dog to me.
I remember when he was shipped from South Africa as a small pup in 2001. We lost him a month ago, and it has been hard on the whole family, so I understand the love you have for Bear and glad he is doing well.
Sincerely,
John
