Sleepwalker tries to MURDER my Dog!


Hotsauce

Recommended Posts

Last night I had a party at my house. I fried a 20 lb turkey for everyone and put the remaining meaty carcass in a glass bowl in the Fridge. I was going to bowl it and turn it into Turkey Soup.

Anyway, one of my wife's best friends is staying with us for the weekend. Last night after I went to bed, I remember getting woken up by my wife at 3:30am. She wanted me to go down stairs, because she noticed all the lights were on. I walked down stairs and saw my 70lb Black Lab licking his chops on his bed. I walked into the kitchen and noticed that the bowl with all the turkey bones had been smashed on the floor, and the bones were no were in sight. After further review, I noticed my dog had gotten all the bones and legs and completely ate them! Also there were chunks of glass everywhere. I cleaned it up the best I could, and went back to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up early, went down stairs and figured my dog had grinded up the turkey legs and carcass. What sucks is that I found the bone fragments, and they are very hard and sharp. They were pretty much like broken pieces of glass themselves. So not only could my dog have possibly eaten glass, but there are def. some jagged bones in his stomach. I called the vet and they said at this point the only thing we can do is watch him. Look for signs of blockage (i.e. bloody diarriah, tender andomen, unusale behavior).

My dog all day has been acting fine. He did not eat his breakfast (I suppose he is full) and he has had diarrhea and bad gas (I suspect he has a upset stomach). I am hoping and praying that he is ok.

Also, when this girl woke up, my wife asked her about it. Apparently she sleep walks EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! She will sleep walk, go into the kitchen, and eat whatever food she can find (she even said that sometimes she will turn on the stove/oven and try to cook in her sleep). I was, and still am, kinda pissed about this whole situation. I understand she has some kind of medical condition, but if she is a guest in someone else's house, she must let us know! Perhaps, we could have taken preventative measures to avoid this mishap.

Thoughts???

    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
