Our Fred just died. I feel like I've lost a member of the family. We're all crying. He's better off now and not in any pain. He had several tumors. We've been expecting it, but it still hurts.

Fred was old when we found him whining under one of my aunt's bushes. He was a hunting dog that got lost. He was with us for 12 years.

The best picture I have is one of him and chico that we had made.

Sorry to hear about your lose Sunbunny. 12 years is a pretty good long life for a beagle, especially if he wasn't a pup to start with. Best to let them go sometimes. We as owners at times tend to drag out a pets life not because we care about the pet but because WE don't want to deal with the loss. A large portion of the time though, it is usually the right thing to just let them go to the "Great Cat Chasing Field" in the sky.

If you are interested in getting another beagle, a friend of mine has one that he would probably give away for free. It has issues though, everytime it hears someone whistle it shits, a lot too. God forbid you are inside with him and Andy Griffith comes on.

Sorry, Sunbunny. Wish I had more than words to offer.

I've been working temporarily for a vet right up the street. We had a dog that could barely breathe or move and I knew he was going to be put down that night so I sat with him and petted him for a good half an hour. In those moments you wonder why we are given 80 years on this planet while dogs and other loyal animals only get 10-15. Then you realize that it's people like you who make those 10-15 years so much better than what any other animal is getting. You lost a good friend, SB, but you made his life SO much better than it would have been.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.

      Look at what the Bears have done with Caleb Williams, drafting playmaking WR's and TE's and making it easier for him to operate the offense. Conception is perfect for what the offense needs (speed and someone who can make defenders miss) and as today, April 11th, I think he's the pick @19
