1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

My cat, who I have had for 15 years, is on his way out. I really don't know how I am going to handle that last trip.

You can do it. I never thought I could, but I went through with it. It's very comforting knowing that he left this world with me holding him. On the other hand I had a dog for 14 years and I went away to college. He died while I was doing an internship down in Florida. To this day, even though there was nothing I could do about it other than postpone college, that wears on me. I used to pet him every time I walked by him, and even when he got really old his tail slammed the floor when he heard me coming.

Meat, you're gay.

Also, last night, in the middle of my sleep, my dog got caught under the covers and while struggling to wiggle free clawed me as hard as he could (on accident) across the face. Sometimes he'll do a gentler version of that to wake me up in the morning, so I thought he did it on purpose. Instinctively I just popped him right on the nose and went back to sleep. He wimpered and went to bed.

Take that, Meat.

I beat my Dog religiously when she doesnt poop or pee on my command.

Take that, Husker.

I'm telling your spouse you called him a dog.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
