Our 17-Year Old Dog is Gone

Gabrielle "Gabbie" was rescued from a trailer park dumpster in 1996 and ended up with us in Greensboro when we accepted her from her rescuer. She was a Chow-Shepard mix and other dogs hated her, although she never bothered anyone or any other dog her entire life.

 

We had to let her go today as our vet and her 2 assistants also cried. She was boarded there when we traveled and they always let her hang out behind the counter because she was always so calm and well-behaved.

 

I cried like a baby myself. We have no kids and our dogs are our "kids." She was always Daddy's girl until a couple years ago when her health began to decline. Then she just became a 2-spot dog- either on her blanket or laying in the front yard.

 

She did tailgate with us back in 2010:

I regret thinking of the day this comes for me and my pup.  It doesn't make it easier, but 17 years is awesome and a LOT longer than most people get, so take some solace in that.  Non-dog people just don't get it man, they just don't. 

 

Losing a pet (especially a dog) is one of the acceptable reasons for a man to cry.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
