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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
