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.

      And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection.

      It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
