  1. Perversely, Housley's success early in the season with that winning streak may have been his ultimate undoing. The October winning streak may have indicated to the Pegulas that the talent was on the roster to be a playoff team. I know that's what the winning streak meant to me. If the talent was on the roster for playoffs, the only excuse for the late season collapse is coaching.
  2. Trading away the chance to select an Avalon--for only a Camry and Corolla in return.
  3. So where to go for a good plate in Buffalo..? I only know Bill Gray's, Main Street in Clarence.
  4. It's all about the ratings benjamins. Rams #2 Chargers #5 Bears #6 It must have really hurt the author to rank the Jets and Giants so low.
  5. The three B's: boats, babies, boobies. Plus good healthy pet dogs.
  6. Congratulations on your new guy. Pictures? Yep.. highs and lows, though mostly highs. Ugh.. glad you have a vet appointment, roundworms can get complicated.
  7. The vet actually used pill pockets, I don't know which brand. They offered to sell me some. PS: @plenzmd1 She is doing very well. For a girl who almost died last Tuesday, her turn around has been amazing. I don't take her recovery for granted, I know it's a blessing. Many pets don't get over lepto.
  8. I couldn't get past the ad blocker filter. But on the subject: can Tinder be used without leading to a devastating STD? Asking for a friend.
  9. This I firmly believe. I don't have scientific evidence, it's just something I feel. I am not alone. Hang in there Bro. I am going through similar experience and feel validated that others have the same issues
  10. Thanks. I've been wrapping pills in canned dog food. It works but is messy as heck. I was aware of pill-pockets, but I was not aware of chewy.com... which outscores Amazon in price. Thanks!
  11. ...and when they are retired racers, like Lilly, there is something especially soulful about them I can't put my finger on. Professional athletes.. see what they do to us
  12. Does the construction index account for WNY politics incompetence** and graft? I don't think so. Todays dollars, a 750 million dollar project nationally equals 1+ billion here, I reckon. ** We couldn't even get a Chick-Fil-A in our airport for goodness sakes.
  13. She's resting here in her favorite sofa spot. Greyhounds are thin by nature, but your can see here she's a bit too thin even for a Greyhound. Fattening her up has been a real challenge. She's such a good girl.
  14. Thanks. Your thread should stand. This is Off The Wall.. different standards should apply. I wish you grace in whatever situation faces you.
  15. Yep. They pumped up her up with IV's. That seems to have been the turning point. Right now, liver numbers are elevated. We'll have to figure that out.
  16. *** UPDATE *** Thank you everyone one for kind words of understanding and support. Diagnosis: Leptospirosis, which is very hard to treat, often fatal. I couldn't afford the overnight vet hospital bills any longer, 3 nights was enough. I told the vet she was coming home--one way or another. So I brought Lilly home with a sack full of pills to administer. She is resting in her favorite spot and being a darn good patient. I love her. Wish me luck at being a dog nurse.
  17. Thank you for your words. Here I am days and many dollars later, trying to decide the best action. She was not doing well at the Vet today, and clearly wanted to come home. I'm tempted to bring her home tomorrow for a good nights sleep on the sofa with my daughter, then bring her back to be put down. I'm crying now, which is unusual for me. Yes. They do a daily CBC. Nothing stands out as a cause. Right now she is stable, but has a continuous twitch which the Vet attributes to elevated sodium and imbalanced electrolytes. It's no way to live, I don't know how much longer I'll let it go on.
  18. I must misunderstand contract extensions. I thought they lock you in. I didn't know you could sign an extension, then leave whenever you want. Heh.
  19. I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. Really.
  20. One of my dogs is seriously sick. It's a new experience for me as I have gotten bullet proof dogs my whole life. This is big bucks, I won't go into the total. I feel like all I'm paying for is a 24 hour IV. I told the vet one night only. If they can't get her comfortable by tomorrow I may have them put her down. One, I have little confidence in the vet, they really don't know what is going on--their words. Two, she is in pain. Three, I can't afford the Cleveland Clinic approach to pet health care. She's only 4 years old. I feel tremendous guilt in maybe putting her down.
  21. That about sums it up. Though 3 may be slightly exaggerated.
  22. Traverse City has a very good reputation.
  23. I bribed my way into ECC. If I remember correctly, it was a $25 Tully's gift card.
