Ol Dirty B

I didnt respond to you. Just wanna say I feel for you that's way rougher than my situation. Hope all is well now. Thanks for your response man. I feel inclined to acknowledge everyone. Feel just like that.

I disagree with you at times, and have said things not intended that could misinterpreted, which is my fault. But you're genuinely a good dude, don't change. Even if I give you ***** for not liking a thread that turns out to be a joke on leading the charge.

Appreciate all the kind words. I had texted my mother last night after I stopped over just saying I'd be over this morning because I didnt feel like I spent enough time with her last night. I showed up and sadly she was gone, they went this morning. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts, I've read every post more than once.

Thanks, good to hear that. The vet and people are telling us to make the other decision and I don't think we're in denial. We just can make it work, she seems happy but frustrated and most importantly pain free. We all work crazy odd hours but it works. Can't thank you enough for the input. Our thing has been when she doesn't like food or people that's when we know the times unfortunately up. But she still seems happy, eats, I'll carry her out to to do the business everyday. Again it's s dilemma, we don't want to be selfish. We want what's best for her.

I gave you a thanks because I appreciate the response and empathy. Not really a proper reaction available that gives you props. I thought her being 16 and getting misdiagnosed 5 years ago would make it easier. That's what I told myself. She already died once at 11 but she's a fighter, it hurts even more this time. Thanks again, and sorry about butters. Can I ask where that name came from? Appreciate it, very much. I don't even know a lot of you, but it really is touching. Especially with how much of an ass I can be. Sincerely thank you

Great post, appreciate it. I'm kind of cold and I'm not really a pet person. I don't have much family, as messed up as it sounds I love this dog more than some of my half brothers and sisters (if that doesn't explain it). We just wanna do right by her.

You're harsh at times, but I've generally liked a lot of your posts if I hadn't said so before. We disagree sometimes, but I've always been able to tell you're a smart guy. Great post here, always good to see people looking out for each other.

That's the thing that is tough. People say you'll know when it's time, but my mom said this morning when she woke up the dog was wagging her tail at her. She still loves to eat. She doesn't yelp or make any signs that she is in pain. Still likes being around people. It's just over the past week it has become increasingly difficult to walk. We definitely don't want her to endure pain, but we don't see signs of it. And we don't wanna just make the decision prematurely because you can't reverse that. Appreciate your response though and definitely taking it to heart.

I know not everyone's a fan of the Dan lebatard show, I remember listening to this when it happened. I've listened to it 3 times tonight, maybe you'll enjoy it too. It really reflects a lot of how it has been with my dog so maybe I find it more relatable. That's tough that shes so young.

Thanks man. I totally understand your dilemma. If my mom and her husband didnt invest so much money in our dog we would have lost her years ago. I couldn't afford it. My friend has a younger dog with a leg issue it was like 3k for the surgery he can't afford it. The dogs happy but can't run or go for walks, really sucks sometimes. You care about the dog though, I'm sure you've given it a great home. That's what people tell me, but it still doesn't really make it any easier.

Damn I just started a thread and it's very similar. Sorry to hear if a mod wants to merge or delete my thread totally fine. Sorry to hear, that's awful

Hey everyone. I know I'm not the greatest poster at times, totally get any annoyance I might cause people. I'm posting this not for sympathy, because I know a lot of you and a lot of people deal with way worse. Honestly feel kind of guilty for how much it is bothering. Really just searching for advice I've been googling for weeks and haven't really found any good advice on the topic. I don't live with my childhood dog, shes still at my moms, my mother lives just a few miles away so I'm always around. Anyways, my dog, shes 16, and she has been a task to take care of the last year almost. Not that we mind, we all really appreciate and given that besides my step dad we all work random hours. I work retail as does my brother, my moms a nurse. It has been to the point where we always make sure someone is with her to make sure she, the dog, is okay. She's not in pain, still loves to eat and see people. Anyways for months, I've been dreading going over because you never know if that's going to be the day. Well two Tuesdays ago was the day. I came over and she greeted me. My brother told me it was the first shes stood up on her own in 3 days. She walked into me and fell and I felt awful. I've been over everyday since, they thought she was getting better but my mom called me today and said it's time. It's been an awful feeling for two weeks. She can't get up, still eating and wagging her tail so we have no idea what to do. You know what I mean? If she's still happy despite being as disabled as she is, how do you do that? Idk I'm not a huge pet person, just wondering how you pet people do it or have any advice on moving on. Sorry for the LAMP post, but I struggle talking about it in person especially when I know people who have recently lost loved ones or fighting cancer. We're really generally blessed. Not sure if this is the right place for the thread, again just seeking advice from those who been through it. Edit- sorry just saw a very similar thread only a couple threads down. Feel free to merge or delete.

Frustrating at times, but I believe he was genuinely a great guy and cemented that even more so after his passing with all of his planned donations, trusts, and charities set up to be created in his wake. RIP, the background on my laptop is still the one light they left shining on the stadium in the snow the night it happened.

It was I. I used this to confirm it instead using my one call. I more so just wanted a bed to lay on for 15 minutes rather than the sex, so, mission accomplished.

I get Alabama is a power conference job. But he's going to be Bobby Hurley all over again. That's a dead end basketball job. Gonna get killed in the SEC, which isn't even a strong basketball conference. I haven't even been a big UB proponent if people have seen my basketball posts. Hope they can keep it up and beat him in the tourney too in a couple years. Is that John's son? I agree idk much about him, but on the face of it, seems like it would have been a good hire.

I'm not questioning their dedication. I just think the hockey teams rank below the giants, Yankees, jets, Knicks and maybe even the Mets in terms of media scrutiny. I can't stand him but does Francesca ever talk hockey? Or his former partner? Stephen A? I just think the local and national draw of those deluded hockeys coverage in that market. I know they have passionate fans but isn't the thing some guys don't like in buffalo is how everyone knows the hockey players and recognizes them in public. Where as in NYC, NJ, philly and other bigger markets they can remain relatively anonymous. Didnt Briere or Drury say something along those lines? Not questioning their dedication, it's just Hockey is almost king and competes with an NFL team in terms of local attention in Buffalo. That's a rarity in American markets. I hear Boston is a hockey town but I struggle to believe it reigns over the Celtics, red Sox, and Patriots. Again, I don't really think his comments mean much. I can see his perspective. Like you said earlier, I think getting mad or upset over them isn't the way for buffalo fans to go.

I mean he does have a point. The media in Buffalo is probably more critical than NYC or most hockey markets because people actually care here. Does NYC have drive time sports shows that even talk about hockey?

No one is enraged by Seinfeld. You ready ***** articles. I've never heard that and grew up on Seinfeld. I'm under 30. I think it's pretty well documented the pegulas hired rex and caused complete dysfunction in the organization by doing so. No one had defined roles.

I think it's a fair point, however, like I said I'm just not sure he had a lot of suitors.

I think that's a bit of a reach. I don't think teams were lined up offering him a contract. I do agree with this even though I previously disregarded him. Yea under whaley and everyone hated that...

That's true. It was refreshing to see. Maybe it's just with age, but I generally think in all sports players want to be friends. Then they all will likely be on more than one team so they can't burn bridges. It's all the football camps, ACU teams in basketball, hockey camps and coming up through minors. A lot of the elite players in all sports are friends by teenage years because not many deal with the same kind of up bringing. I'm going on a tangent. I just think the days are largely dead of true rivalries. No one cares about what's on the front of the shirt, it's about the one on the back. Which I don't blame them and I feel like I'm usually not one to make this point, but does anyone on the Bills honestly care about a divisional opponent because they're representing Buffalo? Same goes for the other teams regarding the Bills. If the Pat's haven't been dominant for 20 years no one would get up for that game. They don't give an eff about the dolphins or the history. Most of the team is from the south anyways.

I know, he never speaks in cliches. What's this gibberish.

I know. It's a lot like Landry, you always want some kind of revenge but I honestly just don't think that's how the game is played anymore. So many of these guys have relationships and with free agency, I don't think you get guys like that. They're all essentially mercenaries.

Idk if Kyle was over their. I recall an lb no longer on this team being closest to the play not doing anything. As much as the child in me would have loved a fight, it's also just that childish. It's not just the hit on Tre. It's the way he acts, speaks, the 69 jokes directed at female reporters that if tre, shady, or almost any other athlete made they'd be in trouble. The guy is a douchebag. Not sure what redeemable qualities people find in him besides being an animal who was trained well at football. Like I said, he's a douche. Wish him the worst. It started before the tre cheap shot and went on after that. The tre thing was just another nail in the coffin of his ***** personality.

He's a douche. Wish him the worst.
