Dayton win helped as well as Colorado.

Love dogs. Each of them is unique and special. My dog Buster and I have a special bond. He got me through some tough times.

With the addition of my daughters pets, we now have 3 dogs and 4 cats in our townhome.
I hope they're small breeds...

Daughters dog just had a seizure. Poor buddy. He has stomach cancer that spread to his brain. Not sure he is going to come out of this one.
Leopold is up and walking. Think he is going to be ok for now. Heartbreaking hearing him whine for so long. Many tears.

Forgot to tell y'all about a couple of guys sitting behind us
Was that you and Lew sitting behind the Kemper Sports Live sign midway down the ISU bench during the Auburn game? Recall you posting before that Lew is tall and you not so much. Figured it had to be you.

Right sizes, wrong side of the court. We were directly opposite our team for the first and third games and opposite the opponent on the middle game. Our.seats (row 5 near the baseline) didn't change...we were opposite the home team.
Pro tip...look for a guy with a Santa Claus beard and a green/black weed print bucket hat. :D

My sister says I will strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere. I met a guy at a rest area once. We were both looking at a display of old phone booths. Tall white dude wearing a faded Harlem Globetrotters t shirt. I commented that he looked awfully pale for a Globetrotter, and he said yeah...I played for the other guys. We talked a bit about his life on the road with them and being perennial lovers. He said the pay was good and he had a lot of fun.so he didn't mind losing all the games.
Just thought I would throw this in here...

Thousands of years ago I was loading in a Globetrotters show and they asked me to operate the scoreboard for them. So I did it for a few bucks. The show manager sat near me and would every so often tell me to not score a Generals bucket. Had to make sure the Generals lost.

Those games were rigged? How am I just now learning this?

There's some nice performances on this T-giving parade mixed with what seems like some pop stars' last ditch effort to get a hit with a terrible song.

Not so small. My dog Buster is 75lbs, Willow is 40. Daughters dog Leo is 65. The cats I would say are all average in size. They are Henrietta, Boris, Kiesa & Sunniva. I posted pics of the dogs and Henri back in 2023 in the National Pet Day thread.

That's a LOT of poop and pee. Even not counting the cats that's around 200 gallons of weewee and 550 pounds of poo a year .

Figured out yet that I am home alone today and sort of bored this morning? ;)

I only get a small volume of deer, bunny rat and chipmunk poop/pee in my yard. Also an occasional gross raccoon poop.

Years ago I was sitting in the drive thru and a guy decided he didnt wanted to wait any longer. Backed right into my truck grill, he was so embarrassed.
There are so many butthead drivers out there these days. Nearly got t-boned the other day by someone running a red light. Was turning left at a light. Light turned green, so proceeded. Some moron ran the light without even slowing down. Nearly clipped us form the back side. Half second earlier and who know what would have happened.

Will Lew be visiting us this Christmas? I request a new fitbit if he is.
