A pet's 10 commandments

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

My cat, who I have had for 15 years, is on his way out. I really don't know how I am going to handle that last trip.

You can do it. I never thought I could, but I went through with it. It's very comforting knowing that he left this world with me holding him. On the other hand I had a dog for 14 years and I went away to college. He died while I was doing an internship down in Florida. To this day, even though there was nothing I could do about it other than postpone college, that wears on me. I used to pet him every time I walked by him, and even when he got really old his tail slammed the floor when he heard me coming.

Meat, you're gay.

Also, last night, in the middle of my sleep, my dog got caught under the covers and while struggling to wiggle free clawed me as hard as he could (on accident) across the face. Sometimes he'll do a gentler version of that to wake me up in the morning, so I thought he did it on purpose. Instinctively I just popped him right on the nose and went back to sleep. He wimpered and went to bed.

Take that, Meat.

I beat my Dog religiously when she doesnt poop or pee on my command.

Take that, Husker.

I'm telling your spouse you called him a dog.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      Also, while the discussion is fun, I'm going to ask the original question in the OP again as nobody has mentioned one way or the other if they know..... Are they selling these in the team store yet? The timing of when these will start to ship out is really the only thing keeping me from putting my order in yet.  If I'll get it in a month or less, I'm ordering it now, if it's going to be a while, I'm going to wait to see if they offer the blue and/or the better version of them.

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      I'm not sure Hunter is some super conditioned athlete that stands out among professionals.  I think he was afforded opportunity that just doesn't happen in football.  That's the most unique aspect.  He plays relatively light contact positions.  I mean, I might wager there are tons trash players on MLS rosters better conditioned than Hunter.  but I also saw Travis Hunter get absolutely cooked late in a couple games.   That's why I don't think he can play both ways in the NFL.   It was largely a sideshow IMO at Colorado.  If you are getting cooked late in games because you are tired at Colorado......you can't pull it off in the NFL outside of some situational package.

      Yeah but our recent history is probably less than a 20% "panning out" rate on Rounds 1-3. I am firmly in the prove it stage as far as that goes. Don't get me wrong, I like some of the guys we drafted a lot but I still need to see them develop and produce.
